The BrikWars Forums

I've been working on this on my spare time, which has been getting less & less. I have it's basic frame & shape down. I just need to work on weapon details and some greebling here & there.

This bad boy right now carries 4 large plasma cannons, which will spew hot burning love to all on the battle field. And I am still going to add some heavy missile racks to her later.







Since she is bigger than my previous tanks, her tracks are able to pivot so she'll be able to keep steady over rough terrain.




The back will get more detail.




To scale from my other armor.



The inside. It has a crew of 2, plus 6 troopers right now. I think can move them around to fit a max of 10, but I might settle for 8. Also there's a deployment door on either side.




C & C of course, hope you like it.

Sexy.

This is awesome, but I will agree that it so far lacks the detail that your other works have.

You know what I reccommend? Either trans green or trans light blue crap all over those plasma guns, and then tons of tubes. Everyone knows that plasma guns have transparent parts where the lazors shoot through.

next you need to go bigger and make a super heavy battle tank, like twice the size of this one!

That thing amazes me, nicely done. Though it could be equipt it with nukes instead of plasma cannons.

and it's gotta have a couple of Irwins with trans-blue tubes on all four equator studs.

Thanks, yeah I need to get more tubes though. I thought they sould be enclosed, don't plasma cannons fire superheated plasma held together by a magnetic field?

I was working on one before, it was about 2 decks with a troop capacity of 12, w/small vehicle. Then I kind of lost interest when I couldn't decide on what I wanted on the top deck, and then got unhappy with the design.

awesome tank, hot plasma death always sounds good (for the other team) don't for get an anti fighter turret. or build a flack tank either one. or fighters will be your bane

Actualy, I do have a micro nuke missile rack, but that's only to be mounted on SHIPs.

I'm kind of blanking at the moment, what piece is the "Irwins"?

Yeah I remember. That's what the missile racks will be for.....

Trash it then make a Siege Tank from Star Craft with its parts.

I was kind of modeling the tank in Halo when I built her. OOOHHH..... The siege tank would be fun, I think I can build one with the parts from my light tank. (I scrapped one of them for the HSV)




*Edit: Than = Tank

for a top deck i would just put machine gun turrets.

wow it's a tank and an apc too nice

Amazing, as usual.

To be honest though, I think you have a lot of troop carriers. I know that you have a lot of troops, but every single one of your tanks besides the MBT can hold soldiers. Since this is a support vehicle, I don't see why it should carry more soldiers than your carrier tanks have. Get rid of the extra space for the soldiers and make some missile racks that come out of the sides or the top right in front of those plasma cannons. They would fold down into the body where the soldiers are now.

Still very cool though.

I actually really like this one as a troop transport, but agree that it's not really a "support" unit if it's on the front lines. I can totally see this thing ramming through a wall of defenses that an enemy might have, and getting the opening hatches within the breach and pouring out a squad.

Yeah, but it looks a whole hell of a lot cooler with electricity arcing all around the cannon, and visible charged gas chambers. Your goal should be to create a fluorescent light tube mixed with equal measures of cannon and cocaine.
