\"Modified<\/a>
Modified Mage Knight Tank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finally got around to modifying two Make Knight tanks that I bought recently. \u00a0These used to sell for $35 each, but I found two at $5 each at different conventions.<\/p>\n

This is what the tank looks like before I modified it. \u00a0I’ve never thought the spikey wheel on the front made much sense. \u00a0I could only imagine this tank burrying its front end into the dirft after a few yards and becoming immobile.\u00a0 I ordered resin wheels from Brigade games, cut off the spikey wheels, repainted the whole thing, and glued on the new wheels. \u00a0I also mounted a commander’s machinegun (also from Brigade Games) on top.\u00a0 I’m pretty happy with the way the two tanks turned out.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure when these tanks will see action for the first time, but at least they are off the project table.\u00a0 So, now I have to devise a scenario that uses them in time for Historicon!<\/p>\n
