The Imperial Guard Tread-head thread

[modelmanjohn]

Thanks all, glad you like it though credit must go to penguin of death for the idea of the tracks, think its been on here before and works better with the new style turret,kinda why i had to rebuild the hull as didn't look right. Anyway this pic seemed to go down well on ammobunker and thought it would be relevant to this thread

My WIP pile of tanks from the other day, bit more progress has been made but no recent photos



btw SPG looks great Sovietred,
Matt 17, nice work on the hellhound, crisp painting
Panzerpilot, liking the camo on the panzer russ but does look like it needs more rivets or may be some more stowage

I said park on the LEFT, corporal!!

Things with tracks . . .

BOAR looks good once loaded. I am going to steal your idea for the tray sides.

[Tinners]

sup?




Only...lots more to go (50) For private use obviously.

[razormasticator]

Tinners your a mad man, but I dig it!

[Tinners]

Glad someone does!

[razormasticator]

Salamanders? or Centaurs?

[Tinners]

Salamander Scouts.

[razormasticator]

I like em. Very well executed. I thought they were salamanders, but wasnt sure.

[Tinners]

Cheers. Very simple models, I plan to cover them in lots and lots of camo netting

[Colonel Jacka]

Very nice scouts great work Tinners.

[SDKFZ]

Great casts, Tinners ! Awesome idea to include the top trackguard, me likes it.
Is the ragnarokturret in the back a cast one ?

/ SDKFZ

[Tinners]

Good eye. Yeh the turret is a cast aswell, I'm casting the tracks, turret, and mini turrets for the ragnaroks, because I'm lazy.

[Tinners]

Time to get riveting the hulls

[SDKFZ]

Now that will be alot of rivets, Mate !

Tanks looking ace with those new sides.

[Ash]

So now with Flyers all the rage it looks like Allies will be wanting more Hydras:

It's a start to go with my existing:





Maybe this next one will work out good.

[RaPaX]

Lot of inspiration on those hydras

My thoughts on the Medusa starting with my first:


Then the second:



Or is the Brummbar prefered?


It was lanquishing around the hobby store too long. A few more details and then some paint.

Thanks!
The turrets are based on the Monogram Wirbelwind kit. I had 2 spare LR executioner ACs so I thought they'd work for a Hydra.
