The Emperor's Hammer (Basilisk Proxy)

thingiverse

This is a remix of Mkhand_Industries' "Epic Scale Griffon Mortar Carrier v3" and "Epic Scale Armageddon Pattern Basilisk SPG". The project also includes resized ladder and artillery shells from outofstep's "Interstellar Imperial Army - Cockatrice", along with the creation of a spent artillery casing. At present, it is scaled for Epic 40k and designed to serve as a Basilisk proxy. The model breaks down into two main parts: the Chimera chassis and the Earthshaker cannon. To scale it appropriately for use in 28mm Warhammer 40k - which will be its new application - I recommend up-scaling the model by 513.75%. I hope you all enjoy this creation, and please share any pictures of your prints! In 433.M40, Krieg, a once-loyal Imperial world, declared independence from the Imperium and rejected the glory of the God-Emperor. At that moment, everything changed forever. Colonel Jurten, commander of the 83rd Krieg Imperial Guard regiment, gathered all those still loyal to the Imperium and struck back against the rebellion by unleashing atomic bombardment upon those who had forsaken the Emperor. During a five hundred standard year civil war that followed, the Imperial loyalists realized they needed mobile artillery support during the vicious trench warfare on Krieg's irradiated surface. The result was the Emperor's Hammer. The Earthshaker cannon is mounted in a re-purposed Chimera chassis to form the Emperor's Hammer. Due to its simplicity, the Emperor's Hammer was mass produced by the Imperial loyalists of Krieg. Some leftover models still see deployment on the battlefield by Death Korps of Krieg regiments, despite never being approved by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
