Ok, who makes tanks and arty like the drawings in the Colonial Marines Tech Manual?

I know Khurasan and Antenociti make APCs, but I'm looking for a bit of heavier support than Dropship+APC.

I would with something like the Khurasan Miniatures Medium tracked tank below for the Colonial Marines M22 Jackson tank, just find alternative angular main gun barrel.

I've been thinking about the same thing!

What about the Merka from Rebel Mins:

Or, just a plain old Merkava tank.

Darn if that illustration doesn't look just like the Bengal MBT from DLD Productions.

If you mean like the ones below, only DLD did something very close to the pictures. Many other good tanks, but the DLD ones were almost spot on.

Or, just a plain old Merkava tank.
Turret is too far forward for the M22, M34, or M40.

(Note that the M34 picture isn't in the new release of the tech manual. It's the only difference that I've found between the two releases!)

I'd remembered that DLD was said to make the closest, but as long as DLD is out of production…

No reason you can't move the turret to the rear, with just a little work on the Merkava hull.

Can I get one in 28mm?

Keep your powder dry 'till you see what Antenociti are going to do.

tanks (Jackson/Ridgeway) and arty to follow soon (I'm told)

Love the look of that vehicle, and the scorpion emblem is a very nice touch, too.

John Treadaway21 May 2013 1:21 a.m. PST

Glad you spotted the scorpion Mako! It's easy to lose small decals in te camo and the dirt!

Yup, the Jackson the Ridgeway and the M292 are in the pipe for F.A.T.C.

I believe that Jed is due to finish the 3D work this week for passing over to be printed by FATC.

(however he is off ill atm so there may be a minor delay)

Oh, alright! Not like I wasn't going to have another order or three for more 28mm stuff anyway…
