Got bored and started tinkering with some jezzail ideas.
Turns out that a tau pulse carbine provides a stock, foregrip and a sight for the gun
All that was left was a section of small tubing to make the barrel and a end cap from a spear as the muzzle and i now have a fully functioning jezzail lol.

Pulse carbine - £0.20
2 clanrats - £1
20mm x 50mm base - £0.30
Tubing - £0 i have tons of it.

Total cost of £1.50 per jezzail team, just under £10 less than GW's and i can pose mine how i want
Ill get a few pics up later on and then i can start working with more ideas and perfecting it a bit, becuse the rifle still looks a little off to me.

Cool, thats the spirit! Look forward to those pics!

Wow, i pay a little less attention and all of a sudden the League has its own tank. Will it be a battalion?

Howz the inquisitor doing? He done yet?

That's. A. maze. ING!

Rivet-Turtle of Doom is looking awesome Vik! One of your finest works to date!

It is quite the tanky work of art. Now make an emperors tank fist formation of them. (10 tanks )

Looking back at the images, this one in particular


And comradepanda's idea of more tanks, gave me the idea you should make a inquisitor force robot , this one can form the head. It has two eyes and the mouth is the loading door .

You could build the other vehicles o merge together to form an Emperor class Titan.

Riveticons, transform and roll out!

Wow... Autobolts will be cross.

You guys are so weird...and in a way so close to the truth it is most shocking...I am atm planning to do a walker like "structure"...I still think about using my he-man toy horse...but that is currently looking quite rubbish and ill probably will start a complete scratch build soon...

The banner is still on my desk, it needs multiple coats of paint which currently keeps me from actually starting something new...

Oh and graven...got your pm...but I am currently puzzled by its contens...

@ Vik
Mate, I salute your work here! It's a great example of fine scratch building and neat riveting Personally I'm not a big fan of red as a main colour but that's a matter of taste.

@Theo
My twisted friend... I like where your thought's going




Jokes aside I can clearly see something like this:

Hey storag, well...red is still my main army color, red coats all the way so to speak...so not much choice there for me...

As for that Metzger model...it is quite frightening how close you already are to my own vision...omg

That looks positively amazing vik. On a rivet scale of 1-10 its a solid 11 as for the colours red and black is never un-cool.

i fear i call it finished for now... it will for now stay a red goldish and silver turtle^^...

i finished the banner on top of the turret but haven´t taken pics of it yet...


besides... i will join skalks terrain comp... it starts soon... so i need a clean desk^^

Loks great Vik but needs a SRIMECH...

er....i did a google search... but what is SRIMECH?...

and thanks mate!!!

SRIMECH = Self RIghting MECHanism

http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Self-righting_mechanism

I fear that a strong side on ramming attack (or gust of wind) may well end with the tank rolling overlike a drunk turtle, an effective SRIMECH would enable the tank to self right

After I posted my last comment I have found the same page explaining the term...you are right of course... Next tank will be more realistic

Realism is for schmucks
Drive me closer so I can hit it with my sword!

The tank looks superb Vik , it looks like it has some real weight to it . its a fitting vehicle for her magesty's riveteers

Vik, check these little guys out..

I can see them riding the Turtle Tank and Airship...

OMG! I NEED those!
I'm not sure that a Kickstarter this close to Christmas was the best idea though....

btw Vik...did you know that you are one of the top 50 Dakka posters?

Oh ruglud...how could you tempt me with such sweet stuff...

At Dave...am I? Where would I get this kind of info from?

It's probably one of those dcm perks, they get all the cool bonuses.

You're not a DCM anymore Vik? t's in the DCM forums

You probably can't read it if you aren't.

Yup, can't read currently...

Well done Vik even if you cant see that you are

I was going to mention those dwarfs to you myself check out the Thugs set

Nice idea to use them as a crew for your tank that would look awesome mate

I just realised I had not commented on here for a while ( hangs head in shame ) but everyone else seems to beat me to it.

I like the colour scheme you chose very regal and the smoke stacks really complete the look

Her royal majesty's secret service. So secret that hey must be under 4' tall in order to hide better plus a bolo hat gives +1 to save.

at LDD... i saw the bunch of minis... one actually had a set of spiked knuckledusters....wow...grim dark victorian with a new edge^^

and yep... bowler hads are a mean bread for where hats are concerned...

Yes bad ass dwarf Victorian brawlers what ever next
