Alright, this is really just meant as an open-door place for all things Imperial and Armored. Show off your paint, your conversions, your projects.

It was my impromptu home over on Warseer, before people started having problems. Always was a great thread for inspiration and discussion on things. I'd be stunned if there weren't a couple of Treadheads over here who might have been there.

Gonna open up with a few of my own beats of armored delivery of death.

In progress, waiting for camo - my Armageddon Basilisk, with a new metal gun barrel, from a 1/35 scale ISU-152.





Mortian Heavy Tank, sporting a couple of modified weapon options.

First up, the Annihilator mounting, sporting two of my own Tiger Pattern Long Gun Barrels.




Second, with a 1/35 scale M-61 Vulcan gun for the Punisher variation.





Ratgard Owl SPG, Mortar mounting, refitted with a cut-down 1/35 scale D-30 Russian Howitzer gun for my Griffon variant, still WIP.





This beast is only known as Bertha.. Skoda 42cm Howitzer conversion to field as either a Colossus or Medusa, or other seriously big artillery piece. I'm unsure about the back extension lately, I might splice extra track unit length on to give it a reach. Sitting in front of that is the dozerblade that has been expanded to serve as recoil spade for the BFG.





Another Chimera mod, this one's going to serve as my Wyvern option, built using the pieces from a 1/35 Stuka Zu Fuss to give it the rocket artillery look.





Swingback style Chimera/Russ Exterminator conversion.





I can't take credit for the build, this behemoth was done by Machinator, master of Blood and Skulls Industry, as a commission piece, my Jagdsword.





My first Superheavy, a Macharius Vanquisher, codenamed Overlord.





A little more help from Blood and Skulls, this one's my Vanquisher design. Land Raider tracks, all I had to do was cut off part of the track fitting guides on the track units and they fit on smoothly.





That would be a large representation from my Guard fleet.. love to see the works of other treadheads, always good to see some inspiration from Other sources that might bring me to new ideas and new heights. So come, bring your tanks, and let us share the armored glory!

I'm slowly working my way through this pile 'o tanks.
There's still a lot to do and as soon as I finish something I tend to add another couple.
It's a disease.....

My Exterminator called Nightmare



Command Vanquisher called Wingthor's Hammer. (Tank Commander is named Irwen Wingthor)




Sentinel converted as Battlemech


Tauros Assault vehicle


I also have an Executioner under construction. It's called Thunderfury.

Nice work guys, keep up the showing stuff, I miss my treadheads.

Alex, it's a disease, but one we suffer rather gladly, right? I've got a pair of Russ Incinerators I'll be working on eventually, and a whole tank company I bought off a buddy.

Hawky, that's some serious mud and grime on them, Heavy duty indeed. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Was a running joke amongst us, "A Guard Army is Never Done"

Russ Incinerator is really cool thing. I'd use one as count-as for Executioner, if they weren't so expensive. I hate when tanks looks like the rolled out of production-line 15 seconds ago. Mud, dust/snow, scrapes and/or minor battle damage is present almost at everything I made.

I hope this thread-head will survive. But here od Dakka I've never seen any long-living one, opposite to Warseer and it's 500+ pages of Guard thread-head.

Yeah, I've got two of the turrets, gonna probably convert a couple of standard hulls over from my imported tank company, as I only have the one Mars Alpha hull. I might field them as Executioners, though I already have one (which serves two wonderful purposes on the field, either as a fire magnet, or a sudden-devastating-shock weapon, which tends to lead back to it becoming a fire magnet..) in my force.

I've not been massively active on Dakka, so I don't know. I think part of what gave it such longevity on Warseer would be the fact they got big enough to be worthy of a sticky.

Seriously, no other Guard players wanna roll in on this? Show us what you've got, people, inspire and enjoy!

I'll add some of my Navy assets... First and only flier I have. But Vulture Gunship/Valkyrie is on the list to buy.


Avenger Strike Fighter no: 144 of 1st CAS Sq. in snow camo piloted by F/L Rohan + CO: Wade as a rear gunner.

Nice work, the camo is smooth, the markings crisp, and I love the little railway signal on the base for some added visuals.
