The Stormsword is up and running.

Salvaged like several of the super heavy tanks in the 91st in an area on Schrott that is only referred to as "The Valley of the Giants", the new Stormsword was likely once a Shadowsword in its past life, but its entire upper superstructure was blasted off from something, likely an enemy titan or super heavy, but what exactly is unknown. The hull was in good condition when found underneath the rubble of a fortress. It was restored with a new super structure and cannon, with a heavy shell elevator in its side and cooling system on the opposite one.







Ill get some more rivets and things on it then ill base it and all. Allegedly there will be 2 monthly Apoc matchs. So a new giant tank will help. It will also screw over any Tau or elder guy (or anyone) that wants to hide in cover, the template is so huge, and powerful (with no cover added on for awesomeness), so riptides and other things beware! your troops will be turned to paste with a single shot!!

Built a little Rapier laser gun.



I mounted it on a HWT base (or dread base, if it has a title). just incase if its too small. It only has 2 barrels due to not having enough lascannons on hand. plus these are larger bore barrels from what I can tell from the quad unit. these came off a stormraven so Im sure that's how it could work.

I heard you can load one of these puppies into a Chimera and use them as a mobile AT weapon. really bulky sure, but it can be done. I need to find out how effective they might be.



Will still get a second unit up and running with a the other set of treads of from the Taurox.

They will eventually get the gun shield, and a few tid bitz.

You are building an epic collection.

Eventually I have to chain myself to a chair and count the points of everything. The often said "60,000+ points of armored firepower" is an estimate done by some of friends at my local store. Using WYSIWYG of course for every single thing. It would probly help my group in the up coming Apoc on the 31st

The biggest problem is that I do not think I have enough individual guardsmen to forms coherent platoons. I think im at some strange odd number. I think Ill have to do it per squad (10 guys) with special weapons added in and HWT separately (sets of 3). Im sure there is a "1 Guardsmen = X" but I tend to use Vet's a lot, but im probably fretting over something minor as a title (Vets squad vs a infantry squad).

That and I've discovered I need some legs and torso's to continue the Rapier Project. Supposedly they come in groups of 3. At the same time, I want some of those Weapons platforms from FW that can replace a HWT squad in a platoon and they have Interceptor and Skyfire standard....

TL Lascannon Interceptor Skyfire x3 for less then a hydra and are infantry so I can bring a bunch of them? Yes please! The necron guy with his flying crescents can make sure they will crash to pieces! sure they are more vulnerable, but at least they can be turned on everything they can see and should flyers come in ZAP!!! Building them should be easy (and acquiring the lascannons too) but I always have heads, and arms, but never enough torsos or legs (expecially legs).

I'll need a bitz drop.

In the mean time, I can atleast build the 2nd rapier unit with the other treads for the Taurox, build the Taurox itself and make it hover, then build a Chimera chassis into something (maybe another hellhound to complete the set of 3), and a Russ. I've made some blueprints for a Steam Russ (or atleast its a insanely rough concept paper on it with doodles).

Hah! Someone finally found a good use for those Taurox threads

BEHOLD THE MIGHT OF THE EMPEROR AND OMNISSIAH!!!


I apparently have so much armor now that I can barely fit my troops on the table. I only managed to fit the HWT, the 1 new Rapier carrier, my Commanders (without squads), rough riders, scions, and Section 9 "Space Marines".

Otherwise the whole dining room table is covering in a massive Colum of armor with a Bastion and Aquila Strong Point in the back with my War Zeppelin above, and Atomic Cannon in the middle

I managed to WYSIWYG count my Leman Russ tanks and my Super heavys.

SHV (not counting the Zeppelin and Atomic Cannon as they don't have a proper points cost,) is 6,330 points. 8 baneblade chassis, 4 Malcadors and 3 Macharius. I accidently forgot the CRASSUS though. Ill get it later.

My Leman Russ tanks (plus the Destroyer tank hunters) is 4,150 all together.

