daily4605 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 So this is my first time really doing any large scale conversions. I didn't like the exposed treads as I thought why have 1 of the more vulnerable parts of a tank exposed like that? Then the army I am working on is a Norse Mythology themed techno barbarian army. Since in Norse lore dwarfs were the master smiths of the Gods I found it fitting that they would be the tank builders/operators for my army. Other than that, used the hairspray technique and my airbrush to paint this guy up. Kind of happy with how the hairspray and salt turned out, some spots it is pretty meh, when I got the tank it was missing 1 of the turret parts so I decided instead of waiting to find a replacement I would make use of my dwarf cannons and used them with a sawed plastic bottle and AoS shield to make new side turrets. In the future I am planning on adding more of the blue to the tank. I think coming up from the side and over the top around the large shields would break up the white a bit. Then once I actually learn how to use it properly I want to add some weathering pigments to it as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hello there, I think that's pretty cool! Perhaps the squats could get a cool backstory and thus "make sense" in your army. Stay safe, don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daily4605 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I am using Norse mythology as my back story, So the dwarfs are basically my Ad-mech. I have already made Tyr, Thor, and Odin HQ models and have plans for several more. Like Ullr (bow God) as a vindicare assassin, Baldur as a Contemptor Dreadnought, and Loki as Cypher.

daily4605 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 His job is to keep people away from the tank as he is equipped with a flamer. Also he is sitting not standing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Why I love this tank and 40k in general: 1) Alright Smeggi, it's your job to guard the exposed fuel tanks on our armored behemoth. Here's your flamethrower. 2) Welcome to gunnery school cadets, today we'll be learning about the LX-9000. With 10.21 gigawatt pulses you'll have a range of about 400 meters and a firing rate of one shot per four seconds. Bertha here will punch through any armor short of Ceides class orbital lander prows. Any questions? Yes, you in the back...Yes, of course there's room in the turret for your battle-axe. Fantastic stuff and I can't wait to see more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Should leave one of the side doors open so you can show off how well the squats fit into those tiny rhino doors.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daily4605 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 If the gun turret was in the front I would of had a dwarf trooper running out the back. But how it is now I imagine a pair of smoldering boots as a dwarf ran out right into a blast from the side cannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
