If I were to ever build another massive tank thing I would want to go for one of those Ordinatus models. Or maybe build all 3 using the same bottom section where I can remove the top pieces for whichever one. Only thing is I just wouldn't have anywhere in my small condo to store it. it would probably need 3 baneblades for the bottom part alone, just based on the rhino size comparison. so it would be pretty huge.

I don't think I'm gonna get the bottom done today

hehe .. haven't even started, other errands popped up. plan is gonna be to finish it some time this week. And then I will probably switch gears and do some lizardmen, then maybe my vet guardsmen after that. I like to keep doing different projects so I don't get burned out doing the same thing over and over.

**Necros**

OK I finished the bottom floor. Next I'll be doing the 2nd floor so I can get them glued together. I was going to stop here and take a break, but I have a big game coming up in a couple weeks so I wanna get as much of this done as I can now. here's pics:

**Slappywag**

It looks truly impressive. It's going to turn a lot of heads. You're very skilled!

Slappy

That paint job looks a lot better than what I was thinking in my head Necros. Simplicity of it with the really nice details, like the Tech. Skull with the wiring and the Gold Accents. I love it.

here is a question, for the other floors are you just going to "Set" them on top, or are you going to glue them down. I was thinking it would be nice if you could glue little metal strips down Maybe under the first floor somewhere if possible then glue some magnets down on the second floor. I am just suggesting this. An idea for... Easy Transportation lol

**Imperial Monkey**

*Jaw falls off*

**Necros**

thanks

I'm gonna just glue the 2nd floor to the 1st. I'll have everything glued except the weapons.

i thought about keeping it separate for transporting but there's no way this will fit in any kind of transport bag or anything so I'm not gonna waste my money on foam trays or anything. when I need to transport it I'll probably just put it in a big box and wrap it in a towel. it's not like my normal models that will be transported often, this will just be used maybe a couple times a year

**ZeinEizoku**

Understandable Necros, it is still a kick ass model. I think you will blow everyone away when they see this, _{No pun intended for the "Doomsday Cannon" lol}

**Epaminondas**

Great job on the painting! To see someone paint something SO HUGE in its entirety and still have it look so good is really inspiring!

**SuperSN**

OMGFTWBBQ!!!!!

How did I miss this epicness?!?!?

AMAZINGLY good job.

**Necros**

Got the 2nd floor painted

next I'll be doing the top battle cannon

Here's a new pic

**ZeinEizoku**

O_______________O'

..._wow

It is looking very foreboding =D

**JD21290**

fething hell necros

This is comming on pretty quickly now, paint job is basic, yet makes it seem loads better as it does not look over crouded.

**Necros**

yeah, I can't get too crazy with the paint job, I'll never finish it if I focus on every little detail. so it's just flat paint with a wash and a quick & dirty drybrush.

Once it's all done though I'm going to add some guys to the front porch. I got the commissar that's reading the book, and since I'll probably just be using my astropath in games I'll add the other 2 advisors up there with him. And if they'll fit I'll see if I can get some heavy stubber gunners on either side.

I just want to get as much of it done as I can now since I'll prolly be using it in a game in 2 weeks

**CaptainRavenclaw**

Wow. It is immense. I can't wait to see it in all its shining glory. Keep on painting!

**Necros**

Got the roof weapons done

Battle cannon in the front, hydra turret in the back. Here's some pics

Next I'll be doing the front Doomsday cannon, tank treads and rear engine parts. That will probably take most of next week to do, so I won't get the side guns done before my big game. oh well

**zeronyne**

It's looking fantastic!

**Epaminondas**

That looks amazing right now! I want to see some pictures with your command HQ up on the Balcony!

**grey_death**

Looking good Necros! That thing is a beast of a moving shooting building ^_-.

**Necros**

Thanks

The front porch is going to have the commissar that's reading a book with his powerfist in the air right in the middle, then next to him I'll have a master of ordinance advisor and the officer of the fleet. And then on either side of the porch I'm going to add heavy stubber gunners with the guns that go on the side of a stormlord transport area.

that'll be at the very end though

when I play next week it's gonna transport my company command plus 4 units of vets for a total of 12 meltaguns and 6 plasmaguns

I hope to roll it up to a big objective and then just unload everyone on the last turn

**firestorm**

This is a really impressive piece, I've just read the thread from start to finish and it has been great seeing it come together, well done!

It's also one of the first super-heavy scratch-builds/conversions that has seemed like almost anyone can give it a go, you don't need to be a model making genius with tonnes of plastic card and tubing at your disposal...

**CaptainRavenclaw**

its looking like it was made to look....legendary!!

**Slain'e**

Looks great, great build man.....

**Cosmic**

This thing reeks with good ol' honest Emperor smite-e-ness!

**FlammingGaunt**

Good looking moving fortress, seriously that's a very good match for the real thing.

**Rekrom**

I love it!!Great job

**BLACKHAND**

Looks fantastic man, totally impressive. my flatmate and i made a leviathan out of a model of the jawa tank thingey from starwars and a crap load of weopons turrets and yours puts it to shame, can't wait to see a finished pic

**scarab**

Cool idea. Should be lots of fun to field.

**Anung Un Rama**

THAT'S the kind of stuff I love Dakka for. I just hope that the Apoc tables you'll use this baby will look just as good.

**ChaosismyAntidrug**

this thing reminds me of these giant rolling cathedrals in the book "Absolution Gap" Really cool though

**jamessearle0**

thats looking epic, the washes really are fantastic XD
