Need to check my Dreamforge haul never realised the standard had raised surface looks cool anyway nice colour choice.

Those Dust tanks have tempted me I have to say but was not to sure of the scale, could I ask a favour if you don't mind mate

Would you take a pic with a mad robot mini next to the dust tank, I want to use my trench coat guys with it but have been concerned as to the scale match.

Only if you don't mind of course, what decals are you using for the stars ? Are they dust or an alternative make ?

Yeah, Dreamforge has the most awesome toys soldiers out on the market.

No problem, I will have some scales for the thing using my Mad Robot Weytani republic troopers with Dreamforge as well for scale shots!

I bought a couple of sheets of the Russian Airforce Insignia by Begemot, forgot the dealer I bought them from, but need to order more as I used up the smallest of the stars!


So, both tanks have alternate weapons, and are roughly 1/48th scale heavies. their mass can be seen here using Dreamforge Eisenkern/AgentG/Weytani trooper

That should do! Plenty of scale references as 2 of the men have 25mm bases, the gal is on Dreamforge 32mm base

Cheers Shas scale up nicely with MRM so that's cool, how easy would it be to alter the tracks to be covered do you think ?

I just want to sci-fi them up a little so was thinking of enclosing the track sections, do you think this is possible ?

I saw a conversion on here somewhere using Dreamforge bodies with scion heads, they looked totally awesome and could make some truly great scouts or even assassins

Covering the tracks will take a bit of plastic card shaping work to do, basically extending the hull "wings" to attach the side armor to cover the wheels. To go over more, would mean making front/back fender guards.

Hmmm, scion heads are far bigger than the eisenkern ones, GWs over sized everything bits

I saw the same conversions with the scion helmeted head and thought it looked fantastic. Not enough to make me buy GW stuff, but really nice.

Great work on the vehicles Shaso. Now I have to check to see how my zombicide stuff scales with the dust vehicles

I don't mind a little work got plenty of PC lying around so no problem there, just wondering if it might look a bit odd with it extending out to far.

Yes I know what you mean but they actually match up pretty well on this occasion, the thread is on here if I can find it I will post a link for you if you want.

That's why you probably seen it Theo LOL the guy has also altered some of the body armour a little but nothing major.

Oh I would do the out liers, then add sloped add ons to help flesh it out and make it look like a natural part of the design. I did look again, and yeah, those sealed heads may work after all.

Got my clear colors today!

and others

Damn, it's a crying shame I haven't stopped by more often... you've made some tremendous progress!

I love that camo scheme on all of your tanks, it's fantastic.

Your emplacement/turret is really cool.

That... is a lot of tanks! The Tank Police theme song keeps bouncing around in my head while I scroll past all of the sweet tanks!

Also I love Ash grey. I think that one and concrete grey have long been the wonder twin combination I call 'magic grey' which was my go-to two-step base-highlight grey combo for...ever. Ran out of those and switched to Minitaire because the whole set was fairly affordable, but anyway... it's a good shade of grey (and field grey is a nice alternative when you *don't* want to use the other two).

Yeah, I was wondering where all my usual suspects had been.

Ty it takes time to grow on you, my "Highland-Tundra Camo"

I need APCs for the Apocalypse level games, I was used to playing, get the troops across the field as fast as possible and intact as possible!

Ah, Tank Police! I ought to watch that again.

Yeah, I need to snap picks of the ruins I am working on, using stone gray and concrete gray as ai also like the color. I use a lot of interesting colors when the situation calls for it. I made the ruins "Blue tenement" and "Green Tenement" as the picks will show how that works.

Now with the clear colors, I can touch up some things.

Meanwhile fully decaled Warchimera APC #241 with the twin-linked heavy flamer turret

Love the mini tank feels like afrench ww2 tank for some reason but with a 40k kick, I have to agree on the plough it gives that APC a real menacing feel to it.

Never tried reaper paints but have heard good things.

As for the scion heads I a planing of using them with the Dreamforge bodies they looked just to damn cool not to.

It has a little French/Russian/my own design tossed in

I like them.

Sounds like a plan.


Now for the 3rd Warchimera APC with the Heavy Bolter turret (Decal issue was found and corrected)

Yeah, hard to find the 1/48scale BTRs out there to convert over.

Now for some Secret Weapon action! 6x6 with howitzer.

Great looking tanks. What did you think of the PW Brick? Did it go together well and was the casting pretty decent?

I have to say, the mol;ding was decent, and i could put the model together with the lowest amount of fuss, (I need a box of rubber bands to hold parts together while glue sets), some clean up was needed on some bricks and turrets than others, I have been pretty lucky so far with buying from PW so I might just get me some new Ursus aka "Bear" APCs once I can swing it. drill holes to set rivets and make them fit right in! One or two of the 6 bricks I bought had bubbles in the underbelly I could hide.

6 bricks? Wow.

Have you looked at this kit? http://bitspudlo.com/products/bathory-battle-tank-linebreaker

I have one but with the hover modules. I really like the style. I haven't built mine yet. But am really looking forward to painting it up.

Cool they added more to the APC chassis they made! you should paint it up, and display it!

So many cool shapes of tanks, you gotta play big games to use them all, it would be hard for me to leave some of those unique beasts on the bench.

I have plenty to chose from for 500pt to 5k pt games, and bigger!

Well, amongst the ruins of the Green and blue habs, the SdKfz-2509 "Hanomag" is on patrol!

Good stuff!

yeah only found them with kitech, though trumpeter do a 1/35 scale, no idea if thats any good.

I have to ad the yellow tips to the missiles, all the Bricks have details that need my brush work added since they have the decals and camo already handled

Hey Hey

Happy New Year.

I saw this in the wasteland and after killing everyone in the vicinity and clambering all over it to see if I could use it (or at the very least loot parts of it), I thought of you:


There's also a nice apc near to Sanctuary Hills.

Nice work, surprised you are getting anything done (I have done nothing except Fallout 4 since Christmas).

Guardsman 1: "I told you you were backing up too close to the building, but did you listen? No!"
Guardsman 2: "Well we are in a warzone so who will notice"

After more time, I have more images of the Taurus "Bricks"

Missile pod version! So much meaner looking than a Chimera!

And now for the pair with the gatling cannons! The soldier was for a scale to get a feel they are about Chimera sized beasts.

You are motoring through these bud, looking brilliant. Little details really picking them up nicely.