I have not calculated troops and the lighter artillery

My estimates at the moment are 20,000 or 30,000. sure its a lot less then "60,000+". But that was an estimate by friends at my local game store and I was too lazy to count so I ran with it. currently at 10,480 with the SHV (minus CRASSUS) and LR tanks together. that's still a lot all things considered.

Current points count (with SHV + CRASSUS, all LR tanks, and the lighter armor and artillery + aircraft) is about 13,651. My estimation of 20,000 is close. But I still need to add all the fortifications, infantry, elite units, and HQs.

I came across the Hades breaching drill in my reading of my Imperial armor book. Another way to make Tau cry perhaps? hehehe. I still have the remains of the tiny French tanks hull that was never built. from what I remember it should be the right size, approx the length of a chimera chassis but much thinner (practically half as thin). The hull is missing its road wheels as they were uneven and the rubber treads were insanely long and didn't fit. But with some working I bet I can fit a giant drillbit on it and super structure. There is an Ork guy who I've been facing a few times (not the Morkanaut one, different guy) and every time he packs Lootas in the corner or some backfield cover. I wonder how he would take a Drill erputing underneath him and Vet's with shotguns and flamers jumping out?\

Still counting all my men though. Ill get back to it after my weekly visit to the Local game store for their 40k night. Ill bring the new Stormsword along, should be fun... for me... not them...hehehe

I had my Apoc Battle (finnaly).

Unfortunately like the other ones only myself and a few other actually showed up. It was planned that 6 or more would show up. but only 3 made it (myself included).

It ended up 10,000 of my tanks and troops. Vs 5k of Luna Wolves (With horus) and 4k of Dark Angels +eldar.



It was straight kill points and I lost mainly due to the fact I had more things to die (i.e I was worth more kill points then they had).
I still managed to do severe damage to the space marine forces including wounding Horus himself who cowered with his "invisibility" psyker thing hiding from the vengeance of my heavy weight templates, but with sheer volume of shots I managed to get 3 wounds off of him (of 6 total). SO in theory I could have prevented the Horus Heresy if I managed to kill him ( hahaha).

My Super heavy tanks took a lot of the brunt of the force, with damage to the Baneblade Thunderfury (knocked out) and new Stormsword "Death's Doorknocker" (knocked out by Horus) and The Pyro Infernus tank damaged by outflanking Bikers (its explosive vengeance maimed many of them)
But each of them took out a heavy toll on the enemy. Death's Doorknocker wiped out an entire devastator squad in a single blast from its main gun then shot 1 dread dead with its lascannons and 1 Aigis Quadgun with its heavy bolters, while not its full cost, its was a tactical achievement as the devestators were armed with nothing but lascannons for my tanks.

The Thunderfury tore into the flank of several Land Raiders doing hull point damage to them and a squad of Rapier Carriers
(note: I don't know if there is a difference between 30k rapiers and my FW: IA ones but his shot twice at TL and my book only showed 1 shot with TL, so he might have cheated but its minor)

The Pryo and Cold Hearted B**** unleash fire and ice and destroyed a large squad of bikers, including those that knocked out the Pyro.

The Engine of War shadowsword damaged Horus's Spartan and killed 2 Land Raiders in single shots and survived the battle with no damage.

my Knight, the Mark 1 received heavy damaged but managed to cleave a hovering StormEagle in half before being teleported away.

In the end, the Ark Mechanicus ForgeHammer used its teleportarium system to evacuate the tanks and troops at the realization of what time period they had emerged into. Risk to damaging the timeline was too great. As they had arrived to the timeline by wiring the Chrono Tank "Time Lord" to the Forgehammers workings, they had to use the same set up to escape to the original present time. (there never was a narrative made for the Apoc, but the idea of accidental time travel is amusing. and in theory at least within the lore... time travel can and has happened.)

The Game ended after 3 full turns, one of the Space Marine players had to leave for a movie or something. which wrapped up the game.


