5.5-6cm tall, slightly taller than a truescale warhound.

4cm would look too small for my taste... not that I've yet seen an inspiring death wheel design in any case, mind you. Best of luck.

Nice.

The only problem I see with trying to keep the Deathwheel truescale is that there has never been an official size given, as far as I know. I think Audrey's is the standard by sheer virtue of being the first. And yes, this will be a pretty wide model with the sponsons - when I mentioned the 20mm wide, I was referring to the size in the image. Obviously, I still need to add the sponson assemblies, which I figure will increase the width by another 15mm or so.

Anyway, I'll play with the design and see what we can do. I'm eying the Star Wars wheel bike-thingy right now for inspiration...

Yes I'm interested
Yes it's a stupid model
Yes I have confidence that somebody may be able to come up with a cool design!!
Don't like your concept there, if it was built along the chaos navy/brass scorpion aesthetic I'd be on it.

I like the hollow interior monowheel tank design

This is really cool if you lose the ork riding it

If you can imagine a superheavy daemon engine tank hull with nice angled armour sitting slung just below the centreline of a similar monowheel with rippytread (I wouldn't have it as land raider type of tread, more like a bicycle tyre of death), with turrets under the sides- something that may look like a bulky Hell Talon stuck in a monowheel- I'd buy that for a dollar.

Other tank inspiration- ww1 russian trench crossing tank 'Tsar' http://25.media.tumblr.com/QhxlPciYDcmy ... pi_500.jpg

Excellent rippy tread http://randommization.com/2011/02/26/ch ... -of-scrap/

Forgeworld Daemon engine sketches http://www.warvault.net/warhammer_realm ... 8747#28747
(I think the first and second are on the right track for a centre of hull)

I am definitely interested.

Dunno, 40mm basses and spare tank track are the sort of part that i image everyone just magically *has* in their bits box – a bit like 40k marine back packs and 2nd ed 2 part orks . The rest is just bitz websites and whatever happens to be to hand.

That said i do much prefer the holo monowheel approach shown by fattdex, id been thinking of doing something similar using large lego technic cogs

Hollow monowheel should look better than a single block.

Make it big though, it's DC4!

As most players around the world are using GW and FW scale titans, I'd not worry at all about trying to stay in truescale. A 6cm tall Deathwheel will look too big next to the more common Reavers/Warhounds around the world.

I like the hollow idea though I must say.

Looking forward to seeing this develop!

If it's gonna be a hollow centre it'll need to be 6cm tall or the physical tank part will be barely larger than a Land Raider... hardly a DC4 Titan with enough bulk to have void shields too!

Yeah you can go big with the hollow style - i may do some roughs for you if you want matey?

Ha true that!

Go for it! I'd like to see where this goes.

I would be interested, too!

I think it would be nice if it had some kind of cockpit\control room coming out of one of the sides... With the current scratchbuilt models, I've always asked myself how do the drivers see where they are going!

First of all I'd make the actual treadlinks a lot smaller, in line with a regular Super Heavy tank. then I'd have two seperate sets of treads next to each other, which makes it slightly more plausible that it can turn on a dime. A significant addition of detail is necessary to make it worthwhile compared to the fairly simple scratchbuild. I'd make the centre of gravity a lot lower by moving the superstructure and gund to the lower half of the vehicle.
