Like the general design, and the size is pretty damn realistic

Ok, I think the basic version of the battletank (still needs a name) is ready. Unless there are any other specific requests.

@rest of you: any other feedback for the standard version of this battletank before I can send it off to Vanguard?


Very much like the style of this tank. The geometry all feels right, looks right, looks tough as hell. Hearing the sizes worries me a little for cross-pollination with other stuff I have, but all the details on it are spot on and it'd make a superb unit alongside other slightly larger models in the range, if someone wanted to start a full force. I must admit, it's very tempting to roll up a desert-themed detachment including these.

On names - something along the lines of Challenger or Centurion, perhaps? Would sit well alongside other names like Warrior and Churchillian and sounds suitably fighty.

I think I want an extra targeter gribly coaxially mounted on that firefly. Not sure if it makes it too fragile by a bit thinner would be nice.

As for name, obviously Tanky McTank-Face

Ok, my post disappeared...too bad!

Scale will remain a tricky thing. It seems the Epic community is a bit divided, either stick with the original stuff, which had vehicles and infantry at very scales, or go for something more 'consistent'. Then there are those who just like chunkier vehicles. On top of that you can now also add the "coming threat" of 8mm scaled stuff. Oh well...it will remain tricky!

The part next to the barrel should represent its scanning devices, but I could of course try to come up with an additional targeting bit.

I think we have a winner, but I'm not sure our Big Kahuna will approve, John? :D

oh i get that the standard ports and sensors are there but here we have a long range sniper tank. It gets a dedicated one to the long range gun :)
Just that I feel we need to brig some more attention to that weapon, that's all.

I totally agree with you on that one. :) Will need to kinda figure out how to do the targeting device. :)

Well i'm fairly happy with the core tank now so people it's your last chance to contribute before I lock the design and move on to other variants.

Will give you until tomorrow evening UK time to propose additions or changes, cheers.

Any chance to include some HMG on tank commander's cupola? IMHO main guns shouldn't be off centerline but I can live with it. :]

@SpeakerToMachines: All in good time. First plan is the get the basic tank up and ready. Then the first two variants: anti-armour (see above) and anti-bunker (return of the bunker buster cannon). Depending on how well they are received I can ponder about more variants...


Take your time, I'll wait and get some when they're ready :)

I'm hoping to create some tank crew figures you can put in the turrets these will probably include commander's shooting MG's etc.
