Here's something I've been working with for a while. It started out with the turret, which was a plasticard excercise, and mimics the shape of a Russian KV-2. In the making, I attached it to an old Predator chassis which I first squared off with some heavy-duty plasticard. It was too big to look good as a mobile turret, so I bolted it down and voila, the "Schwerer Siegfried" was born.

Fluffwise, it is a converted agricultural tractor, a weapon of necessity converted in a field workshop at the order of a Tank Commissar who found himself, well, tankless. Ruleswise, it is an undersized Leman Russ Conqueror.

The model is still a work in progress, it's missing sponson heavy bolters and a pintle-mounted heavy bolter in the turret, as well as the tank commander himself.

Enough talk, onwards for the pictures. Check here: http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery/Agamemnon203

Why not 'her'self as a Kommander instead?With a heavy Swedish accent and locks.
But eek....i would try a slightly more angled turret instead of a box like that.But for a makeshift farmer tank,i like it.Its funny looking

Sorry, my German is rusty.

Anyhow, I decided, after some consultation, to remove the ugly sponsons, fit a single hbolter and field it as a Medusa with an Armored Crew Compartment. It's just a bit too big a stretch to call it an MBT, wouldn't you agree?
