I know that I have other Showoff threads, though I think that this is would be nice. So please, show your apocalypse armies. Those of you with Warhammer fantasy battle armies of Apocalyptic size may post to. I also want this to be a thread of Apocalypse Ideas. What I mean is that I want a place for people to bounce Apocalypse datasheet Ideas, such as mine.

Okay, for Ork players, I was thinking of a Savage Orc Tribe. This would be 500pts plus models, and would be about 500-1,000 points of Warhammer Fantasy Orcs. They would use rules like Figure of Mork, meaning that as long as the 40K Ork Warboss is in play, they would be Stubborn, and Unbreakable.


What do you think?

My apocalypse army is still in it's box :(

jabbakahut wrote:My apocalypse army is still in it's box :(

SO MUCH WIN!, Im saving that ok?

Great googley moogley.

And I thought I had a lot of unpainted plastic laying around. lol

Um my picks might be a while at least Friday.
Four company's of marines and then some.

I wish I had an apoc sized army lol, wait but then id NEVER paint them.

Good God thats alot of marines! How much do you have there if you don't mind me asking?

SPESH MARIENS!!

lots of them.... all those +3 armor saves..

JEZUZ! dude, open a blog and get started! or give it to me...





I CALL DIBBS!

Thanks. At least 200 Marines still in box (x2 battle company box sets). A few apoc formations, 3 or so dreads, a shelf of speeders. A scout squad, few vet squads.

Here's the, mostly empty, boxes from mine.
Fortunately all I have left to paint is 24 gaunts, 24 hormagaunts, 20 odd ripper swarms a couple of mid sized bit's (lictors/fexes/ a malanthrope etc).
My Hierophant and my 4 Hierodules are still unassembled. I'm being good and saving them as a treat for when I have finished the chaff.
That should take me to at least 10K!
Hopefully I will be able to build both winged and a tunnellling swarms when the new codex comes out, so my completion date for this stuff is Jan.
A silly 2000 pt 6xtrygon/?xRavener and a 2000 pt 200xGargoyle type list should bump up the total to around 15,000!

Sorry for the lack of finished pics but they will come when it is all done. You will just have to be patient.
In the meantime look up my Tyranid army in my gallery.

The quality isn't great, and most of it is unpainted (though more of it is done now), but this is what I got. Just in case you REALLY can't see properly there are

2 tyrants (1 winged)
1 broodlord
3 tyrant guard
2 lictors
18 warriors
60 gaunts
60 hormagaunts
48 genestealers
2 zoanthropes
6 carnifexes

This is the Tzeentch/Nurgle force I used in the last local Apoc battle.

Nice, just so you know, you don't have to have them all painted.

Suddenly I've got this rather unsettling feeling of being enormously out-gunned, out-manned and simply out-classed.. AT ONCE!

Well, what do you play?

I must find a pic or take a pic of my Dark Eldar.

Its about half painted but all undercoated at least.

Is over 4000 points ok? lol

Does anyone have an Emperor's Fist tank company? I would love to see one!

Jeeze some of these armies have alot (even the ones still in box ) Ill have to take some pictures of my ork/chaos army (Its apacolypse...Im allowed to ally them GOSH!) and post some pics... I mite go get it all out rite now actually I need to get ready for tanksgiving anyways riote?

@jabbakahut, please start a blog.

even if you only did a box a month there is at least 36 months worth of the blog there on the shelve from what i can count.

sorry to hijack the thread but i think everyone shud start message until we get a blog

Thanks, expect it in the new year.

Ok so I did end up going and getting my stuff out (not all of the armies mind you) and I got to where I was in the picture and got tired of getting stuff out so I just stopped there.... Theres still about 200-250 orks not in the picture and a number of other random things Id rather not take the time to count

Indeed all the stompas have LED lights in them (And speakers for that matter... Gotta love playing Austrian Death Machine thru your stompa mid battle) and Im still gonna put some in the Looted Baneblade(Skullhamma) and Looted Stormlord... Army has a bunch of repairs to be made and I need to strip all the currently primed/painted orks so I can paint them with a new technique but in due time...

Dude, thats quite a damn lot of stuff! Speakers in the Stompas?!? lol

Paint more of it! (I also have to say that to myself)

Newt-Of-Death wrote:Speakers in the Stompas?!? lol

Yeah I decided it was needed heres a quick video I took of it... the quality is... TERRIBLE... I will eventually take another one when I can find my phone (some reason my phone takes reasonably good video)... Its hard to see but theres wires going through the head and down through the back. Theres a missing LED where you see the hole in one eye on the face plate over chest too...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orEMwERlJgY

I have an entire Emperor's fist tank company. I'll try to pull them out and take a good photo in the next day or so.

This is most of My Khorne Army. The rest of the bid baddies would not fit. Its about 8000 points.

Nice, there are some grade A conversions in this. I especially like the Skull hamma. I think that the Chaos people are good, especilly the purply one. that goes to show that you could be purple and all pinkish and still be terrifying.

Also, soes the amound of points in the Tank company allow infantry? I am thinking of making an army that includes one, and still has a large amount of infantry.

Ok, here is my Ork Apocalypse Army. 300+ Ork Green Tide, Bully Boyz Formation, 4 Superheavy Vehicles, 4 Forgeworld, and a Grot in a peartree. In total 20551 points worth of Orks and 584 models on the table.








