WH40K - Project Bull Grox - Baneblade Wrecker / Recovery Vehicle

Clarifying my ideas for a Baneblade Wrecker (or recovery vehicle, engineering vehicle, etc.)

- Baneblade chassis

- Large dozer blade on front from toy construction equipment.

- Large crane, offset to right hand side of turret, also from toy construction equipment.

- Smaller, twin dozer blades on rear of hull (thanks to http://www.thewarstore.com/)

- Sponsons replaced with mechanical manipulator arms, made from old Defiler legs. Claws on arms to be enlarged versions of Servitor type gripping arms.

- Manipulators mounted on rails to slide forward or back, along side of hull.

===>--[===== (probably too hard to make them actually slide on the model, might have to stick them in place and paint 'shiny' steel where the grease and paint has been worn away by 'moving parts')

- Larger version of demolition gun for, well, demolition work

- Stabilisers for sides of vehicle, also from construction equipment (hull of donor toy truck to be used as beaten up scenery).

- Considering side turrets or manipulator arms with flamers for clearance / anti-personnel use.

- Considering autocannon as 'coaxial' weapon to crane.

- Heavy stubber on turret hatch.
