At the moment I expect the APC version to also be the 'dakka' version, with multiple assault and bolt cannons. I don't think there's really room for heavy AA as the very large hatch leaves little spare - the actual space available is comparable to a Baneblade otherwise. I also don't want to make the tank much taller - its already very tall compared to most Marine vehicles.

The tank should be quite capable against urban targets. Anything that can't be effectively destroyed by the array of assault cannons would likely be assaulted by jump pack or regular infantry carried aboard.

Flyers are trickier, but I don't know that a dedicated weapon system is necessary. I may add a radar scanner to the FW turret though.

It's been a while.

So its been seven months or so since my last post, but I've not been completely idle - not all the time anyway. I've kept poking away at the Mycenaean or at least thinking about it. 

I feel I rambled a bit in the previous couple of posts so I'll be fairly brief here. 

I've largely finished the outer hull structure. Still a few details left to tidy but I may be able to get that part painted some time fairly soon! I've also done most of the structural work for the actual assault tank/APC version of the tank, including all the hinges. A lot of detail work remains.

Rear upper armour plate:

Engine block detail (note the reactor access plate similar to an Imperial Knight):

Radiator/hatch and surface detail:

Armour plate atop the sponson (protecting a super high power searchlight):

Sponson detail (the weapon mount itself will have to be redone):

Upper assault compartment roof and prow hatches:

Prow showing the upper and lower prow hatches and multiple headlight arrays:

Open lower prow hatch (hatch armour is approximately 350mm thick - standard Land Raider armour is 95mm), also showing hydraulic rams:

Assault compartment headlights and ramp hinge:

Upper assault compartment roof hatch - open:

Upper assault compartment prow hatch/firing position - open (Marines can fire from this position in support of their disembarking brethren. Jump pack equipped marines can also launch directly from the upper deck):

Upper assault compartment floor detail (There is a lot of details left to add to this compartment):

All hatches open:

Scale/fit test (The seats are definitely small for a marine but broadly feasible. The Centurion does fit though - and he's a few millimetres taller than most):

Group shot of the three main components (the inner hull is held in place with magnets and the upper deck helps):

Upper assault deck and inner hull section side by side (The inner hull will be the base for at least one other variant, yet to be built):