Now, my less impressive Tau Apocalypse Army:

[/img][/img]

13,000 points of iron warriors

wish i had a better image

Those ranks of Orks reminds me of LotR, awesome! Charge!

Wow. I suddenly feel like I own practically nothing. I need to buy more super-heavies!!

I lost track on how much my Ork army cost. I would say $125,000 since I needed to buy a house to keep them in.

Well,

I just have to show off my pride and joy... My Deathwing and Ravenwing. These pics are old, as I have increased the size of my Ravenwing to 6 full attack squadrons, 4 full support squadrons, and command squadron.
I also have all apocalypse formations (except flyers/titans) such as 4x whirlie suppression force, 7 dready assault force, Line Breaker squadron, Armoured Spearhead, amd full 3rd company of space marines and 2 custom Scibor sculpts for my chaper master and chapter champion Enjoy

Nice, I especially like the Chaos Army, as in armies like that you usually don't see too many Drop pods.

I did not know that you could buy, let alone field that many Termies!

All the stuff



Pushing 50K points of Ultramarines

AND 50K points of Cadian IG

AND 6K of Orks

Well in that case, I'm sure I would have a more impressive pile of boxes if I kept them empty.

Sweet Lord I think there are more GW products in one of these pictures than I have bought over the last ten years.

Green tide versus Armoured company. 3.5K each side, IG have first turn

I'm playing IG, my son is Orks. I'm thinking keep the tanks static and pie plate da boyz,

get the Vendy behind his Stompa and drop off the vets with demos, meltas and the vortex grenade, then try to roll up the left flank with the melta vets in Chims. What do you think?

hot damn thats alot of unpainted models

Good luck painting all those models!

I like that you have a back drop, I've thought about making some sort of removable wall/backdrop that could double as an apocalypse display.

@extrenm(54) Now That is an army I want to play against! If I were to own Chaos your army is pretty much it

@Pipboy101 someday I will be able to match your unpainted model count. But awesome army nonetheless.

@WarsmithMorgoth I feel really bad your Iron Warriors no longer have there own special rules...

....Did mik buy several speartips or whatever they are called....DAMN SWEET either or.

Nice, though some of you should get a Blog going, as painting all of those minis would be great fun!

Brotheralexos wrote:Nice, though some of you should get a Blog going, as painting all of those minis would be great fun!

I was actually thinking about doing that after I get my chaos dragon finished (Ive been working on that thing way too long ) since Ive been avoiding painting my armies till I get it done :( even though theres a few armies I am really enjoying painting... Im afraid if I get to into it I wont be able to stop and wont ever get my dragon done :(

Well, I am waiting for one more package of AoBR Orks to come in and I am hitting it hard core like it is going out of style. It will be my own 520 attempt even though I have 584 modles on the table.

Here is my crusade fleet Gorgon, still have more marines to build though.

Wow you guys are NUUUUTS!!! I love it. Not going to lie though, I'm glad i dont have that much stuff. Its would never get painted and i would just get really sad. Hell i'm having a hard time painting my 2500 Points of Orks. Grats to everyone who has the patients to paint 10,000+ points.

you all have far too much disposable income... i am jealous

Its not that, we just gather all of this over time

Mine is here.

2 Predator (annihilators with heavy bolter sponsons).
2 whirlwinds.
2 Vindicators

And my 'Myrmidon' Heavy Assault strider (counts-as Warhound) with turbo laser destroyer and plasma blaster (optional vulcan megabolter). It stands the full 10" tall.

Only picture I have:


I'll have to get a better shot of my Marines. My 3rd company is almost finished (Between 50-60 Marines last I counted), and I've gotten started on the 1st and 2nd

Heres my list got no pics though. Camera broke....

Unforunately i have no super heavys and no drop pods. This is my one weakness. They are all partilly painted.
Captain loken leads the 10th.

DDDDDDDAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

Well since we are doing non pic explanations

full Ultramarines battle company with 8 rhinos 1 razorback
full Ravenguard battle company razorback fw land raider
full Imperial fists battle company will be drop podded 1 drop pod
Ragnars great company will be drop podded 1 thunderhawk
wolfhound titan
The Fortress of Arrogance
Baneblade
Reaver titan soon to be a christmas pressy
that is it for the imperium

about 6000 points for chaos
and 4000 points for orks

Not that it really feels like much after seeing some of these pictures, but...



Roughly 8,300 points of Ultramarines, about half unpainted. Saving up for Christmas presents at the moment, but come January I intend to about double this and also throw in a Titan (finally) and 3-4 Baneblades.

I bought my first AoBR box about a year ago, and since then I've pulled together everything in this pic, 2000 points of Necrons, 1500 points of Orcs, about 1000 points of Tau, and around 6000+ points of WHF Ogres. It's a very, very addicting hobby, lol! I'm slowly working up to you guys that have been playing for years ans years, but as of right now I see these pics and think things like, "If I sold my TV/360/MTG collection/car I could buy some more Terminators/Land Raiders/a Baneblade."

Yes, I did consider selling my POS car for the cash to get a Spear of Sicarius and some other stuff. Is there a hotline I can call?

