Great conversions!

Fantastic. Just amazing.

If you magnetize the guns then that could be a stormraven.

When i first saw the tank i thought it was going to be a giant exorcist or something of the sort.

That would of looked cool but this looks awesome

(Now i want to make something that fires 20 small blast templates or gets 5d6 s8-10 ap1-2 missile shots)

Now this post will relate quite a lot to the dangers of heat to plastic models, since there has been a small 'accident' with the ordinatus construction. (I blame heretic scum infiltrating the blessed forge! a full purge is in motion as I write this message, All shall be purged. Deus Omnissiah Vult!)

What happened is I had a little party and i had nowhere to put the ordinatus, so like the fool I was I put it on the stove and slid it back agains the wall beliving it safe from flying bottles, spilled beer and people falling over it.
Little did I factor in the possibility that 'someone', being a bit drunk, would lean against the stove and somehow,.. accidentally turn on one of the heating plates with his god damn ass.

So.. even worse this was the plate that the Model was acctually standing over.. wich resulted in.. you guessed it!

so.. i was quite quick on my feet so the burned whreck should be salvageble with some time and plasticard... but still I would like to convey a warning to you all.

DO NOT EVER PUT MODELS ON A POTENTIAL HEATSOURCE!!!

follow this simple rule and you will be spared much hard work.. and your flat won't smell burned plastic for a week.


The whreck in all it's fallen glory.




what's left of the deck.





what's left of the gun.




So began the work of clearing up the mess left by the






Shouldn't be too hard to put the hull back together.. I have after all loads of spare parts.

Ouch - that is quite a lot of damage.

A rather cool PLog - I will be watching what you do with this.

Oh no! I feel like crying. Stupid fire...

That's a terrible accident, will heighten safety measures in my forge right away so no foul plasma torch bearing heretics can get in !! I hope you salvage the model as it's a really nice one
It actually looked like it had been blown up

Aw dude... I just found this and thought: "hey what an awesome super heavy tank this guy got! Maybe I shall leave a kind comment about it" *switches from page 1 to 2 * "........ " ah well. Despite the chaos infiltrators this is an amasing tank and I wish you good luck in repairing it!

tragic... well, you have something incredible there, it is just more of WIP then it was a couple days ago... it is only a slight step speedbump. a chance for revisions and improvement!!!
i will be following closely, good luck!

oh no, such bad luck
any Techpriest would have commited suicide i think.
But you have to see the positive side. Now you can spend more time with your precious machine!
I will follow the reconstruction very closely.

oh man that looks so cool even when its destroyed , them melted plates will come in handy for scenery i bet !

Aaaah no! The Ordinatus was looking so beautifull and realistic! (as in: GW could have released it) I hope you can rebuild now and make it look more awsome then it already did, form the ashes a fenix will rise.
A thought of me was, Ordinatus makes me think of ordenance ofcourse, have you considered giving it a ordinance like gun? Like on a Basilisk?

I would have commited murder.

Thank you, but after all, it's just plastic.

As for the gun I think I will scrap the original concept and make it a humongous plasma cannon.. perhaps a plasma annihilator like the one found on the Imperator titan.
Work on the shuttle progresses on shedule, should perhaps update with some pics tomorrow, it's down to hull textures and gap-filling.

Love that exarch. Great color scheme. I spend about the same amount of time on my troop choices, you're not the only one!

expensive plastic that is :(

Looks like a really cool project.
To bad about the accident with the plasma wielding heretics though.

Looking forward to seing it being restored/completed.
Also looking forward to seeing more of your other projects. The Rhino/Drop pod thingie looked really interesting

Burn your friend. See how he likes it. Damn Heretic. He works for Chaos!

I just read that post aghast, I can't believe that mate, rotten luck. Thank frak you were able to salvage the majority of the model. Battle damage in the extreme I think.

I feel your pain - But on the other hand I'm looking forward to the plasma annihilator. Drunk friends and miniatures don't mix

im really sorry,really a shame.

but it seems you take it quite well.

cant wait to see it fixed and ready for battle.again ^^

I wasn't really feeling the gun anyways, but I have no doubt the rebuilt model will look fantastic

That tank is a cathedral on wheels.

FTL

Wow everything here is awesome! love the exarch! and what luck!? sorry man!

wow, I thought i was dumb for leaving some marines by the toaster... but that tank was a catastrophe

Plasma reactor meltdown?

yeah! plasma reactor meltdown - I am totally with you on rebuilding it but in a way its almost a shame as it would have made a great terrain piece - the warped and twisted wreckage of the once great warmachine type deal

Yes, another update.
Just on the shuttle though, I need to rethink the hulldesign a little on the Ordinatus due to that the Plasma Annihilator gun that I have been scetching on will need a slightly different approach to how I build the gun's mounting on the hull.
I will need some more time for scetching and testing before I can re-launch this project.

So, I have finished the hull's basic shape so now it's mostly texture and detailwork left.. and gap filling... and ofc. the paintjob

Missiles etc.



Bottom Hull.



Misc.



Feedlines etc.



Frag assult launchers from the dreadnought kit and etched brass aquila

Looking good! It is coming along very quickly.

Thank you all, it's turning out nicely here.

The ordinatus will be quite different than it's current incarnation but i think it will become much better in it's second incarnation.
