If you are curious how close you got your Crassus to the FW one, check out the link below. I found the paper craft ones are pretty close in size, usually no more off than 1/2 inch

I found a picture of a FW one next to a Rhino, having a rhino on hand I compared and Im pretty sure my "crassus" is longer then a FW one. I can only estimate but it doesn't seem too much longer, its about the same height and width from what I can tell give or take a little bit.
Thank You though.

Im currently all the way in England and saw the Bovington Tank Museum Tank Fest and it was incredible. You can see tanks on TV on the History channel (or any equivalent channel), on the military channel and such, and you see people standing next to them, and you are told how big they are with pictures to scale and so on.... But in person. The sheer power they radiate, their immense size and the presence of a warrior is hard to describe. The Mighty Panzers, the fierce Centurion, The Legendary Tiger 1 and God-like Tiger 2. Bovington was a blast.
THey had numerous tents with souvenirs of all sorts, including plastic models (of which there seemed to be like 4 tents of them loaded to the top) and I picked up a potential new war machine for the 91st while I was there.
A 1/32nd T2 Hunter Killer Tank.
Perhaps It could be worked into a Titan of some sort. replacing the little lazer guns with larger turbo lazers and if its large enough perhaps even a chest mounted weapon replacing the chest.. umm.... whatever that is.... with whatever a Reaver Titan can have in the Carapace slot. with large Imperium/ Mechanicus symbols adorning the machines hull of course.
While in England, im planning to see the GW HQ and their citadel hall in Nottingham. If I get anything (probably something small, as it'll be expensive as GW is...) Ill have to note on the model that is where it came from as (as far as I know) none of the guys at my local store have been there so its neat and a little bit of bragging rights or at the least its neat to say "I have been there, and got this model from their HQ store".
Ill be back home on the 9th of july, and Ill get some Elmer's to get the grit and rocks on the Mk1's base and ill get started on another tank or something. In the mean time, ill have to figure out how to get the monster Hunter Killer home. Ill either squeeze it into a bag to get home or have it mailed home.

I saw GW HQ yesterday and today (4th and 5th).
Say want you want about GW but I must admit their HQ is really cool. The bar (Bugman's) had good food and the massive tables they had along with the models upstairs in the Hall of Miniatures were incredible.
But I also managed to bag a serious force to build when I get home.
5 Scions,
1 Taurox.
1 Baneblade
3 Russes
3 Hellhounds.
Alongside that Terminator Hunter Killer Tank, I have plenty to keep me busy. I just need to bunker down and get to work when I get home.
alongside Imperial Armor (IG) and Aeronautica, and the 7th rule book I know that both of those FW books are roughly 6th, but the differences between 7th and 6th shouldn't be so earth shattering huge that they would be made pointless right? At most, some sticky notes or red pen marks could correct things (like the new Hydra stats in the AM book vs the old ones in the IA book)
Current concepts I've been throwing around for the HK tank is a Titan of some kind if it ends up tall enough. The Baneblade will likly end up a Stormsword (hellhammer siege gun CQC tank) but with a shorter and more squat super structure (like a STUG 3).
I can bolt together 1 or 2 Wyverns from the Hellhounds. I've been hearing they are effective. Maybe a Manticore as well. I have heard of the possibility of an APoc match at my store (sometime after I get home hopefully) and extra Arty is always good to have.
The Russes im not sure what crazy and fantastic things they could wield but I had an idea for another knight....

Work has begun. starting with the smallest issue of the lot.
The 5 scions are made. With plasma, melta, a Sergent and 2 Hot-shot lasguns it fills out my Storm Troopers to a full 2 squads. with 16 metal Kasrkins and the 5 new plastic Scions I should have plenty of troops for a strike force to hit important targets, leaping from my Valk's or charging in with the Taurox and Chimeras.
Ill get the Taurox up and running soon. I think the slight modification might end up being mere wheels on its front, they just look better to me. then the weird quad tracks and the little truck-like chassis, I get its an "all terrain assault vehicle" and such, but "all terrain" can be a title boltd to nigh any machine with the right locomotion...

