Default New IG tank ideas

Today i decided to start my first Mayjor conversion project. I was forming ideas and so far i have came up with this list:

1) Tank
2) Imperial
3) Seige APC
4) Elongated LR?
5) Demolisher cannon (mounted in predator turret?)
6) 4 Sponsons? (2 forwards, 2 back?)
7) WIDE
8) Big turret

Any ideas? a name? What to use, how much it'll cost etc?

Well, judging by what you want to do......I would say that this will cost you.

But the imagination should not be wasted, so I say if you have the cash go for it or never look back.

Well let's go down the list shall we?

First of all, a Tank- Imperal at that. Simple

Profile so far:

Imperial Tank
FA SA BA BS
3

Next:

Siege APC... Hmmm...

How about this?

Imperial Tank
FA SA BA BS
14 13 10 3
Transport: 12


No idea what a LR is... Moving on...

Wide would work, While the rest wouldn't.

I'm thinking of a Russ without a main Turret and a back with an exit hatch.


Final Design:
Imperial Tank: Castle
100 pts
FA SA BA BS
14 13 10 3
Transport: 10

Flat Top, Slow moving: If the squad in the Tank has a heavy weapon squad in it, it may ride on the top and fire it's weapon. Any weapon that hits the tank will hit the squad on the roll of a 5 or 6. The unit may fire its' weapon as long as it moved 6" or less in the round.

Options: Side Sponsons and hull weapons as Leman Russ. May buy all normal upgrades for Tanks in the IG armylist.

It's as many points as it is because it has the nasty weapons of the Russ while it also has the transport capacity. The ability to take a whole Squad inside of it
