I found this picture while looking for something else and thought that this would be great in any scale.. (Since I play 6mm, 15mm 28mm.)

What are your thoughts?

Angel Barracks makes an articulated armored vehicle in 6mm scale, and Reviresco Miniatures makes several land-trains in that same scale.

I am thinking less Bolo/Ogre sized and more squad.platoon sized carrier.

That looks like it could even be modular – need to take a bigger unit, just add a couple cars, like a train. There would be a limit to how many based on terrain of course, but on the steppe you might hook up 6 or 8 cars to transport an entire platoon….

I could even imagine using the detached cars as emplaced guns…

Nice. Reminds me of a sleeker version of an Epic Squat Land Train. Offspring of a Squat+Cylon+Aliens accident?

Old crow have a modular vehicle that is very configurable with gun turrets armoured and unarmoured segments.

Here is a version of it (image linked from the Hammers slammers: the crucible website)

he has since remastered it and it is available (when I spoke to him in October) in 15 and 28mm.

In 6mm … how's about this > TMP link

That thing reminds me of Dead Reckoning from Land of the dead.

What is the advantage of this sort of vehicle? The segmentations would make weakpoints wouldn't they?

What is the advantage of this sort of vehicle?

Aside from the 'kewl' factor, there's the justification GW had for land trains, used by a noble race that never existed, continuous cross support in treacherous territory.

Oh, and in case you didn't get the memo, Han shot first.

Legion 4, yea I saw that but again, that's bigger then I wanted.

Soldado, PERFECT!!! How did I forget about that… I spent 3 months ordering from Jez this fall and saw this thing many times. I'll have to hit him up for some pics and prices…

And the "Kewl" factor is always a plus!!

Darkrazor08 May 2015 8:56 a.m. PST

How can one order from Old Crow, doesn't seem to be anywhere on his website.

MiniatureReview08 May 2015 10:21 a.m. PST

Moe, that is pretty slick.

Soldado08 May 2015 10:55 a.m. PST

Moe glad to be of assistance.

Darkrazor, you can look at his stuff through the wayback machine

Email him at sales@oldcrowmodels.co.uk

He is honoring the 2012 prices on his website.

I just ordered a three segment version of the Legion vehicle from him and it was the usual no-hassle, great to work with transaction that Jez provides.
