NightHunters Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Oh yes. if that was half the price I would be tempted to start guard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 That's pretty cool, but the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADU LYKAN Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I guess it depends on how you look at it, (it includes postage) a similar tank from Forgeworld would cost more and having received mad robot stuff I can say he does a better job of casting than Forgeworld, I hope to buy a squadron at some point :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 That's what I was thinking. I have a few FW models and their resin casting isn't that great. I've bought stuff from Mad Robot before and their products are awesome. Once you figure in shipping, this tank is cheaper and I'm only buying one to be my Command Tank (2 possible if I use the AM codex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Looks pretty cool, like a slightly gothic German Tiger. Price makes it too expensive to use Army-wide, but it'd make a nice Pask tank if you have the dollah for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I was thinking of using it as Grizmund's tank (Throne of Glory) for my Armored Company (IA).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steellegionnaire85 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Now that I looked at this I want to replace all my russes. And I want to buy plastic steel legion. More plastic crack. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 No room for sponsons tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 That certainly a sweet looking tank. But I agree with other fraters tho that price...yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 No room for sponsons tho... Sponsons? I guess if russes ever get the superheavy ability to split fire and shoot heavy weapons at full BS when firing the ordnance weapon, they'll be a thing... I really fething love the tank...the twin autocannon one is amazing, as is the long battlecannon, but the hull...I love the hull. The short barreled one could be interchangeably a nova cannon or a demolisher cannon, that's a two-fer! $85 delivered is competitive with FW...but not GW plastics. The price isn't insane, but it is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Don't care about sponsons as I won't field it as Pask in a Punisher. I can live with the price as it will be a single tank in my force and I know the quality of the resin will be better than FW resin... Another company to keep an eye out for is Blood & Skulls Industry, which mainly made Baneblade conversion bits, but now has expanded into Leman Russ conversions. I recently bought two of the Russian KV2 turrets for my LRBTs and they are awesome. I've texted with the owner and he is very friendly and responsive to questions. He is planning on making more conversion kits centered around Russian tanks.. I will post pics once I finish painting my new turrets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emicus Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Remember lads, Games Workshop models are overpriced and hella' expensive. It's just plastic after all./sarcasmAnd that's one sweet looking tank! As for sponsons I reckon you could jigg it with additional turrent mounted guns or even pintle-mounted style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 "Have enough tanks"? Sorry, wrong part of the B&C to be asking that grey ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have 2 infantry platoons (25 models each), 8 Veteran Squads ( 6 used for mechanised vets and 2 Catachan squads), 1 ten man Ratlin squad, 5 six man Scion units, and 2 Command squads, plus about a dozen different officer models and advisors tech-priests, etc.. Not much of an infantry horde guy... I love my tanks and mechanised vets. Plan on using Anvil Industries new regiment models to make 2 Iron fist squads.... Both Blood and Skulls Industries and Mad Robot are coming out with new 28mm tanks and conversion kits for 40k tanks, so I more tanks are in my future...

Kontakt Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Damn dude, you have enough tanks there? How many infantry do you have? Honestly, I feel that isn't a crazy amount of tanks. If he wanted to run the armoured formation, he would need more tanks than that. 2 baneblades is nice, he has selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
