Unit Preview - Baneblade Super-Heavy Tank

[muffins]

This has been a work of love

I've finished the model and I'm about to insert the skeleton

On this unit every turret will move, every hatch will open (ie - for the death or fidget animation), the battle-cannons will have recoil and the track will have suspension at each wheel which will make the run animations and recoil 'rock-backs' look seriously cool

I need help though. The variants of the Baneblade will be dead easy to create but I don't know what their weapons on the side turrets and sponsoons are

If someone wants a Baneblade variant created then post a few pics so that I can model from them ... pleeeese

And thanks to Kal-el for posting Baneblade pics in my Leman Russ preview thread - I used them to create the model below

That is awesome! I cant wait to see what you come up with for the animations!

That unit would look really cool if it was colored red and black I'd imagine.

DUDE! AWESOME!

Too bad I know nothing about warhammer, or I'd help with the mod you are making.

How big is this Tank in game? I've been itching to play with a Tank that could also be catagorized as a mobile fortress on trends....

In Warhammer 40k they weigh a thousand tonnes each

I'll have to experiment with in-game sizes. It'll be larger than any 'normal' sized tank but I don't want it to overly dominate. I've also have to keep it smaller than my Titans or it'll just look odd (Titans are bigger than WH40K super-heavy tanks)

 

[Kal-el]

that is just stunning! tuly beautiful! jaw dropping!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I suppose. It should be bigger than the Leman though. Are Titans big enough to step on Tanks and crush them?

So much steel... I mean, awsome! That looks amazing, but it almost seem like it'll take up more than one tile in-game. Then again, so does the battleship.

 

[Kal-el]

yes, yes they are.

In the WH40k epic game, even the smallest Titan gets a special 'stomp' attack against tanks ... except super-heavies

Muffins started with Tanks, moved on to Girls, then to Warhammer Titans, now hes back to Tanks...full circle!

here's another cool titan. This is the Eldar Revenant Scout Titan.

Imperial Super Heavy Tank variants:

Stormblade - Mounts a Plasma Blastgun as it's main turret (usually a titan weapon!)


Stormsword - urban, close quarters super heavy siege tank


Shadowsword - titan hunter variant!

Looks like Godzilla has more competition...

I'm not going to have enough space on my hard drive to fit all these great units (to be honest, I shouldn't have downloaded the last several, 'cause I already have a LOT of downloaded units)...

 

[Ozymandias]

Can't wait for this one, Muffins! You've quickly turned into an amazing unit maker.

Best,

Oz
