You can take a look at my Red Krumpany thread in this forum while ya wait

For APO I`ll finish this bomma and my stompa first then I`ll build another bomma as well as one more stompa. Azmo has two titans, one knight titan and a thunderbolt so I need it!

R

Love the bombardier. He looks great. I've got this image of a giant catapult preferrably a Trebuchet to launch it.

@Llamahead:
Cheers mate! I think more in the lines of dropped by a larger aircraft

---

Arrait so I`m finally back in building mode after being away from work for a couple of weeks and I also spent the week after that with my family.

Now one of the things I thought the most about while away was my stompa, here`s the result:


Main things left to do are:
- final detailing on legs (more hydraulics, etc)
- dakka arm, a mag for the cannon, rivets and some more cables
- finish the supa-rokkits (the pen tips in the cylinders)
- some greenstuffing here and there for the worst gaps (after doing the final chipping)
- and...well I think that`s about it (besides more rivets of course).

C&C please!

R

The ork bomber is pure goodness! Great thread guys.

Thanks migsula

R

Love the Stompa it's much nicer than the GW one. Is it bigger? Got to love the hulking squat brute look.

Are you going to make the bigger ship based on a Baneblade?

That Fighta-Bomma is dead 'ard. After watching this thread it seems I'm going to have to start doing orks again, sold my old ones a long while ago and didnt want to jump on the codex bandwagon again. I love the idea of the leman russ as well deffinately makes it look a lot more scary har. Least if it crashed it could pretty much self recover have a relatively flat surface and a dead 'ard landing .

So amazing on both models, That paladin is amazing for being scratch made, always makes me jealous to see such fine models scrap built expecially titans and or exo-suited types as I'm not that good at scrap building unless its orks or death guard.

@Llamahead:
Thanks mate! Not sure, it`s scaled after the stompa in the APO book.
What ship are you talking about btw?

@Spacewolverine:
Wow what a compliment mate! Watch out for my next bomma as well, it`s a looted tank again but not a leman

R

I`ve now adressed the main issue people had with my stompa, the skinny legs. Also done a lot of detailing on it as checkers, platform for the Kap`n & Big Mek, and...well, detailing



That should leave the following to do:
- dakka arm, a mag for the cannon, rivets and some more cables
- finish the supa-rokkits (the pen tips in the cylinders)
- some greenstuffing here and there for the worst gaps (after doing the final chipping)


C&C please!

@Red

One thing I noticed, and it really stuck out to me. If you look closely at the 'props' on your fighta bomma, the little "motion makers" along the edges don't all go in the same direction. If they were all along a similar edge, it would give a better feel of spinning.

You could probably cut and pin them in a different direction pretty easily (I hope).

Otherwise, really nice, if huge Bomma - very orky!

Hey mate! Yeah I know and it will be dealt with For some reason I didn`t think of it when I fixed them in the first place

R

At long last, back from the trip with work and worked up goodwill with the mrs. so I've been able to do at least something...

The Paladin as it stands now.

Still, a lot of detailing to do, but it helps...

Red arrows on this(not-so-good) picture points out my attempt to make a hand ball-joint.


This have been standing about for some time...

Six War Walker feet got a new life as thrusters...


Hopefully easter gives me time to do some more...

Azmo

Great update Azmo! Estimate on how long it`ll take ya to finish the knight? Doesn`t look like you have that much left on it

R

No estimate...
If I can keep focused it won't take long, but been working a bit on that revenant...

What did you use for the black cable on the Stompa?
Things are propa hooked up...

Azmo

Wow looks great. Keep it up.

Cheers Azmo! Found some spare lying around that I chopped up. Got some various sizes as well. You need some?

@GitD: I`ll answer for the both of us, thanks

R

Here`s todays update:


Added the ammoclip to the cannon, greenstuffed here and there and added a "tad" more rivets to it all. I also fixed the arms so that they have a standard pose, they`re still magnetised I just made sure that they are in the position they`re meant to be. The last thing I need to do now is file the tips of the supa-rokkits, add rivets to the greenstuffed bands and then it`s off to a basecoat!

If anyone wants to add anything that I should incorporate and/or improve on the stompa this is the time as it`s only 24 hours before I basecoat it

R

Made a TL H-bolter, in a "spitting" configuration...


Fixed an hydraulic rod hanging in the air.


And closed up the armour plating around and above the shooty arm...


c&c?

Azmo

Finally I`ve gotten this far


Added some smaller details like the single weapon rack for the rear big shoota gunner and the exhaust vent for the smallest pipe on the engine, rivets on the supa-rokkits as well as filing the tips, and a fair amount of rivets to finish it all off.

@Azmo:
Love the TL HB! Pity it`ll be stomped though

R

@Red: Thanks! and: Yeah, right. This will blast the stompa to smithereens... (or somthing)

Could'nt wait, even though the upper body isn't ready for undercoating yet...
Here are the legs:





Well, it's home made... Could have used sandpaper a bit more... Did'nt see all the "beauty-marks" before I put colour on it... Ok, for table top gaming!

Azmo

PUT ON A WASH!!!!!!!!

@typhus: I WILL! or at least more shading...

Finished building (after over 6 months) and started painting.
Started with a darker colour on the upper body, I've planning to put shading on the legs in the same colour.




