I am somewhat considering scratchbuilding a Warmonger titan in 40K scale (yes, I am serious)  This will not be quite as detailed as some of my other scratchbuilds, unless I have more time than I think.

 Anyway, I would need to build four hydra turrets for the top. What would be the easiest way to acomplish this, as this the hardest part to do.

Check out the IG forum on Work in Progress.  A lot of good resources for scratch building.  http://z11.invisionfree.com/Work_In_Progress/index.php?act=idx

After that, check out http://ultrawerke.blogspot.com/ for tips on how to cast your turret in resin, so you only have to build 1 instead of 4.

Damn, Ran beat me to it!  Work In Progress is definitely the best site out there for scratch building wargaming minis.  Hands down.

I did a few searches and got this link:
z11.invisionfree.com/Work_In_Progress/index.php

I'm pretty sure there was another thread with a nicer scratch build, and I know there is a card version someone did up, but I can't find the link to that yahoo group for card building 40k tanks.

Anyone have it?

if you look at some WWII AAmachean guns like the 50 calaber theres no need for such long barels (thow they do look cool) normal atocannons will do fine also i think that the heavy stubers look more like a AA gun.
