[Archive] New nurgle tank

Grimstonefire:

Thoughts?

I can’t obviously see a way in…?

Admiral:

Through the exhaust ports, of course.

Apart from that, gorgeous model. 40k needs more of this kind of thing. I like the design a lot. The only things missing for perfection would be some stretched Daemonskin as on the Hellcannon and optional Nurglings, and some optional dripping slimeshooter, Daemonically possessed.

Grimstonefire:

I do really like it, but it needs a driver hatch so I’d rework the front a bit, or possibly under the back, which would make more sense, as a driver hatch on the front would weaken the armour for a forwards facing siege tank.

Dînadan:

It’s supposedly a daemon engine so has no crew anyway, so no need to get it.

If it were to have access hatches/doors though, maybe they’re hidden behind the dozerblade?

Jupp, there is a demon inside. But for crew, maybe the top panel would be removable? But agree its seems a bit odd, though some chaos vehicles are more like dinobots so a living tank seems like the kinda stuff Death Guard would have. :)

Ghrask Dragh:

I do really like it, nicer than yet another rhino mod, as for the hatch and how crew get in and out… a wizard did it!!

If ever I ventured down this route I would have it covered in nurglings, those guys are great, its good to see they are getting a bit of a sense of humour about them again with things like this guy…

tjub:

Haha, jupp… Already a classic! :smiley:

tjub:

Btw shouldn’t be too hard to convert it into something useful for Chaos Dwrafs, some kind of siege breaker demon engine?

Carcearion:

I like it! We have long needed some more cult specific daemon engines.

£17 cheaper than an Iron Demon, with a little converting I'd love to have that leading a train as a more demonic and possessed version instead of the more dwarf driven practical model

That was my first thought as well, although how in the world are you going to carve that Nurgle symbol out without damagingthe model beyond repairing???

The easiest way would be to just pull a minotaur/bull head on top of it, in a "charging pose". But agree, maybe not the best thing to convert. :P

Grimstonefire:

If you cut the nurgle skulls off the symbol that might be sufficient, could add a small shield or something on the front to cover it.

Grimstonefire:

As a daemon engine I’d expect it to be a lot more demonic, so I sort of expected it to have death guard crew.

tjub
Nah. For me it would look to far advanced technology wise to work well.
But I will enjoy any efforts that you care to attempt

Jackswift:

Getting the symbol off would be a pain but definitely doable. I may just have to tal this on as a conversion. Overall I really like the model. To much on my plate as it is… Hmmm…

gsteelwraith:

Getting the symbol off would require a lot of carefully shaving, and then filing it smooth. I’ve been thinking of using it as an Iron Daemon myself, although that Maulerfiend conversion of Thommy H’s is still one I’ve though long and hard about doing one of my own.

Poison:

there is also a very nice resin alternative here:

Bloodbeard:

That alternative is super nice, really cool model - and a lot cheaper. I didn’t think I would be getting any of these plague crawlers as the price is too much. But I might get one or two of these at some point.
