Can't seem to find any pics of the old rat tank conversion. I was planning on making my own rat tank with the plastic steam tank and wanted to see how the warpfire thrower was done on the old one. Any of you packrats keep old pics around? And for that matter, has anyone made their own rat tank with the new steam tank?

Rat-tank with rules. Not the best but the only picture of the original GW rat-tank that I know of.

Cool. Even looked at that site and somehow missed that (stupid mobile browsers). :P

Hmmmm....I think I'm looking more for the 6th edition update of that, which is closer to the plastic steam tank design.


edit: Blurry pic found of someone's conversion.

That's great! So you mostly just used parts from the basic model as is for weaponry then went all out with the decoration? Do you have a log or WiP shots showing that before the paint by chance?

Wow, this is a cool little conversion, I believe I will have to make one, totally scratch built of course.

Just trawling around the web I found a few cool ideas for steamtanks:

I like the idea of making it slightly like a ship, with an open top so the operators aren't trapped inside a stinking tank filled with warpstone.

possibly the best steamtank I've ever seen, it'd make the sweetest doomwheel too:

mutate: this pic now links to the company who make this

I'd say base it on bits and pieces stolen from the enemy. Skaven are scavengers so it makes sense when you see things thrown together from as many sources as possible.

How do they rise up?

Glod has nothing. :ph43r:

What sorts of things? I'd be interested in hearing about them so I can thieve the ideas before I make my own rat tank. My spare WLC and tank parts just arrived in the mail, so I should be starting on it soon.

So you can steal my ideas :P ha ha, just joking
I would make the base much more cool, use alot of giantrats, skulls and mudd.
Use another skavenmodel or maybe just do some small convertions on him.
add alot of wires to the back of the tank.
really just let my mind go crazy, thats normally what I do :P
