I really like how you blended the tank bits and the spider bits together. It really does look like they just stuck a Leman Russ on the back of a spider.
If i was organising a tournament id 100 percent ok this. Its bigger than a Leman Russ, so youre just disadvantaging yourself really, and its cool as hell with lots of love poured into it
if i knew my opponent had a sweet conversion model like this and did not field it, i would give him shit for weeks. GW official policy in the early 2000s was if its bigger its still playable since you meseasure from the front of the base. and you might make it so you cannot squeeze through the buildings. beautiful models.
Hahaha that’s encouraging, seems like most people are willing to allow it on the field which makes me happy, appreciate my man and thanks for watching!
The colour scheme on the spider is simple yet helps to blend the organic part to the mechanic one. But no base? Unless you have a plan for a lore diorama, I'll give it a try. Keep going!
Hell yeeeeah, and yes no base! The leman Russ and other tanks don’t use a base, so i didn’t bother with this one either (which helps to keep the size ever so slightly smaller too), I’m sure that huge base from the arachnarok will be used for something though 😏 thanks as always my man hope you’re good!
@@leiferickson5602 I know what you mean, up until this army I basically disregard all the rules/regulations but I want this to be semi-game legal eventually so I can play with it instead of just staring at it 😁 hope you’re well though my friend, always glad to hear from you
All the mobility that 8 legs offers, and the firepower to back it up 😁 hope you’re well Cerise, how is little Tabasco doing now that the weathers getting a bit colder?
Hell yeah thank you Jeroen, always appreciated from you my man! This came to me in a dream, or a nightmare I suppose? 😁 ton more ideas like this so a lot more to come!
Dunno what to say except AWESOME and err. ewwww bloody 8 legged freaks (dont like spiders, and i play conan exiles) huge thumbs up. anyone who goes to this much effort should be tournie legal 🤘👍
Thank you my man appreciate it, can’t stand the little buggers in real life but I like this one 😁 agreed, we will appear at a tournament at some point, we cannot be stopped!
Why choose??? I would take on both the ferret AND the mongoose. I will even brag and say that I would take on a gang of them! I would start by tying a ferret into a knot and throw it at the mongoose. I might even tie a mongoose and a ferret together and use them like nunchucks...just to humiliate the remainder of rodent army by beating them with themselves. The arachnitank is awesome! Do you think it can launch silk out its arse like Spiderman? I am thinking it could make web traps or swing in from a tree or tall building.
Hahaha Canuck my man I can always rely on you for some good insight 😁 appreciate it my man, it definitely has arse-launching-silk abilities yes, and we may even see it’s butt silk in effect one day!
As an arachnaphobe I don't think I'm legally allowed to say I like this model So I'll just agree that the damn things have too many eyes and say that you painted/built it all with the correct amaount of creepfactor
I think it would look better if u put a normal ork at the top instead of that tall goblin but maybe u don’t use orks in ur army I never seen ur Chanel before
Yeah no orks in this army I’m afraid, all grots/gretchin/goblins/little green bois who’re overcoming their small size and fighting back against everyone else 😁 thanks for watching though dude
Honestly, if I had a match where someone brought this thing, I'd just say ignore the legs when it comes to measurement and line of sight and you're good to go. Sure, it might be an inch taller than a naked russ... but it's just too flavorful and I think any advantage you gain is negligible. Clearly your intent wasn't to make it taller to game the system
FROM THE MOMENT I UNDERSTOOD THE WEAKNESS OF MY CHITIN, IT DISGUSTED ME.
Lmfao, wasn’t expecting that but I’m glad to see it 😄 thanks for the chuckle dude
IRON WITHIN, CHITIN WITHOUT
I’ve just realised I should’ve named this tank the Arachno-Russ (Arachnarok + Leman Russ). Anyways, $4 a lb.
Widow Russ
I really like how you blended the tank bits and the spider bits together. It really does look like they just stuck a Leman Russ on the back of a spider.
Hell yeah, it was a bit touch and go for a while when I was trying to blend them together, so I’m glad it came together in the end 😁
If i was organising a tournament id 100 percent ok this. Its bigger than a Leman Russ, so youre just disadvantaging yourself really, and its cool as hell with lots of love poured into it
Yeah to be fair I’ve made it into a larger target 😄 appreciate it though bro thank you!
@@SwampRatMiniatures how does it size up to a rogal dorn?
A SCUTTLETANK? THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED AHHH
Scuttletank is actually a great name, might borrow that, glad you like it though dude!!
@@SwampRatMiniatures steal it as much as you like! Awesome kitbash and paintjob as per usual
Really sad, I haven't had your videos landing in my subscriptions or recommended. But I AM BACK! so much content to catch up on
Ahhhh we’ve missed you my dude, hope you’re good and enjoy the vids!
Absolutely amazing. Watching you build this custom army is my most enjoyable WH experience in like 20 years 😅
Ahh man that’s awesome, glad you think so!! Got a ton more units like this to come in the future so hopefully they’ll continue to deliver!
8:06 yes, agreed
I feel like they’re doing it on purpose to harass us, anyway thanks for watching!
An excellent conversion for the holy month of Orktober
Praise da Lork
Somehow, this really does look like one cohesive model. We'll done!
Hell yeah, thank you my dude I appreciate that
Nice Sweman Russ. Next you should make a true scale Swamperator Titan
It’s on the list 😏 although it may be the very last thing that gets built in this army 😁, thanks for watching though!
love it, it looks great and I would fight a ferret because a ferrets are significantly weaker than a mongoose, and good job👍
Hahah thank you dude, think I agree, ferrets are pretty vicious but mongeese (what is the plural of mongoose??) have the power too
Hey their Swamprat! Love the spider tank design and it is probably one of not the most creative tank commanders I’ve seen in a long while.
Hello there my friend! Glad you like it, probably my most ‘out there’ mini I’ve done but I’ve got a bunch more like this planned for the future 😁
Can’t tell if this is heresy, or just plain horror, but I love it!
Hahaha either way is good for me, appreciate it dude!