The amount of unpainted models in this thread is making me cry. Props to General Mayhem and that nice mini-apocalypse battle report though. Nothing stirs the blood like hundreds of painted models killing each other on a nice battlefield.

Well I'm working on it...nearing the finishing stages of another 13 gaunts (taking my total finished gaunts up to 35) and my flyrant and 2 guard are complete. Also a couple of fexes have been completed since I took the pic (about 2 months ago).

It's slow progress though.

Staying on topic some of these army sizes are very humbling.

OOOHH! Niddies!

Apocalypse description thread!


I wonder if this is the only thread that contains a miniature hello kitty water cooler.

I could post mine but transporting all of that is a pain my van is sick and my roller skate can't fit it all.
but here is some of it


^x 3


Thunderhawk needs finishing

Wow guys, I've got to tell you, seeing this thread and its posts really opens my eyes. The fact that some of us has so much commitment to the game and the army they play makes me feel all warm and fuzy inside. It really makes me remember why I started in the first place!

I guess if I had stuck to a single army I'd be enjoying forces this big by now. But hey, I suppose some of us just like to dabble in other armies.

Those of you who have enough unassembled NIB models to start your own GW store, you do not impress me. Let's see them assembled! Let's see you in the battle!

And when you get there, you can face off against my Ork Army! WAAGGHHH!

DANG!

Even though the number of Orkses in your pictures happen to be insane, that still does not permit you to scream "WAAAAAAGH!" at the start of every assault phase.

The lack of FW super heavies or any super heavies in this thread makes me cry

Lextheimpaler wrote:The lack of FW super heavies or any super heavies in this thread makes me cry

I think I posted 7 superheavies with mine and with with 6 missing :( May not be a huge amount but it still was posted! GOSH

ITS A FLAKKING TRICERATOPS.( Squiggoth, amirite)

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES.

Here are a pics that has a bit of my Guard army, and some of my friend's Eldar. All done in an even grey pattern with some bare-metal highlights:





And Planetstrike can be like Apoc, right?

now thats what im talkin about

I love the fact that in that HUGE Eldar mechanized force, theres 2 Fire Prisms. But your in luck, Falcons are hella fun to paint.

With all the money spent in this tread, I could retire. At 35.

Some amazing armies guys! I especially like HBMC's painting technique.

Could you maybe post a tutorial on your style?

Well, If you look into the Planetstrike book, towards the back there is a picture of Orks assaulting a Tau world, and the Orks have a Stompa, so I would assume yes.

I heard a request for forgeworld there were two in my last post but here is another one



Solorg any time you want to take that little waaaaaaaargh to Portland to take on some marines give me a call.

Good call basing Ann'grath with skulls. I will have to do that.

Yes yes, all hail the skulls!

Well he is one of the chief head takers

Lextheimpaler wrote:The lack of FW super heavies or any super heavies in this thread makes me cry

Seriously?

It's the FW prices and quality control that makes me cry.

That and the amount of unpainted plastic and resin in this thread.

i officialy refuse to play against unpainted armies

BAM!

Since my pic was taken (about 3 months ago) I have now painted a lot more gaunts. My dakkafex is undercoated and have made a start on it. 2 tyrant guard are finished and the 3rd is well underway. Undercoating my 2nd tyrant (though I have since purchased a third). And instead of having 3 complete gaunts I now have 35 complete with another 8 basecoated and ready for the beginning stages.

I must say the new nid dex is a real nudge for me in the right direction.

r3n3g8b0y wrote:i officialy refuse to play against unpainted armies

BAM!

Hehe, I always feel bad fielding unpainted things, but time constraints get in the way, as well as the fact that I can't stop buying things.

I finally finished my Marines and started to paint, and then I went a little crazy and wound up with 2 boxes of Assault Marines, 2 boxes of Devastators, the Calgar box, some new Ogre Kingdoms stuff and a FW pre-Heresy Land Raider, so I had to build those.

Then I tried to get back to painting, and someone knocked the store demo board off the table, so I had to spend a few days repairing broken Orks and armless Termies!

Now my boss wants a Wood Elf army on top of the Tyranids I'm putting together for her, and now that I've seen the new 'nids I have to save up for some, and I just got a near-Apocalypse sized force of Necrons that all need to be repainted...dammit I don't have that kind of time.

sorry, /rant. Anyway, what I was getting to is that I don't always necessarily have time to paint everything, but I DO pretty much make sure that everything I field is at least basecoated well and looks nice on the table. The only exception is if someone comes in wanting to play the same day that I'm putting something together that's actually in my army list.

I still get teased about the day I decided my Ogre army needed another Butcher and grabbed one off the shelf, only to be pulled into a game within 10 minutes. I glued the Butcher's legs to his base, set it on the table and started apologizing, Lol.

Anyway, two weeks 'till my store hosts its big Apoc game, and it'll actually be my first game ever (and I'm now in charge of it ><, so I'll be posting pics. We're trying to keep it to 20,000 points a side, but I have a feeling it's gonna hit around 30k. God help me!

Hmmmm my yellow Imperial Fist force of nearly 3,400 looks shallow to some of these monstrous collections.

Lucky! I always wanted to do the Harakoni Warhawks, but I never got the right Pieces!

My Dark Angels 3rd battle company. Complete 105+ space marines with support all have rhinos and are kitted out appropriately.

