Chassis and a plan
I assembled the general top chassis a little while ago after dremelling the wheels molded onto the interior sides.
This is an understandably early step to be posting stuff up about, but I want to make sure my foray into possibly mangling a baneblade is well-documented.
It seemed like with a general chassis to build upon, a proper plan was needed. This is the general concept I came up with:

The medicine bottle is there to stand in for a death roller. I'm really not sure what I want to do with the top aside from a really big gun, but a modified turret doesn't look so bad. The grot bomb launcher ramp is on the top of the baneblade, but I think it's probably a bad spot for it as it would block the gun's rotation... depends on how I end up building it, honestly, because I may be able to make it so the barrel is able to clear the ramp. Then again, the gun doesn't necessarily have to rotate, either. I want to cut boarding ramps into the side of the thing - I'm thinking maybe a pair on either side. I'd love to get some ideas on this.