Work continues while I keep searching for tires or some alternate locomotion for the Taurox (maybe it could hover? hmmmm).
I bolted together the beginings of a Manticore to bolster my artillery
it will have a set of 4 tubes on its rear for the missile launcher eventually. I don't have the Manticore missiles themselves but a bulkier launcher that contains the missiles seems better.
Also, one of the Rhinos I purchased (the $4 heat damaged one) has been beaten on to make some terrain.
a simple wrecked vehicle type of terrain, with damage and the frontal "kill shots" on its front from heavy anti tank weapons.
after basing and maybe some rocks and dirt on the base, ill leave it at my local store for someone to paint it (that or ill do it). I've been thinking of finding that cotton for smoke/fires that I've seen around. some pouring out the back might look good.

Manticore is done.
I had a good 2 escalation battles for 7th for the store to learn it or whatever edition it is now. At a mere 250 points I had a chimera (my Hovering one) armed with an Autocannon (from my new Imperial Armor book) a squad of Vets, a command squad with auto cannon and 5 scions in the chimera.
I managed to beat a mob of Orks using my long range weapons to shoot them to pieces only losing the heavy bolter form my veterans to a barrage of big shoota fires and 2 scions from an exploding sabotaged objective. After killing his big mek and his kustum mega blasta which was the only threat to the frontal armor of my chimera the ork player gave up. The next battle the it was 1 vs 1 vs 1 with the same orks, me and some grey knights. The grye knights guy won as he hid in the corner after getting first blood and the ork warlord as I tried to advance to get to him after 5 guys deep striked and got mobbed by the orks before first shooting up the first of the 2 ork squads. ah well. if the turns kept going I would have shot him to pieces along with the remaining orks who were going to beat down the last deep striker.
Anyways.
Next I think ill craft together one of the Leman Russ in the big box. crafting together an Exterminator or possibly a Annihilator (a Leman Russ with twin Lascannons in the IA book)
I also found out my Terminator: Hunter Killer Tank is 8 inchs tall, with some work I can stretch it to 10 and make it work as a Warhound titan, its tread base is huge, plenty big to be the leg base of a Warhound titan.
I believe ill give it duel plasma blast guns for their heavy blast radius firepower, that or twin Turbo Lasers. Converting the "plasma guns" the Hunter Killer is armed with should be easy with barrel extensions and other bitz and pieces.

Annihilator is getting worked on with a old pair of razorback lascannons in its nose. Im hoping to modifiy the rear of the tank for an alternate powerplant. what exactly im not sure, but ill get to it.

The Leman Russ Annihilator is up and running.
The engine is rigged up with external fuel tanks, and engine filter. The crew having "borrowed" some fuel from hellhounds inferno cannon and added some substances that give extra horsepower.
I also went and put all my Russes together to count out what I have.
Battle Tank: 6
Vanquisher: 3
Eradicator: 2
Exterminator: 1 (one of the new models will be one so +1)
Annihilator: 1 (the new guy)
Demolisher: 3
Executioner: 3
Laser Destroyer: 2
Punisher: 2
this of course doesn't cover the lighter armor like hellhounds, chimeras, and artillery, just Russes.
The next Russ will be an Exterminator.

Like I said, Im working on the Exterminator. Im naming it the Gladiator after the C&C Shockwave mod unit I took inspiration from. The Gladiator is a quad 40mm AA tank that can shred aircraft. Of course my Russ will not be running around like an armor 14, HB sponsored Hydra of doom.
Its still only a Exterminator with its standard autocannons. Despite have 4 barrels for its main weapon. He should be done at some point soon. Automatically Appended Next Post: Exterminator construction nearly complete.
Frankly there is not a lot of mods you can add to the sides of the LR chassis except perhaps pipes and things. SUspension and internal mechanics can be done but requires removing the outer hull piece and rigging the roadwheels inside. I've seen it done but it requires the older kits which have the road wheels as opposed to the treads fitting in the sides like a jigsaw puzzle. I might have to rig something like that for the 3rd Exterminator design. something like a Steam Tank which I've been meaning to make but never got to it.
The rear auxiliary fuel tank, plumbing and exhaust are in.
I gotta run by the hobby store for a new pair of clippers, I can't find my thin nosed ones, getting at the sprue is tough with thick jawed ones.

