Any news on when this will go from preorder to available?

Not sure on the switch from pre order to Available.

Same for me. Ill probably have to grab one to add to my gaming scale armor collection. No actual game use for it at this time, but I do like it very much.

Thanks, looks like mine is in the mail too!

got mine today, the parts don't quite all fit out of the box but nothing a little trimming won't fix

Take some pics when you can, please!

Especially of the 'going together' process!

That thing is awesome. Excellent for any scifi war-game. Gonna fit in perfect with my tomorrows war and infinity collection!

Ask and you shall receive!

Hot damn. I need that.

What bits do you think they will make available to put on the front end? I read somewhere that they where going to do something with options. Maybe from their own forum. I think I remember seeing concept art with a different looking front end. Maybe I'll magnitise the front in case they do put something out.

They really should have put the sprue on the underside of the tire replicating the tread pattern is gonna be a bear.

Edit: Just took the plunge and pre-ordered 3 to use as Baal Predators. Looks fantastic, and I've been craving an alternate, non-rhino-chassis based model to use for those! I think it will work perfectly . One of those turrets looks very similar to the flamestorm cannon.

Is it possible that just the turret weapons could be offered separately? I.e., the 5 turret weapons together for $9.99, or the like. Right now the only way to get more is to order a whole turret with just 1 weapon option for $14.99.

@ sonofruss: Isn't that just the choice of the person who assemblies it? (I.e. you can rotate that part to be the bottom of the wheel?) Or maybe it's all one piece, in which case that's a good point...

Looks like the tire is flattened to simulate weight, making the location of the sprue pretty much fixed.

That thing's awesome!

Yes the tires are Fixed in one position. 3 to a side already molded to the part that mounts them to the lower hull
The flash gate on the front end of the lower hull and the tires are very odd choices for them.

Yeah, that's a bummer... still very excited about this tank, though

Got these today! They look Really great, imo, the aforementioned gate positioning on the front of a wheel's tread aside.

Just bought 2 hulls, cant wait to fit these with my Elysians, Hellhounds here we come!

I'll post pics later today with the turret and high-velocity cannon on a Predator tank. Just takes a few sprue bits to be glued onto the bottom of the turret for it to fit in the hole on the Predator but it looks AWESOME!

Wow, so much for backlogged orders, just got the confirmation that its been shipped. Very impressed

Turret with HV Cannon on a Predator. All you need to do is glue some sprue clippings onto the bottom so it stays put on top. I personally LOVE it!

That looks amazing!

If anyone would take a pic of it on top of a chimera, I would be very grateful (and possibly very poor)

Mine arrived this week - had a few bubbles on the front of the chassis that I'll need to fill in to make the headlights and front grill look right, but overall it looks fantastic. Will be using it as a hellhound/devil dog/banewolf in my new guard army but am tempted to paint it in a way that it could also serve as a turret for my predators having seen the above - that looks awesome!

When we do an APC you'll know because it would actually *FIT 10 TROOP MODELS* and won't make you laugh about how they all got in there.

It's nice to see everyone so excited by this and it certainly helps motivate me to see it finished!

Quoting from way back in history. I love your vehicles (I especially like how yours has hatches and stuff, "SciFi Tank" at 28mm-ish scale seems to so often mean "Massive flat expanse of resin") and I like the idea of an APC, but please remember that most people will be using it in 40k, as a Chimera.

As a bit of a tread-head myself I know that GW's sizing of their APCs is annoying, but please at least try to keep the dimensions in the same ballpark (and minimize the in-game cost of your customers using your stuff).

As I said, I'm just amazed by your work. This was me when I saw it:
