I think it's the way the cab blends into the flat plate. Perhaps a little more depth to underhanging greeblies on the plate will fix it? I really like the IDEA of a hanging cab, and I think you nearly have it, but Blip's right that it's a little off. It looks like it's tacked on.

I think that underslung design looks far better! Agreed with the others that it could still use some tweaking with the cab somehow, maybe have it a separate piece at least so people can choose what to do with it.

Looking better there already.

What do people think if the plate didn't come as far forward or the central superstructure stretched further forward and the Cab was hanging from that.

Also what about defence points above the power cables where they cross over the tracks?

To clarify - its not the hanging cab i have a problem with (in fact i think that looks great) its the very prominent square edges to the "running board" (for want of another description.) It might be the 3/4 view (and the new lower mounting relative to the tracks is making it look much better) i just feel like those corners look odd... Even simply chamfering the corners may sort it, though to be honest, if it were me i would omit the flat plate and re-sculpt that area to feel as an integrated part of the central hull.

However, i am being picky. Looks great over all.

It looks better, but to me the whole platform thing is off and the design of the main body of it is off. The weapons are also fixed by an extremity, which doesn't make sense. I'm afraid the only thing I really like are the hanging cab and the track unit.

You know I'm really wanting the War Stalker weapons as a separate item that I can purchase. I have terrible need for them, the stalkers, not so much.

Upgraded conveyor based on comments - more details yet to be added, but is this better?

Looked fine before, looks fine now. Still getting a few...

Could you add a render with a Churchillian and/or an APC in the picture, for scale?

I've still some upgrades to undertake on the Conveyor, so I've opened up Flamer Vectors for purchase in the mean time!

I like it, has got a lot more meat to its bones. Gives it a much more solid look.
