Heavy Artillerie Tank Mammut

Next project on my workbench:
tracked heavy artillerie for the Death Korps of Krieg


As You can see itīs very early WIP ( Iīm still sorting out some desigen flaws...)

Not sure if it sould be simmilar to the Basilisk, or something more powerfull.
Itīs a diorama project that will include two of these guns. The first one in traveling position, the second one ready to fire.
There will be also one (or may be two ) support vehicles.
An ammunition carrier, towing some kind of trailer.

Looks like a Stug on steroids....
Based on the Shadowsword kit, yes? The citadel is very similar.

I like that idea...

Nope, will be completely scratchbuild...
Because itīs an artillerie pice, the gun can be elevated (ca. 45-50°) , unlike the one in the Shadowsword.

Big boomstick!

Plasticard for the win on this?

Looking to be a mighty undertaking. Good luck

Oh!
This looks like a brilliant idea.
looking at the rear ramp, it opens one half down, one up? Do you plan to use the upper half like a roof when it's connected to the ammo vehicle?

Oh this has really huge potential.
I'll watch this one closely
Great
Cheers

It is a long range artillery, so why not to include a pivoted turret? The fist scetch reminds me about heavy armored assault gun, not the one supposed to lobe shells from far far away.

If it is long range artillery it needs to be able to raise the barrel to a high angle of elevation. At the moment you have designed a tank destroyer.

I tend to disagree
If you look closely at the sketch, you recon that the roof of the turret is cut quite far back, allowing the gun to be raised very high (once out of the travel lock).
Also, if you look for instance at the Russian PION system, no "very long range" artillery really needs a rotatable turret ....
Pion on Wiki
PION on Enemyforces
...as the shell travels way longer than the gun needs to reposition itself

Cheers

Thank You!

Exactly!
The lower door will also have some kind of build in steps for the crew.

The tank in firing possition will have a complete interior, while the moving one will be more simplyfied.
Because of the shell size, the firing tank will have a roller conveyor to handle the ammunition.


Here are the first pictures

Klaus is right:
gun elevation


Size comparrison with GW Chimerra

I guess itīs big enough to call it super heavy.

Redram, awesome! As for being superheavy, if the Minotaur and the Macalador count, then this should for sure. Can we get some group shots of all you have?

Sure, if You donīt mind the dust...
My "Red Ram" Space Marine chapter:















My Death Korps of Krieg is still very early WIP, just two tanks and a few good man

Ummmmm.....Ouch? Wow!! I love those models!! What do you use them as? Do you still have the plans for your Space Marine Fighter?

Wow, beautiful!

...and that doesn't even go half way to expressing my interest in those Red-Ram Marine vehicles...

I NEED CLOSE UPS!!!

Those tanks are awesome!...and don't get me started on the dropship!

Please...is there any chance of an all-round photo shoot for some of those tanks?

Ok,ok...
I added some new pictures to my introduction

Thank you Redram...they are some awesome tanks and something you should feel very proud of .

I hope you don't mind but I hope to shamelessly copy some of them for my own ends...truly inspirational stuff there .

Redram... awesome army.
The diagram is cool.
But... that last beauty, the ŋGorgon?, is
Keep up the good work.
