Or maybe it's reminding me to avoid Heresy, a very poor lifestyle choice in the Imperium of Man....
Louis and Dale III have finished our first Warhammer AFV: the Vindicator.
A Space Marine assault gun, it is as unsubtle, over-the-top and fun as the setting itself.
The main weapon is called a "Demolisher Cannon."
And yes, Games Workshop rips of---"is inspired by" historical vehicles. The Vindicator is essentially a Sturmtiger with a bulldozer blade.
And yes, you can click to embiggen the pictures.
Next up: the Predator, a turreted AFV being constructed by yours truly and Elizabeth.
Because, as she pointed out, all of her friends have Warhammer fighting vehicles and she felt left out of this essential feminine Rite of Passage....
And yes, the Predator lif--"took considerable inspiration from" sponson armament on vehicles such as the M3.
For your daughter, may I suggest a Sisters of Battle force? I have a sizable metal army. (GW has recently released plastic figures for them.) They have a few (overly complicated) tank variations. For my back, I have a couple of old school Baneblades.
ReplyDeleteShe has a growing interest in them, and says she would like to get a starter squad. At first, she wanted to have Ultramarines like her brothers. And she's still happy with them, but the idea of the Sisters has a growing appeal. Especially after the 9th Edition cinematic trailer came out.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the hobby stores are a bit hit and miss on the Sisters now. And GW hasn't re-opened their local store yet, which puzzles me.
Then forget the SofBs. Go for the "True" Space Marines and join us with a Blood Angel force.
ReplyDeleteJohn:
ReplyDeleteDante is The Man! And the Sons of Sanguinius are always interesting. "Angels of Death" can drop any day now...
But Louis is a diehard son of Vulkan, and I suspect Tommy is an Imperial Fist in training. Still, I will explain the Blood Angels to Lizzie in more detail.
