A Looted Baneblade / Hellhammer / Skullhamma

[Ein]

So, banging along today. Kr00zA over at The-Waaagh.com's forums helped me out a little bit...



And I liked the overall shape, so I've spent a little time working on it.









And one for fun:



It's going okay, I guess. I'm basically just following the drawing right now. I haven't built or closed off the sponsons largely because I am considering how to go about arming them - I know I'm probably just going to load them with Big Shootas, because pretty much every variant I could want this tank to be has some sort of guns somewhere on it, but the actual design of how I'm going to mount the weapons is something I have to think about some more. I could try copying the existing baneblade sponson design, or I could make a slit in the wall sort've like a bunker with barrels sticking out, I suppose. Not sure what the best plan of action is there.

I actually have a plan for the lowered area on the top of the tank's right side (where my styrene walls take a half-inch 'step' down) - I want to put a grot bomb launching ramp thereabouts, and at the end of it, below the rails and towards the front, I figure I can fit a turret with a kannon on it.



Could use some ideas.

Really liking the look of it! The death roller looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing it completed!

How about in that slot next to the huge cannon like a set of massive flood lights or wahtever they call them? just a set of 3x2 Leds or whatever you want to use and yeah, just to blind troops or show the way during tankshocks and that sort of thing.
Someone on the waaaaaaaaagh mentioned the rail looks wrong, I like the turret and the rail but I think to make one work just a little better remove the other such as lenghten the rail distance but lower the angle of the rails, even move that turret down below if possible to the blank spot.

I'll draw up an idea.



Maybe for the turret side parts where the sponsons? will go have a similar idea as the top, with just a make shift, orky barrier to hold the orks in as they zoom down the road with a big shoota here or there.

Y'know, I was browsing your site a week ago when I ran across the WIP page for this you were doing. I looked at it and thought to myself "Wow..that's awesome.." and now it pops up here, and I see you saying you're not really feeling it anymore....
You hafta finish it! You're almost making ME wanna go Ork!

Dang this makes me want to make an Orc army now. I wonder if in 5th ed if the orc will be as much fun as they were in 1st? I missed using grots as ammo and shooting them across the board and rocket guys just taking off at bizzare angles to blow up.

Ein, you are an inspiration. This is yet another great project that is coming together nicely, keep up the great work.

[Daston]

Your stuff is amazing dude I really wish I started orks just so I could do crazy stuff like this

[telius]

what about fusing the sponsons you got tin the banebeblade kit into the contraptions you have on the sides?(the kind of pilboxy thingies) replacing the standard imperial weapons with big shootas and zzappguns?

Ein plz get this finished it looks so cool already...