The battle was fun but now that pushes me to move forward with the Ordinatus and other machines. Im debating if a Titan Melta Cannon, or a Laser Blaster (essentially 3 turbo lasers taped together) would be a good weapon against the onslaught of Land Raiders (in total between them there were like 5 or 6 deployed with a Spartan at its head). Either way, it will be devastating.... Such a giant artillery piece brought against my foes. IN theory...... A Minoris can equip "Battle Titan Weapons" so says the lore. so I could possibly bolt a (single) Imperator titans main gun to the top of the machine with slight modifications to my design (like slight increase in length or width with additional tracks and suspension). so maybe a Hellstorm cannon or Vengeance Cannon bolted into a huge turret......with smaller defensive weapons and heavy armor of course.

Down bellow the black mass of the Hive city covered the earth almost to either end of the vast armaglass observation room's windows. Bombardier-Captain Kretov surveyed his target with a glass of amasec in his hand, absently sipping from it, savoring the occasion not for the drink but for the destruction he was about to singlehandedly bring forth. Further down he could see his allies, the 91st Experimental, the Leman Russ tanks appearing as tiny squares and the infantry mere specs on the amber sand below, but even at this altitude each tank could be told apart by their experimental weapons and designs and the super heavies still bore their incredible size. But even the Super Heavies paled in size to the Bombardier-Captains vessel. It was no Imperial Navy Ship but the Rage of the Heavens was a mighty craft like no other. It was a vast airship painted with a grinning sharp toothed mouth and eyes, its armor thick enough to deter everything but the most potent weapons and plenty of direct fire artillery and anti aircraft weapons. but its signature feature was not its heavy caliber weapons but the unending torrent of heavy bombs it could unleash, not to mention carrying multiple Colossus Bombs. Bombs that were so large and powerful a Marauder bomber could only carry a single one after stripping out many weapons and armor to carry it. But not the Rage of the Heavens, it could carry many more and utterly flatten anything underneath it. Down below a flash from the tanks cannons heralded the start of the attack, the gate of the Hive city toppled from the weight of fire. The intercom systems crackled shortly after, "Captain, a message from the Commander" Comms-man Biren dully reported.
"Go head Comms-man" Kretov replied, not removing his gaze from the Hive city ahead of his craft.
" 'Descend to attack altitude, clear the way. Make sure to introduce yourself to the heretic Governor, Herman Drasnor'" Biren read off.
A grin almost as wide of the one adorning the ship opened up on Kretov's face "Herman Drasnor?... I Don't think we've met..."
Kretov stood with his grin leering down at the city before him. "All engines full!, prepare all systems for combat!"

The tanks fired again into the spires where Herman's troops held strong. Drasnor could see the battle from his central spire. His men would hold out until he told them to retreat, by then his new contacts would arrive and bring reinforcements. But soon he saw something that had what color in his face he still had drain away to nothingness. The clouds slowly parted and a flying behemoth emerged, smiling at him. It loomed over the encroaching tanks, casting its vast shadow upon them. The Voxcaster behind Herman exploded with panic, voice upon voice of fear from his troops calling for orders, uncertain of what to do, just sheer panic. Herman was more frightened then his men could comprehend. The Looming beast soon was overhead of the first line of Herman's defenses. Columns of fire and flame soon erupted from the defensive lines far to large to be cannon fire from the tanks, they could only be bombs. The Vox caster filled with screams of death and terror behind Herman but there was nothing he could do, the fear had welded his feet to the floor and his eyes to the approaching monster craft grinning at him, looking down at him. He had defied the Imperium.... His punisher had come.... The next series of defenses vanished in a single huge blast of death and destruction, the blast even shaking the windows infront of Herman. The relentless bombing paved and flattened every building between Herman's spire and the approaching tanks until he could practically see glint in the eyes of the looming machine. The Vox suddenly silenced. The voices stopped, only to leave a dull crackeling.
The pause felt like 3 lifetimes, before the Vox crackled alive again with a single husky, questioning yet mocking voice. "Herman Drasnor? Is that your house?"

