Its not much now, just a basic skeleton, but i think its coming along nicely considering i just started.

Awesome, looks to be a good start there. It looks like its going to be huge! I love your use of the CoD building tiles as armor for the treads. What do you plan on using for the treads? With a baneblade, a Lord of Khorne, and a Tower of Nurgle, you really seem to be gearing up for Apocolypse. Theres going to be some crazy mega-battles going on with your conversions and scratch-builds on the tables! Keep on keepin on, I want more pics soon!

Thats what i can't seem to figure out, what to use as the treads. Also, I need a turret similar to the one on the Storm blade:

Can't seem to find something of that shape.

Go to your local model car store. They have tank treads in all sizes...As for the turret, get two ribbed pipes from a hardware store, and have something flat go down the middle. It should bridge nicely. As for Cardboard, you seriously might want to look into getting some plasticard. MUCH more sturdier, looks smoother, and is amazing for adding little nit picky little tank things...

I made the gun out of some old dried up markers and landspeeder parts.{goofy}
Hey, you can call me crazy but it works none the less.

Darn its anoying searching around the house to find something for the treads... had something that would have been perfect a while ago but threw it out cuase i thought it was junk.

The only thing I have against it is that its too short... just doesn't look very big at all... good luck.

Koss · August 11th, 2007, 16:11

Its as big as 4 landraiders put next to each other in a square, how is it not big enough?!

its about a square foot!

You are crazy.
I thought I was, but you make me seem like Mr. Mentalhealth. For this I thank you

I really like your use of the COD-tiles, it makes the tank look really archane and impressive. A couple of things I'd like to point at though, first is the turret. I think it should be a fair bit wider, it should reach half the tracks in width. And then it's the front.
One of the characteristic-look-things with the Stormblade in the pic is how the front goes in quite a bit, and how the tracks start descending a fair bit from the edge.
You could of course make a different pattern Stormblade and just say "Ha!" but if you want it to look like the FW-one I think you should make some adjustments.

Other than that...Impressive mr "my life was stolen by midgets", impressive.

*looks at WIP Exterminator and sighs*
...size doesn't matter, or so they say...
*sigh*

TADA!!!

I really think you should invest in some plasticard, its not too expensive and the different thicknesses it comes it will be a great help in building up the armor plates on the side. I Card board is too flimsy and weak IMO. When building my thunderhawk I found plasticard to be indespensible and it is a lot easier to bond plastic gw bits to plasticard than card bpard. Good look! I will be watching with interest.
