Mantic Games Show Concept Work For Forge Father Tanks In Warpath
June 15, 2015 by brennon
Mantic Games have put together a few pieces of concept art showing off more of what's coming to Warpath. This time the focus swings to the Forge Fathers and some rather epic looking vehicles; the Forge Father Tank & APC...
As you can see these vehicles are seriously brutal looking. They appear to have the same type of chassis but with additional options tagged onto the front of it and elsewhere too.
The tank comes with a rather large gun on the top and a HUGE dozer blade which is going to deflect incoming firepower and push all of your enemies out of the way. The APC is a little more subtle but it still keeps that forward thinking 'go forward and don't stop' mentality which I like.
What do you think of these new creations?

Very cool: original, and even in the sketches they look functional. It would be nice to see the drive sprocket and idler off the ground, but maybe that will still happen.
Yeah .its suspension might be a little weird with that configuration
looks great!! been looking forward to seeing what the vehicles of Warpath would look like
Suspension aint going to matter when the front of the vehicle is that low your going to get stuck alot. I been in a craav when its dozer blade has dug in the ground, 60 odd tonne of vehicle stopping dead is painful.
Yup, they could stand to lift that front end up a bit so that doesn’t happen. I buried an APC in some bad terrain once and got my brainpan rattled on the periscope… ouch.
Then again, if people were at all concerned with even a smidgen of realism, 40k wouldn’t exist.
Great art, but that’s only worth so much.
Will the final – final – model be as good quality + fit together?
Will it be to scale i.e. can we imagine X amount of models fitting inside? (unlike GW’s efforts…)
Would need to see one painted at the moment the APC looks like the Thunder Tank Thunder Cats

I like how the front is reminiscent of a forge father helmet. And that tank robot from captain power and the soldiers of the future.
Oh God I’m going to lose a lot of money when this kickstarter launches.
Sigh…….sorry wallet I need to get lots of Forge Father stuff. Looks really nice. I hope to see lots of awesome stuff from the Warpath kickstarter like this. Even if my wallet hates me.
like the top one looks like a siege/blockade buster tank?