A Wyvern is just about done. only needing perhaps a few small bitz and paint before completion.
I actually managed to nab a complete wyvern from someone at my local store for $20. Which is where the guns on this one came from. Problem is the wyvern if got was put together with Super Glue which lead to It having the tell-tale white staining on the parts and them coming apart with the slightest of tugs.
So I put the hull back together with plastic glue and instead of putting the Wyvern turret base back on Im converting it to a Trojan. Supposedly If it sits next to an unit then within 6 inchs it can give that unit preferred enemy or something. let the hilarity ensue if parked next to something like a Punisher or something with a really large template.... like a manitcore's manitcore missile 7 inch blast missile impact....(Forgeworld where have you been all my life? Killing things are more fun now with my IA book)
The Trojan so far. crafted from a Wyvern, parts of a Hellhound and plasticard. It just needs its hatch and a small crane attached to the turret and perhaps some more cargo strapped to the sides in an effort to carry more ammo and supplies to the front.
I also have decided on a newer larger project that will come after building the rest of the smaller tanks.
The Ordinatus Minoris is essentially a huge mobile artillery piece that carries titan grade weapons. While I already have Baneblades that wield Titan weapons, like the Volcano Cannon, Plasma Blastgun, Vulcan Mega Bolter and others. Besides the Volcano Cannon, and Quake Cannon, most of those are carried by the smaller Warhound titan.
Well I want a Titan Melta Cannon mounted to a really big tracked platform. There are no rules for an Ordinatus Minoris outside of Epic. Which Epic and for lack of a better term Full scale 40k the weapons and magnitude of firepower the machines can unleash are really off.
Im hoping to craft together a really large tank of sorts.
mounting, besides the enormous primary Titan Melta Cannon, at least a battlecannon on the front of the chassis, multiple sets of TL HB and Lascannons in sponsons and not. basically a really big Baneblade with a hefty price tag of points.
Perhaps Forgeworld will make Ordinatus for the Mechanicus for the Horus Heresy thing later but I dunno. They are Titan Sized tracked war machines that carry enough firepower to make an Emperor Class Titan fearful.
I already know what the chassis of the Minoris will be built from. the hulls of the Hunter Killer tank, and VK4502(b) should be plenty large to serve at the armored chassis of the Ordinatus Minoris and support a massive Titan Melta Cannon. best estimate of points (knowing the Warhound is like 700+ or something) could be like 850 points or more for my Ordinatus Minoris.
Anyways. After the Trojan, im not sure what to make. I still have atleast 1 hellhound, 1 Leman Russ, 1 full Baneblade, 1 pair of Baneblade treads, a T-28 Super Heavy Tank (baneblade), 1 Taurox, 1 VsKfz 617 (armored mine clearing Wheel-tank.) several small helicopters, a Mark 4 Heavy Tank (WW1), and even a HH-53c Cargo Helicopter... perhaps transform that into a giant cargo aircraft for my Army? anyways I have a ton of stuff to do. So many possibilities.

