Now that GW have given us cheap Super Heavies the chance to scratchbuild something huge is even easier

So in addition to the well known ones what other ideas are out there and how do you see them?

Ideas, sketches, real world examples - anything we can share around

ARTILLERY - One huge gun, or a cluster of 3 Earthshakers

VULCAN - If a Macharius can have a Mega bolter then a BB chassis can easily take one - and some more weapons in addition

AA - Twin Hydra style turrets, or something missile base - large turret with 2 drum fed misslie launcers like the Epic Hunter

TRANSPORT - An alternative to the Gorgon

COMMAND - Big radar and Coms array

Well you've mentioned one I'm working on, a Turret with 4 earthshakers, counts as barrage template.

I can't see the point of hydra turrets, I'd go for beefed up hydra as a super heavy with twin airshakers, that would look awesome!

I haven't seen the Epic Hunter, will go and hunt that down...

All I've ever found on the Hunter is on the GW site

and a bit here

never seen a 40k conversion

i've always fancied an ad-mech recovery vehicle with a large crane instead of the turret and other assorted mech gubbins stuck on

I like the idea of a super heavy recovery vehicle.

Not so taken by the idea of a command tank though - I know it's bigger but I think the Leviathan covers it.

Super heavy tunneller might be an idea. Or what about some kind of siege engine, with huge mine plow, and giant bunker busting weapons?

Well they have a super heavy tunneller at WHW, got me thinking about a Hunter now, I have the turrets good enough to match it...

Agree about the Command, converted baneblade would work, Wills GK conversion has a raised deck which would do the role.

Might look at a Super Heavy Recovery in Admech colours, really would look the part in a Battlegroup, otherwise it would take three Atlas's to tow the buggar!

MISSILE - Twin/Tripple Hellstrike, huge Manticore

RECON - Drone/UAV launcher, though this could be part of the command tank

DESTROYER - Turretless Superheavy Tank Hunter, a bit redundant with the existing designs, but I like the image

I love the drone issue, it could be launched and give you direct line of sight scatter even when indirect, great idea

A giant hydra with 2 twin earthshakers!? Sounds like a plan, batman. Just what one needs for dealing with those pesky thunderhawks.

Rocket artillery (apocalypse launcher!) and giant recovery vehicle sound good. As does the command one. . . a bit more sensible than a leviathan, really. Kinda like a gian salamander command vehicle. . .

Hmmm, could be onto something here. . .

Dave out.

I like the giant Manticore idea, kind of like a small death strike, 3 or 5 missiles in a M or upside down Y formation. one use each.

Rules could be a cluster munition analouge, use the barrage template, 4 or 5 "bomblets" something like S8/AP3.

Hmmm.

I'm loving the idea of a Mechanicus recovery vehicle.

But what I really want to do is have a Baneblade so thoroughly corrupted by Tzeentch that it's entire hull is covered in shifting horrors...
