I had this Sturmtiger that I picked up in a sale.
Enter a kitbashed Malcador for my Renegades of Vrak Army.
I put a couple of tank riders on for versimilitude.
I prefer plastic models to resin as they are easier to store.

The lines of the Sturmtiger really match the blockyness of 40k, don't they? The weathering is particularly nice on the front picture where I can see some reflection from the metallic paint. Do you use the sponge method to represent paint chipping away?
ReplyDeleteYou have a neat looking model! Only drawback is the Malcador has sponsons standard; you have to take them, the choice is what weapons to put in them. Are going to VDR the sponsons out?
ReplyDeleteWith its blocky superstructure you could do the Defender variant with the many heavy bolters quite nicely.
Dear Rabidchild,
ReplyDeleteYah, I used the sponge trick. German WWII tanks do have the right 'brutal' Guard look.

High Anon,
ReplyDeleteInstead of two heavy bolters in sponsons with 180 arc, I use one on the roof with 360arc. I reckon that is equivalent. The tank riders are just decoration.

Love it. The model fits perfectly with the 40K universe style of tank, and I really like the large armour plates along the sides. Fantastic work :)
ReplyDeleteEr, that's not a Sturmtiger, that's the Sturmpanzer IV 'Brummbar' assault gun :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be using three of those, suitably converted, to count as Medusas as part of my Traitor Guard of Nurgle...