The crane on the Trojan is done. Hook, gantry, winch and all. Along with the doors on its rear. Im digging through my bitz to try and find some crates and boxes for ammo and such to place inside the cargo bay. But he's ready for battle.. or delivering ammo and cargo to the front anyways.
Edit: I saw someone who converted a Mark 4 WW1 tank into a Dominus Triple Bombard. I figured I might as well give it a try, but with my own design of the weapon system. The one I saw was very well built and painted with 3 Erradicator barreled mounted in a rough triangle in the rear. I think Ill do something more akin to a giant 3 barrel gatling gun with the same eradicator muzzle breaks. Thankfully I have the rule for the Dominus in my IA book.
Might as well get to work on the "Dominator, Armored Gatling Artillery"

Sir Bush of Wookie
The Kirov in on hold until I can find an actual stand that can hold its immense girth, plastic while light weight when held is one thing but to find something that will stand by itself with something as ungainly as a zeppelin on its top that can hold against being pushed and nudged and not fall is hard. Its propellers, engines, and such sit in a plastic bag with it waiting to be magnetized to its hull.
At one point I considered a music stand my brother had but its gone. Sometimes I question if Forgeworld has a custom made stand for the giant Manta and could sell it separately. but such searchs are in vain. Soon as I find a base that can support it, work would begin.
edit: never mind. found a heavy stand of some sort in the storage room, with a round heavy metal base. might as well get to work before I get side-tracked.... again.

A quick drill to the bottom and some quick thinking.
It fits on just fine and spins freely. I don't really intend for it to screw in or anything. Now to just get everything else on somehow.
Also, im made everything on it off scale. for example, the bombs are very very small physically, this alongside the gondalas tiny size would mean the bombs if it was 40k scale (if it could claim to have a dedicated scale) would be the size of a Leman Russ Tank....perhaps larger... and its sheer sizes allows it to carry hundreds if not thousands of these bombs. The propeller blades on its engines are from Deff coptas but scale wise these patched together propellers would have blades the length of a Marauder bomber, their blades spun by eually large engines powered by an onboard reactor or something insane.
perhaps they could be the hellstorm bombs the marauder can only have 2 of? only without a firestorm template but a apocalypse template due to the slow speed of the aircraft.
I already have the Aeronautica book and inside is the tau Manta. I can use multiple rules from that to work with the Kirov. One being that the Manta is so large that units can use their normal BS to shoot at it. The Kirov is much larger then that so it works.
back to work.

The Kirov should get its engines mounted soon. Once I get the magnets from the store.
In the mean time, I crafted together the hull of the Hunter Killer Tank. its big to say the least.
Its going to be the rear hull of the Ordinatus Minoris mounting a Titan Melta Cannon. with another tank hull on the front with the total armament being 1 battle cannon, 3 TL heavy bolters, 2 Lascannons, and a stubber on the top with a hunter killer missile someone somewhere.
best guess is about 850 points with 5 structure points 2 void shields and 14/13/12 armor. Its going to be mean.

Technically.... Those would qualify as an Ordinatus Majoris.
Most Majoris carry huge weapons like a Sonic Disrutpor.
But there are records of those that are equivalent of a Fatboy mobile factory or even a Panzer Hulk (End of Nations). A mobile mountain of metal and guns with a landing pad for aircraft like Valkiries or even Thunderhawks if necessary.
I would love to command one of those. But having the potential for MORE TEMPLATES THEN AN EMPEROR CLASS TITAN and being a more manageable size (if only just), would anyone have the guts to fight one? even in Apoc.

