A guest blog by SoCal's greatest converter of 40K models.
From Greg Teeuwen:
In several IA books, this particular tank is mentioned, but there are no images of it.
I'm a big arty/template player, and I love blowing stuff up, so this particular tank appealed to me. Without pictures, it enticed me further, since much of my hobby happiness comes from scratchbuilding or kitbashing the vehicles I need/want. I've been doing a lot of Orky stuff the last couple years, so I decided to make one of these for my Imperial Guard army.
The basis of my model was a WWI "Female" tank in 1/35 scale. I only had the body, so the rest (tracks, crew cabin, and the triple bombard itself) was all scratchbuilt.
I went one step further and made this tank modular- not just the main weapon, but also the sponson mounts. I not only like the Dominus, but I also like the Infernus and the Macharius Omega. Oddly enough, the Omega does not have any imagery either, so that's an extra boon for me. At this particular time, I am gearing up for a big fight, so I got as far as the Dominus and Infernus mods, but have yet to start the Omega.
Oh, the last couple pics of the arty pieces are just "extra goodies". As I prepare for the big fight on June 1 in Rancho Cucomunga, I decided I needed some supporting arty. I have shelves of extra bits, and i had two Basilisk barrels (just the barrels and shields, but nothing else), so I scratchbuilt some Earthshaker platforms.
