Thanks man, yea i kn ow theyd be better sentinals but hey, as for minning creed, ima think he would be a kick ass minner cross with a badass mercenary who has twin modle 1847s!


edit: WOOT PAGE 2!




so yea found a cool creed, cut the fist make a robot arm, one more pistol and DONE!

so yea nuthing of a update today but hey realy, so i have news, i was going to show you guys my platoon comand squad today but i cant find the camra cable :(, so no pics today.

edit: Right anyone reading or do i pointlessly update?

I am, the Catachan officer looks badass enough for Creed... If you could add a cigar in GS, that'd be even better!!!

He should make a pretty good creed. You could try the cigar idea also!

Yay people pay atention to me!

so i wont realy give him a cigar cause my gs is going to his budies in terms of cigars, hes to badass for cigars! like everyone will get one, just not him XD

So todays xmas eve id like to say,

Merry xmas! TO ONE AND ALL!

Right... comments and ideas ahoy.

The Avatar walker is more akin to a Sentinel than an Ogryn if you think about it. The main reason being that Ogryns have a toughness stat and very little in the way of an armour save. This means that whatever you substitute in should be able to be able to soak up a bit more damage, but not actually affect the damage resistance (if that makes sense?) Your best bet is something open like the power-loader from Aliens.

As for the Russ, to make it suitable for use in tunnels I would start off by running them without sponsons as there aren't going to be too many opportunities to shoot sideways. In addition to this, you want to keep the height/width down as much as possible. To do this, I'd use the Chimera hull with the Vindicator shield and a predator turret. For my guys I decided that there wasn't really much of a need for Russes or field artillery in a mining colony so these are being requisitioned form other planets by the Inquisitor as they carry out their hunt across the sector.

all right thanks endtransmission

right i have pretty much scraped the idea of the avatar walker for ogryns, manly im going a power loader/ big daddy combo

the russ, EHGRAUGH! she is a pain in the butt to convert
im thinking chimara hull but smaller turret than the predator, most likly scratch makining it from plasticard, also a a little drill thing on the bottom to count as a dosser blade

Ok guys i have some sentinals painted up, problem is i have pics but cant find the dam usb cord, so pics soon (hopefully)

And some appataising army progress

Curently i have built:

1 gaurdsman squad
2 comand squads (till i get one more one is a platoon one regemental)
2 scout sentenails (with auto canonons and hunter-killer missiles)
Edtit: 1 heavy wepons squad (with mortars)
and 1 valkarie! (with misiel pods and multilazer)

Pics?

Hold Your Horeses Yggdrasil! like i said my camra has no cord right now! ill try to "borrow" my dad's though, and that list needs an update one sec...

Edit: alright its done

Sorry, I must've missed that part lol...

AHA lol, its ok Yggdrasil we all do that now i convinced my dad to let me use his nikon! so not only am i geting pics, Im getting good ones!

Hey, just saw this in the gallery (credits to Okidan_Champion), it would look nice on a LRBT!

Sounds interesting. I'll be following this...

S_P

got the first ogryn done, pics folowing tomarro.

so i changed my mind on the orgrns not that the mech idea is bad or anything but the sheer amount of plasticard it took to make (no pics yet), i will have them purely like a bigdady suit piotled by a ogryn and boy i have a fleff dumb coming! tomar in my study class i will jot down some ideas (and call it english work cause im doing short stories right now!)

I want to see Mr. Bubbles!

fluff more to come:

As he woke up in the midle of the night, Salgrad looked to the window of his room, thuderous roars of artillery and aircraft loud in the air. This was like nothing he had ever happen, a war here? On home soil? As shoked as he was, he needed to chek his gear (most importanly his auto gun). while looking he heard a scream to his left, a scream of a child. "HELP!" the voice shrekied, fear ripeled all through out its small voice. He grabed the gun, ready to face any xeno, heritic, or mutant that lay befor him. The door crashed down with a large SMASH as he barged through, yet he could not be prepared for this. A huge Xeno beast strode before him, a mighty sight, the beast must have been two heads taller than him before he filled full of lead. Now all that layed there was a headless, life less, carcas of a greenskin.

well thought you guys needed some thing to see:



this monster moght just be a big MBT! i love this its so nice!

That's a nice conversion indeed, but the AAVP7 is rather an amphibious APC...





So it brings too much of "amphibious" for me, you'd struggle to give him a "mining" feel....

Oh I don't know. I think it could be made to look like an ore hauler with a nice big dozer blade on the front and a crane on the back, or by making the front into some sort of scoop for shovelling up ore and rock with some cutters mounted either side like a giant version of the Hades breaching drill.

Well, in olden times the Land Raider could submerge up to 37.5 meters. But, that is a cool tank. Maybe there are flooded sections of mine through which miners must navigate? Or the making of a hauler like that could work out pretty well too. I'll like to see what you make.

Heh. You could probably mod it into a reasonable Mole, or at least a Termite

37.5m is a curiously precise depth... what is that in feet?

37.5 m is approx. (and by approx., I mean a quick calculation in my head going off 3 ft to 1 m, so very approx.) 112.5 ft. Don't ask me why GW decided on this depth, but at the same time there may be precedent. All I know is that's the exact depth stated in the Imperial Armour books. But I've always just kinda wondered- 'can a submerged land raider fire its weapons?' is my question. Nevertheless, I would still say a hauler with a couple of extra weapons quickly attached could easily work for some super heavy tank, like, say, a Malcador. Just my 5 cents.

a submerged anything can fire its weapons... whether they are effective any more is the question. Bullets will be slowed an awful lot more than normal (and the pressure wave may do bad things to any nearby divers), while most laser energy would be dissipated into boiling the surrounding water, to probably much the same effect...

Promethium might still burn somewhat decently, if you think about people using acetylene torches underwater.

hehe see i post a pic and people start talking!
anyways its going to be used as a russ, but its not going to be amphibious. instead its going to be drilling and shooting.
a mix of that supper heavy you showed Yggdrail and this thing, plowing plowing, like the hades drill. ya know realy, endtransmissition had it bang on in his post.

Well the pics are what makes the blogs! I think that vehicle would look great in you army. Have you thought of making a kind of train for transporting the ore? Maybe use that vehicle as a starting point for it.

Cain i like the way you think! i think it will be more like a enclosed dump truck, but a train oh boy your giving me ideas!

Hey i have a idea, Roughriders are guys on ATVS!



yea i know, i manly got the idea from the new medal of honour
