Bad News! My camera is busted.

Any way I have recently finished three tanks. A rather moderately customized Chimera, A brand new outta da box Griffion Self-Propelled Mortar, and a Leman Russ with a V cannon detachable upgrade.

I want to show you guys these three cus I am rather proud of'em. But sadly I cannot. But I will not litter a thread with a pointless post.

I am working on some fluff for my army but I’m a bit stuck... it’s like a medieval trench army from a man-made world called Side 7... But I go blank after that... any help will be much appreciated. I’m hoping this is the right place for this

okay! I have something! I recently bught a game called Rise of Legends. old game I know but a kickass one anyway!

So I think I have an idea for fluff.... similar to the Vinci. I am thinking of making my grenadiers look like the vinci infantry, Imperial Fusilliers. and makeing my sentinals more like the clockwork men. I think that may be easier to do then a Zaku, pluse I can make a IG Zaku as a knight-class titan or bigger!. I was thinking of buying a Baneblade and makeing two long guns to go on it to make it a juggernaught, as count as. I hope I can get a camera soon. I am working on a Fusillier right now.

All around a very steam punk look which equals awesome in my book! I particularly like the second image for infantry design, looks like something you could do with a lot of bretonnian and/or empire bits and gs work. I must admit though that I am a little sad to see that steam punk is taking the place of a old-school zeon themed army. If you still wanted to use zakus the 1/100 scale bandai kits seem just about right to make 'count as' knight titans. As to converting a baneblade, I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "juggernaught" but the first thing that came to my mind was a land battleship if you wanted to continue the universal century theme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_battleship#Gundam). Sorry if my ideas are somewhat counter-productive to your new theme but I couldn't help myself. Also where are those tanks you promised?

Well, I guess we've got 3 Mobile Suit fans..

oh no, no, no Dear 0079. I was gonna try to combined them...Steam powered Zaku? This is just an idea. I may just go for the inf. But I might mix up the sentinals. I know for a fact that my next Leman Russ will be a Zaku Tank

Apologies for the misunderstanding but that does sound like a rather interesting idea. You could steampunkify a zaku by replacing the upper arm and upper leg parts with unshielded clockwork equivalents, put cogs/gears in all the joints, and/or upgrading the standard back booster into some manner of massive steam engine to power those monsters!

As to that I ask you sir, who doesn't love giant robots?

I remember seeing the ads when that game came out, it looked really original.

seems like a good idea, you could easily make the army by buying WHFB empire hand gunners and other things. I'm stealing your idea for sentinlas by the way!


Actually I'm not. Not that good at converting yet.

I just checked out Rise of Legends and I've gotta say, if that were a miniature game, It would break me of my GW plasticrack habit in a heartbeat.

ROL is an incredible game, it's true. I always thought a Cuotl-based Tau or Necron army would be awesome

My my, I may have to capitalize (sp?) on that Coutl idea. very nice. Anyway, I got a new camra... Just need to figure out how to upload so please stay tuned

okay got it! I have pictures of most of my figs I WANT you guys to see since im proud of'em. so kinda photo dump, forgive me.

and some more

Nice work man, I was thinking about making the cold one rough rider squad myself. My only critique though is that the dark elf legs are too weedy, you might want to bulk them up a bit, but overall they look really nice.

I like them too, though same comment as above except I'd add that you might think about doing something in regards to the 'eflish' looking armor on the legs as well. Overall, this looks like a great project. Keep updating!

Well I was tring to make it look like light swift and aerodynamic looking armor. so they move faster and such but now looking I may beef up the legs...but I like the helms
