Icon Of Dominance, Traitor Siege Command Tank

Description

My second Leman Russ Demolisher for the 3rd Trojan Regiment, and I've been looking forward to this one! Unlike Painkiller, Rebel Siege Tank, Icon Of Dominance has been heavily customised by its Commander, Charlotte 'The Harlot' Acacia. Yes, oddly enough its ID number is 22. (If all this goes over your head completely, I apologise. It doesn't help that I'm mixing Lordi and Iron Maiden in one tank)

The idea is that IoD was originally a Commissar Command Tank, hence the black paintwork, which has then become something a little different. I added plenty of meat-hooks from the Chaos Tank sprues (for that well-hung feeling, sorry, I'm at it again) as well as the obligatory spikes. Though there's some battle-wear, I kept the tank clean with no rotting flesh or blood because that sort of thing is a little out of the S&M theme. I also avoided any trophies from Space Marines because in all honesty, the 3rd Trojan are just the sort of traitor scum that Marines wipe out before breakfast.

Charlotte is, of course, Dominatrix Libby from Hasslefree, previously seen on my Warshrine of Slaanesh. The model is sadly out of production at the moment, it seems, so this one had to be sourced from America via eBay, which is pretty ridiculous but there you go. She's removable, as are all the weapons and sponsons, just as on Painkiller. In Charlotte's case, I built a receiving slot in the turret with bits of sprue for her base tab, then used wet Green Stuff to make a snug fit. All the turret weapons are accessorised with spikes to make them more Chaotic and push home the importance of the tank. If I ever run these girls using the normal Guard list, Charlotte will be Pask and drive a Punisher, because of course she will.

 (Okey-dokey, this seems to be the best place to say it, I really like your Third Trojan regiment and the themes used. I have a soft spot for Traitor Regiments and human chaos cults and enjoy their backstories, and this particular set of model conversions I find to be rather enjoyable. Also their flagrant disregard for body-armor, buuuuuut Flak Armor is only barely considered that anyways...

 As for this particular one it's my favorite thus far, I like this imposing tank and it's brazen, half-playful assertions of dominance. 'Hooks in You'... Seems like this tank taunts as much as shoots. I like that you made a conscious choice to not include Space Marine skulls because indeed, space marines are far from easy kills, and finally the skull shown on the top-right image... I find it pretty awesome and almost hilarious that it's got it's hair like that.

 As for the significance of the 22 I'm afraid that I miss that completely. I like music of numerous kinds however am not versed in Heavy Metal lore. Regardless, a highly enjoyable conversion! Look forward to seeing more from this particular Regiment.)
