This is a Brass Scorpion Conversion using the Chaos Defiler kits.
This was made before Forge World released their wonderful resin version. However this is still a very nice conversion and well painted and put together.

Another example of ‘second-generation’ Baneblades, the Malcador Heavy Tank is a mobile fortress, heavily armed and armoured but slow. The ‘standard’ pattern has been altered to create several variants, each designed to fulfil a specific battlefield role. The Annihilator variant mounts a twin-linked lascannon in place of the limited-traverse Battle Cannon of the standard pattern tank, and is commonly equipped with lascannon sponsons to supplement this main armament.
Detractors of the design claim that the Malcador Annihilator falls between two roles, fulfilling neither fully as it is too large and too slow to serve as a ‘true’ tank-hunter while lacking the firepower and armour to evenly match a Baneblade in open war.
Against conventional armour, however, and in the hands of a skilled crew, the Malcador Annihilator can still prove its worth.

A renegade Malcador Defender advances during the Siege of Vraks.
Named after a mysterious figure from the Imperium’s earliest days, Malcador the Sigillite (a close advisor to the Emperor during the Battles of Unification, and the man credited with founding the Administratum of Terra), the Malcador Heavy Tank is a mobile fortress, heavily armed and armoured but slow. The Defender variant is perhaps the most common, although also the most unusual – its fixed turret mounts 5 limited-traverse Heavy Bolters, positioned to provide all-round defensive fire. The Defender crams 8 crew into a cramped interior, as it also mounts two sponson weapons and a hull-mounted Demolisher Cannon. Unsurprisingly, the Defender is perfect for the role of a breakthough tank – ably suited to close-quarters fighting, trench warfare and urban engagements in which its multiple fire-points and heavy armour excel.

On the community feed I came across this excellent Chaos Brass Scorpion.
Well painted and nicely different yet similar to the Forge World painted version.
Chaos Vindicator on display at GamesDay 2007.
The Vindicator has been in use by Imperial forces since the Great Crusade, and it has hardly changed since those turbulent days so long ago. The Space Marine Legions that sided with the corrupted Warmaster and Primarch of the Luna Wolves, Horus Lupercal, used their Vindicators against the Loyalist forces of the Emperor during the Horus Heresy.

On display at GamesDay 2009 was this magnificent Chaos Reaver Titan.
Very impressive model. I know some people feel it should be more chaotic, but considering the Vraks background, this slightly less “corrupted” Reaver make some sense in the fluff.
Another view of this Titan.