Wow, that could put some serious firepower on the field even without any Superheavies...

Bah i could beat that.

I have been thinking of doing some massive city scape pieces like this a well with those kits. That looks cool.

This isn't everything, but it's the only pic I got at the moment.



The only Apoc unit I really care about at the moment, lol!

Does the Reaver titan come with the base, or did you make that yourself?

Made it myself out of basswood, washers and nuts. I put threaded rod in the ankle joints of the titan so I could screw it onto the base. This way I can make a city, desert and snow base as well so he will always match the terrain he is fighting on.

That is a brilliant idea, megadave! Props.

Im gonna do that when I get a titan, except it will be a fight scene going on around the Titans feet.

I wish i had a reaver titian :*(. and thunder hawks. and a life size working battle barge.

Don't we all. Though I think I will start off with a Warhound Titan with a Bolter and Plasma cannon.

How much would it be to get a warhound + shipping to the US? Does anybody know? I may have to scratch-build just because I am a poor person (having two kids and a house payment will do that to you...).

my my, compensating for something, gentlemen?

In all seriousness though

my my, compensating for something, gentlemen?

In all seriousness though



Silly double post fail

I hate it when that happens! Though no, we are not compensating for anything.

For the warhound, I'd say its about 306.13, depending on what a british pound is worth. I last heard it was around 1.20 USD

Its a lot more than that.

My FW order went from 1400 US to around 2000 us when I added in a chaos warhound.

Ah yes... I guess that means i'll be scratch-building one then.

Speaking of scratch-building: Check out a super-heavy tank I made out of a children's toy: (Please excuse the poor pictures, too big for my photobox!)

Please note the following armament-
-Main Cannon (Battle Cannon or Vanquisher Cannon, I haven't decided yet)
-Co-Axial Autocannon
-Missile Launcher
-Plasma Cannon
-Transport Capacity 6, Rear Access Point

Nice.

sonofruss wrote:I don't mess around with small buildings when there are things like titans that need cover and Imperial guard regiments that need to hide in something.

You got any more pictures of that building?

That tank is horrible, you just put few missile launchers on it! It is not a scratcbuild, it is a toy tank with few missiles!

I disagree, as i have seen alot worse. Some people actually took BARNEY and made him into a Squiggoth. It was horrid.

Might look pretty nice after painting.

FoxPhoenix135 wrote: Check out a super-heavy tank I made out of a children's toy:

That's exactly what it is, (._.). I never said it was anything different.

Try having 3 kids, a house payment, gasoline at 4 dollars a gallon, and no college degree to pay for it all in this economy, and we'll see how much money you have to buy forgeworld stuff!

Finding cheaper ways to do things is perfectly ok in apocalypse, because that is not a competitive game anyway. You don't see many Apoc tournaments. I don't see why you have to be like that about it.

Well, I agree with you in the fact that buying things is harder. I myself wanted one of those super mega laser defence turrets, but do not have the monies for it. So I am converting a Basilisk into a Griffon, and taking the bits of the basilisk gun I don't use, and making it into a super mega laser thing. I will be using one of those new Coca cola bottles that look like christmas balls to put on the tree.

One of three works in progress.

Hmm well the way i remember the hobby when it was in its beginings, you scratch built alot of stuff and or modified existing models to server your purpose. GW as been all whiney anc crybaby like with all the new kid gamers now playing 40K...waaa it has to be GW sanctioned and 100% GW products. we really everyone you wouldnt have half the vehicles now you have if it wasnt for fans and scratch builders inventing alot of the kits you see now...

You speak the truth, Demonbunnyman. Remember the deodorant bottle gravtank?

lol i made a couple of them. also scratch built my own grav tank when armorcast came out with their version of the epic one. it was all card board and 2 small spoons to make the cannon front. there also used to be rules in Rogue trader and 2nd edition to make your own vehicle and vehicle variants. ahh 40K now is sooo coookie cutter.

Hmm, this thread is very Impressive!

After Xmas passes I'll have to do up an Imperial Group shot to share with Dakka

DO SO! EVERY ONE MUST SEE THE GUARDED GOODNESS!

Also, if anyone has the rules to making your own vehicles, that would be nice. There used to be rules for making your own creature, I'll have to see if I can't find the thread I had it in...

Making a titan: picture of the WIP below.

Templates can be found at http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/

Look in the Downloads section.

Well that looks much better!

MUST MAKE TITAN!

I agree, and below is a picture of my progress for today.

I know, the pose is a bit static, but this is my first one so I wanted to keep it simple. I decided to arm it with a Vulcan Mega-Bolter and a Twin-Barreled Turbo-Laser Destructor.

I think you should try using plasticard. Because painting paper is not so good idea usually...

Yeah... I wish I could, but the paper one took long enough as it was! I can't even imagine having to cut and put together all those pieces in plasticard... *shudder*.

Here's the majority of my Tau Apoc army;



The only things missing are a Battleforce, Apoc Crisis Suit box, and a squad of Vespid

Roughly how much will that be once it is constructed, RabidDuck?

Including what's not in the picture its roughly about 5200, without drones

Okay, you should probably start a blog. now.

Agreed. Any painting schemes planned out already, RabidDuck?

That looks like approx 2500 of Tau.

There are other things not show, as he said. Though I would suggest that Rabbidduck make his tau bright, as that is the way of hte Greater Good.

