i kitbashed a russ tank for my penal guard army, and made this monstrosity. Turret is from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4255699 Body is from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2804017 "The Pattern 'Bargain Bin' has been a mainstay for the desperate and the foolish, made from old tractors, scrap metal, and hope; this tank can barely classify as one, with the gun turret being it's only saving grace." Ever since the communications line to hiveworld Facto-Mechan has been lost, Palnetum-26 has been forced to retrofit it's civilian craft factories into factories of war; manufacturing weapons and armor for it's defense. The pattern 'FRM-TNK' is one of the fruits of this endeavor. The base of this tank is based on the 'FRM-TRK' pattern tractor, originally intended to be used in agricultural purposes, now made to haul cargo due to the lack of paved roads. The 'FRM-TRK' pattern has been reinforced with scavenged naval armor plates, as well as any suitable plates scavenged from the battlefields of [REDACTED], completely enclosing the cabin. The retrofitting used the tractor's cargobed to store another engine, working in tandem with it's original engine in order to be able to run more than 4mph. Lastly, it has been fitted with salvaged turrets, with the options to arm the 'FRM-TNK' pattern with the appropriate gun cannon, as needed by it's situation. New additions to the hull are slots where additional firepower in the form of Machinegun turrets, flamers, and other such armaments have been made available by simply cutting additional holes in the hull.- Reports from administratum inspector Innis Pektar, after investigating the origins of the FRM-TNK pattern tank. "Beats being shot to full of holes, really. The damn things effective as spit at putting out a fire, but its better than having no armor. It grows on you like a bad mold."- Tank Commander Su'ur Vivah, Veteran of the Palnetum-26 invasion defense force. scaled for 28mm, more or less. (Whole parts + seperated STLs included)
