*Personally* I'd have more uses for a pack of turrets so I can use them as bitz on other projects as well as in combination with maulers. I might get 4 maulers at some point for a chaos army, but that would probably be it. But I could probably find a use for quite a lot of weapons without hulls.

The weapons themselves make very useful conversion items. I would go basic mauler and weapons upgrade pack.

You need a mauler with a giant chassis mounted Vulcan cannon

Still don't care for the hulls, but I do like the weapon options. Like Apoc, getting weapons in a pack by themselves would be something I'd love for adding to conversion/terrain jobs.

Started working on a Battle Tank for the Novan regulars. Note that the model is still WIP.

Wow! Great model! I like it so much more than the Churchilian.

The fuel tank as a separate bit should be doable. Increasing the engine is a bit trickier, it might make the tank a bit on the large side.

more about the vertical. you need to raise up the engine on the back (add an exhaust manifold pipes while you're at it. It needs more bits on the rear to break up the tank visually at 6mm (not going for realistic, but visually interesting)

Also, I've placed the viewing slid on the front a bit higher, and lowered the front lights a bit:

The doors on the exhaust housing look odd to me. Some surface detailing there may be nice but I'd be OK with it being plain. Looking at the first angle - is their space for an access hatch/door behind one of the sponson positions. Perhaps just on the one side with some steps on the other side to allow access the top of the tank and the top hatches.

Thank you for the feedback.

I've added some side hatches, makes it easier for the crew to escape if needs be:
