Well I finally have the Nova Cannon and Tank Reactor in production. Check them out!

I also have these new parts bundled with my Tank Combo Pack along with a set of Tank Dynamos replacing the Fuel Tanks. I call it the "Nuclear! Tank Combo Pack"

Once I get some cash freed up in the budget, I am definitely going to order these!

I've always wanted a Stormblade, but I never wanted to deal with an all Forge World resin super-heavy!

These are very nice components indeed!

Just kidding, it looks AWESOME! Lovely tanks, can't wait to see more.

Oh that is coming. A project languishing in the darkness is about to rise....

Hurricane pattern plasma guns. Do it NAO.

With the upcoming Feast of Blade tournament I was asked if I could once again supply a prize and of course I said yes. It's not often I get to build up something cool for a good cause. But what to build?

Well a Fellblade naturally, but not just any Fellblade. It was time to introduce something new. So without further ado, here it is:











Mystery solved! And yes, the Ghostbuster's proton pack actually was in inspiration







So as you can see the Tank Engine 2 (plasma engine) and Nova Cannon (plasma cannon) will soon be new entries into my store. They still need a few tweaks before production but both should be available by the end of the month.

Of course with the release of these components I can perhaps restart a old neglected project just in time for the release of their long awaited codex....

so Mankind did indeed developed Plasma technology to its peak. Tell me about the main Plasma cannon please

As most of you know now Games Workshop and Forge World have released official rules for the Space Marine Fellblade super-heavy tank in the Horus Heresy: Betrayal book. The Fellblade is now canon and it puts the rules and history of my "Fellblades" into a lurch. So time for something new....

After much thought I've decided that the best way for me to proceed would be to throw out the “Fellblade” name and stick with what I original envisioned my super-heavy to be, a predecessor to the Baneblade. They will still go by their variant names but all can be traced back to an original chassis now called the Glaive. The modified rules and histories will predate the introduction of the official Fellblade into the 40K universe and will also explains why it replaced them and why some are still around today.

So I give you my "re-envisioned" rules for the Glaive super-heavy tank and its variants:

The Glaive:

The Broadsword:

The Ignitus:

The Lance:

Feedback and criticism is very much welcomed. I would very much like to hear what you like, don't like, and what needs to be fixed.

Also, if any of you have pics or names of your Glaives or Glaive variants that you’d like incorporated into these datasheets please let me know. This is very much a community project now.

Thanks everyone!

Very nice, and I'm especially loving the Warmaul and the Lance!

Your tanks have way more going for them then the GW/FW ones do.

On a crazy thought - I'd love to see a Hover variant.
After a quick google I think something like this:

Would be good inspiration for such a beast. (Slightly sleeker as it were, wider, flatter turret... it'd need some sort of 2-3 point large 'hover base')

(Of course if someone would make something like this:

I'd buy a set

not sure it'd fit into the style/background of space marines, but very nice idea for a tank!

The top one would I think, as a rare / special thing

The second one... who cares / says it's for marines

Machinator, I need help with the tracks. How do I use all the pieces? And do I have enough in the Tank Combo pack to wrap them around the front as you have on yours?

Yep there's more then plenty there to do the ones like mine.

Bascially the two long sections go on the bottom. The four 4-link pieces are used to go from the bottom set of tracks up to the idler and drive wheels and also along the top from the idler and drive wheels. The individual ones are used around the idler and drive wheels and as needed between the sections for added length. It's a but of a tricky process so take it slow.

Good luck!

Ok, thanks for the fast response! I have my hull together and will be working on the sponsons and magnetisation next.

SickSix: Feel free to post pics here when you get it done!

Agreed! I would love to see some pics!

I have 2 videos up on my YouTube channel (see link in sig) showing my build process so far. I have more footage that I will get edited and posted this week as well.

So you do! I also enjoyed the rivets video. Was thinking of picking some of them up after seeing what they can do and I think you just convinced me!

The plasma tank is very good, looking forward to get mine soon next year

Greetings all, it's been a long time since I've posted on this thread but I have some wonders to show you

As many of you know I started a flamethrower/thermal cannon around the same time as my Nova Cannon but it sadly fell to the wayside as I wasn't liking how it turned out. But after some revisions it has now emerged like a gun toting phoenix of doom!







And what giant flamethrower/thermal cannon is complete without a huge fuel tank?






The very first of these I hope to have at the Big Game III in Memphis next weekend with the offical release soon after. These pieces will be quite handy for those looking to build a Ignitus super heavy....

Wow, your modelling skills never cease to amaze
as always, keep it up!

I need one of them! Looks vaguely like a small piece of 40k artwork I was trying to reproduce, this saves me a lot of time.

Will you be selling the Fuel tanks on their own ? Just they might want to use them for my generator terrain ?

Also can I ask where you get your rivets and nuts from (the brown ones) if you don't mind sharing

Yep, I probably sell these as a one and two pack just like my Tank Dynos. They'll go up in my store after next weekend.

I get the rivets and bolts from a company called Tichy Train Group. I highly recommend them

Thanks will keep watch then thanks for the info as well thought they might have been from there

The world wide Big Game III is happening this weekend and I was asked to provide some prizes for the main game occurring in Memphis, Tennessee. Eager to show off my new parts I built a nice little tank as a giveaway.

Behold! The Ignitus tank!















The main weapon has a swappable flamethrower and thermal cannon piece held in place by magnets that allows you to switch barrels out very easily.





So if anyone is going to be at the Memphis event I’ll see you there!

oooo, I love those. Makes me very tempted to see if some of these guns and the smaller turrets would fit on my Chimera chassis Russ variants to make them look a bit "older" design.

I take it the sponson turrets are the small ones and about Chimera turret sized so the medium turrets would be suitable for a Russ?

holy shet man how many do you plan on building, i seriously do not wanna meet you any time soon
but seriously them tanks are just something else, good job on them

This has nothing to do with tanks but is another prize for the Big Game III I thought you guys would like to see. It's three of my Thunder Assault Speeders with space marines mounted on Dragon Forge's 40 mm x 75 mm Ancient Ruins base. And yes, I know the right shoulder pad is missing. That's so the winner can customize it to their chapter if they wish
