An Update On The Impressive Project ShadowStug!
October 11, 2013 by brennon
Project ShadowStug has been going from strength to strength and we've got another update for you on the progress for both the ShadowStug and the Toroton Super-Heavy...
This mighty tank can currently be assembled as a Baneblade, Hell Hammer, Shadowsword, Stormlord, Banesword, Stormsword, Bane Hammer, Doom Hammer and Stormblade. That's quite a lot of variants including the throwback to the Pz Kpfw IV and the ShadowStug itself.
All of the turrets are removable and interchangeable allowing you to add on their extras like the massive aerial and targeting system too. The second of the tanks comes in the form of the Toroton which is based on the British A39 Tortoise from World War II.
This one's being created by Matthew Davis and features a rather large cannon right on the front! Right now it's being molded to fit the shape of the A39 and while there is a lot more work to do it is coming along nicely. Below is an image of the tank it's going to be based on...
As well as the tanks they are also working on bringing together a host of infantry too thanks to Dreamforge Games that will take the form of an Imperial Guard Platoon. They are also looking to add in some Chimeras and Halftrack APC vehicles if they get enough donations!

And it will all be coming to a head at Salute next year!
Don’t forget the Zimmerit and maybe some concrete
Can’t be a Stug as the model still has a turret, need to lose that, at the moment it looks like a PzIVH, – not as cool as a Stug.
I thought that the gun compartment looked fixed in the photos and was therefore a self propelled gun
I think they’re doing 2 a stug and a panzer iv
Top one defiantly a Panzer IV
I like the Tortoise conversion its one of those unknown tanks that was made during WW2… a proper line smash/ breakthrough tank …
Stug sounds cool to see
Hi Guys, ShadowStug hull is still WIP and will be unveiled in December (Hopefully) the Pz IV variant is the most complete so i wanted to show it off, it now also has Zimmerit sculpted to it using liquid greenstuff.
I am posting the full Project Update on My Blog and The Internation Brotherhood of Hobbyists blogs this weekend.
Thank you for your support and comments, please remeber you can influence the project yourself via our facebook page
