LOL! Probably. Still need lots of practice with both.

She's not missing... she's just "on ice"!

Very nice big gob on the boss. Yeah, they look cracking.

Orksess at last, bout blooming time.

Oh since you are doing orks I will leave this here, spoilered for humility.



Hope you will like it once it arrives.

Cam, you are an artistic genius!

And generous. It looks awesome.

Never spoiler artistic genius!

You are joking me Cam - that is crazy good.

Think I better point out Gits is insisting on paying for this, so got to bring my A game. I would happily give it to him.

The heck you will... Talent like yours needs to be fostered, not taken advantage of. Especially by your friends.

You are awesome!

Wowowow! Yeah, Cam, that is AMAZING!!
You absolutely need to be getting something in return for it- Very much agree with Gits in this regard. Its just too good to simply be given away!



Gotta say Im honestly a little jealous

Yeah, Cam'. You are worthy. Also, don't knock it when you have a returning "customer" that insists on paying.

Gits', you know that you have to have something new and special to show off on this display board when it arrives, we'll all be highly disappointed if not. No pressure...

I know I know...

I vote on this... and it's your own pic too

Yep, yep... orks are on the docket ... actually the top of the docket. Even though I'm mainly playing my admech at the moment... I don't foresee any new painting there (save that I can convince Nerdfest to do).

The first two projects are just modifications of existing units in order to get the army off to a good start. Easiest is getting those commandos finished up. Get some dirt on 'em as Nerdy suggested & finish the bases. I'll probably work on that Thursday night.

Project #2 will be to mass-produce a bunch of rokkits to convert my slugga-boyz into storm boys. The trick is I want the conversion to be removable (so I can have the boyz do double-duty). I think I've got a very simple procedure for doing this... though we'll have to see how it works out.

As far as a brand-new ork project... at this point I really don't have a priority as I'm not sure there's anything I absolutely need desperately for the army. The squiggoth would be fun, but I don't want to embark on that until I finish magnetizing the arms on the Reaver Nerdy did for me, so that amazing vehicle can take the field. I would have said that a morkonaut would have been a high priority, but Cam took care of that little problem for me. I'll take a look through my models and see if anything inspires me.

Stormboyz are nice, Just finished up 16 of them myself... I know what your thinking.

I'll be posting pics soon... I'm at work right now so ya gots to wait

Looking forward to it Den!


Have a 1000 point game tonight. I'll take pics if my opponent has a painted army. Thing 1 has a game set up with a friend who plays too. I'm excited to see that!

Game went well last night. Opponent was just building a primaris marine army so no pics. I did finally start to figure out how better to use some of my units. Learning curve and all.

Spent a good part of the game slowly withdrawing and shooting with the core of my army. However pretty much everything had at least one moment of glory. Little vanguard unit on an objective popped out and did some good damage on a character and squad before getting charged. The sergeant survived and held the objective until the end. Doom-chickens really worked advancing & firing (5's to hit). They're fragile though so you need to keep them under wraps until turn 3ish. Dune crawlers and infiltrators were awesome... as one would expect.

Thing 1 got his first game of 8th with a buddy. Had fun. Planning for Friday when I'll drag everyone out to our local league which is at 750 pts.

Shame no pics. Sounds like a lot of fun.

One of the advantages of building your own rapid fire battle cannon is that you get to dress it up a bit. converting one of my knights to a crusader (sword and gun will be switchable). Sorry for the quality of the pic.

Nice work on the BC, did you just modify the actual barrel, or the entire gun?
Fine work,
JATW

The whole thing is built from scratch.

Looks great! I like the clear panel (if indeed it is clear) you've scratch built a gun that's just as good if not better than what you'd get in a kit.

Looks good to me

Particularly like the gear-tooth details on the barrel. VERY Mechanicus!

Very nice! I think it needs and end piece, like a suppressor, choke, or since it's mounted on an arm, an artillery recoil system of some kind.

Brilliant, looks the part, good scale. agree though tip of barrel needs a little something, even just a banding would do, but as Dave said would probably be better.

Making progress on the battle cannon. I need to fiddle with the red a bit and add some soot to the end of the barrel. The main difference between my gun and the real one is that the real one tapers I think. Unfortunately that's beyond my ability... so I've got to settle for a rather ungainly looking barrel tip. I think however, the soot at the end may help to deemphasize this.

Looks like a great conversion to me, maybe even better than the original from GW. The additions gives it more of a mechanicus feel to it.

The Leman Russ Battlecannon doesnt taper, perhaps look at that end bit for reference? Looks great otherwise!

You know, it actually looks just fine on the model. Not out of proportion at all. I think it's just the perspective of the photos that make it look odd. Think I'll declare victory and go home.

Lovely build indeed. Great job, nice paint job, the shield especially.