Test Results came back. The Mark 1 is a highly effective killing machine.....
Andy had been tasked with helping guard a small contingent of 91st troops as they moved to secure a relic from the middle of this Emperor-forsaken desert planet. He could see nothing but bombed out buildings and spires of red rock through the electronic eyes of his enormous war machine, simpled named the "Mark 1". Andy didn't know what the name meant, maybe the cogboys knew, but that thought was quickly dropped when the auspex began to blare at him. A voice in his head, the voice of the CO of the small detachment, yelled through the Vox static "ORKS! Moving in from the north! something big is with them!! The objective is at the top of that ridge, move quick before they get here!". The troops kicked into high gear diving into cover and the Manticore "Thunda'struck" with its Trojan tag-along "Old-Sally" moved behind the remains of an old habblock. The Hovering Chimera, one of the one-offs the 91st was (in)famous for, carrying the recovery team tore ahead aroud the spire looking for a path way with the Leman Russ Annihilator "Twin Blade" flanking it, its overcharged engine beltching out smoke behind it. Andy ran to the base of the spire, or more his machine did, and quickly the Orks came into view. At their head was a giant waddling walker of some sort with tiny killa-kans and a deffdread huddled around it like a ugly metal family of ducks. As Andy eyed the big walker data streams poped up before his eyes along with crosshairs of the Heavy Pulse Cannon cradled in his machine's arms and those of the coaxial and hull stubbers. The data streams showed a 3d image of the walker, detailing it was a "Gork/Morkanaut", armed to the gills with big guns, a nasty hydrolic claw and crawling with Orks. Andy steadied the cannon and fired a burst into the killa-kans maiming 2 and obliterating one completely of the 4 that tried to hide in the shadow of their huge "mother". "Orks are moving to the Relic! Engaging!" the voice of the young commander of the Twin Blade yelled in Andy's head, the rattle of Heavy Bolter fire and crack of Lascannon in the background of the message. The Orks had taken notice to their 2 story tall aggressor by then, a hail of mega blasta fire and rockets streamed at the Mark 1. Andy strode forward through the deluge of fire, at a mere thought the Ion shield deflected the rounds, anything else pinged off the thick plasteel skin of the Mark 1.
One shell got through, glancing off the hull, leaving a gash of clean metal. Alarms sounded from the impact but Andy continued to advance relentlessly toward the Mork(Gork?)-anaut firing a burst from the Cannon into its metal belly, blasting a chunk of hammered on armor into pieces. The Gork(Mork?)-anaut retaliated swinging its hydrolic arm wildly and firing off Rokkits and a mega blasta shot that sailed past the Mark 1 going wild before exploding mid air. Andy roared and charged heldlong into the Morkanaut. lowering one shoulder, exposing the armored shoulder plate with the Imperial Aquila emblazoned upon it, This was going to be the last thing these filthy Xeno's remember before they die. The Mark 1 barreled into the Morkanaut the impact sending plates of metal flying. Andy reved the chainblade mounted beneath the Cannon, energy crackling along its length as the blades ripped around its frame. With a mighty swing Andy tried to gut the giant metal beast, missing twice. For something so ungainly and large it could move swiftly under pressure, but the Xeno's luck ran out almost instantly. A slash across the middle opened a long tear through the metal hide of the Xeno machine, exposing the infernal workings of the beast, grots running terrified of the angry steel god that was demolishing their machine. Andy heaved the massive blade high and brought it down to the "kneck" of the Xeno's creation with fury pumping through him. Both machine shuddered violently upon impact. The image of the energized blades spinning and ripping through the Morkanaut brought to a crawl in his memory from the adrenaline, cleaving the thing in two before it collapsed in a heap.
