During the last few days I have been busy throwing together an idea I have been musing about for a while. Many moons ago I bought one of the very old small steam tanks to use as the heart of a skaven rat tank. That didn’t happen and later I bought a plastic steam tank hull to for the same project and I never got around to doing a rat tank again. The parts lingered in the basement until the new war altar kit came out and it looked great except that the griffin on top made it look very top heavy. So I struck on the idea of sticking it on the back of a steam tank.
So I through together the engine and cannon from the old metal mini-stank, added that to the plastic hull, and placed the podium over the hatch (which I will magnetize later. I added magnets to the bottom of the griffin and put a piece of steel inside the steam tank ceiling so it latches on well. The magnets will allow me to swap them out to place the steam tank turret on instead in order to use it as a steam tank. I have to dig up the old engineer from the mini tank to place inside the turret and then I will prime it all up for my painting project for the month.
Oh, the shields on the side (since I didn’t buy them when I got the hull) are from the knight kit and from the banner things in the war altar kit.
