A friend built this tractor for my Quar last year. He had left over pieces from something he'd made for his 40K Imperial Guard. This is the hull from a Warlord Churchill tank and the turret from a Toonkrieg KV2. I just needed to add a commander's cupola. I had some closed hatches left over from my
Toonkrieg Centurions that I had acquired way at the start of the Quar madness.
It looks a lot like a variation of a Baeliog, so I'll probably treat it as such.
The turret fits nicely with the hull and moves easily. The main gun and the MG in the back of the turret actually move as well.
It took me a year to decide which army to assign it to, which would determine the camouflage scheme, and then to find the hatch in the drifts of
stuff shifting around the Basement o'Gaming. Then winter settled in before I could take it outside to spray prime.
I almost gave it to the Gloam-Hyyn. I think it'd look splendid in the same jungle camouflage. But it is a bit
big to be in a jungle. The Tollyn-Maeryn needed some tractor support to come out of the trenches. And everyone else has tractors of assorted flavours already. So I didn't need to think too long about where it went. It'll look great taking on Chyweethls and Alitheans too.
The colours are Vallejo
German Field Grey, and Vallejo
German Camouflage Brown, and Americana
Neutral Gray. Tracks are black with a silver drybrush and then a dark khaki drybrushed over that and up onto the fenders.
