Silent Observant Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Heyllo, I was trying to get more solid information on the hercules tank and medium tank that was mentioned on the forum. Like what was heard about that, if the Hercules was a superheavy or medium tank, cause I've seen reports of it being one or the other. And also on this medium tank. Thanks!

Demus Ragnok Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The only thing that comes to mind is that the Sicaran Battle Tank uses a Herakles pattern accelerator autocannon. I think the Hercules rumor was around just before the Sicaran was released.

Hesh Kadesh Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The Hercules comes from this old pic. http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=64447&d=1242407497 Not sure where it's from itself though. Space Marine game or Rogue Trader? If it's the transport (which shows similarities to the Mastodon if I'm honest) in the centre, then it's as large or larger than a Land Raider Proteus.

Silent Observant Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 There was information there were new tanks at the open day and I was wondering about information from the event that day, the hercules was mentioned specifically Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311125-hercules-super-heavy-tank-and-medium-tank/#findComment-4122812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Mastodon. Not hercules. First I've heard of it, other than the Mastodon showing a vague similarity.

Olis Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Scuttlebutt has it that a Hercules model will be based on the Mastodon. I will heavily emphasise that this has come from barely believable rumour-mongering floating about on the web. Never mind a pinch of salt - go get yourself a salt-spreader truck. But it's a nice thought that the Mastodon chassis will see further development. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311125-hercules-super-heavy-tank-and-medium-tank/#findComment-4122842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 This is probably where you're getting ides from: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310308-forge-world-open-day-2015-news-thread/?p=4114014 FW have plans for a number of new tanks, and the Hercules was mentioned as a possibility.

Lucien Eilam Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Not sure where it's from itself though. Space Marine game or Rogue Trader? Space Marine. It was a double-page spread from White Dwarf 120, printed alongside the new releases for Adeptus Titanicus and Space Marine. Despite introducing rules for 9 vehicles for Epic Battles in that issue, that little story the only mention of the Hercules. Just a name and a questionable image. Forge World have worked from less in the past, of course.

depthcharge12 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Either way, FW will fill tubs of gold from selling them to us. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311125-hercules-super-heavy-tank-and-medium-tank/#findComment-4122865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