The Orks, upon seeing their no longer mighty creation felled by the fury of the Mark 1 broke into disarray, their leader a Big Mek was cut down from a hail of auto cannon fire before he could bring the rest together for a counter attack. The Orks fled, tripping over each other, others trying to fire parting shots as they ran. "Thunda'struck" answered the shots with a hail of Manticore rockets. The ork force was annihilated utterly, with no losses, only a ding on the Mark 1. The Relic was recovered quickly and shuttled off to base. Back outside his machine, unhooked from it, Andy carefully began to paint a rough silhouette of his first kill. The infantry didn't matter nor the Kans, but to best an opponent like that was a great achievement. As he finished, lowering the maintenance platform, he beamed up upon the symbol. His first kill with his machine....
I had a battle today, 1000 points with my Knight, a chimera (the hovering one), 2 Vets, 1 Manitcore(new one),1 Trojan (the new one), my new Leman Russ Annihilator, and of course a CCS with and auto cannon. I faced against an Ork Mob that had a Morkanaut (I think there is a distinct difference between them, but can't remember what it is), 1 Deffdread, 4 kans, and 3 mobs of orks with 'eavy armor on with a Big Mek for a warlord holding a Mega blasta (that actually got Hot and killed him in the end, not AC fire). It was a Relic battle but he decided to focus on my Knight all he could, but its heavy armor and shield let it stride forward through the deluge of fire. My Chimera and Annihilator moved around the giant rock with the Relic and began to mow away the 2 separate ork Mobs, my Annihilator carrying 3 HB and its TL LC unloaded into one and reduced to down too 1 Ork who promptly turned tail and ran.
The Giant Robots duked it out. I got the Charge with a Hammer of Wrath (the shoulder ram in the short story). But by the Emperor the D weapon blows were insane. I only managed to hit 2 out of the 4. but I got a 4 and a 6. In total the hull points I removed were 11.... and the poor Morkanaut only has a total of 5 (6? I can't remember, but he had lost 2 to a barrage of shots from before and the hammer impact). After the utterly devastating attack from the knight killing the Morkanaut he gave up. he could have attacked with the remaining Deffdread (the Kans having been wiped out by combined fire from other units and the knight), but it would not have survived the Knights fury.
It was a lot of fun. But with the sheer power behind the Knight (even just 1), the escalation league organizer had declared that knights at that low of points (1000 exactly) were no longer allowed, having witnessed the devastation mine brought forth. Frankly I don't blame him, but I asked the Ork guy if it was Ok to bring my Knight and he was fine with it, until it smashed his Orks to pieces. Even if he had killed it he also had a Forgeworld armed Manticore to deal with (7inch ST 9 AP 2 blasts from the Manticore missiles) along with the rest of the tanks and troops. Including a very mean Annihilator that tore around the field unloading its HB's and TL LC.
In terms of building and all that, I was hoping to get a set of magnets and base paint today but the delivery hasn't arrived yet. Ill run by my local Hobbytown tomorrow.

