That's the turret. It will sit more centrally on the hull, but it will not rotate. (It will in game terms, but the modelling is too complex for me to make it work on the actual plastic kit.)
I added a demolition gun mount to the hull, for the two glacis mounted battlecannon:
I was not sure whether to use long barrelled or short barrelled battlecannon for these weapons. I have now decided to use short barrels. They will be within the length of the tracks, making this behemoth look slightly more compact. This will also leave me the third and fourth long guns for modification of a pair of Leman Russ tanks. Perhaps the long barrels would look good on a 'tank hunter' variant, with no turret. I don't know - two Baneblades are enough for me.
I also decided I didn't like the single suspension arrangement of the front rollers. It seems to me that the first sharp turn would tear a wheel and half the tracks off. So I have decided to beef up this with parts from one tank. The Bull Grox will have a shorter track arrangement (the tracks are segmented in straight lines, making it much easier to cut them neatly. Good thinking Games Workshop!). Also, the Bull Grox will have dozer blades and manipulator arms, hiding the change to the front suspension.
Lastly, I blanked off the 'shrines' in the engine plating. (Personal preference.)
