"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

That is AWESOME, can you even use a gun that big on a bastion


95% of teens would go into a panic attack if the jonas brothers were about to jump off the empire state building copy and paste this if you are the 5% who would pull up a lawn chair grab some popcorn and yell JUMP BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if you know this, but right now you win the bastion kit. I hope you can paint as well as you can build!

Not sure about a spare, but Forgeworld changed up how you order titans so you can now get the weapons a la carte. Pretty handy for doing stuff like this I'd imagine

Oh I knew it was a Stormblade cannon - I have a Stormblade, the full 100% resin one, nightmare of a kit to put together - my question though is why you had it spare? Who just has one of those things spare? What did you do with the rest of the Stormblade?

Well you've given me some great ideas, and shown me how things work with the kit. I am doing the whole 'Typhoon Missile' thing, 'cause that looks ace.

Well it's a Plasma Blast Gun, so S8 AP2 Ord2/7" Blast or S10 AP2 Ord1/10" Blast.

So, y'know, pretty weak.

As long as the Strentgh is 8-10, thats ok going against infantry...it would not do much against Tanks, walkers or other vehicles.

You need a platform for it though. Who would put a big ass gun on a building and without it being able to turn to a different direction.

That statement's full of win.

Nowhere near as much win as the Leviathan, but still pretty good.

The gun does turn, however when i used it in a game i only used it as str7/ap2large blast as to keep my opponnent happy.

Oh and its the full resin tank.

Ok, that makes perfect sense. I can understand you 'Looting' it for the Orks - means you can make your own tracks rather than fighting with this fething hopeless resin ones that don't actually fit or join up properly. Not to mention the individual track wheels that you have to saw the excess resin off of... I hate that kit so much.

Holy cow, those builds are fantastic.

I love the creativeness that people have with these new bastions. It goes to show just how incredible of a kit they are.
