Sci Fi Tank on the Cheap

 I found a pretty cool looking U.S. Abrams style tank at the Dollar Tree.  I started to wonder what could I do to modify it into something more futuristic that I could use in WH40K, Weird War, or other Sci Fi  battles.  

The answer to my question was also in the Dollar Tree.  The had some action figures that had separate sets of accessories that they also sold.  I could use these to turn the tank into something a little more menacing for the dark wars of tomorrow.

A can of gray primer/paint, a tube of Super Glue, a few odds and ends from the workbench, and some leftovers from the bits box and presto:  One Amazing Futuristic Battle Tank.

I called it a Kriegshund (War Dog or Hound of War).  It's a lightly armored, heavily weaponized, and
highly mobile tank.  It has 1 main battle cannon, 1 assault cannon mounted on the right side of the turret, one set of twin missile launchers mounted to the left side of the turret, and 3 twin assault guns ( 1 on top and 1 on each side of the main body).  This canine has both bark and bite. I plan on making 2 more so I have a complete litter.  Check out the pics below.  I hope you like my new puppy!