The quake cannon on the nose of the Rage of the Heavens fired making the observation room shudder, slicing the spire in half. Taking another sip of his amesec Kretov sat back into his lounge chair. Biren voxed on the intercom "Sir, Commander Andrews orders coming in. 'pursue enemy forces, destroy at your discretion'".
Kretov put his grin back on quickly and replied "Leave...nothing..."





My Kirov is almost done. Semester ended finally so I can get back to work and got a chance to actually paint and start building again. I managed to get it mostly painted and even its trademark Eyes and Teeth from the Kirov. I also printed out the Imperial Aquila and carefully cut it out with my knife to make a stencil. I sprayed the Aquila on its port (left) side, but still need to go over it to clean it up. Need to get its name up on it too. I have plenty of tanks in boxes ready to go. Not to mention my Ordinatus hull which needs completion. Ill finish up the Kirov, the Rage of the Heavens in the mean time.

Im finally getting a chance to get back to work on my machines.
To get back into the rhythm ill start on a Malcador Annihilator built from the spare Panzer 4 hull. The design will be angular and bulky like the other Panzer 4 hulled tank the Citadel of Vengeance. With frontal Demolisher Cannon and Twin lascannons in a casemate.

I have plenty of Designs ready to go. not to mention the new knights that have been released gave me a bunch of ideas. Like the one equipped with a Lightning cannon could instead hold a big Tesla Coil for one arm with electrodes and things. Or one wielding a giant gatling cannon and so on.

I think after the Malcador ill get a Macharious Omega built with a self propelled Tesla Cannon on a big tank hull.

Malcador Annihilator has finished construction.




Not sure what to name him yet. He has the same Panzer 4 hull like the Citadel of Vengeance (actually being another kit for a jagdpanzer 4 that I got alongside the panzer 4 for the Citadel) so he is as compact as the Citadel if not more so .

Carrying a frontal Demolisher Cannon,a limited transverse TL Las cannon, and sponson mounted las cannons he is ready to rock.



Perhaps a few tiny details to the rear and... as always... paint.

Next I need to cobble together a Battlefortress for a friend of mine. I had promised him I could make him a Ork fortress and now that I have gotten warmed up with this little machine I can beat together something.
I have a few ideas but it shouldn't be too hard. They are approximately the same size as a baneblade right?

THe Malcador Annihilator is just about done.
The Defender of Knowledge.





The Stormsword has gotten a bit of paint but isn't 100% complete.





The Castle Crusher has long since already gleaned kills from the Apoc match, but its still needs some touches of paint. The blue coloring is means the tank (or the hull is anyways) from a series of tanks I got from GW HQ. Like the Gladiator exterminator leman russ tank.

I finally got some time off for a tad bit of paint!!



I got the Wyvern and Trojan painted up finnaly. Since they come from hulls that came from the box of tanks from the GW HQ they are clad in the cleaner blue markings. More bragging rights then anything else; being one of the few people at my store to have actually went there.

I also managed to get my Commander finished. Im not gonna flock it (or whatever adding the grass and stuff to the base is called.) I think Im just too lazy. His cat "Tipsy" is also painted up and ready to kill some Xenos and Heretics!






I ordered myself a pair of little tanks that are the size of Leman Russes.

A T-80 Light tank which is really close and a T-37 amphibious tank which is almost the exact width and length of a leman russ model I dout it is as tall but I plan to modify its single small machine gun turret for something larger like Annihilator twin lascannons or even a Conqueror Cannon for some fast maneuvering cavalry tanks.

If I find the T-37 Amphibious tank to be the perfect alternate Leman Russ ill have to get another or 2.
I actually went out and calculated the tanks of 1/35th scale into cm and compared to them to the pre-known size of a Leman russ. so far the T-37, VK1602 Leopard, and M22 Locust seem to the be the ideal Russ stand ins. at half the price no less.

