Hello,
first: if my english is not correct forgive me because im from germany
i want to build an Imperial Artillerytank.
I Attached a Picture on this Picture you can see the Tank i want to build in the right down corner.

I would appreciate it if you Guys could help me and say me how i could build it and what Materials i could use for it.
The Buildings on its Sides are buyable but how could i build the Chassis and the Gun?!

Presuming those are people to the left of the 'tank', and some sort of chimera/Russ variant on the right, that is a huge vehicle, larger than a Baneblade. You could use one of the Imperial superheavies at http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Guard/Imperial_Guard_Super_Heavy_Tanks?filter_reset=1 as a base for the conversion, but they'd be horribly expensive, so I'd recommend using one of the Baneblade variants instead and not worrying about the size. Or if you're really poor, look in local toy stores for a toy tank of the right size.

As the tank is in cover behind a wrecked building, you can't see much of it. Seems to have some sort of auto-loading mechanism? Makes sense considering how huge and heavy the shells must be.

Will it be just a display model, or do you want to play games with it? Definitely worth looking in the Apocalypse rulebook for some existing vehicle your vehicle can count-as.

Buy this kit:

Do not assemble the crew or the machines behind the gun, which are for loading the shell.

Attach the gun facing the opposite way to the picture. The driving station of the tank is at the back in the original vehicle. You probably want it at the front.

Use plastic card to make a rear body of the tank. Some rivets will make it look Imperial.

If you want the tank to be wider, it should be possible to cut the hull down the middle line and use plastic card to make it wider.

@clang: Are the buildings on its side always attached to it or is it just temporary?
and yes i want to play with it

@Kilkrazy thx for the Link
what do you mean with plastic card?

Plasticard is polystyrene in sheets of various thicknes (i think from 0.3mm to 1.5mm).
