Hi all, the Administratum Terra have their first Epic vehicle, the Asministratio Tributus, which loosely means 'tax manager' - or collector! It's the only way to ger feral orks to pay their taxes. This is my Open competition entry (which managed to get all of 4 votes *sigh*). Here's a few more pics of the beastie. No prizes for guessing the chassis it is based on. |

I like the idea of a cityblock on tracks. ...It reminds me of a scene in Monty Python and The Meaning of Life, where an office building is suddenly transformed into a pirate ship (very odd!)  It would be really cool if you got a couple of Forge World buildings and made an "un-ruined" version. It would take 1 Administratum and 1 Censorium building so it wouldn't be more expensive than a Warlord Titan to build. ...Hmmm.... I almost feel like doing my own version noow... Damn you V! I haven't got enough time!  Cheers!

I really like the concept and think this is a really nice execution. I would not be worried about the "4" votes, the Open Category had some very strong entries, and therefore to get "any" votes should be seen as a positive vindication on the quality of the paint job (it was a painting competition). Personally I think the model could do with skirts to hide the large wheels and ensure that there are no large flat surfaces, think Capital Imperialis and you may ss what I am getting at. |

Yeah, I really like the concept of the model too- its a very classic Rogue Trader/Adeptus Titaniucs sort of idea.... I would quite fancy building one myself, were I not so busy already! |

Correct, L-4! Good work. Not worried, Jimbo - especially after seeing the work on Stormseer's Pegasus! I thought about the skirts, but for me part of the fun is seeing tiny troops gaping at wheels four times their size.  Stormseer, between my Ad.Trib. and Warmaster's and your potential models, we'd soon have a mobile city! Let the vehicle of temptation taunt your living thoughts until you give in to it....  PS - and I think I'd like to build an even larger beast (but different in concept) for the next Epic comp, too!

mmmm....better to use it to squish the Feral Orks, unless you have figured out the exchange rate for ork 'teef'. Nice work Van! my 2cents, iblisdrax |

I think its a novel concpet and very nice indeed. Not sure what use it is one the table, but that has never been a serious consideration for modelling! Pretty sure I was one of your 4 fans actually!
