An amazing model, I'd love to see the windows painted as stained glass, to complete the mobile cathedral imagery. Is there any update on this?

REPENT, FOR THE HAMMER OF THE EMPEROR FALLS TO CRUSH THE TRAITOR. REPENT

Super Heavy? More like Planet Heavy!!!! This is bloody awesome!!! Seriarsely nice work dude, very well done!!

I was thinking just the other day that we need some Imperial defence turrets, a bit Star Wars deathstar-ish, and lo and behold!!!

Cool model, although I wouldn't paint it white. White will be difficult to weather subtly, and you might not be able to define all the detail there. I'd go for gold all over personally. With gold, you can start from a scorched brown basecoat which will give your model lots of depth. This would complement the COD sprues. Also, it seems like quite an appropriate colour to decorate something so grand. Obviously this is a vehicle which will inspire armies, and the surface work alone is a ''weapon'' in itself.

Also, gold would look killer in sunlight.
1. Scorched Brown and Shining gold 50/50 basecoat
2. Scorched Brown and Shining gold 30/70 (drybrush? unless you really want it to look amazing and layer the whole thing)
3. Shining Gold
4. Shining Gold and Mithril Silver 90/10
5. Extreme highlights in mithril silver.

This is my formula for painting gold. I like to throw several brown washes over the top of it when I'm done just to tie it all together.

Obviously this is just an opinion! However I don't think white is the way to go as it is a limited colour to use, and a model like this demands something more special.

All the best.

i think i need more tankbustas 0_o

Yeah, imagine this ramming!

mag, i dont intend to let it get close enough.
i think i need to make a massive ork tower though
and i think sending a trukk to ram it aint gunna work

JD, here's the inpiration you need to make that Pulsa Rocket deluxe...

ive been tinkering with pulsa rokkits
ill get a vid later, my friend has a massive ork tank that fires nerf balls XD

but yea, something along the lines of a large pulsar rokkit, or super lifta droppa.

sounds like a nibquestion, but where can i find the best rules for building a new ork vehicle?

Dunno bro. There was those rules in WD years ago but I wouldn't be surprised if they're irrelevant now. I'm sure there's stuff in Imperial armour which you could use as a guide, but for something like a uberpulsa it's going to be house rules only (for the time being...)

ill have an ask about, bound to be something

B/A!!!!

Dont know how the hell I missed this until now!

I started trying to crunch the numbers for the build when I first saw it after I got over how freeking impressive its is. You really did a great job. It totaly looks like some thing GW would sell, and for the most part ( not knowing at this time what tricks you used to insure it will stand the test of transport and gaming as I am sure its heavy as hell) anyone could build a similar contraption with the end result looking the part as vast majortiy of peices are GW and not scratch done.

A truely ingenious model you have created sir, and to achieve that look at that size,wow man just WOW! Probably the single most impressive scratch build I have seen to date and I been at this hobby going on close to 17 years. Cant wait to see what you paint it up like.

Guys, white and gold is fine, if he's going for more of an 18th C. Rococo look, rather than a dark grey gothic look.

When the thing is that big, it gets painted however one likes!

Awesome, truly awesome.

Now blow something up with it and take pics! Your public demands a battrep!

I'd love to see a mini tutorial on how to make those point defense turrets. Those are really ncie.

Agreed, that group pic there just sets it off just right!

Cheers on an awesome modeling job!

I want that to have my children

I'm not sure about having them, but judging from the size of that laser cannon, I'd say that thing has a decent chance of being able to father them.

Awesome, inspiring stuff. I didn't even realize how big it was until I saw the comparison pics with the Warhound. Please paint it and post pics!

It would appear the OP has not posted in almost 2 months. I hope we get to see a finished product.

This is obscene. And by that, I mean the best thing I ever saw.

goof jop!!!!!

What's it meant to be? A mobile anti-titan cannon, or an orbital defense laser?

Looks like it could take out a frigate.

Locked for Thread Necro.

This mobile cathedral is in another new thread if you want a closer look.
