It's going to be a little big on the table :)

I would put "armoured boxes" around the guns as crew protection (even though it has Void Shields) and add in ammo bunkerage/loading cranes/empties and crew.  I'd also suggest that the guns on the battleship turret (Rodney is it?) need to be replaced with something thicker to keep with the GW "massively oversized weapon" concept of the Goliaths and Thunderfires.  Should be pretty impressive when done!

Pretty good. It will be bigger than the original, but you should remember that Epic war machines are downsized to make them cheaper (or at least that?s the only explanation i can figure out). And about the hints:

- You should put those sponsons at top of the sides. If you want some inspiration, search for pre-dreadnaught ships photos, like this:

-I would not put infantry over the land train, as it will make it look out of scale with the rest of the vehicles (or at least that?s what i think)

Keep the good work!

It is a good Idea, sorta what I was thinking, but I think I have to agree with Zap, It is a little too big...but cool :)

Perhaps starting with 1/144th scale tanks rather than 1/72nd scale ones might have been better.  I might even try that one day....never did like the original Land Train much.  Thanks for the inspiration :)

Looks nice, but it would look better if there was some kind of superstructure around the guns.
