The monster isn't finished but I want to share it. As despite its massive physical size the price is a fraction of a FW titan. I seek to spread the knowledge of Massive Tanks and the Glory of the Omnissiah.


(Skitarii, Baneblade turrets and more not included. The Ball turrets and the Krupp Turret on top are included in the kit.... just not modified as in the pic. Not to mention the main guns are modded)

At Approx 20 inches long front to back, 9 Inches wide and Approx 3.5 inches to the lower deck and 7 inches tall includeing the base turret. It is a massive model. A 1/72 P-1000 Land Cruiser.
This beast is nearly as long as a FW Warlord titan is tall.


(Empty hull and turret compared to GW tanks/units)



Two Baneblades front to back are shorter than the monster. Depending on where you find it. I personally got it for about $110 with shipping and tax, which last I checked is less than a Baneblade fresh from the online store.
Hail the Omnissiah, a GIANT TANK BIGGER THAN A BANEBLADE AND CHEAPER (or about the same price) THAN ONE.



I wanted to share so those who want to build something like a Leviathan or some crazy big monster on tracks could without breaking the bank.

Be warned. The suspension is made up of countless individual pieces that all require assembly. Also the Tracks come in a bag, each and every one is a single track link by itself that snaps onto the next, but the tracks don't hold each other well, they are also made from a different plastic than the rest of the tank, so you will need Super Glue to hold the tracks together. The Rest of the tank will glue together just fine with plastic glue or whatever you want to use. Also, the box art has a hull cannon. Kit does not come with hull cannon. Nor the little Rocket tank (that's a separate 1/72 kit).

Last note. The real P-1000 would have had 2 main cannons to save weight, but the kit comes with FOUR cannons (and the mounting) while the turret has 3 mounting points. It also comes with armor plates to cover the turret holes (I think only two though) if you want to keep only two guns or have just one.
