Polaris Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I am not saying you should add another whole level, I just think that there needs to be some sort of separation between the top and sides. Maybe try raising the white top section um a half inch and making the edges slant down like __ /---------\__ The flat top give's me the impression that you just want to see this land raider finished as soon as possible. It is like running the fastest mile ever and then stopping right before the finish line. You're almost done mate!!! : ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150399-super-heavy-land-raider-exterminus-project-mk-ii/page/13/#findComment-2081213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 i like the idea of like 1 or 2 levels itll look sorta like a moving command like an aawesome damoclesmy 2 cents Tactix I think I might add something like the Damocles, I'm not sure yet I am not saying you should add another whole level, I just think that there needs to be some sort of separation between the top and sides. Maybe try raising the white top section um a half inch and making the edges slant down like /---------\ The flat top give's me the impression that you just want to see this land raider finished as soon as possible. It is like running the fastest mile ever and then stopping right before the finish line. You're almost done mate!!! : ) I'm already planning on modeling the top like a normal Land Raider, I just don't know how yet. This thing isn't a castle, but possibly raising it does sound like a bit of a good idea. I do want to see this finished asap, but I'm not rushing it...if you haven't noticed...I haven't done much in the past month or so =-( I've only worked a little bit on the top, because I can't find a way to replicate/scale up the normal Land Raider design.

Polaris Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Either way , I am sure it will look amazing once it is finished. I am really looking forward to seeing the final painted model!

Beornling 3.1415 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 speaking about planet strike, I'm just now imagining the drop pod needed for one of those, or do we build a seperate striped down thunderhawk, with a gimble to bring that baby into the battle field?

sgtNACHO Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Its called shooting it at the planet from a giant MAC (Magnetic Accelerator Cannon)gun. The thing is so awesome that all it needs are a few Drop pod-esque stabilizing thrusters so it lands how you want it, and you have the fastest and most scary Orbital insertion in history! ;) I'm having too much fun thinking about this!

Retributis Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 A MAC gun usually accelerates things to near lightspeed. Don't think a few drop-pod stabilising thrusters are going to slow it down enough ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150399-super-heavy-land-raider-exterminus-project-mk-ii/page/13/#findComment-2081382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Never thought of any sort of fluff thing...I guess it would have a frame-thing around it, and it would drop pod down to the ground essentially. The frame thing, scaffolding like, would have thrusters and stabilization fins and such. It is said that LRs can withstand the vacuum of space right? Or I can use one of these. http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss63/Shortsonfire82/m45.jpg I just lined it up, and 3 vindicators side by side are the same length as my LRE. =-D I concur with NACHO, it was kinda fun thinking about stuff like that =-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150399-super-heavy-land-raider-exterminus-project-mk-ii/page/13/#findComment-2081403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beornling 3.1415 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 yes, very much fun, now all we need to do is build the Apoc/Planet strike delivery system for the LRE... Though if Bolo novels have taught me anything, the plasma cannons, and some drop pod stabilizers means that you could just drop it out of the strike cruiser's thunderhawk bay, fire some bolters to send it planetward, and then use the plasma guns and the drop pod chassies to control direction/descent.

Shortsonfire79 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 In that case...I think we should just strap a whole bunch of teleporters on it..saves me a ton of work X-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150399-super-heavy-land-raider-exterminus-project-mk-ii/page/13/#findComment-2081417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beornling 3.1415 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 So we will get a tear in the fabric of the universe when it interacts with a terrian piece while deep striking? Falling from orbit, and then using plasma exhaust to slow it's descent means you get to destroy the terrain and models it lands on.

Rindaris Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 nice work so far... really...really need to start on mine (probably will this weekend, wife is going out of town with her mother for a country concert). You could just use Scottie. You know that 350 point strike cruiser upgrade. He allows you to teleport anything anywhere. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150399-super-heavy-land-raider-exterminus-project-mk-ii/page/13/#findComment-2081909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectre312 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I could see this being set in a frame with angleable (is that word?) Rockets on the sides to stear it, and once it hits they fall off, and zooooom.... I'm trying to think of the movie I saw that in... but my brain is failing miserably. It was almost like a square frame work drop pod, and once it hit charges went off in the middle and it split and fell over. Or try extending a thunderhawk?

daemon*hunter Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'd imagine some kind of (very strong) Frame Cage or Box or something that would be carried down, and it could just drive out, that's one real life method, Or you could just give it massive wings and let it glide B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150399-super-heavy-land-raider-exterminus-project-mk-ii/page/13/#findComment-2134911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harreh.teh.awesum Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 This thread inspired me to register Amazing project, I can see what people mean with a second deck, a firing platform for the troops inside? There are loads of possible things you could do.. major teleport beacon, drop pod landing pad for constant reinforcements...

Aerixis Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Awesome work! I'm still working on a Land Raider Ares for my Angels of Redemption. I don't think theres anything cooler than a Land Raider with a demolisher cannon. Except, maybe, a Hellhammer. Or 5.

Shortsonfire79 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow! I came to this thread for some pictures of what the finish would look like, and I found some replies! Cool! haha I've started painting BUT!!! its build is not finished yet!!! I haven't gotten the supplies to finish the top, and as you'll see in the pictures, I left it black for where I plan on adding more. IN FACT! I did this all yesterday! I hand coated the black. And I painted the Necron Abyss, drybrushed it, then washed it twice with Necron Abyss. I cleaned up the black, drybrushed it, and washed it with chaos black. No flash: http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss63/Shortsonfire82/IMG_2953.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss63/Shortsonfire82/IMG_2946.jpg Flash: http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss63/Shortsonfire82/IMG_2951.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss63/Shortsonfire82/IMG_2947.jpg I would recommend checking my >>>>WIP<<<< post for my whole army, as thats where all future updates on this beasty will be going.
