Roll Out The Heavy Armour From CNC Workshop & Their Conquerer
June 2, 2015 by brennon
CNC Workshop have added another rather super heavy tank to their line-up of vehicles. The Conquerer III Heavy Tank looks like it's armed with some very, very, very deadly plasma-type cannons that will be melting other vehicles into slag.
I'm assuming that the strange spelling of Conquerer is on purpose but regardless it is a very nice looking vehicle indeed. It has big meaty tank tracks, nice thick armour and some guns that look like they could blow something to pieces with ease.
Just what you want for your armies of the far future!
What do you think of it?

Looks a good kit. “Plasma” cannons look interesting, not sold on their style, but overall a nice looking vehicle.
What scale is it supposed to be? Just had a look on the website, and the dimensions make it too small for 28mm, too large for 6mm or 10mm. Is it for a particular game? It looks like a GW superheavy ‘counts as’ type of thing, but isn’t the right scale to be of any use to 40K or Epic players.
Looks nice though.
I think it is 28mm. It’s a fair bit bigger than a Rino/Predator. You could proxy it for any of the smaller imperial tanks.
Not quite sure why someone would down vote me for asking about the scale!
I agree, I think you could proxy it for any of the smaller imperial tanks. Although as this does look a lot like the baneblade and other superheavies (which in my book is a good thing) it’s a shame it’s not the same size as them.
Corrected. Might be that people get tired of the GW crowd pondering whether it would be useful in the 40k world, rather than evaluating the vehicle on its own merit.
I suppose so, but if you design something that looks as though it’s been consciously designed to look very like a GW figure then it’d be odd if people didn’t compare it to the original.
Personally I have no problem with other companies making ‘counts as’ figures. Some do it well, plenty don’t. I like original stuff too of course.
just upvoted to help maintain balance in the universe. Too right, was a sensible enough question. Would look nice alongside some of Anvil Industry’s stuff I think…
There are some Size comparison pics on our facepage. I use them as Leman russes, albeit propper, heavy tank sized.
It’s 28/32mm scale, just like eveything else we do currently.
oh. and Thanks Beasts of War for the free plug, Very much appreciated.

Its amazing what you can do with laser cut MDF
The Chassis looks good, but i’d probably swap out the sponson mounted hair dryers
Aw! But then what are your troops supposed to do without their armored battlefield mobile hair salons?
lol
You can’t properly wedge the vehicle between trees if you don’t have sponsons! Things outside the tracks tend to get ripped off. I remember, back in the day, that a young officer got it into his head to hang our rucksacks off the side of our M113. After a kilometer of brush bashing even the frames were gone lol.
…that’s officers for you – keep them away from the maps!
wait what? thats MDF?
and here I was going to slag it off for being a A: storm/death/etc B: blade/hammer/etc (choose one from list A and one from list B to make your super heavy tank name of the day) knockoff,
…awesome!
…and for a third of the price.
It certainly is possible to make vehicles out of MDF; this company in Australia (I think it’s the same material)
https://www.miniaturescenery.com/CategoryPage.asp?CODE=CAT_VH
has some pretty cool stuff as well.
err Fleetey… you know that’s the same company?
But looking through it they do have a really cool not a ‘drop pod’
Sorry! I blame the cold / flu thing I seem to have been hit by, courtesy of my wife who has given me very little sympathy (she even had the cheek to blame our little girl).
that looks good.