Is it? I thought they chose their colors based on the environment they are meant to fight in.

They do, its just they don't really have camoflague. Their armour is usually defined by a bright colour that is the main colour of the surrounding terrain.

All that Tau just made me Mangasim...

Cool... on another subject, Does anyone have any Ideas for Datasheets?

Crap!
I thought I was bad with my little 150 figure ork horde...

Well, I have a Vehicle Design Rules HTML thing, but you have to have the rules from Chapter Approved 2004 in order to use them. I got them from the internet, I would credit the designers if I could remember who they are! You can make War Machines, which are a bit overcosted compared to Super-Heavy vehicles but have similar capabilities.

Brotheralexos wrote:Cool... on another subject, Does anyone have any Ideas for Datasheets?

It's still in the rough draft but I was thinking of a giant creature with a bulging abdomen fill with spores. It slowly walks up to the enemy and shoots spores through chimneys which choke the air killing enemies and re-animating their bodies.(Think of the Flood infection forms from Halo.)Like I said it's still on the drawing boards so it might not see action for 5 1/2 months.

I have made quite a few datasheets. If you would like I can share them later. I have some Ork Gargant varients, as well as some various necron stuff... still working on one for the FW Chaos Dragon for use in 40k

Please do share, as I would like to see some more necron stuff. They don't really get enough love when it comes to apoc.

All I can is I am F*&^ing jealous!

My newest Apoc item.

Holy $#!7 that is awesome!

Nice, now all you need is red leader.

I wish I had that kind of dough... new changes to the nid dex are costing me enough already... (no more genestealer brood armies...)

Sorry for the delay,

I have a paint scheme for my Tau already. I've thought about doing a blog for them maybe I will start this weekend with some free time.

They are defintely a bright scheme!

Warrior's / Suits are;


Allies are;


I basically let my wife pick the color scheme for me. Intially wasn't a big fan of the color's but grew on me after more and more has gotten painted.

Lol... pepto-bismol tau....

Everytime I see that picture I want a squigoth, if i wasnt into fantasy so much now Id be trying to get that thing instead of the War Mamoth... but alas they are both awsome models!

Indeed they are

Those orcs are pretty bad-arse.

i'm so happy with templates i'm going to build 2 titans and 1 reaver titan just because. Also where could i put them MY BOX IS FULL!

So many unpainted models... must.... make... up for... it!

LOL. thats more than me. HAHAHAHA
I need titan's

Were those guard made or were they bought?

It seems I have a sister regiment. Now I'll have to get off my butt and get pics of the whole army at once.

Those guard are made with Pig Iron heads. I use the same kind on my cadians to denote veteran status. They are pretty inexpensive and look great!

Mr Dhugs, you are the man. Everyone should aspire to have some many models all painted. It is a think of beauty to see no paint-naked models. kudos to you.

FoxPhoenix135 wrote:Those guard are made with Pig Iron heads. I use the same kind on my cadians to denote veteran status. They are pretty inexpensive and look great!

Where could I get some?

I am not sure about canadian retailers, but I bought mine from RattleHead games. Some google-fu should bring it up, as I don't have the link handy. I think they are around 8 bucks for 20 heads or so.

My eyes starts to bleed when I look at all the troops in this thread...
I seriously needs to make some more troops! I have at least 15 opened, unpainted boxes of space marines laying around. And another 15 boxes of random.

Edit: I will start immediately!!!

Nice armies so far.
Should join this, now....
(100% of the IG and most SM)

Imperial guard and Inquisition:


Space marines:
(will take better pics)

Iron hands:



Salamanders:



Sand Vipers:


Black Templars:

those sand vipers just made me laugh!

Cheers for the positive feedback! My Trenchguard platoon are composed of Bretonnian men at arms bodies & some arms, Pig Iron heads & Cadian arms & weapons.

i have seen this thread in a long time, and now i write in!

can i make a squiggoth out of an lizardmen stegadon and what is its size?

A baby - squiggoth maybe....

Should be a gargantuan creature, at least as big as a stompa.

Not even a baby squigoth... If you want to take the time and are good with gs i would suggest you start converting a LoTR Mumath or w/e the big elephant it. Stegadons are WAY too small imo.

I'm sure many of you have seen this, but it's my IG from over a year ago:



Since then, I've added quite a bit. Hopefully over the holiday I can take a better picture, as I think that's about 7k, and I'm up to 11k fully painted. not shown are: Baneblade, three vanquisers, a medusa, three executioners, a couple of chimeras, four valks, a bunch of catachan vets, etc. I still have an annoying amount to paint, too.

Wow, great bunch of IG there!

It makes me sad that I don't have that many IG. I have one vet squad (made of a vostroyan firstborn squad) adn 20 Cadians. I am going to make them into a Conscript squad and a veteran squad.

Y'know browsing this thread makes me feel better about the quantity of stuff I've got - I'm nowhere near this bad, though a fair chunk needs painting

Polonius, I'll definitely be interested in better pictures of your guard, as they look really well done.

Figure I'd join in too...

Space Marines:

Smurfs combined with White Talons (old Iron Hands now running as White Claws e.g. Space Wolf derivitive)

Holy smeg, there's some ridiculous armies out there! Loving this thread, keep 'em coming!