I also demolished one of my Baneblades to build a Kill Busta for a friend, the Maus Tank.
The front weapons were... crude and there were other things I wasn't thrilled about. Due to their original intention to go another friend who has long since stopped coming to the store.
The turret will be repurposed for something else at some point.

As for future big project. I saw the recent Stormhammer for the Solar Auxilla. It doesn't have enough Dakka..... It is likened to a navel Destroyer due to its independent operations.
I have plans for something more akin to a Battleship. The Godhammer.

The T-80 Soviet Light tank was delivered a few days ago and I got to work on it.

The T-80, like the T-37 is the perfect size for a Leman Russ Tank, If it is larger or smaller in any way its down to single digit mm that are hard to spot with the naked eye.



I hooked in a pair of lascannons for an Annihilator Russ. Its ability to move and still fire with accuracy and having an Anti Tank punch will make it work great against the enemy armor I've been seeing at the store lately, including but not limited to a Stompa.

wedging the hull cannon in wasn't as much of a chore as I though it would be, the biggest issue with the model being the tracks are all in individual links which drives me buggy. So I got lazy and cheated. building the bottom tracks and enough to cover the sprocket wheel and idler wheel then putting the plate on the outside covering up the fact the tracks don't go all the way around.

The hatchs on the tank were surpisingly large enough and shaped well enough to get a commander sticking out of the hatch, holding the hatch itself in front of him and directing his tank with a storm bolter on his right.

Ill get some Heavy Bolter sponsons put onto it and more little bits.



While the T-37 is on its way, I dug through my bitz box and found the hull of that Stuart I got long ago. DOn't know how it got buried but Im gonna get him done so I don't manage to forget and have him buried in the boxes again.
Ill cover up the flat turret with plastic and get some hatchs and give him a short barreled Conqueror Cannon among other things.

ALso numerous other vehciles are at least enough parts to make a whole bunch.

The Stuart hulled Conqeror Russ came together faster then I thought it would.
Its now fully loaded with cannon, sponsons, Storm bolter and lascannon.

It even has a single large hatch that covers the top of the wide turret.



The T-80 Annihilator is done as well. the sponsons are on and its ready for basing and paint.



I still have plenty of parts for more tanks. then there is the Kill Busta amoung other things.

The other russ I had in parts is built.
Same with a Chimera hull I bolted together into a Manticore with pieces of a wyvern/hydra upper hull and plasticard. More artillery is always good.

The Russ is rigged into a Conqueror Russ with sponsons built from the remains of the Predator bolters that once consisted of the frontal bolters of the Maus Baneblade which has since been scrapped.






Both will of course get more bits and pieces and paint
.

Wow tanks everywhere, some really nice looking conversions there.
But my favorite bit has to be Tipsy the cat . Just out of curiosity, where did you find the cat mini? as the scale looks perfect.

I can't remember where I got the cat model exactly.

I think its from Reaper Miniatures, this "Familiars pack" thing with various animals. But I remember getting the cat separately, which is the only confusing thing. 2 of them infact.

https://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/cat/latest/02969

The character of Tipsy if based on a character my best friend made on deviantart, technically the speicies is a Sand Cat for the DA character, but here in this case its unknown exactly the species Tipsy is.
I plan to get a female commissar model and have the other cat model with it.

Ah man haha you are a great charater! I enjoy watching you glue bits together but in the army picture it doesnt look uniform enough.
- Autism speaks

sub'd. a lot of interesting ideas here.

i really like the look of a lot of your conversions. i personally think they would fit more with an CSM (especially that tank with the huge speaker on front for some noise marines) or ork army (Looted Lemans FTW), which is what made me look through the whole thread, as i am in the process of building up a 10,000 point ork army...also recently decided on making all my space marines Mentor Legion, who use some IG stuff themselves.

you seem to use a lot of sprue...could you not get extruded styrene (plastistruct or evergreen)? don't get me wrong, some of the stuff you have done with sprue bits i will use myself (especially liked your use of sprue as barrel/muzzle brake decoration). just seems like some of it would be easier with the styrene.

