imperial miscellany

[nitromors]

Your wish is my command :-)

Here is one of my 'counts as' Leman Russ tanks which has been base coated



here is one of the available barrels



and the mortar barrel







The turret is from Anarchy models.

[Mr joeingtons]

Lovely, isn't that a French ww2 tank as a base? Post it onthe thread head thread please , if you want to check out where the turrets are from please check out tinners last log, think he got commissioned to do them for anarchy

There's a treadhead thread!?! Point me in the right direction and I certainly will :-)

Not sure on the base as I got them in a job lot on ebay but sounds very likely. I saw Tinners log - WOW!

Next up the troop transports

[nitromors]

This is the transport for my troops its made by a Polish company called Warchimera. They're nice tanks but take A LOT of cleaning up and prep work but I think they're worth it.





Rear exit doors and artillery tow hook



The plow, also handy extra armour. You may notice that there is no secondary armament this is because of the extra thick armour plating on the front for assaults (and not finding a suitable fitting :-/)



Autogun



Lascannon




Heavy bolter



Heavy flamer

all weapons and turrets magnetised.

Who would you like to see next?
Techpriest and servitors, Ogryn sergeants, snipers, unpainted armoured cavalry, mechanised cavalry (work in progress), trench engineers(unpainted) or platoon command squad #1?

[Astor]

Some very impressive tanks there, Nitro!

As for the base of your counts as Leman Russ -

It looks like it's mainly a hodge-podge of various British Marks, particularly the Mark VIII, which never saw active service, going on to be used in the United States until 1932 - the tank from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was based on this, with an added turret, too - in fact, Nitro, your tank bears a striking resemblance to that vehicle.

I may well be wrong, of course, but keep up the good work!

You sir are a gentleman that threads like Christmas.

Haven't decided yet but thats their base colour. Probably go for battleship grey the Hansa Teutonica are a very practical bunch and grey paint is cheap in their part of the galaxy!
