So i randomly decided to see wat my 'Cities of Death' table looks like covered in models!

I used my entire tyranid army and a fraction of my Imperial guard army i decided not to put super heavys on the table as they take up to much room theres also only a few of my tanks present much for the same reason theres just not enough room, hope you like it.

PS: Sorry most of my models arent painted i have few hundred to do and not nerely enough time to do them so the best i can do for now is leave them grey or undercoat a few sorry if you hate grey or undercoated armys im getting there slowly just finished painting 25 Vostroyan models only 60 more to go then on to the Tyranids.

Definately epic!

Awesome scale of this project can't wait to see it Painted

I've Been playing with weathering terrain ( in my gallery) so very interested in seeing other cities of death!

Looks extremely fun

Just a few more photos.

Truly amazing….. I never saw this before and here I am a big fan of City Fight…….. I may have to borrow a couple ideas for my project……
How many kits have you gone through so far?

apoc-tastic

Looking good, is that a Leman Russ Punisher i see?

dude very cool

very well done.... some great ideas there

Mik

Thanks guys, yea 'Haonn' that is a leman russ punisher.

I finally played the game with my brother the other day it had been set up for almost a week by that point begging to be played.

It was an awsome game and im happy to say an imperial victory i lost just ova half my army mostly because i kept charging large numbers of cadians in combat to out number the nids it worked just... i needed to keep the tyranids away from my tanks and heavy guns and wat better way than sacrificing hand fulls of cadians to do that?

The Vostryans were easily the stars of the match surviving a charge from a carnifex a hive tyrant and a tyragon prime plus hand fulls of lesser nids, only 10 of 60 survived but they killed almost twice there number thanks to having the first turn " thank the dice gods"!!!!

From what I've seen it doesn't look like you need help. To answer your question on the first page: Once I move I am going to make a bunch of mobile terrain and a gaming table. I plan on having 6 boards on the table at once, and the first set of boards will be a volcano theme to match my bases and the Eye of Terror background my chapter has

Thanks for the kind comment

Im looking forward to seeing your terrain blog when you start it ill be keeping an eye out.

thats a pretty EPIC battle , the scenery and nyds look great matey, also , like your vostroyan army , any chance of some close up shots of those guys

Sorry i haven't updated this blog for a while my life hasn't really been going to plan lately.

I recently lost my job my aprentership and broke up with my girlfriend so my hobby has been put on hold for a while but with the help of a friend I have started working on my city again slow progress for now but atleast I have started it again hope you guys like it

Sorry to hear about your life troubles , i too have a fair share at the moment, but dakka and 40k a pretty good for a bit of escapist fun.

Actually love your new stuff , the ammo dump is great, i ahve being wnating to do the same fora while now but never got round to it. Also the detailsing on your building is lovely , the sandbags are ace , are they bought or made , they look like the ones madmarty mike used on his city of death ?
can i ask where the barrels are from ?

but you saved the best for last ... that behemoth is breathtaking, how many kits have gone into that beast?

Sorry to hear that buddy! Sending good thoughts your way and keep your chin up, you'll come out on top!

Your city looks great, keeping yourself busy us also a great way to get through lifes hardships. Do you make your own sandbags? They look really nice.

Stay positive and keep up the great work,

Mike

Thanks for the comments guys yea life can only get better from here can hardly get any worse.

'Neil101' sorry to here you have problems of your own may the 41st millennium keep us occupied.

Thanks for the good thoughts 'madmartykmf'

As for the sand bags I make them all myself I may put up a tutorial one day time permitting. And the barrels I bought them from my local hobby store ill find out what company makes them tomorrow and send you a PM.

That behemoth has been nick named "Reaper" I used 1 banblade kit and 1 shadowsword kit so far plus a few bits and pieces from my spare bits box ill put a link to the blog below.

! The little missile/ammo piece is superb, I'm going to have to steal that. I even have one of those pieces, no idea where it came from (the bullet/missile looking thing with a pointed tip)

Thanks ! yea that little piece is a favourite of mine as well I may add a fuel dump stratagem soon, and that little pointed shell came from the banblade/shadowsword sprue.

Just a small update for now as requested ill post a few photos of my Vostroyan army starting with my Leman Russ eradicator ive tried to make it have a more urban feel with the sandbags etc........ Im not sure if I like the razor wire though any suggestions ? should it stay or go ??? and should I make the grey a little darker use 'codex grey maybe'?

Yes go darker on the gray, epic looking sand bags, troops are all right, no razor wire on the tank, its not formal enough for the guard.

So im working on another new building ill have all the walls completed buy tomorrow and hopefully have some of the detail finished buy Monday here's a few quick teaser photo's for now, keep an eye out for tomorrow's update

Looks great . how long did you rage for

Looking good buddy! Glad your keeping busy. How are ya doin?

Excited to see your next update

Mike

Wow. I must say, I do like terrain like this- the stuff that really lives up to the idea, as well as rather more real life situations (as in historic city fights, that is of course). I am really impressed and commend your pockets and your bravery in this task.

'madmartykmf' Yea im a little better, actually this building is helping keep my mind of things hopefully ill get a lot of work done on the city in the coming weeks.

As promised heres that update on the new building, when its finished it's going to have a ruined eldar falcon grav tank crashed in the back of the building.

you did rage heaps i was there. you should have seen how red your face was, it went a little bit like this.
then there was me

Nice idea about the AA guns ! As they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery

Looks good buddy

Your city is looking amazing, keep up the good work.
