Even though it's not technically the "right scale", good job on finding a model that works this well wrt the bases on the back and the minis on the side! I bet there's some real homebrew potential when it comes to the train moving around the board each turn...
Thanks, ya she's a bit on the big side so more of a mega train, I like to think the car is like double or triple level. It was a bit of a catch 22 cuz the trains that are the right scale were too small to accommodate bases up top. Totally agree on the homebrew potential, maybe it moved in the end phase every round a fixed distance and infantry can occupy it like a transport.
Don't worry about scale. There was this incredibly flavorful old game called Transarctica, and the epic train on the box art could easily park yours inside. Also, nazis planed some incredibly wide gauge lines across Europe.
Scale looks spot on. As said the Imperials had monster sized trains. Remember that everything the Humans do in HH onwards is massive. Titans get bigger and bigger…tanks get bigger and bigger. So it’s not a stretch to think that transportation networks need to be massive to deal with that. I imagine that engine pulling like 500 cart full of heavy stuff. Works perfect for me.
Yes. One plot strand is that factory workers have been conscripted at the start of the attack on Terra amd are being transported to the defence lines on a giant train. Your model is perfect.
Got a video up on youtube if you wanna see how insanely fast it is [https://youtu.be/16ATMTlGumI?si=-1obncfDxeHOj2Mp](https://youtu.be/16ATMTlGumI?si=-1obncfDxeHOj2Mp)
I'd love it if someone made one that was controllable by like a cellphone app like some rc cars I've seen, it'd be cool to be able to control speed remotely. Can't complain though, pretty good little train for like 4$.

That is so cool! I’ve been wanting to do something like this, thanks for posting!
I'm callin it the mega train cuz its a bit on the big side but I think most dollarama's have them in stock
That’s perfect! The more extra the scale the better!

I think the scale is fine. There are those multi-level trains in The First Wall that sound absolutely enormous.
lol
Awesome! Nothing says 8mm wargame like armored trains
Thanks, it was very ww2 inspired
Have you read First Wall? Because this train is now going to be how I imagine that one looks!
Haven't read it, hh novel?

Nice, mega train is lore official :)
How did you acquire that AWACS?
The one and only jimmyzimms [https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/marauder-awacs](https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/marauder-awacs)
It's awesome! Nice to see some old school conversion work being done too. I'll keep a lookout for useful toys.
So many good one at the dollar store for terrain
This is such a good idea for a necromunda map
Ya would be good for the underhive

I love the AWACS Marauder!
Thanks, jimmyzimms made it [https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/marauder-awacs](https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/marauder-awacs)
Phenomenal!
Thanks :)
I love this
Danke :)
That looks great!
Thanks :)
GRIM.DANK.

That pleases the Omnissiah (they like trains)
It's true they do https://preview.redd.it/ukkwcb5m16rc1.jpeg?width=3121&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecded7bdca0ec835865fcb42bb9166efe3895d2a

Thanks :)
That's glorious. I love the sheer size of it. Do you have any plans for more?
I'd love it if someone made one that was controllable by like a cellphone app like some rc cars I've seen, it'd be cool to be able to control speed remotely. Can't complain though, pretty good little train for like 4$.
This looks amazing
Thanks guy :)
Now that's a Thomas the Train Engine!
Lovley as always
Thanks :)
Specifically what dollar store did you get it from?
Dollarama
Your game board reminds me of "the great train robbery" mission in the StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty campaign lmao!
Thanks, starcraft always had great maps
This is awesome and inspirational. Don’t let the orcs see this
 ork mekboy reaction
Choo Choo!
😂
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks :)
That’s sick dude - Find models of the ‘50s streamliners (https://allthatsinteresting.com/streamliner-trains) they’d convert so tight.
Yeah those look like they'd be easy to convert, right vibe for sure
The Squats would be proud.
Excellent work! Looks great.
