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.

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.

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.

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...

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..