And no, I can't even begin to start thinking about the merest hint of a possibility of even starting a rumour that I could compete with anyone in this thread!

I need to photograph my stuff.

Maybe when I actually have room to lay it all out...

nice.

It fit's the rules for a Forge World "big Squiggoth" from IA: Apocalypse.

I basically let my wife pick the color scheme for me. Intially wasn't a big fan of the color's but grew on me after more and more has gotten painted.

Well I can say its alot better than my moms choise of colour for my former shadow fleet..... She wanted them to be pink .....

I need to photograph my stuff too :*(. I hate my camera.

More of my Apoc units.





If your going to build a leviathan you might as well make it big enough to actually do what the fluff says.

LOL!

Nice, though I heard it has the same footprint of a Baneblade.

In game terms sure. But it's supposed to hold 60 infantry plus all it's ammo, fuel, equipment, crew.

I like how Dan Abnett describes them better in His Last Command. A valkrie lands on it's landing pad. " On the leviathan's back, he was as high up as if he'd been standing on the roof of a hive stack." Another quote "Sweep has now reached deck six and seven."

There are more discriptions, but you will have to read them yourself.

All in all the two quotes I noted above suggest a vehicle with a much larger foot print than a baneblade. What it really comes down to is anything larger than a building that moves but does not fly seems to be called a leviathan.

Such an epic win!

Here's my 5000 point Apocalypse army, I've since added six looted tanks and a Trukk. (painting time is scarce during school.) Hopefully my army will expand quite a bit before summer, I'm working on twenty Stormboys, three Scorchas, fourteen more looted wagons, five more Trukks, thirty 'ard boyz, twelve bikes, and a Stompa I got for Christmas. (Takin' a semester off of school, free time woo hoo!)

What's that AWESOME Ork Ship??? The one mounted on a tripod??? WOW! Please, more pics of this if you can.

Did you say you're working on FOURTEEN more Looted Wagons??? My hat is off to you, my friend. Well done.

Nice Battle Fortress, also.

my guess is that you got a loota themed apoc. army. paint some of da wagons blue! datz a loota colour!

I have seen a fair number of Leviathans as of late in various stages of completion, and I have to say that this one is one of my favorites. Well executed, clean lines (not more complicated or cluttered with detail then it needs to be), and nicely painted. Well done...

That ork ship looks like if a Kill Kroozer and a Fighta Bomba mixed!

The ship is a Blasta Bomma, which is the heaviest plane the Orks use. Its a cross between an Imperial heavy bomber and a Thunderhawk.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/250385.page

here's a shot of it starting a bomb run on some bugs.



As for the two Tanka mob goal, I just have a ton of old vehicles waiting to be chopped up.



I'm working my way slowly through the pile, here's what I got so far.



I want that many tanks because A. it will look cool and B. twenty tanks should be an easy three-thousand points for Apocalypse.

Wow every time I come back and look at this thread I get more jealous and more depressed. Lol. I wish I had this much finished stuff.

DUDE! That's like 20 tanks! Are you crazy?!!?

Brings a tear to my orky eye...

Pox, the model that is near the front of the pic, the blue one that looks like a chimera, what is it? also, do you have a closup?

Gawds! I have much more work to do if I am to become the King of the Orks! Until then, I'm joining Pox's Warband. All hail Warboss Pox!

Mmmm. elicios mushrooms...

Brotheralexos wrote:Pox, the model that is near the front of the pic, the blue one that looks like a chimera, what is it? also, do you have a closup?

Do you mean in the junk pile pick? If its the one I'm thinking of, its just a chimera that was heavily converted by a former roommate. I'll try and get a closer pic.

As far as me being the Warboss, I'll take that title. The basic situation is I used to play both Fantasy and 40k. (I have over seven hundred painted models for my skaven army, and around three hundred painted models for my Beasts of Chaos.) However, I've moved to a new city, and all anyone plays is 40k. I've sold most of my other 40k armies, so all that leaves me with inspiration-wise is an insatiable urge to make and paint Orks.

All hail Madboss POX!

MMM...all this talk about funganimals has awakened a hunger for stuffed mushrooms.

Oh, youre right it is the junkpile pic I was talking of. I wan to see the conversion, as it looks quite interesting.

Pox do not destroy that rt landraider.

i got a better idear with the land raiders. make them looted land raider with land raider stats!

My pride and joy in the making. Not really as impressive as a 100++ marine army with support or the occasional 50.000 pts guard army, but this "little" bundle of fun is rightfully a army in it's own.. -hey, for 2.500 pts, it SHOULD be!- anyhow, I give you my WIP Animus Messor, Warlord titan of the Legio Mortis traitor titan legion, currently allied to the 45th Grand Company led by Malach Dhar Cerberus.


Nice legs, eh?


forgot to mention it; the cable guy got dizzy seeing all those cables..


A hydraulic nightmare of diabolical creations..


Well look! It's a pink Warlord standing 28"/71cm. tall!


Damaged exhaust vents.. a minor mistake that came out rather good..


the obvious Princeps chamber.. or the Warlord's bridge..

I just got this, and I laughed. I just fought in a six month campaign against Tyranids, culminating in the Apocalypse game that all my army pics come from. chuckle all you want bug-boy, but let me tell you this, it was wholesale slaughter. (unfortunately it was against the Orks, I won only one battle of the six tier ladder campaign. I hope the Tyranids got the runs from eating all those poor Orks.)

