[Archive] 40k squat leviathan spotted

Zanthrax:

I know there are a few squat fans on CDO so I thought I would post this:

It’s not mine but if I had the cash it would be lol.:cheers

Bloodbeard:

If you have half the cash I’ll build you an exact replica. It’s a nice machine, but it basically just a good idea, some excess lascannos and a lot a plastic sheet. 500 dollars. That’s insane. The only pricey bits on it are the extra long caterpillar tracks. And if one wouldn’t mind getting those from a none GW source, they would be pretty cheap.

Thanks for sharing. Ebay has some weird stuff at times.

Even if you did buy the tracks from GW it wouldn't be pricy enough to justify $500 - unless I'm mistaken it's jus built from a baneblade chaise and a baneblade is only £85 (about $140). I seriously doubt the plasticard cost $360. I suppose you might be able to justify it as a one off commission to pay for the man-hours involved, but that's only as a personal commission and not selling something on through eBay :/

I was just thinking about scratchbuilding a 40k version of the squat epic range last night. Making some Gyrocoopters, a Leviathan and a Land train would be so much fun. I just have no where to put it!
