Yeah, I suppose that would be ok, though RuzzBots are typically Russ hulls, but I suppose Rhino bodies are close enough...
Now, here is a question, would a RuzzBot be a BattleWagon or LootedWagon?
BattleWagon is closer armour and wargear is more diverse BUT LootedWagons have suited Rules and the BoomGun has a similar profile to the Battle Cannon

And another person falls to the fighta craze...
And for the record it says
"...Leman Russ Hull or Similar..."

And that stuff you mentioned is for the old edition, where looted vehicles used the profile from other dex's
Yes, the could have skimmers...

15cm or 6"

lol, they can, thanks, time to make it so they can't...

yu can help vote, the whole of dakka will vote for the best in each catagory.

So do I...
Do you want to join?
If so, what category?

hope to see some Klaus work.....wait, he have to finish the Athena, first!

Ah ok.

Aquaterry wrote:I call dibs on the big mek stompa!
It is almost finished anyway!

Aquaterry

Sure, I'll put ya name down!

More than one year is too constricting?!

It's 12cm (5") tall

Dat's ok

1st: It says on the rules that you only need to ask me or proto if you can make a vehicle not on the list.
Skullhammer-Yes
Warbike-Proto and I will think about it
If Proto and I say nay to the bike, you can do a buggy instead.
2nd: That Savage is 3 and a 3/4 meters long!
I wasn't suggesting anyone to do it, I was just stating if you wanted, you can
Insane maybe, but then, the person who attempts to build it has to be to attempt it!

I'd say fighta based on size
Remember, I't doesn't have to be fully legal as far as the game of 40k (apoc) goes, as you can easily create your own datasheet after so the vehicle you built isn't collecting dust

Hopefully...

Bigfish has said he'll probably make a RuzzBot!

Hey! I'm making a RuzzBot too.
Of course, I will be building something else afterwards but oh well.

Ok, so monkeytroll, I'll put you down for a fights.
Maddy_, I'll put you down for the warbuggy varient.

Any more?

Yes, someday there will be pics...

monkeytroll wrote:Well if warbuggies are in you may as well put me down for at least one of those too

Hmm, what about Junkas? Of couse mine should be viable as a BW too, but...

So glad this and the trukk rally are long term projects

Yeah, sure, I'll add you too the warbuggies (and create the Junka Catagory)

Do tell maddy_!

@monkeytroll: should I put you down for junka as well?

he, now we have pictures!
He all have our work cut out!

ah, ok.
I'll put you down now!

speed isn't everything...

It's always good to get ideas from us builders.

That warbuggy is so funny (in a good way )
That razorback (which is mine, and I would like it back please) is doomed!
How dare you take Barry the ork for scale purposes, oh, wait you didn't!


So, lets get some more meks ta build vehicles!

Well, It looks funny next to the razorback!

I think the savage should be for the an ultimate challenge!
Look, if you make a savage, you'll get extra time!

Y..y..y..your j..j..j..joking, r..right?

Ohh, and the tail is (over?) 1.5m
Each small box = 1.5cm

Anyway, the tail=1.m
the way the grid works is: Each small box = 1.5cm^2
The side of each small box =1.5cm
1.5 cm on the grid = 1m in real life!

Yes it is

I'll add your names down when da computer is free! (I'm posting on my IPod at the mo, and I can't edit the list from it *grumble*)

Sure proto
You sure you wanna do this? It's 3.75m long (and who knows how tall/wide)
