Hi all,
the Administratum Terra have their first Epic vehicle, the Asministratio Tributus, which loosely means 'tax manager' - or collector! It's the only way to ger feral orks to pay their taxes. This is my Open competition entry (which managed to get all of 4 votes *sigh*).
Here's a few more pics of the beastie. No prizes for guessing the chassis it is based on.

I really like the concept and think this is a really nice execution.
I would not be worried about the "4" votes, the Open Category had some very strong entries, and therefore to get "any" votes should be seen as a positive vindication on the quality of the paint job (it was a painting competition).
Personally I think the model could do with skirts to hide the large wheels and ensure that there are no large flat surfaces, think Capital Imperialis and you may ss what I am getting at.

Yeah, I really like the concept of the model too- its a very classic Rogue Trader/Adeptus Titaniucs sort of idea....
I would quite fancy building one myself, were I not so busy already!

mmmm....better to use it to squish the Feral Orks, unless you have figured out the exchange rate for ork 'teef'.
Nice work Van!

I think its a novel concpet and very nice indeed. Not sure what use it is one the table, but that has never been a serious consideration for modelling!
Pretty sure I was one of your 4 fans actually!
