Looted Destroyer Tank Hunter

- UPDATED 3 July 2005 - This Destroyer Tank Hunter was recovered on Gryphon III, it's armor penetrated in many areas and the crew mushed.

Big Mek Gooba liked the massive lascannon though, and the overall design appealed to him. He decided it was salvagable, and would make a fine addition to the Konviktz Armored Krumpany. In order to field it at the 2005 orkfest though, he could only devote a couple of hours. This is a quick conversion, we'll revisit it later on.

If you have time, check out the rest of the site too - including the ork army list, and the other conversions.

so 'ere we go!


Bringing it back into the shop...
in its original status.
side damage
This must have been the killing blow.
Two new comlete sides were cut from plasticard.
They were then re-inforced with rivited ribbing.
a new access door was added, and grab rails.
and the sides attached.
Consensous proved the squared off front was ugly, so Gooba cut down the front sides to match the slope of the rig.
In the rear, they were left flat, and a walkway was added.
Next up was a dozer blade. I used the Forgeworld rhino blade as a prototype.
It was attached using a plastic ibeam and the imperial guard dozer attachement (old one)
with the comleted dozer in place, some scenic chain around the gun, and some new control wires...
 
 Next up was adding some decent glyphs
and gubbinz!
I also put a ladder in the back.
and Gooba found the extra-soopa elektrical boosta device
He says it makes tea too....
Everything got primed.
and than the base coat of regal blue on the extra armor and dozer blade.
next, for the worn look, vomit brown, but only along the edges
than olive drab was brushed on, leaving some vomit showing
ove the vomt and olive drab, tin bitz
than a chestnut wash
It's actually not this shiny in real life.
And a better picture with a drybrush of boltgun
 
The big shoota is mounted, as well as a few checks
