This has a few great super heavy tanks and you could make the large aircraft work



LeCacty is right thanks for pointing them out sir I have three all metal superheavy tanks and the rorqual carrier makes a usable gorgon at the same scale. My superheavies are nice chunkie models and really give the impression of being super tanks.

There are plans to expand this range with a few more weapon loadouts plus an accessory set that can be used on all of these models.

Cheers

on the gorgon front, i know it's not the fashionable option but the old GW gorgons aren't awful and should be cheap-ish. They aren't as large as the other options being mentioned here, but the open toped ones aren't minute either if you include the dozer size.

I have all the GW Gorgons Mk. I-III. The Mk.I is a mine sweeper/layer. The II & III, APCs with open top and turret[2 sizes] and Dozerblade ... Both SM1 & SM2 had rules for clearing mines and obstacles. So anything with a dozer blade, etc., or like a lot of Ork and some Chaos vehicles have rollers, claws, etc. can clear mines and obstacles based on those rules. That is how we played it ...

sorry this is a bit late, but having a rummage through the collection today so thought id do a comparison picture

Here are the gorgons in a line up with assorted other super heavies. I'm missing the vanguard/DiD conveyor, but it uses the same track size as can be seen from the profile view of the Novum Dictum at the end (by far the largest of the spread). (missing E40k/SG SHTs i'm afraid :sos )

all of the fan made miniatures shown are probably no longer available

also, note the difference in size between the two FW patterns! (dont often see both in one picture)

The E40k ones fall between the forgeworld and SM2 superheavies in size, with my shadowsword hulls being very close in scale to the Lucius baneblades.

Update:

I ordered some of Vanguard's super heavies to convert to plaguereapers, and they are a great size. I don't know the size of the original Epic baneblades and such, but these definitely are the right size for the fluff!
