Zyth23 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi there, I posted few weeks ago a topic to ask the name of a model seen on Apocalypse book on page 240. I asked today to GamesWorkshop: Digital Editions facebook page the same question, and I got this answer: "...I don't think that's actually a named tank. Don't let that stop you converting one up mind, it just means that as well as an awesome tank, you get to make up a cool name for it. Mythical beasts are always a good bet, as is 'insert-cool-word' Sword/blade..." So I begin to plan how I will begin my model. And I called him "Redemptor", with a Redemption Cannon. I will use a Macharius Chassis as base pattern, but I will boost the size. For the Cannon, the Redemption Cannon, I choose to use multiple parts of the Baneblade box set to make my big cannon. I patched together: - Stormsword Cannon. - Baneblade turret Cannon. - Hellhammer Cannon "mouth". Here are images of the Cannon: *12.January.2014* Full Cannon (with earthshaker next to it for size comparison): http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/012/c/5/_wip__redemptor_cannon_001_by_zyth23-d71y2mr.jpg Stormsword Cannon: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/012/9/f/_wip__redemptor_cannon_002_by_zyth23-d71y3bg.jpg Baneblade Mega Battle cannon: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/012/a/4/_wip__redemptor_cannon_003_by_zyth23-d71y3py.jpg Hellhammer Cannon "mouth": http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/012/9/1/_wip__redemptor_cannon_004_by_zyth23-d71y3z0.jpg Then I'll need to buy a lots of Plastic Card to continue the model. And also some Sagex ^^' I'll spend some time the coming week to draw the model on paper. -- I just draw the Redemptor Chassis Tracks today. *13.January.2014* The Redemptor Chassis Tracks size: - Width: ~23cm / 9" - Height: ~7,5cm / 3" Here are the picture of it: Redemptor Chassis Tracks "blueprint": http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/b/b/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size_by_zyth23-d72264q.jpg Redemptor Chassis Tracks with Land Raider Model: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/c/b/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size__land_raider__by_zyth23-d7226s8.jpg Redemptor Chassis Tracks with BaneBlade Model: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/e/f/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size__baneblade__by_zyth23-d722709.jpg Redemptor Chassis Tracks With Redemption Cannon: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/8/9/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size__cannon__by_zyth23-d72278z.jpg -- Today a little reshape of the Chassis Tracks, and first test of Cannon, based on the Bombard Tank. *14.January.2014* Here are the pictures: Bombard Tank: http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120227220455/warhammer40k/images/b/be/Bombard01.png Redemptor "blueprint" Tracks and Cannon: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/014/3/1/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_and_cannon_by_zyth23-d7275xe.jpg -- Cannon v2 and Mecanism of Firing Angle Controller inspired from Steam Locomotive wheels linked with a bar. *14.January.2014* Here are the pictures: Redemptor Cannon "blueprint" v2: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/014/9/6/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_and_cannon_v2_by_zyth23-d727q29.jpg Redemptor Cannon Firing Angle Controller Mecanism: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/014/d/8/_wip__redemptor_cannon_motion_system_by_zyth23-d727qdk.jpg -- Got free time at school today, so I began to draw the Tracks more detailed. *15.January.2014* here is the picture: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/015/e/7/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_by_zyth23-d72acgx.jpg -- First test of side view Full Version of the Redemptor done. *15.January.2014* I made two version with Gimp, one with an higher constrasts to make the details looks better.

And here is the result: *21.January.2014* Redemptor Full Test Upside: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/021/5/2/_wip__redemptor_full_test_up_001_by_zyth23-d734708.jpg Redemptor Full Test Upside, with Baneblade comparison: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/021/e/c/_wip__redemptor_full_test_up_002_by_zyth23-d73475j.jpg At the moment, the cannon is more looking to a Bombard Cannon rather than the Cannon from the Picture in the book. But I'll probably make both variants. -- I'll update the main post when I got new stuff to show. Feel free to comment, give tips, bring ideas. Cordialy, Zyth.

