Not sure how or why i even started this, but for some reason i did while up all night drinking with a few friends.
Got the main part of it done, so just some structure sections to add along with detail and anything else i can think of.

Size: Last pic shows the ghoul stood next to it.
Not to mention its base is currently 2 movement trays lol.


Workingz - Just ran with basic skaven ethics.
Warpstone core, warpstone weapons, crazy enginerr driving it.


So, enjoy and ill get this updated on here and my blog as i go.

dude that thing is amazing. I would send pictures to GW, you might get featured.

Ooh! That thing is epic; that is the only thing I can say, really...
Now, paint it!

Call it the Iron Rat, destroyer of all who resist the infestation. Great job, can't wait to see it painted.

Thanks guys

Mailed it to GW. (not sure if it worked though, used thier link to the mailer)
Never thought about that until you said, could be amusing if it does get featured now lol.

Hmmm, Iron Rat, i like



Painting: Not finished building it yet
Need to add in 2 warp generators on the back plus more structural work and details yet.
Painting wise it will be a pain in the arse, but guess ill have to get this thing finished now ive started.

The really bad ass part is that you worked in recycled sprue's. I like that.

I love it!

Cheers all



Peter - Its something i allways have at hand.
Tend to keep hold of all my empty sprues incase i need them. (usually for rubble on bases)

Very inspiring! Once this is done, I can't imagine GW would not feature it. Truly a brilliant piece thus far! I can't wait to see it finished.

Two things:
First - WOW, that is AWESOMESAUCE! and I can't wait for that to be finished. I especially like the bell as shin armour! Has given me a lot of inspiration for my own clan skryre HPA (think dinosaur skeleton, think mobile weapons platform!)

Second - What's it like having enough disposable income to say 'Ah what the hell, tonight I'm going to get drunk and kit-bash two or more £20-30 kits together for no apparent reason!'

This is looking great, like the rest of the guys say, I want a painted picture well done, looks very professional!

Wow, awesome!!!


....... its a better idea than the Dreadknight haha.

Superb

If I could model half as good sober as you can gak-faced, I'd be a very happy man. Maybe that's the secret though?

Looks really cool, even though I'm not into WHFB that much. Cheers!

EDIT: Hmm, the swear-filter here is pretty neat. It replaces S**t-faced with gak-faced apparently.

Good heavens, that's incredible. I'll echo the comment above that the bells for shin armor really are effective, but the rest of this is brilliant as well. I'll be looking forward to seeing it finished and painted.

Ingenious!

Most impressive...use it as a skyre abomination!

This....is....badass!

I see a screaming bell, but what else did you use to make it?

You say you were drunk?

I would say that is a perfect rationale behind you becoming an alcoholic...

EDIT: Wait, you were drunk? Someone go get me a few 6 packs and some GW kits, and don't expect to see me for the next 4 days.

Leigen_Zero - Was a case of not needing either units.
Doomwheels arent all that good as they require shield units.
The bell is just pure gak.
So, what else could i do? thought i might aswell find a use for them.



Winnertakesall - Screaming bell, doomwheel, tons of sprues, ork battlewagon gun plate from the upgrade set, bodies from a corpse cart and various parts from the basic skaven set, plague monks and stormvermin.
I think thats it, may be the odd other thing thrown in though.



Avatar and winner - Started on this at 3am, and had been drinking since 6pm previous to it.
Usually have some friends round, start drinking and playing the 360, then a few of us have a tinker with a few models.

and i do tend to paint better once ive had a few, seems to help keep my hand steady. (being a labourer by trade my hands are pretty fethed allready)




Cant really use it as a HPA since its a tad big lol.
In the 1st pic do you see the movement tray on the right? Thats the same size as a HPA base lol.
This has another one but even bigger added to it so i can fit it on there.
And it only just fits -_-

Brilliant,just brilliant.

That is one of the coolest thing i've seen for a long time.

That's just plain awesome.

You should write the rules for this thing.
Let me help you:

Steel claws +2 strength, poisonous.

Thanks again everyone



Slugga - I dont really play WHFB all that often.
Not even 100% on the rules anymore since i havent tried the new ones lol.
I just find that the models are soo much better than alot of the 40k stuff.

Cool idea, I suck at basing. This will make my life easier.

Man after my own heart. Mine isn't as impressive as yours but.....

Carnifex, Ironclad Dread, Chaos Spawn, bitz from probably a half dozen other kits here and there.

I love it! Looking forward to seeing some paint after you're satisfied with it (looks fantastic as-is), and maybe there will be something to use it against if anything interesting happens this summer for fantasy... I'm holding out hope for an Apocalypse for fantasy!