The usage of sprue is due to availability and cheapness. Its with every kit

The styrene I can find but I don't use it as often its price makes it hard to come by. Im aware its only like $3 per pack of like 2 or 3 pieces (this is from observations from my hobbystore where I get the sheets of plasticard/styrene etc) but getting tubes, sheets,glue and all the price adds up quickly and I have a tight budget.

Ill have to get some next time.

there are some really good deals online for extruded tubing, et.al. ebay has a bunch of stuff, but the one i like most i found today:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121559596361?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
$20 seems like a lot, but if you know someone else that does scratch building, split the cost and the materials--which should still be more than enough--and bada-bing.

just a suggestion, man. i remember when my budget was that tight...think that's why i collect orks. they're ridiculously cheap.

Work continues.



2nd Tri Track Russ is coming together. the Design layout is different from the last one. I also got a few of those plastic bars like Gaw' said.
They work very well. The uniform thickness/size across makes it easier as I don't have to hunt for pieces of sprue that are the same size of the length of the part I want.


Ill have to get back to work after the weekend. Might get some tinkering with the TriTrack but that's about it.

Got a little bit of paint done over weekend.

Little Blitz the M8 Stuart hulled Russ conversion.




I also managed to get some paint on the T-80 Annihilator. I thought that a tad bit of green like the soviet tanks get in my games like War Thunder wouldn't hurt. I still need to fade it a bit to make the silver more prominent, not to mention finish it.


I have decided to go ahead with the Ordinantus project. An Ordinantus Minoris mounting a Vengeance Cannon, a weapon usually mounted on an Emperor Titans arm. I might build a second gun for it, the Plasma Annihilator, later. Just as soon as I finish the Kill Bursta.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
glued toegether the Kill Bursta Tank for my friend.
Not sure what ill price it out as. Ill get to that later.



Its built out of the Maus Tank that I scrapped. It wasn't a very good one of my Super heavy tank anyways, and was a quick build anyways. The most intensive part was assembling the suspension. Its giant Maus Turret will go on to be bolted to something else. Not sure what though.



I should be able to get to work on the Ordinantus now. Ill get back to the TriTrack russ later whiel I still have the momentum for larger units.

While building the Ordinantus frontal hull. origionally a Baneblade hull. I decided to go big.

A third hull from a bulldog for the frontal hull will bring it up to Ordinantus Majoris scale.



Origionally I had planned a Minoris instead, armed with either an Emperor Titans Vengeance Cannon or Plasma Annihilator, both of which would have been devastating weapons. Perhaps for another time.


I hope to mount a Sonic Disruptor to the machine. The weapon that will bring any fortress or army to its knees. The weapon that makes mountains crumble and cities vanish
At this moment. I hope to have some kind of hybrid between the designs of old and the newer one that forgeworld displayed.


old


new

The old elements will be its size and triple hulls with multiple other weapons onboard.
The newer elements will be the streamlined weapon design. My Sonic Disruptor will be big absolutely but will be less like a giant radar dish and more a long gun-like device.

I've already started to link the hulls together. the bulldog hull has a hinge on its rear that will connect to the baneblade hull, the baneblade will be linked to the Hunter Killer Tank hull.


Right now Im not 100% on its weapon loudout but this is an idea to throw out there.

Main gun: Sonic Disruptor
I will need to find some way to nerf this mega weapon. The lore states that it can essentially win a war with a single shot.


Im still working on how to make it powerful but not an auto "I WIN" button. But One thing is certain. The blast radius might end up larger then the standard templates with plenty of D strength hits and terrain will be obliderated by it.