Brotheralexos wrote:Oh, youre right it is the junkpile pic I was talking of. I wan to see the conversion, as it looks quite interesting.

I went to go snap a pic, but alas, I found it on the chopping block, not the waiting-to-get-chopped-block. (I know it looks blue, but I just snapped a quick pic without adjusting the color settings on my camera, I assure you its the same purple model. sorry I couldn't get a "before" picture!)

sonofruss wrote:Pox do not destroy that rt landraider.

It's pretty haggard to begin with, Missing most of the external bits. My plan is to do an old-school style conversion on it so I can use it as a Battlewagon for my Blood Axe. I have many, many troops from that time period, along with an actual old Battlewagon for my Goffs. Please know I have much love for old models, I'll do it justice. heres an average unit from my army, all from the Space Ork releases of late eighties/early nineties.

big mek crazygit wrote:i got a better idear with the land raiders. make them looted land raider with land raider stats!

I use Land Raiders as Battlewagons, anything else is a looted vehicle. I just cant bring myself to use LR as looted vehicles, they are too big and Ork players have been using the LR kit to make Battlewagons for a really long time.

I think that my Orks may be joining Madboss POX after seeing what he's putting together..

All hail the Madboss!

UGH! well here are some picks sorry if they are blurry. -.- i hate my camera.

Sorry man wasn't poking any fun at ya. I actually opened my frigde and had the leftover stuffed mushrooms. It was just a weir coincience that you thought I was talking 'bout my bug boys.

Ferrum ignatus, that is amazing

Heres my bugs , soon to be changed/added to , as the new dex hits the streets mid january. I've also got a malefactor and haruspex painted up but not pictured.

: O. Nice they look awesome.

hey you fitted both barbed strangller, venom cannon and a pair of scythin talons!

nice

big mek crazygit wrote:hey you fitted both barbed strangller, venom cannon and a pair of scythin talons!

Indeed I did . So they would look more like the Bard 'dule , and a bit different from the norm. Shooty fexes , toting a gun in each hand rather than two guns on the same side . Then I had them kind of hunched over like the 'dule too. This meant that they would fall over if I didn't use the scything talons to hold the body up. I cut down the size of the scythes to show then as " vestigial" and not part of the fexes weaponry.

I like the middle fex the most. So how many points is that?

Pox, those orksies are amazing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!1!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TOO EVERYONE (oh its midnight now so its too late to say it )

Fine choice. Looking forward to see them painted.

They're a Mentors - Style force but the cat killed the camera about 2 months ago and im hoping to get another one in January.

Does anyone know of a decent scratchbuild thunderhawk template? It would be pretty cool to have an entirely mounted in Rhinos in Thunderhawks lol

I don't believe that until I see it. I thought I spent a lot on Marines, even if you got a good deal (like 10 battle compaines at 20% off) it would still cost you in excess of 4000$

Munch Munch! wrote:I like the middle fex the most. So how many points is that?

I think its around 5000 or 6000. I also have dark angels , guard , chaos marines and orks . All up to around that point value.

Well My whole army has cost me about 900 dollars so Far. All termies Dread naughts and tact squads are AOBR which i modified( i was picking up spurs for under three dollars for 11 marines and termies for five).
OH why i dont have a Chapter master and Head LIbiran ( its due to the fluff) i try to keep it real. Plus its makes me play with more tech marines ,
chaplins and Just captians.

So far the army is at 8800points, that not incliding up grades, just model count
crap that is alot of plastic too... But its about a year long in the process... If you think my army is impressive , you should see a freind of mind Ultra mairnes that a impressive army. His is bigger then mine or about the same size.

StarGate, have you read the Soul Drinkers books? Specifically Chapter War?

You should try and make some backround to post up here.

i just updated my sig and i realized i got an apokalypse-worthy ork warband and if i ever get my fat, lazy butt up and take a pic of my army, i could show you .

You should do that.

just took the pics, but im gonna post them in here tomorrow and i can quickly say: if im gonna fight bigger apocalypse battles than 5000 i just allie one (or both) of my armies with my orks .

Those howling griffon's are awesome, as are the nids and all the rest. I need to snap some shots of my humongo armies and add to this sweet thread.

really nice, clean paint job on the Howling Griffons!

well, heres my apoc. army:

all models (exept battlefortress)








the HQ squad


my battlefortress








and my megaforce i got in christmas


i still need to assemble 30 shoota boyz, 6 warbikers, 4 burna boyz (useing spare ork legs and bodies from my bitz box) and the ork trukk.

Addendum to my post on this thread:


The space marines, now All of them ( this year , may change next year.... ).

- 108 vehicles ( walker + tanks )
- 791 infantry/jump infantry
- 76 bikes/ ass.bikes

In short: BT, DA, Sa, RG, IH, SW, GK, DW, WS, DIY 3rd ed, DIY 4th ed.

Oh...

Your...

God...

@ 1hadhq Nice, What are the abreviations that are not highlighted?

@ big mek crazygit I love the battlefortress, Is it from Jurassic park? It looks like a holding pen for a T-Rex.

Brotheralexos wrote:@ 1hadhq Nice, What are the abreviations that are not highlighted?