I'll post pictures from all angles, when I'm finished painting it.

@Red: PIP pictures of the Stompa???

Azmo

this is like the third thread i've seen you say this in. i'm starting to think you're an automated NPC.

great work guys! keep it up

@Azmo:
Been up on the cabin these past two days, will provide some PiPs later this evening

@WaaaghLord:
Thanks mate

R

So back from the cabin and with the pic I meant to post a couple of days ago:


Gone for the standard red with yellow weathering, green head & "white" teeth - all in all the same palette I have on my updated krumpaneers.

I have more or less half of the stompa left, but I`ll provide some more pics tomorrow for ya`ll.

C&C please

File: 7602/ 3213/ 32-10.294// Code: The Intricate Study of "da Red Krumpany"//

Date:0324987M41.

Subject: The following contains investigations by Inquisitor Anthraxus on the WAAAGH known as Red Krumpany. The investigation started after the loss of the mining colony Niflheim in the Hel Segundus system. At the time this was given to the recently elevated Inquisitor Anthraxus as he is a junior member of the Ordo Xenos and hence young and ambitious.//

Rating: Gamma level clearance//

Cross ref to: Reports from Chaplain Augustus 3rd Company, Dark Angels.

+++0194986M41.+++

+Findings:
Type: Super-heavy walker
Unit: Stompa
Name: "da Revenant"

As my earlier forays into the structure and tactics of the WAAAGH known as Red Krumpany has shown there are more than meets the eye when looking closely. The same can most definitely be said of this construct.
It is believed that the main inspiration for this stompa* is actually taken from the Eldar Revenant Titan**. As the Red Krumpany favours urban battlefields and excell at this it might be seen as a natural source of inspiration. Take a look at this pict which illustrates my point (in advance I apologise for the poor quality of the picts, but as you can imagine it is not an easy venture to begin with);

You can see the fairly thin and fragile legs compared to the bulky body. Those legs allow the stompa to move with a fair bit of grace and speed (for an orkish walker) through the urban battlefield, stalking it`s prey.

Now let`s take a look at the main armament of "da Revenant". In typical fashion of the stompa constructs the arms are fairly thin compared to the bulk of the main hull. The arms fulfill specific roles, namely one being dakka and the other krumpy***.

First let`s take a look at the dakka arm:

This arms sports the enormous deth-kannon with a co-axial linked supa-gatler. The orks do lack any type of accuracy so the natural solution to this (in an orks mind) is to increase the amount of shots fired. An interesting part to note here is that the Red Krumpany often loot Imperial munitions as seen on the magazine "clip" on the deth-kannon).

The "krumpy" arm:

Here we see a titan ccw in the form of a gigantic chainfist, a supa-skorcha and TL big shootas. It`s been summarised that the combination of the big shootas and supa-skorcha is meant to weaken the enemy`s hull so that the chainfist can rip through it more easily.

Top section:

Topside we can see on the left shoulder area the three fire points that a mob honoured enough to be able to be transported by the stompa can use. Also seen is where the Kap`n**** and Big Mek can view the battlefield from their command bridge and make their tactical assesments (see the primitive tube protruding from the head area of the stompa, this if for communicating with the main operators). In Imperial eyes this would be seen as extremely risky and foolhardy but seen from an orks mindset it makes sense. How better to feel the rush and full power of such a mighty warmachine than from that point?

Front section:

For the front of the stompa you can see the typical plated repairs the orks favours, two big shootas and three points for the supa-rokkits. As we can see all of these weapons are crewed from the point of the weapon and not from the head section which contains the main operators.

To finish off my findings on "da Revenant" here`s a look of the rear section.

Engine mounted high on the back. The small platform with the big shoota gunner has a door, this is believed to lead into the engine room.
Underneath this we see three entry points. The center one is believed to contain the holding area for transported units while the other two are for the various gunners and meks manning the stompa.


*Stompa is a common imperial designation for all of their medium sized super-heavy walkers. It is more an indication of size rather than battlefield role.
**The Eldar Revenant Titan is known for moving with great swiftness and smothness. That paired with holo-fields makes it a very difficult target and an ideal warmachine for taking out enemy titans.
***Full explanation of these terms can be found in the volume, Ordo Xenos: Ork Encyclopedia-da Words.
****Kap`n. A variation on the use of the more typical Boss for a leader.

+Conclusion:

"da Revenant" is seen as a new and very deadly threat in any theatres that the Red Krumpany will operate in. The very nature and inspiration for it makes it likely that it will stalk the streets and hit as hard as only an ork construct can against high value targets.
However I firmly believe that an attack from the rear will make it fairly easy to take down by targeting the lower section as it can barely hold the massive weight of the upper torso.


+++end transmission+++

Mostly done painting, not varnished yet.

This is a "Guardian-pattern" Revenant titan, so many details have it's source there...

Still a lot of blemishes that bothers me, but it had to be finished. And some of them were hard to see, until they became painfully obviuos after some paint. At least it can allways be tracked back to me by CSI...

Anyhow, it's armed to take care of other super-heavies and other armoured foes...











Well, is it silly???

Azmo

Here`s some better pics of the stompa:

Which you should obviously make from a Baneblade!
Possibly that could be dropped by one made from a Leviathon and maybe the Leman Russ could drop one made from a sentinel.
