Pretty sweet!

Thanks guys!

I took a look at some of the Sentinel searchlights, and im not sure if they would look right. Those giant lights have grown on me a lot!

@Shaso: I will definitely be flipping through your thread to read up!

Here is the photo of the truck next to my ShadowSword. The angle isn't Great for size comparison though the top of the trucks cab is just slightly shorter than the side armor of the Super-Heavy.

Nice! reminds me of when our Missile Unit got the new 900series heavy trucks, (They are BIG!) But yes, a big truck for many big jobs. Funny thing is that in the 2004 Chapter Approved book, the Vehicle Design Rules(Overpriced vehicles if you do not discount the things that really are redundant)

they talk about a truck as a replacement for the Chimera or other transport of the weapon costs are under 50pts when you build it. Having reviewed that last night, I felt it a good mention for your truck thread!

Thanks! Yeah i like the size of my truck. You wouldn't happen to have a photo of one of those 900 Series trucks?? I'm curious to see how big. Also, i am a Big truck fanatic i.e. Semi tractor trailers, fire trucks, etc.

Hmm, That sounds Quite interesting! I'll see if i can find some info on that online. I would definitely make a custom Codex entry for my Truck! Thanks for that little bit of neat info!!!

Cheers!

I'd say your IMC fits as the 900's are GMC manufactured and appears you hit the size spot on!

So, while the deuce and 1/2 is a 2.5 ton truck, the 900 series was 5tons.

Doh! Tricked by Google!

That is pretty awesome! These trucks look so cool! I think I am going to come back and look at these for some inspiration when i get around to making more of these!!!

Quite a neat little coincidence that those are made my GMC!

Also, I know i talked about a canopy for the IMC, I am currently trying out the ideas that were posted up in the past! once i finish them, there will be more photos! Also, hopefully will have the final paint job done up on the IMC.

Cheers!

You could also check OshKosh. They make the 7-ton MTVR, M-ATV, and the Sand Cat.

Loving that muddy truck. It actually looks like it would probably hurt more if you tank shocked someone with that than with a tank, I can just see people bouncing off the front grille!

That's really good. I was unsure when I first saw the rough patches on the front but you managed to pull it off. Easily recognisable as the pictures. I really like the way you have made it big. Looks like it could actually carry an IG squad.

Thanks very much guys!

@effendi: that's a cool link to some neat looking machines! Definitely going to use that for some inspiration!

@DaedricBob: Thanks! I think i have to agree with you! Hmm, running over a nice little squad of Orks... Their arms and heads flying as the IMC chunks them Heh heh

@4M2A: Thank you! It started off quite rough, though as you can see i did a Lot of fine-tuning and cleaning up of the model. As for the size, i Love how large it is! It's not exactly the same dimensions as a Chimera, though they are off in a way that No one can claim Modeling for Benefit. Due to its thinner profile and longer wheelbase.

Cheers!