I wonder what you could do with idea based on a uef Fatboy off supreme chomand or, mobile land battleship with air staging ability :-)
Technically.... Those would qualify as an Ordinatus Majoris.
Most Majoris carry huge weapons like a Sonic Disrutpor.
But there are records of those that are equivalent of a Fatboy mobile factory or even a Panzer Hulk (End of Nations). A mobile mountain of metal and guns with a landing pad for aircraft like Valkiries or even Thunderhawks if necessary.
I would love to command one of those. But having the potential for MORE TEMPLATES THEN AN EMPEROR CLASS TITAN and being a more manageable size (if only just), would anyone have the guts to fight one? even in Apoc.
Make a top quality chomand centre for your battle group, its like a up gunned leviton just packing qaud lighter macro canons over a giant one.
And can always sport lesser guns, is battle or baneblade cannons, or of the like.
Yes has draw backs but be one amazing creation and look impressive on any battlefield! Take light off the titans done right :-)

I've based all my recent creations.
Leman Russ Exterminator "Gladiator" Quad Long barreled Auto Cannons.
Leman Russ Annihilator "Twin Blade" Predator Lascannons and Modded fuel system.
Manticore Missile Artillery "Thunda'Struck" (or Thunder Struck). Modded Hellhoud hull.
Trojan Support Vehicle "Old-Sally", Modded Hellhoud with Turret mounted crane.
Wyvern Mortar Tank "Baddie Blender" Modded Hellhound with scratch turret. '
Working on painting them.
The 5 Scions are based and painted up too.
I gave them a Red and Gold thing with some blue strips and berets. The Red is supposed to be the "color of Old blood" ala the Mechanicus colors with the gold in there for flare. The Blue is more a nod to the scions box art if anything else. On top fo the normal Bronze and Grey metal color of the army.
Ill probly go over it again with more red to made it brighters and less dull.
They should see action in my next Escalation battle this Thursday. Hoping to charge a Hellhound or something forwards into a good position with that Auger Array and let them drop on it so they can hold down a point while the tank can keep going and burning things.
Not sure If I will employ the Mark 1 again. the Ork guy was on the brink of Rage when the Mark 1 shrugged off everything he threw at it and demolished his Morkanaut with a 11 hull point D weapon blow from the underbarrel power chainblade. Hopefully I won't face him, I've crushed him twice now.
First at 500 with my Chimera packing an AC blowing away his orks and when the Mek with his Mega blasta died it was GG (nothing eh had could hurt the frontal armor of the Chimera then).
Then I faced his dad at 750 points who brought a Tyranid Vanguard.... All melee units ( 2 groups of Gene stealers, a lone warrior HQ) minus some gaunts who only managed to dent my Scout Sentinal. the length wise deployment and my long range firepower meant it was Game Over before turn one.
the 1000 point Giant Robot vs Giant Robot was decided with the Knight single handedly obliterating the Ork Morkanaut with support from the Annihilator and a few other tanks and troops.
Im honestly hopeful I don't face the Ork player again. Its not that hes bad or anything, but winning so easily with such landslide victories almost feels bad. I imagine another Totally Crushing Victory will cause Rage. He was on the brink of Orkish Rage after the Knight demolished him. (he agreed to letting me use the Knight....)
The grand total losses of all 3 battles on my end? 1 HWT HB and 3 scions, and some scratched paint on the Knight and a dent in a Scout Sentinel.. that's it.
Anyways. Im also constructing a Baneblade chassis that will become a StormSword
At the moment. Im seeking out a suitably heavy cannon or a barrel for the Siege gun. Something about the size of Big Bertha or a 15inch howitzer.
I might just end up rolling up a sheet of plastic to get the cannon. Ill get back later with painted tanks and perhaps the Stormsword still going. The Kirov is still waiting on its magnets.... they are being shipped to the store apparently.

Its a little blue tank, its adorable. TELL LITTLE TANK HE IS PREETY!!
I don't know why I applied the blue. I figured a little color wouldn't hurt. Perhaps in its old life it fought on a planet that would require the blue camo. *shrug*.
Anyways, it feels "cleaner" then the others, but ill dirty it up and such with a sponge and some nuln oil.
I got some super fine tip sharpies to see if they work with writing on the tanks and they do just fine. The name of the tank "Twin Blade" and the tallies are all done by one of the sharpies and they don't smudge or anything which is good. I wouldn't say they could be used for artwork on the tank but things like Names or text should be easier with these then using a brush, even a super thin one.

The mighty zeppelin has been armed but not completely, it is still missing a few gun turrets.
Due to the scale being so far off, the gun turrets were made from plasticard tubes and left over smoke launchers, also some hull mounted heavy bolters with extended barrels for much larger cannons.
The smaller turrets are likely very large laser weapons or cannon built designed for either AA (like those on the top of the craft) or ground bombardment (like those on the bottom.) the larger guns (one on the nose and one behind the bay) are large caliber bombardment weapons, will likely end up as quake cannons with reduced range (as they point downwards as opposed to being able to angle upwards for distance).
It also has at least 2 or 3 kinds of bombs. the 2 bombs the Marauder bomber can use (Heavy and hellstorm) with no limit to how many it has (it can drop a max of X bombs but it will never run out due to its sheer size and capacity), then finally a series of really powerful bombs that have a limited number.
Im now about 50/50 about putting its propellers on. It currently has its lift engines on (from a stormraven, which at this scale would be really BIG engines.) so it only needs 3 propellers. so I have a 4th spare incase of damage
I also figured out the blue on the Twin Blade. The tanks and units I got all the way from GW itself will be given the blue paintjob, and perhaps some other marking to differentiate them. This will be the Manticore "Thunderstruck", LR Extermiantor "Gladiator", The LR Annihilator "Twin Blade", The baneblade that is being built right now, the scions who have the blue on them already, the taurox and the other hellhound and LR still in the box of pieces Whatever they may be modded into, perhaps a treaded Knight? hehehe

