Subject: What Should I Scratchbuild?

Hello Dakka, I've got a bit of a dilemma: I need to do something for my samurai orks blog, but I don't have the parts to make any actual models, but I do have plenty of foam board. so being the indecisive git that I am I'm deciding what to build by popularity contest. so the question is: should I build a Battlefortress or a Bomber? your pick Dakka, tell me what you think.

Trust me there will be one, just not now. The gargant will be the blog's grand finale.

Gargantuan Gargant

Battlefortress, based solely on the fact that you plan to use foamcore. With that material in mind, you're likely to get farther with a tank/rolling building than a plane (even an orky one).

As much as I love the idea of raining terrible explode-y and fire-y death down upon the gitz below, you just can't beat a sturdy set of treads and a mass bristling with enough spike and weapons to make a porcupine blush.

absolutely NOT! you may have never heard about the kinds of horrors those guys inflicted, but I've heard some real horror stories about the kamikaze. scared the gak out of every man in the pacific theater. my grandpa lost his best friend to a kamikaze, and I will not be including any kamikazes in my army!
