Leviathan

[Okidus]

So I fell in love with Bulwarks Leviathan design and decided to steal it. I really like this smaller version since it will fit on an APOC board a little better and it is more easily sotred at home. (http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2009/10/40k-project-log-leviathan.html)

I am mostly finished, I just need to get the turret mounted on top. In all it took me about 7 hours and 100$ for parts (2x Bastions, 2x Baneblade tracks.) This was built entirely using the Bastion kits and BB tracks, with the only exception being a piece of PVC pipe for the DDay.

I am using a Shadowsword hull and cannon in place of the Battle cannon, as it just looks too small.

These pictures are a couple days old, I have since added the Hydra to the top deck, the DDay cannon and some general bits and jazz, similar to Tim Kline's version (http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2009/10/40k-showcase-tim-klines-leviathan.html)

Impressive work. I'd like to see more pictures, when you have them; my one critique would be that in these pictures the front and back are not easily distinguishable but I suspect that will change now the Hydra and cannon are there!

[Vorlon]

Fantastic work! I actually like the separation of the front and rear tracks more than I thought I would. Cant wait to see the final product.

PS. I think it would look great with massive banners hung on each side.

[Gotthammer]

Looking really good! I like how the tracks turned out too.

[Okidus]

Vorlon, great idea. Wher edo you think they should go?
The seperated BB tracks was a toss up, but I think it sort of gives that semi-truck feel. I will connect the two with some cabling. I wanted this to have as little real cutting and conversion as possible, and keep it pretty modular.

After a brief hiatus to finish my Tau army for a 5k APOC, I've returned to this bad boy:

debating on whether or not to add the bb spnsons, what do you guys think? Overkill? Good?

Do I see smoke launchers? How big of smokescreen do you need for this?

And add the sponsons. In the drim darkness of the future there is no such thing as overkill.

Hah! Ya I guess a little cloud would be pointless, maybe they are gas for anyone assaulting ;)

[Lord Inquisitor]

Very nice, can't wait to see this one completed.

[Okidus]

Primed her last night, still need the sponsons.
I am also working on a small diorama tray that fits into the bottome floor, basically the DDay cannon being loaded and some marines and IG arguing over where to shoot =)

I also added a C130 style Howitzer out of the side hatch for some broadside barrage action

Dude.....you are missing the best part, you can't have a leviathan without the pug!
On a more serious note....Great work! Looks awesome!

Wow, man, great job. The idea to use the bastion and baneblade kits is really cool. I may have to borrow that idea in the future, when I have cash for materials. I'll credit the idea to you, of course.

[TSINI]

Ditto commissar lewis, this is a fantastic build!

if i ever win the lotto i'd grab the stuff for one of these in a flash!

to be honest i might get the bits for one of these as soon as i can afford it :D

it just looks so cool!

[Hugz4Genestealers]

Alright, I know this is the modeling thread, but seriously, someone needs to get together some rules for that monstrosity, I'd love to see it in action on an apocalypse table!

[david5th]

Sweet

[Force21]

Awesome!!!



its just screams..."I command ALL!!!"

[Duke]

Just curious, what was the total cost of all this?
