Land Raider Ares II

[Asrech]

G'day gents! Made an Ares a few years ago and loved it (some might remember it, for others, there's a link in my sig) so when I got my hands on a LR in pieces (having been ripped appart) I thought that I might as well convert the heck out of it since it was already beat up! (And I am a bit of a nut when it comes to converting).

 

The theme of my other ares is Redemption, lots of skulls and fire (purgatory). So I went with the other side of the coin for this one, Salvation! You're still going to get shot with a huge cannon, but one path leads to sitting at the emperor side, the other at spending a few turns of eternety in the warp.

So for this tank I wanted a more holy exerience, so went with a church theme.

As you can see it's still very much a work in progress, I will order a upgrade pack from GW for the sponsons ( I plan on using the redeemer flamestorm cannons ), I will also be adding some details to the roof (like on the Redemption) and a banner over the cannon.

 

C&C greatly appreciated everyone!

Cheers!

WOW

 

Looks absolutely fantastic! Probably one of the best uses of a scrapped LR, if I do say so myself (other than an orky battlewagon... sorry, but my blood is green)

 

Really sharp GS work. Looking forward to seeing it painted!

The dozer blade might block the Flamestorms, you think? Its pretty wide. And what an elaborate conversion. Wow.