Grimm Blade Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 That is an awesome looking cannon!After looking at the picture, I would say that you could probably use some imperial building pieces such as arches and windows for this build to help give it that dark gothic feel.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Squadron green putty, Mr. Surfacer, or something of the like. Hell, even superglue would be better than GS. It's a terrible option for filling gaps like that. (I know, the "game" model industry makes GS out to be this amazing substance that's great for everything, but it's really not.)

(I know, the "game" model industry makes GS out to be this amazing substance that's great for everything, but it's really not.)Can you make me a highlight on paint of the area you want me to fill? I'm not sur to exactly understood what you wanted me to do x) And I worked a lot with GS, to make my Cadians turning into Steel Legion / Kriegers by giving them Trench Coat, and I just love GreenStuff.

Zyth23 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I just found that, by searching something else on google, that will help me for the biggest part of the cannon. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z224/ultrabear/DSCN3260v.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z224/ultrabear/DSCN3278v.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z224/ultrabear/DSCN2962.jpg Image found here: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?140762-Super-heavy-army-group I would tike to make a mecanism with the barrel recoil, but this will be hardcore to make.

Zyth23 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I just bought some Plastic Card sheets today. I used Lego Digital Designer software to make my Chassis Tracks first try. Then I draw it on paper, with Land Raider Chassis to get comparison and also because I based 50% of my Redemptor Chassis on Land Raider Chassis. The Redemptor Chassis Tracks size: - Width: ~23cm / 9" - Height: ~7,5cm / 3" Here are the picture of it: (I'll also update the main post with them) Redemptor Chassis Tracks "blueprint": http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/b/b/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size_by_zyth23-d72264q.jpg Redemptor Chassis Tracks with Land Raider Model: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/c/b/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size__land_raider__by_zyth23-d7226s8.jpg Redemptor Chassis Tracks with BaneBlade Model: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/e/f/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size__baneblade__by_zyth23-d722709.jpg Redemptor Chassis Tracks With Redemption Cannon: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/013/8/9/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_size__cannon__by_zyth23-d72278z.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285528-wip-redemptor-super-heavy-artillery-tank/#findComment-3568155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyth23 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 So today I've draw a second test of the Chassis Tracks, with some little changes in the base shape. And I've draw the first test of the Cannon part I've not done atm. I took exemple on the Bombard cannon to make this part of the Redemption Cannon. I've also prepared the size of the "Cathedral" emplacment on the side of the tank. I screened the "blueprint" with the part of the Cannon I've already made on 12.January. Bombard Tank: http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120227220455/warhammer40k/images/b/be/Bombard01.png Redemptor "blueprint" Tracks and Cannon: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/014/3/1/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_and_cannon_by_zyth23-d7275xe.jpg I'll also update the main post with those images.

Zyth23 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I just noticed I failed one detail on my last draw. I plan to make the cannon recoil possible, and the part that can recoil isn't correctly draw atm. Not enought important to be re-uploaded, but it will be on the next one.

Zyth23 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 So I've redraw the Cannon part I failed, and I've draw the Mecanism System that will allow the cannon to change the shooting Angle. I will use the same mecanisme as the first Steam Locomotives, two "wheels" linked with a bar. Here are the pictures: Redemptor Cannon "blueprint" v2: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/014/9/6/_wip__redemptor_chassis_tracks_and_cannon_v2_by_zyth23-d727q29.jpg Redemptor Cannon Firing Angle Controller Mecanism: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/014/d/8/_wip__redemptor_cannon_motion_system_by_zyth23-d727qdk.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285528-wip-redemptor-super-heavy-artillery-tank/#findComment-3569316 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Two words: Freaking Epic!

Honda Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Apologies, I should have used better english.

I don't have anything to make cast XD But sure I'll post the build instructions, but not when it will be done. I will post them everytime I got a part ready. But I'm not done with the Drawing atm, I still need to prepare the central part. I hope I can begin plastik building next week.
