Grav-Attack Tank
This article or section is about something oldschool - and awesome. Make sure your rose-tinted glasses are on nice and tight, and prepare for a lovely walk down nostalgia lane. |
The Deodorant Dispenser Land Speeder, later rechristened the Grav-Attack Tank, is a scratch built vehicle made by Rick Priestley back in Rogue Trader era, and published in a 'Eavy Metal article. Whether the deodorant was actually used is a matter of some speculation, but I must say, the result looks fucktastic. Forge World updated its design and brought us its modern day equivalent, the Javelin Attack Speeder, while keeping its minty fresh profile intact.
Protip- If you really want to replicate the original Grav-Attack Tank in exacting detail, you can find all the weapons and miscellaneous parts from TOMY's Zoids model kits: The main gun, side tanks, and radar dish came from the Guysak model, while the three-barreled blaster thingy behind the cockpit came from the top turret of a Zaber Fang.
