My tanks- pic heavy

My scratch built malcador:





My Hellhound. i dont much like the GW model, so i did this instead.the gas tanks are mounted inside the wheels. i used CO2 cartridges and a predator turret as well as a hellhammer gun. . this is my favourite tank.




This is my hydra, i dont want to buy forgeworlds:


and then my earthshaker battery



what do you guys think?

[Yeti's Yell]

Wow, I'm impressed. Geez, that's a ton of scratch building you have there.

Everything looks cool. The Hellhound sure isn't traditional but it isn't bad either. I love the use of the Co2 cartridges. As a kit-bashing fan I applaud you.

Paint it up!

Best,

Yeti

that hellhound looks really nice.
cool idea with using the predator turret with hellhammer cannon.

[lordcastellenjon]

can I ask about your hydra how you do it and how much it cxost to do

[Commissar]

That malcador is impressive work.
Amazing stuff. Wanna see more soon.

the hydra was made from a basilisk kit and the top of a whirlwind. it costs me maybe $60. i just bought a basilisk from the store, made the gun into my basilisk battery then bought a whirlwind top from battlewagon bits. i used plasticard and what not to attach it. i also had some extra autocannons sitting around from my heavy weapon teams. i cut the ends off the auto cannons and attached them to plasticard tubes that were the same diameter as autocannons. if i could change anything i would make the barrels ofthe gun bigger. they're too small in my opinion. it took a bit of work but way cheaper than forgeworld.

Thanks for the compliment Commisar. I'm working on painting up the malcador, so i'll post pics when i'm done

Very cool work, I especially like the hellhound conversion

Nice work. I am one that would rather see a thread ressurected instead of the same questions and topics being raised over and over again. It shows a general interest of the board in general to look for the answers before asking the questions.

Not only that as the author of the thread and these being your babies, I am sure it feels good to see it revived.

i completely agree, gave me the encouragement i needed to get off my ass dig out my camera and snap some pics

Like the camo scheme!
