The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Brand new bunker-chassis

Continuing onwards! I was having a fair bit of difficulty deciding what to do with this build until Kr00zA over at The-Waaagh.com's forums provided me with this suggestion in the form of an image:

I liked the 'rolling, armored bunker' appearance it gave off, and I sure as hell had no ideas, so I started building the general form of the tank's new body.

 

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.

We'll see what ideas strike while I build.
