Title: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: Grand Master Steve on March 22, 2009, 09:45:03 PM: Im about done making my world eaters apocolyps worthy point wise (barely) I was thinking of making one of the two super heavy tanks since i recently have obtained a spare shadow sword chasie. any ides which Super heavy I should make? (i know one is only seen on GW's web site under the apoc. Data Sheets.) And what bits should I use to create such a thing Inspiration just isnt hitting me.

Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: Grand Master Steve on March 27, 2009, 12:00:53 AM: I was thinking of that, but i have no idea how to model one.
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: the_trooper on March 27, 2009, 09:00:57 AM: Baneblade chassis- the wheels / fenders on both sides. The wheel / fender sides are the first things GW has you build up, you know, the sides where the sponsons go and that are eventually joined by the large bottom midsection.

Figure out how big you need the mortars to be and hen build the middle to fit. You get to keep lots of good bits too :P.

I thought of using 4 basilisk platforms build up, and then linked up on a single platform would be the way to go. You could cut the barrels to make them more mortar like. You could have them a little offset with the wheel sides by having them mounted a little lower like the front portion of the shadowsword to give it more depth. Have a bunch of mutants / traitor guard manning the guns / loading the guns and have a berserker with a whip in the back. = profit.

It's only Str 7 AP 4 Apoc (4) but it is super stying. It is daemonic which helps a lot to keep it firing.

Post by: Grand Master Steve on March 27, 2009, 01:59:27 PM: This is true. I have a spare Shadow Sword chasie to work with. But buying that many basies will be costly.
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: the_trooper on March 27, 2009, 02:44:20 PM: BG has a 3 bassie box in there on the shelf ;).
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: Ian Mulligan on March 27, 2009, 02:55:57 PM: I have three bassies I'd love to trade
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: Grand Master Steve on March 27, 2009, 09:20:28 PM: Rich- I cant afford 3 Basies like that thus my original comment.

Ian- Perhaps we can talk trades.

Even with those earth shakers im having a hard time envisioning what the final tank would look like. while having a tourtured crew sounds interesting its not blood for the blood god, they arnt dying! The rules say the tank has Deamonic posession so modeling a mortal crew manning the guns would also not work there.
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: the_trooper on March 28, 2009, 01:03:01 AM: Bloodletters manning the guns. You could have the loader killing the guy firing. ;D I'll be at BG and maybe I can draw up what I mean. Although, I wonder if there is an epic model that has done this in the past you can look toward?

Also, if you are still undecided, this is another that looks pretty rad and would be super effective. A bit more ambitious but it's even cooler and would help stand against titans.:

You could use the tank as a base and lots of plasticard to build it up. All the extra gun bits to build up the guns and such.

I could probably pull 10,000 right now. I might have my guard at a good start by the time we set it up, so more.

Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: Grand Master Steve on April 09, 2009, 03:06:59 PM: I found pics of Epic Doom Blasters. It looks like a bane blade chasie with 4 basie guns, in rows of 2 by 2 and the frount of the tank had a giant skull on it to represent deamonic possession.
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: the_trooper on April 10, 2009, 12:31:48 AM: That sounds about right to me. Maybe a less exaggerated skull as that might be a bit goofy. There are other ways to represent possession.

You know, I was thinking about the lord of battles again... maybe before the year is out I'll actually do it...
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: jesterofthedark on April 10, 2009, 02:00:49 AM: What do you mean stompas won't cut it against the titans. I beg to differ, you have yet to see the awesome might of my 8 str D attacks.

Because I can't throttle people at work, I will throttle you next time I see you. :P

A description of the problem may help. I posted my WIP deathguard and Ogres on there with little to no issue. Just create an account and upload them as you go; although I suspect size of image might be an issue. I also presume you are using .jpg format for the images?
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: Jonathan on April 29, 2009, 01:20:28 PM: Could also try flickr or photobucket. I'm told both are easy to use. Haven't tried them myself because I just put it all on Facebook or my blog (several hundred gigs of disk space).
Title: Re: Making a Khornate super heavy
Post by: Rob S on April 29, 2009, 03:51:09 PM: Use imageshack.us

You don't need to create an account. Should be easier for you.
