KrOOzA Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 http://i62.tinypic.com/x6iuti.png Basic list of changes... Flamers replace Lazcannons. Extra armour plating added. Heavy bolters moved up to the top hatch... replaced by redeemer cannon. Missile launcher added. Doza blade added. Front ramp/door enlarged and beefed up so it becomes part of the Doza Blade when raised. Those explodey things added to the front. Housed in extra armour plating that's been blended into the original hull. Fancy head lights added. The sides 'at the rear' are a slightly different shape to the stock model. Had to change the angle so they followed the ill fitting tracks. The sides are also 3mm higher than the stock model for the same reason. Each track plate has been reworked with tread added.

The_Chaplain Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Send pictures of that to Forgeworld so we can get some form of that as an actual kit. How the heck did you do/make the dozerblade? I want that as a kit, good lord! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 That dozer blade is impressive and, dare I say it, innovative. Truly an excellent idea. Great model, brother. :tu: Welcome to the forums, btw. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrOOzA Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks The Doza is loosely inspired by the FW Sisters of Battle Rhino thing. 'Sorry not up on all the Space Marine names as I usually do Ork models' Id seen a few examples of Doza Baldes added to LandRaiders and didn't think any of them really fitted with the model. So decided to go my own way. It's really more of a Riot Shield than a rubble moving blade. The flamers are from the GW Redeemer kit... just doubles to make them look extra deadly. The explosive plate things are from the same kit 'the old metal parts' as are the plates on the side doors. The front ramp/door is enlarged with another GW part... cant remember what from. Everything else is plasticard and odd bits and bobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't suppose you have any work in progress pictures of that thing? I'd love to see that project halfway through completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's and exaple of my plasticard work. Lots of this sort of thing added to this model. http://i61.tinypic.com/zx9xzn.jpg Link to comment
Thousand Eyes Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Wow those look like the good meaning of the word brutal. Well played. That Landraider looks like it'd drive through an army solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 That dozer blade... I... I don't know what to say other than it's blowing my mind. I would NEVER have thought to do it that way. And you pulled it off so well! I legit thought this was a computer render, maybe because of that gray primer. Perfect idea, perfect execution. "KrOOzA Wins. Flawless victory."

GhostMalone Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The only issue is in reality that ramp won't drop with the dozer blade piling dirt up maybe with angled grater like blades like on the cat H series but that's more of a loader bucket then blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm so disappointed that this isn't actually a model kit that I can buy, put together, paint and game with. Kudos to you good sir I truly am a amazed, please excuse me while I pick my jaw up off of the ground and go and change my pants. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some looked a little more practical but didn't look half as nice as this one. My designs mostly concentrate on the aesthetics rather than the practicality as I feel that's more important. Nice when both come together but sometimes you have to pick one or the other. Although I've not modelled it the Doza could have hydraulics enabling it to be pushed forward, raise, tip... which would probably solve those issues.

KrOOzA Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I was thinking of making something like this... http://i60.tinypic.com/2wmnozt.png Basically it's a means of deploying a LandRaider onto the battle field without the need for a huge ThunderHawk. It would enable a Land Raider to be dropped from high altitude with enough control over its decent to make a soft landing. The detaches itself, to be picked up later for reuse. Has this been done before? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't believe it has been done before, no. The only disposable deployment vehicles that I can recall are drop pods. Question: could it be possible to take this design further and add in a servitor cockpit node or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrOOzA Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Sky's the limit I guess. Though my concept is strictly a deployment mechanism. Not 'turning a Land Raider into a Gunship' sort of thing. I think the latter would meet with quite some protest if you tried to use it in game lol. I guess some sort of automated device that allows the unit to return to where it came from would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Nah, it wasn't for flying or anything. Just a guidance system for the descent. That was the thought process at least. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have a few bits.... Spartan... Terminators... Dread. Im planning on getting the other items once Ive sold off my old stock. Plan is to make a small but powerful unit. Bit like the Legion of the Damned. However Ive gone for Iron Hands as FW do some nice modles of those and the paint job is easy ;) Heres a list of what I have and what I'll be getting... http://i58.tinypic.com/jrfi4x.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
