Alright so my Praetorian army is almost finished and i want something to add more to its wow factor. So i remember years ago that my friend made a leman russ that could fit a command squad on the top like a mini moving bunker. I thought it would be pretty cool to make a huge moving open topped fortress. Im hoping to have many gun implacements, multiple levels and the ability to put 35 men on there. I had a look and maybe im just searching wrong but I only found a couple of things that are similar to what i kinda want.

So does anyone know of any kits that could be the basis of a design?

Does any one have anything similar?

Cheers thanks for the help.

Here's an idea, to start your inspiration:



FW CRASSUIS ASSAULT ARMOURED TRANSPORT!!!

Now to find a way to make it open-topped

Hope this helps

Definately a cool tank, im trying to find a way to describe what im after. Maybe a seige modern day seige tower gun platform/transport? But IG looking...

If this is big enough i could use it as a base. I was also thinking of using a the biggest super heavy as a base.

Also then this could help also:



FW, Gorgon.

Hope this helps as well, I also know a few people make a load shrines of Aquila/Bastion kits in a large rectangle shape then put a big cannon on the front and put it on baneblade treads as well if that helps too

Hmmm maybe i can get 2 gorgons put them together and build it up with the shrines of aquila i just googled and build it up. Might be cheaper to get 2 landraiders and merge them with the fortress on top. thanks for the help by the way

No problem, just send pics and make a P&M Blog so we all can see what it will look like

I plan to start it in march once my current project is done. I will start my own thread for my projects when no.1 is done. Cheers dude.

Awesome , and no problem

A way smaller version of this concept. Thats kind of what im after.

Normally its known as a Leviathan but it appears Capitol Imperialis works too.

I just found it, awesome. turns out there are models for it so i can start to copy it etc. Thanks for the help. Case Closed

Baneblade based Leviathan. transpo capacity of 50, give it the Macro cannon on front and Baneblade cannon up top. I've built one, see it in my gallery. A Capitalis Imperialis is much larger and transports 100, with bigger guns and stuff. Anyway ,good luck.

Awesome ill check it out now.
