I think it's pretty doable, and quite the crazy model too  still just based on the malcador so I guess you could work off the epic scale one I think Reaver did awhile back.

Dont like this much, I am afraid. It took me a while to work out that the guns are actually pointing backwards! |

I think it looks like it could be easily chaos-ified. That hinge-pin support looks like an obvious place to slap an 8-pointed star. Put a big skull on either end and you be good to go. Also, spikes. |

Yeah, I agree, it looks a bit daft to me. I'm sure the treadheads will love it nonetheless. |

I quite liked it up till then, but now it just looks a bit silly. Oh well. You never know, it might grow on me. Like a fungus... Regards, Reaver |

I like it because it is ugly. I guess it's driven to where it needs to be, then turned around. "This end towards enemy." Perhaps this backwards pointing thing is a desire to get better scoot-performance during a shoot-and-scoot? Curious as to whether it's STC or just an attempt to turn Malcadors into self-propelled artillery. |

 A hardly surprising opinion coming from me, I guess. |

It looks like it has cabs on both ends, but the one facing the same direction as the guns has a view blocked by the gun-holding bit. I don't see what the big deal is for the guns to face in the opposite direction of the cab. I doubt that a real-world version of this vehicle would have move-and-fire capability anyway. |

Uhhh... huh. Okay. I think I would have preferred something along the "Mörser Karl" lines. This... is just weird. It reminds me of a snail for some reason. I have to wonder sometimes what kind of a vetting process new ideas go through at FW. And how much alcohol is involved. |

I'm as much a tread-head as the next guy, but i have to agree that this just looks silly. FW is stretch a little too far it seems to make more stuff for the Death Corps of Krieg siege range. |

Glad to see you two Casters(Reaver & O-man) worked it out ! So who is doing the Centaur ?!?  As far as the design, typical G/W neo-cybergothic WWI/II Doppelganger ...  The Brit Archer TD mounted a 17 lber backwards on a Valentine chassis ... So that is one RW example of that kind of configuration, there are a few others also. From the side it looks like the German Hummel SP 150. However with the twim mounted Basy cannons it looks a bit like a Naval twin gun turret. As far as employment, I'm pretty sure it can't shoot while on the move. But since it's a SPFA and not an MBT, I wouldn't expect it to ...
