What’s better than a tank? THE BIGGEST OF THE TANKS! With 8th edition, Chaos can finally take the mighty Mastodon and Jason couldn’t wait to add it to his Death Guard forces…
My original plan was to pick this up to add to my Armies on Parade display last November, but I wasn’t able to finish the board AND the tank in time so instead, I opted to have it ready for this year’s epic Yearhammer battle (a multi-day Apocolapse game with the Brookhammer crew). It transported a bunch of troops and two dreads and one-shot a Land Raider, but then died to TONS of Imperium shooting.
To be honest, building it was a HUGE pain in the ass. Lots of warped components led me to just glueing in the front and back access doors. When glueing together the side weapons, I accidentally glued the heavy flamer one backwards so had to do some cutting to make it work (probably didn’t really notice did you?).
Either way, had a great time painting this kit and it’s one of my favourite paint jobs for my growing Death Guard army.

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
Awesome! Nice green and the right amount of weathering for the DG. Looks great!
Thanks so much!
Pretty cool model and stunning paint job.
I just wonder why they designed the track sections this way. It looks like they stitched a Land Raider and Sicaran together.
Thanks so much! The track sections are just massive chunks of resin. Had to buy some clamps to keep it together while the glue dried.
Great work with the paints 🙂
Question:
Picture #6, from the rear; is the left track a bit bent?
It looks a bit off-center although not by much.

Thanks!
Yeah, the track sections are massive chunks of resin. I tried to bend them back as straight as I could but they were pretty warped. When it's on the table you can't tell, but looking straight on in photos you see it.
Alright =)
Was not meant to be mean about it.
It just looked a little bit off 🙂
I will have that in mind when i assemble my Valdor in the future. Although those tracks are minimal compared to what you had 🙂
Great work with it once again, top notch! 😀

No worries at all! Good luck building the Valdor and thanks again for commenting 🙂
awesome paintjob. The only thing I would have changed is the marine in the cupola. I have some kind of plague marine or at least someone without a plume in mind
I had thought about the same thing, but I used a similar marine in my rhinos and my main marine force are the same pre-heresy look so I wanted to keep it consistent. Cheers!
Spot on with this write-up, I really assume this website needs rather more consideration. I’ll in all probability be again to learn way more, thanks for that info. mgm online casino