The un-highlighted forces and the abbrevations with dakka-support are:

- codex space marines 3rd edition DIY chapter, was "legio draconis" until GW did show something really bad painted with this name... renamed to golden dragons.

- codex space marines 4th edition DIY chapter, crimson swords. Again GW did something similar....

- SA = salamanders.
- IH = Iron hands.
- RG = Raven Guard
- WS = bike army with the white scars IC as counts as captain.
- DA = Dark angels successor ( still no name )
- BT = Black Templars. (codex armageddon + codex BT)
- GK = Grey knights
- DW = Deathwatch killteam
- SW = some wolfies

So nothing as dedicated as others are in this thread.

The urban imperial guard.

Sweet looking force dude, I would love to play an Apoc game against that.

Brotheralexos wrote:Nice.

Are these kind of posts really neccessary? Could you contribute some more criticism than that?

Okay. I love it when I see armies such as Daemons because of their scarcity within battlereps, stories, and other things. Even their fluff is scarce to come by, and I feel it is nice when people take an interest in them.

Redbeard that is freaking awsome... looks like something youd see out of a book with each faction of chaos and their armies... and do I actually see every Forgeworld AND Ultraforge AND GamesWorkshop greater daemons in there? As well as Daemon Princes from all of those companies? Bravo man... Bravo..

EDIT: Do you have any close ups of the Giant Spined Chaos Beast? And if you have the FW Giant Spawn, do you have close ups of that? I didnt see it in there but I could have missed it... Also, Im not familiar with the Chaos books for 40k but what is the charriot being pulled by juggernaughts supposed to be?

probably, though I think that it would not be too hard to have that in an army.

Brotheralexos wrote:probably, though I think that it would not be too hard to have that in an army.

Youve totally confused me.
I assume it would be quite hard to field 12 (probably more) Greater Daemons and numerous Daemon Princes in a single army.
Although in Redbeard's case it would seem extremely different and quite awsome in my honest opinion.

Buttlerthepug wrote:

I will go about taking some.

I don't have him. I really don't like that model.

Also, Im not familiar with the Chaos books for 40k but what is the charriot being pulled by juggernaughts supposed to be?

A herald of khorne in a chariot pulled by a juggernaut. It's a codex selection.

Awsome, the way you painted it looked really cool from the picture so I was just curios as to some other views Thanks!

A giant spawn you say? I didnt know FW made them.

i began to make a great gargant today and i post it here tomorrow. i only used some GW boxes, some bits and house hold objects. theres still alot more work to do with it, so i think i might make a blog.

Yup, Redbeard owns us all in painted quantity, and most of us in painted quality.

lol.

My painted Black Templars, a bit over 7k points and still growing. I've probably got another 1k points in progress, including 2 drop pods, 2 attack bikes, 10 power armored sword brethren, 7 neophytes, a dozen assault marines, and a fourth LRC.

Amazing army, nice!

The Black templars are a rare army, I wonder if you have actually thought of doing them in a crusading fashion?

My little piece, not as big or special as some previous examples.

These pics were taken in sept. So the marines have grown even more with 2 more land raiders, a vindi, a few more tanks, and more troops. Guard are completed.

Entire Imperium Army




Guard





Marines




Deathwatch

@ninjalawyer: Cool templars.
Do I see there small shooty squads and big choppy squads?

@Duce: really blue pics....
Rather old paintscheme of the Ultras. And lots of bikes.
Veterans in PA are also a rare sight before the age of the sternguard.
How many of those UM are OOP models?

Duce wrote:

Very nice. I love the use of the RTB01 marines as your vets

Nice Ultrasmurfs, though I think you should at least do a wash of Asurman Blue on the models.

yeah, will do washes and highlights when they all have base colours. I'm fussy in wanting everything painted to basic levels.

I hear you, My Orks look like they will never be done.

i should had posted this before, but i saved the best for last!!

GREAT GARGANT!!!

XD looks very orky.

Yeah, Gargants are awesome.

@Duce; That's a lot of bikes, you use them that much?

Here's a quick snap of my Tyranids so far.
Just a few more warriors some Hierodules and some Trygon to go!

Click on the pic and zoom to 200% for a better look, the compression has made it all grainy.

Those nids look great... and I love how you used that laminate as a city-board surface.

Thanks Fox but it's not a laminate!
It's 6mm MDF 'tile panel'. It has lines routed into it to give the illusion of tiling when painted without the effort.
It comes in 2ftx4ft sheets and I figure that it's pretty neat stuff for urban terrain boards.

Thats a Biotitan.....

AWESOME. I was wondering what you used for the Bititan base...

@ Alex Kolodotschko @ Nice job on you bugs, you don't often see them well painted.

Thanks guys, always nice to get a bit of positive feedback.

The titan's base is made from 10-12mm ish MDF. I drew around a 14inch cymbal and cut out the circle with a jigsaw.
I then routed and sanded the edges and textured with artex, hard styrene, rocks, pebbles, various grades of sand etc etc
I'll be adding grass and water effect some time in the future but the titan's paint isn't quite finished yet.

I love General Mayhem's wall of steel versus his son's mainly squishy orks. And his discussion of how to beat his brains out! LMAO.

Yeah, that has to be one hell of a battle.