Sweet build, I'm working on designing a Feral Exodite Eldar Kill Team. Leather, bones, feathers, and fur
Sounds awesome man, would love to see progress on them if you have an instagram?
You never fail to impress
Holy shit this is cool
Really appreciate it my dude!!

@@SwampRatMiniatures My last game was so many years ago that I stop to bother to game purposes! My bad; I'll wait for another lore diorama!

Obviously I'm less likely to lose to a ferret. Me < Cobra
Definitely, but now what beats the mongoose? Honey badger?
I used the same leftover tank parts to make an Orc "Killdozer"
Noice, although games workshop kits can be a bit pricy I do love all the leftover parts they give you, makes stuff like this way more visible!
Cool as hell!!!!! A tank wearing spider would be unstoppable!!! lol ❤😊❤
All the mobility that 8 legs offers, and the firepower to back it up 😁 hope you’re well Cerise, how is little Tabasco doing now that the weathers getting a bit colder?
@@SwampRatMiniatures all is well, thank you 😊
She doesn’t go outside so she has no clue. Very very spoiled!
Hope all is well with you too 😊
@@cerisekappes580 hahaha glad to hear it, a spoiled cat is a happy cat!
@@SwampRatMiniatures absolutely!!
Dude, come on! This is so f-ing cool! How the hell do you come up with these kitbashes?
A perfect 5 out of 7 sir!

@@SwampRatMiniatures oh damn, you have some wild Dreams 🤣. Can't wait to see what you think of next!
Good luck man!
Use it as a bane blade variant🤔 even t he e one that carries troops. Being carried in webs. Ooooh. Love this idea love it 👍
There’s another proper baneblade build planned for the future…😏
Nice painting 😍😍
Thank you my dude much appreciated!
this is awesome man.
Thank you my man, appreciate your support as always!!
Holy fk man that is incredible! Swamperial guard I love it xD
Hahaha thank you J Macc my boy, doing the lords work

Thank you my man appreciate it, can’t stand the little buggers in real life but I like this one 😁 agreed, we will appear at a tournament at some point, we cannot be stopped!
I'd rather fight a ferret personally, I like mongooses too much.
Yeah mongooses are pretty cool to be fair, the great ferret battle of 2024 will be upon us soon

So I'll just agree that the damn things have too many eyes and say that you painted/built it all with the correct amaount of creepfactor
Hahaha I feel you on that, can’t stand them myself but this build just felt right for the army 😁
WHY DO THE SWAMPERIAL GUARD TANKS KEEP VANISHING WHEN YOU START PAINTING THEM!?!?
It’s all part of the swampy guerrilla warfare strategy baby 😉
I think it would look better if u put a normal ork at the top instead of that tall goblin but maybe u don’t use orks in ur army I never seen ur Chanel before

i know this seems like a rude thing to say but the audio of your intro hurts my ears ive been having to skip it i hope it dosent affend u in eny way
Hahaha nah all good dude maybe I need to adjust the volume slightly 😁
