Second Bloodhound

Sorry for the long delay - I have been very busy. Below is the first of a series of vehicles I recently built. It's a second Imperial Bloodhound. I have gotten better at building these and this one is more symmetrical than the other and the driver's seat is much more natural looking.



I used a part of the dozer blade holder and the little piece of armor from the land speeder to provide a bit of protection for the driver.


Here are the "twins" next to each other. As you can see, the guy on the left is definitely safer when then bullets start flying.

Not easy to tell from this angle, but the first one on the right is a little crooked compared to the second one on the left.

One of the parts I am most happy with is the way the rear turned out. The one on the right is the new Bloodhound and the one on the left is the old one. It's much smoother than my first attempt.

As always, the rules for the Imperial Bloodhound are available for download on the right.

Warband Rules are Here!!!

Get ready because they are here! The warband rules for Imperial and Chaos forces (Version 1.1) are now available for download in PDF format HERE.

Even More Photos!

Here are some more photos of the Bloodhound - the Emperor's Monster Truck!

GARAGE: Imperial Bloodhound

The Imperial Bloodhound is the main transport used by Imperial warbands on the surface of Pandemonium. It is a highly modified version of the ubiquitous Land Crawler discovered by Arkhan Land. The rules for the Emperor's Monster Truck can be downloaded HERE.

So just to show you that I am not messing around here and am putting my money where my mouth is, here is an image of the main Imperial vehicle. I imagine it is a highly modified Imperial Land Crawler (discovered by Tech Priest Arkhan Land) with enhancements to make it go much faster than normal. This, of course, is probably highly frowned upon by the tech priests - but then Pandemonium is a backwards, backwater world where this sort of breach of the Machine God's mandates go unnoticed.

On a more technical note, this model was designed to be a counterpart to the Chaos Raiders used by chaos forces - fast, with a larger transport capacity and good armor (Front 9 / Side 8 / Rear 8)... well... good armor for a civilian vehicle! It uses gas engines and thrusters just like the ork vehicles in Gorkamorka.

This model was built AROUND a toy monster truck (matchbox, I think). The truck itself is inside the body of the vehicle. The more astute of you all probably recognize the front and rear pieces as being from a Space Marine Land Speeder and the sides are bulldozer blades from the most recent Leman Russ sprue. The wheels and undercarriage are all part of the original toy monster truck. The guys standing on top are made from Imperial Guard and Warhammer Fantasy Empire soldiers.

Sorry for the low-quality photo. Cell phone camera. I will use my digital camera to put up better photos soon.
