Description
Been awhile since i drew. Finally got a shape i could work on, so i did. The results were originally supposed to be a hovering Jo-car infantry carrier from the Wheel of Time series, but it just didn't look right without tracks. So i added tracks and decided to make a Jo-car another day.Tech Specs:
Weight: 48 tons
Top Speed: 90 KPH
Armor: Ultra High Density (UHD) Neutronium Alloy
Weapons:
-120mm Plasma Cannon
-30mm Anti-Infantry Cannon (in primary turret)
-30mm Gattling Cannon
-Battering Ram
-Flamethrower (under battering ram)
Crew: 2 req, 6 Infantry
The NTG Decimator tank was created in response to the heavy artillery the rebels used against the standard slow moving armored vehicles. This heavily armed battletank is capable of extremely fast travel over open ground. Captured rebels sometimes tell their NTG captors of legions of Decimator tanks literally leaping over sandbagged positions, all the while firing their weapons. The double tread design also allows the Decimator to turn on a dime, then zip away from danger.
With all the speediness this unit has, one might assume it's armor is light or non-existent. The Decimator tank is the first mobile ground unit to be built with the UHD Neutronium alloy armor, previously only found on the hulls of Anvil class superdreadnoughts. Althought the layer is only 3 cm thick, its total protection is equivalent of 16 cm of honeycombed titanium-A armor.
Rounding out the Decimator tank is the ability to carry six fully armed and armored infantrymen into battle. Although there have been reports of injuries sustained by the soldiers being speedily ferried into battle, the speed of delivery is only exceeded by the comparatively safer but more expensive dropships.

nice design, the shading could be darker though.
also, in the specs that you listed you said the tank only weighs 48 tons. to me that seems way too light for the equipment it carries. personally i would say this tank should weigh between 60 and 80 tons. This is just my opinion though.

Awww! Fudge muffins! I was working on a tank that looks so freaking much like this one! Jeez! Its more round, but man! Irritating. Great minds think alike... Ah, thats too much credit on my part... Good work on it though. Especially on adding the specs, most artists just draw, you put life into it.

I read somewhere once, it might have been an inteview with the Creator, that a shocklance isn't really a rifle(though I have no flicking clue what else it might be). I'm interested in your interpretation. I'd like to Matrix that mans brain sometime and find out just what the hell he means with some things. Heh, knowing my luck though...he doesn't really have a mental image of it, he just comes up with a name just to screw with us...bastart.

Well.. by now you know it looks good, though I still think the shading could be improved.. slightly.. it looks a little.. grainy?.. hm, I don't know if that is the right word for it.

heh...i blame the scanner....my IRL pic has sharp lines and smooth shading...i guess the scanner picks up things more extreme.
