Title: Desert Eagles Super Heavy Tank

I have an army called Desert Eagles based off my militray life.
I wnated to do a desert army that was rough and what not.
Not all clean and crisp but dirty and looked like they fought.
I didn't want alot of tanks but I did want alot of infantry like what I did.
Light Infantry desert fighter like in Samalia.

But I did want them to have one tank.

"THE" tank.

A tank to kill all others.
So I created a super heavy main marine battle tank for them.

Here it is

What race is the army? IG? SM? Other? And that's one mean conversion you did right there. Have you calculated the points yet with VDR? And I would estimate the point value to be around 500 or 600 points. :blink:

There Marines.
I just used the new Codex and what not to make them how I wnated them.
And now need to right some good fluff on them.

But marines with desert gear like canteens and alot of gear and stowage on stuff to show they have been on a desert planet and fighting for a long time.

The tank is of course a marines Landraider.
Made into a larger one to fight the Guards Baneblade.
Although mine is larger than a baneblade. ;)

I have it fully VDR'd and it comes to 750pts when I was done with 3 structure points etc.

So ya pretty crazy when you can have baneblades for less.
Darn VDR is not cheap.

Thanks for the input.
:)
