mobile gun battery
« on: September 10, 2008, 04:23:30 PM »
It's by Forgerworld, it's expensive, it's weird, it's BIG, but it certainly has potential:

No, it's not expensive: it's just pictures to inspire us scratchbuilders...  lol

Yes, I noticed this too. I want one. Alot. And at £80 it's less than I thought it would be (Not that that's saying much :'( ). It is awesome...

It's interesting but I'd like to see it painted first.  Now, the Hades Breaching Drill, that's cool!  8)

Agreed. With a boiler that drill would be awesome! It's not THAT pricey either*...

That's why I buy most of my Forge World stuff at Games Day or by ordering through the store!  :D

Yes, for you talented men it is easy to say. For me an untalented middle aged man I think I have to think if I need such a monster.

One question: How many crew members can be accomodated?

I fancy it with a couple of vertical steam boilers in the back with stroker at each one, prussian artillery crew (or RHA if an English unit) !!!! dreams dreams, I do not have the money nor the time!

You did notice that the guns actually point BACKWARDS on that one, like on the British Archer SPG? So careful where you place those boilers!

Lovely piece, though. Interesting to see they use the Malcador chassis for more than rolling bunkers with MGs galore.

That is why I thought it was a bit odd. Thanks you have pointed me in the right direction. Let's see where we can put the boilers .....

Further to the above, have you seen this?

It looks very promising (for conversion)
