Was a must buy:

The P-1000 (Ratte) as it is such a crazy Monster.



It is scale 1:144 so great for BKC. Maybe a little big..... (hull about 25 cm)

The Maus looks small and the Mark I at the top tiny.

Cheers Kalle

Got also a Maus at 1:72 scale from Easy Models (ready model)

Blimey, that is one big bit of kit, even at this scale

Have you reinforced the table legs? Possibly screw them to a wall or get some 2 by 4 to shore them up.

Cheers, Andy

Crikey! It's less a combat unit, more a skirmish gaming table

There is one in our club. In the real world the thing is useless of course, it would bog down and then be un-recoverable.

"Calling Arthur Harris Demolitions Company Ltd."

Ofc the Allied "super weapons" that won the war are just seen as "normal", the German unworkable, expensive and rubbish super weapons are all some kind of magnetic draw for being amazing.

Still, a tracked battleship turret crushing across the landscape is pretty cool, I guess

It's weakest point is still the guy driving the fuel truck (train?), just like any other super tank.

NUCLEAR POWER!

No, sorry, that's only for the Allies

THis has 2-3 U-Boat engines.

Takes too much scare diesel, Ian. NEEDS NUKES. Or some alien rift tech power plant. Or be crewed by zombies.

They're all as likely

A 5 kt Nuc shell would certainly do it no good.

Bah, shiny German alien tech means it shrugs that off, and only grows... stronger.

Wait, is that Godzilla?

Ok - ground burst em in front, behind and to each side. MOVE IT THEN !!!!

Send in the Pioneers, and dig a ditch! That'll stop it

Nah, just drop a couple of Tallboys through the roof. The problem with German wonder weapons is the Allies already have normal kit to stop them anyway

Big very slow target. Just drop Napalm on it and wait for it to cook.

I see I must reinforce my Ratte....

Now here "Kalles Super-Ratte"!!







With 150 Units built we would conquer the world!

....at least we would rampage all our roads and bridges and run out of gas a little sooner!


Cheers Kalle

These pics are from Corwin, of his Ratte and the "fire support version", Dora. He's asked me to post them for your enjoyment Kalle. Some big beasts there.

Cheers, Andy

That is a tough battlegroup with heavy support!

Thanks fot the pictures!

Very tasty

Hi all,
Does anybody know if this "thing" is available in 6mm scale (1:285 or 1:300)? Looking for a feature for my FWC force!

I have one but mine started out as an Armourfast T34/85, with a scratched turret.

How about this - http://bleaseworld.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/...

Technically it's a size down but the conversion ideas might work!

Also allegedly there's a Ratte in 1/300th on Shapeways (or was...).

There are indeed a few models on Shapeways. They start at c£37 for the least expensive option and go up to £eye-watering!
