I like these I'm not sure if I need any more tanks though but I could certainly use a few turrets to swap onto my exising tanks.

When will these be likely to appear in the online store?

Well, it depends on when I finish up the casting for the kickstarter. I will obviously fulfill all the rewards before I offer any of the parts for sale though my shop. If I get alot of requests for the turret I will add it to the rewards on the project.

The last Kickstarter took about 13 weeks to send out,plus the 2 weeks of the actual project, so I would estimate the same or less time for this one I guess.

An excellent option for Renegade Imperial Guard or Looted ork tanks.

You may wish to add this to your 1st post as well, so people can find it more easily.

I like the hull, but the turret is way too tall, imo! Any way to make a slimmer version?

Edit: Also, the pics and link got caught by the page rollover, so here's the link to what we're talking about:

Love the apc, but the turret is just too big.. it fits your other models just fine in terms of style.. but sorry :(
Would love to support you on this one as well.

Agree that the turret is too tall, it would suit a much larger tank hint hint As you have plenty of other great turrets in your store, any chance of you offering one or more of those an alternative for the KS?

I don't think the turret is too tall, it's that it isn't flush to the body and the raised 'neck' of it makes it look a bit off.

I also want to remind everyone of the KV2... that is all.

I love it, it's something that would fit right into metal slug

Im happy to swap out parts from the range. I will also be making and supplying a lower fitting for the turret.

Yes for people who's only knowledge of tanks is a GW Lemon Rusk, these things do have a precedent in real life



Really like the look of these, think they would fit well with the Mantic Forge Fathers (in the same way a lot of the other Ramshackle vehicles do).

Re: KV2, it didn't feature the turret on such a large, raised turret ring though, the Ramshackle tank has got too much of a shot trap going on there.

I think the large turret is fun. I get the impression these tanks are supposed to have more punch than intended. I.e "Nice tank, how big a gun can we mount on it?"
I'd also like to see a larger Ramshackle tank modelled which the turret looks designed for.
Personally I like the laz-cannon out of the current options. A tesla-coil would be cool though.

I dont know how the turret ended up so big! BUt yes, the shot trap on the ring will be addressed. I should make a bigger tank as well, but this will take a while!

Yeah, that's my take, too. Glad you'll be offering a lower fitting and/or are willing to swap out the turret for an existing one from your range (pics of them on the tank chassis would be really helpful in that regard).

Well, I got double the funding goal on day one, and cracked both the "stretch goals" within a few days, so I have been workingon the extra pieces. I have done the sponsons, so all the tanks will ship with 2 of them. See how they are designed to cover the door on the tracks? Here is a look at them:

I actually like the super oversized turret. I think it's cute, like the tanks in the Advance Wars line of video games. A friend of mine got a bunch of your miniatures late last year and we're just finishing up painting our respective Reaper bones dump and after that post apocalyptic in 28mm is what we're going to get into.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better.

I've put a pledge in. First Ramshackle buy although I have been tempted previously. Nothing to do with Orks coming out soon at all!

Like others, I'm not a complete fan of the huge turret as it looks at present but there'll be plenty of opportunity to mix and match bits around with various projects.

I think the sponsons make the turret a little less noticeable. Looking forward to the extra armour when it's ready.

So.. I recceived my Rhebok (long version with the bulldozer) a few days ago and I must admit... wow!
There ARE bubbles, some warping and not all pieces allign perfectly. Especially the rivets were victims of bubbles on a couple of pieces. The bottoms of some parts HAVE to be grinded down a bit. But it took me not longer than ~two hours to get the model to the stage you can see on the pictures.

But! It's still a lovely model with LOADS of additional pieces. I think you get like 8 Weapons for the turret, 5 weapons for the sponson and a dozend or so pieces like cannisters and boxes.
I've only primed it white so you can see all the little detail.
The broken piece on the Bulldozer ... yeah, I dropped the model ;( The material is a bit brittle, so take good care of yours.


That looks brilliant. But I have to admit, if a model will take two hours of grinding and filing and fething and faffing about to get it assembled, I'm just never going to bother. Which is a huge shame, because like I said - it looks brilliant.

Two hours also because it's quite a massive models with LOADS of optional and additional pieces. It's also been primed. So you might remove another 15 minutes.

It's possible to clean, prep and build the Rhebok in an hour I'd say.

I still have not found the time to paint it though :(

I have some more images ot show of the bits Im doing. Some are for the stretch goals and some are based on feedback from backers and on forums.

Backers will be able to choose either the spaced armour or two sponsons on each model.

I also lowered the turret a bit with a new fitting.

There is a ballistic shield for the gunner on the Pug now too.

The images also show rulers for size reference.
