Quillen Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 So, I am sitting bored out of my mind. Looking over some Votom models. I love the look of them and use them in Apoc as Knight Titans. Well I was looking through some kits and BAM! I see my new dream transport. http://finnhobby.com/Gallery_zhanshi.php?b...d=8&pid=489 So I buy 2. And then I get 3 more. lol Cause I have no control. Only problem is it's out of production now. So you have to find the kit on Ebay, or a store in Asia. I have the first one almost together. It's so sweet. Why can GW not realise we need new kits. We get bored with old kits. I have 6 Land raiders. Why? Cause I like models and painting them. I will not buy another if I can help it. Anyways I made up 3 versions of it with VDR. It's a Hover tank. As it's old Imperial. So It's more like a Tau devilfish. Armor: 14 13 12 I also have a weaker one which is 13 12 11. So many points in one basket thou. And it looks so heavy armored I see it more as a LandRaider that gives up some armor and weapons to Hover and Carry more. Weapons: Extended Range Assault Cannon and 2 Hunter killer missiles. Has 2 troop compartments. Forward is inclosed and can hold 12 models in Power Armor. Rear Bed has an Assault ramp and can hold 16 power armor, or 8 terminators, or a Dreadnought. Speed is 6" and 12" We were debating doing a 24" turbo boost but you of course can not disembark or fire weapons. What do you guys think. I love the model and it looks close to scale. And as a model it's amazing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201657-new-hover-transport/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espada Azul Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 ...Isn't that from the 08th Mobile Suit Team (I still have the OVA in my HD)? The EFSF logo was a dead giveaway, nevermind the crew.

Quillen Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Oh please tell me you know what the stuff on the side of the bed are for? I know Macross and Votoms, not Gundam. I watched the first 3 episodes of the first gundam series. As for as I got. NOt sure what they do. Look like maybe a com system or radar, and no clue on the other one.

If you mean the "rockety" things the right one is a ground sonar. They burrow it down a bit and use them to detect ground movement. The other is probably a com-mast of some sort.

Quillen Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Ground sonar. lol Well it does look like a nacal sonar. So makes sence. Just not the burrowing part. A flat disk would work better.

Well giant robots trying to fight each other with swords when they have massive death ray guns does not make sense either, so thats just a small mistep. :) And if you switch the Robots for power armored knights we have 40k logic so in a way they are very related universes. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201657-new-hover-transport/#findComment-2402863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeenos Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Without to much work, you got yourself a Land Raider right there! Maybe even a Rhino.. a little big, but the current Rhino is a little small to carry 10 powered armored space marines.

Quillen Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thanks for all the input. Yeah I love the real tank look to it. Which is why I like Forge World stuff. It has a more real look to it. And it looks amazing with the models next to it. Thanks for all the input. Yeah I love the real tank look to it. Which is why I like Forge World stuff. It has a more real look to it.