Secondary weapons:

HK hull.
Sponson: TL Heavy Bolters and Targeters (essentially baneblade sponsons)

Baneblade hull:
Casemate with either a Baneblade cannon or single barrel turbo laser
Sponsons: TL Heavy Bolters with LC

bulldog hull
TL Heavy Bolter turret
Leman Russ Turret (Leman russ weapons.)

Heavy Bolter Sponsons.

Work continues.

The forward unit of the Ordinatus is armed but not fully complete construction wise.



So far its been armed with a Punisher Cannon, a Multi Metla in the hull and Auto cannon Sponsons.

I need to find thins like the frontal drivers hatch amoung other things, a turret hatch and plenty of other things.



The Middle hull of the Ordinatus (the Baneblade hull) will have a wide flat command deck with a casemate on its top that hold a Turbolaser (for anything that doesn't warrant the Sonic Disruptors attention) and will get some baneblade sponsons and perhaps a pair of AA guns on its flanks.

The rearmost hull (The Hunter Killer Tank hull) will have a big armored platform to hold the Sonic Disruptor weapon and have additional sponsons.

The Fore and Middle unit of the Ordinatus are almost done.
So far they are armed as such.



Fore Unit
Turret Mounted Punisher Cannon
Sponson Auto cannons x2
Hull mounted MultiMelta

Mid Unit.



Mounted above the command deck
Casemate mounted Turbo Laser
Twin Turreted AA AutoCannons. Independent targeting
Forward missile Launcher (Krak and Frag) (2 shots)

Will eventually have Baneblade sponsons. i.e TL Heavy Bolter and turret mounted Lascannon.

The rear unit will of course have a Sonic Disruptor onboard and maybe another set of Baneblade sponsons.



This monstrosity will of course be under multiple layers of shields on top of its already thick armor. Not to mention the full escort it will have at all times when deployed. wrapped to such a degree no drop pod or deepstrike could get close.


I also got The Kil Bursta to my friend today and he loved it. His orks already don't have much in the way of armor. Every time I faced him he had to borrow the stores Battlewagon and trukks to even compete with my armor. All of which would be shredded by my tanks.
I went over the rules of the Kil Busta and it looks to be a nasty machine by itself, A really big gun and all the other abilities it has make it scary. How effective it is I don't know but its a target that must go if spoted.

Ill post a picture if when he paints it.

In the meantime I must wait for the baneblade sponsons and build the platform for the Sonic Disruptor. The design of the weapon itself im working on. A hybrid between the old version and the new one. That and I need to make rules for it that is not an instant win!!!

Perhaps a lower power setting due to close range combat? This is a weapon capable of turning entire hive cities to dust with a single thunderous blast, able to make mountains crumble at its command, able to bring armies to their knee just by showing up! Maybe its power level is toned down when firing as close to itself as the tabletop could be? IN theory the weapon could fire over miles and the tabletop very close range for such a weapon. Like launching an ICBM in the same county as the silo or at most a few clicks away from itself.

Either way its gotta be powerful but not gamebreaking!!!

That is absolutely beautiful. Excellent absurd tank conversion. Super deathray for the win.

I am glad that my Ordinatus is about to have a friend.

Does yours have rules for its primary weapon? The Hellfire Missile Battery/Launcher? Im still having a hard time figuring out something powerful but fair for the Sonic Disruptor.


The Mid hull and the rear hull have a superstructure between them now with a rough hinge inbetween them


Now to begin the super structure that will hold the primary weapon itself. The original epic model almost has a skeletal frame to it. With I Beams and scaffolding. But other depictions have a almost solid building appearance. At the same time the actual device itself will probably be very hefty so I need to make something that can take some actual weight. I might reinforce the thing with something. what exactly Im not sure.

Annoyingly my brother thought the sensor array on the Mid hull unit was the sonic disruptor. It is far from that, but I figure ill give the sonic disruptor (and only that weapon on the unit) a higher BS then the rest.