The Kirov is almost finished construction wise, the engines are attached and there are plenty of guns onboard with an AA missile launcher for good measure. I've forgone the magnets on the engines. If only to finish. Im likely going to leave it at the store due to its size A good friend of mine is willing to airbrush the monster aircraft, as I don't have the right color on hand (the tan coloration from the Kirov and of course the shark mouth decal), I could probably find the colors from Hobbytown or something, but I want the aircraft done well. So its only a matter of time until the Kirov will flatten entire armies from its unrelenting stream of bombs and shells... Is that your house?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! Even behind the thick armor of the Gladiator, Sergeant Braxman could hear the xeno's battlecry clear as day, over the roar of his tank's engine and clattering of the quad autocannon's loader. Peering through the vision blocks he could see the green horde ahead, with the howling of the hover drive of the Steel fury on his right kicking up dust everywhere. "Gunner! open up and whatever is closest!! At my mark!!" Braxman ordered into his metal mask, pushing himself through the hatch above him, upholstering both of his bolt pistols. His armored augmented right arm gripped the heavier bolt pistol he had wrenched from the remains of another regiments commissar (or so he thought it was once a commissar, the Orks didn't leave enough to tell) and his still organic left arm griped the lighter standard bolt pistol, pointing them towards the mass of green ahead of him and his tank. As the Orks got closer, the orks melded from a single mass into legions of individuals, each huge, furious, green and waving around cleavers and insanely large pistols and guns with various hammered together vehicles racing and spinning amoung them. A Ork trukk broke the ranks and tore ahead of the pack, its occupants spraying crude rokkets and bullets. "LET' EM HAVE IT!!" Braxman roared into his facemask. The Exterminators unleashed everything they had, the Steel Fury floating into place with its guns blazing, undearneath Braxman the auto loaders whirred and clanked as 40mm shells were quickly and repeatedly loaded, discharged and reloaded into the quad heavy rapid fire guns. As the Trukk was shredded to pieces its occupants jumped out and run as fast as they could at the tanks ahead of them raising hammers high with rokkets strapped to them. Heavy bolters in the Gladiators sponsons opened up, cutting down plenty of the aggressors, but Braxman wanted some kills by his hand, not just by the war machine under his command. Taking aim with his duel pistols, Braxman let loose a barrage of explosive rounds, The orks backflipping and falling as the shells hit them, only relenting as the last one fell and the pistols ran empty. Slamming home another magazine to each pistol, Braxman knew it wasn't over, as the Ork horde continued to surge forward.... The Gladiator has paint job, and like the Twin blade needs to be dirtied up. The other units that came from GW (the Nottingham HQ, as only a few (3 including me) at my local store have been there, its more or less bragging rights if nothing more), will end up with the blue paint, so ill eventually get to those.

Thunderstruck is painted. I think ill paint all the new guys first then when they are all finished ill dirty them up with the oils and such.
I best finish soon. They have seen battle already and need to get dirty. Especially Twin Blade and Gladiator.
Also I got a new shipment of bitz. The parts of a Shadowsword Cannon for the Stormsword so it can finnaly get a gun mounted on it. Some Lascannons from a Stormraven (about 4), engines from a Storm Talon, and 2 metal Cats. (yes, Cats)
So the plans for the LC and jet engines are simple. rig the intakes for the Taurox to be a hover vehicle (I have a flyer base all set for it, heck a smaller base would be fine, which I have plenty of. I just need it to be held up.) The Taurox treads will be built into a pair of Rapier Laser arrays using the Stormraven engines should they be big enough. They should be... at least from estimating the size of the FW model. I can give them a base or mod them a bit should they be a bit too small or big.
The kitties are for me. Fluffwise my commander has a pet cat who is skilled at killing just as much as he is, with powerful claws and lightning fast speed. So I made my Commander.
Commander Martin Andrews.

I am now accepting commissions for any hobby project! I've been in the hobby since '92. Specializing in traditional brush methods, creating a gritty dark aesthetic. From single character models to entire armies. From individual terrain pieces to entire table tops. From tabletop level to masterclass level painting. From purchasing and assembly to leveling up your assembled armies paint job. If it has to do with the hobby I can do it! Hit me up and let's chat about your project! |
