This is the Aegnor Battle Tank. Aegnor is Elvish for "fell fire", and the name is quite fitting. It is armed with 32 guided rockets, a 50mm cannon, 12 grenade or smoke grenade launchers, and a medium pulse cannon. The Aegnor is a hover tank, enabling it to manuever quickly and quitely into position over even the most difficult terrain. It is powered by 2 massive engines housed inside its monstrous armored belly. It is crewed by 2 men, and has ample room inside for them. This is part of my Recon 2 series. Please let me know what you think; comments and constructive criticisms welcome and wanted.

Re: Aegnor Battle Tank
Not surprisingly, when I read the topic, my mind leapt immediately to the son of Finarfin of the same name. While I see nothing particularly Quendian about this tank, I have to agree the Aegnor is a most appropriate name for a tank. (Maybe it belongs to some sort of neo-Gondorian country, where Sindarin is still spoken.)porschecm2 wrote:This is the Aegnor Battle Tank.

I like the design of your tank, as well as its codified colour scheme. It is kinda funny to see an Elvish name juxtaposed against a futuristic tank though.

Robin Hood: thanks!
Formendacil: Thanks! You confused me though. I was under the impression that Quenyan and Sindarin were two distinct Elvish languages. I recently got an "Elvish" dictionary(I have yet to determine if it is Quenyan or Sindarin, but I believe it is Quenyan). Anyway, with that aid, I plan to name many of my future MOCs using Elvish words. Lol, that is something I might just have to try: a futuristic Middle Earth...Mmm...some might call it heresy, but I think it could be interesting...

Quenya and Sindarin are the two primary elven languages. Quenya is the High-Elven, spoken in Valinor, and by the Noldorin exiles in middle-earth, as a kind of elf-latin (to use Tolkien's description.) Quenya most closely resembles the original elven tongue.
Sindarin is the languages of the Sindar, the grey-elves of Beleriand, and was adopted by the Noldorin exiles upon their return to middle-earth, and by the end of the Third Age (aka: the War of the Ring), it was spoken by almost all the Eldar in middle-earth (but not by all the elves), as well as by those Dunedain of Gondor from Minas Tirith, or the regions around that city or Dol Amroth.
When I used the term Quendian, however, I was not referring to the language, Quenya. Quendian is an adjective related to Quendi, that is: all the elves (Quendi derives from a proto-elvish word meaning the Speakers. Hence, Quenya, means "language" or in later times, the High-Elven of Valinor.)
Thus, when I used the term Quendian, it was the same as saying "elven".
Sorry for the confusion and the long-winded explanation. Not that it was any trouble for me, I love doing it, I just realise that some people might be thinking: "Oh no! Here he goes again!"

As a tank, I like it. As a name it seems fitting, it fits very nicely with the rest of your theme. The rest os the theme looks pretty cool too, http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/porsc ... recon2.jpg looks really imposing.
Back to the tank, I'd love to see it swarmed by Ewoks for some reason.
Of course anything looks good when it is swarmed by Ewoks. Now get busy and build something Castle! Your castle gallery is horribly unbalanced with your space creations.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.
