Also, in an ironic twist on something you threatened to do previously, I'm going to make another promise.
If the package is not signed for, it will be returned to me. If it is returned to me, I will set out everything that is in the box of import and burn it. I will watch it go up in flames.
The video that I shoot of it will be posted to YouTube. I will email you a link, as well as post links to it in open forums.
Remember when you threatened me that, if I sent you anything, you'd burn it and send me a link to the video, Matthew? Well, this way, you'll get what you want (burned models), regardless - MagickalMemories

Wow!

I wish I had the time, patience and skill to really, really get going for Apocalypse!

Very nice, and I can't wait to see it in Nurgle's Colors!

More Nurgly goodness. Pardon me, but do I see a backside on the tower's backside? Awesome.

Im still torn on exactly what colors to use. I would love any input anyone has.

Spoiler:
Yes, there is indeed a rear end for pooping. Logic behind it (logic?!?) is that the 30 spots for transporting are filled by small poo like creatures, similiar to nurglings but use the rules for LaTD and are on 25 mm bases.

I'd be afraid to ask how much money in green stuff you threw at this awesome piece.

Moz:
You: "Hold on, you rammed, that's not a tank shock"
Me: "Ok so what is a ram, lets look at the rules."
Rulebook: "A ram is a special kind of tank shock"
You: "So it's a tank shock until it hits a vehicle, and then it's a ram, not a tank shock, and then it goes back to being a tank shock later!"
Me: "Yeah it doesn't really say any of that in here, how about we just play by what's written in here?"

In that those pics around 3 packs or so. When I can I buy it in tube form as its a better price but lately ive only been able to find GW packs. Now that its done being constructed and ready for priming, its taken almost 4 full packs. Not so bad. With all the plastic card, white epoxy putty and green stuff its cost around 90-100 bucks. Not so bad for a 750 point model.

Quite awesome. Until, of course, it gets hit by a stray Krak missile.

In the grim darkness of the future, titanic war machines are built with wooden planks...wait, what?

Just kidding. Great conversion.

Though it could use some filth build-up on the smoother areas. Also, maybe a gigantic Mark of Nurgle somewhere? Just my two cents.

I was thinking on giving it a large banner pole with a huge icon on top and a banner flowing out behind it. Have a look at the original epic model and youll see what I mean.

For those that wanted more armor, but mainly for the fello dakka member that commissioned me to build it.

Just a teaser shot until tonight when I can take some completed shots.

First, what it should look like. This pic is out of the apocalypse reload book. They made it a little stronger with better armor and slightly cheaper point cost.



Next is my version minus the puss cannon and GS work on the tower itself. Other then that its done.









And this one to show the plague mortar and also to give you an idea of the GS work on the rest of the model now that its done.





And finally this one to show the mortar in place at the top, as well as the spots marked for rivets and soe barbwire at the top. Oh and you can see part of the engine exaust peaking over the top. The pipes come out of the whole in the back.

Wow, this looks exceptionally good! I'd recommend getting some make-a-mold and recasting some of the wood planks (and maybe even some of the chaos symbols... ) and making several. The basic shape is so simple, you could knock out loads of 'em.

Looking for the Empire spearmen from the Warhammer sixth edition box set (empire vs orcs) Must be unpainted and in good condition. Also looking for MIB Empire State Troops boxes.

Looking for Battle for Macragge and Black Reach Tactical squads, unpainted and unassembled.
