I have been working on this beast on and off for the last year or so. It is completely scratch built out of Plastic card, cardboard, and spru with the occasional bits added here and there. The ram in the front was warped over the summer so I need to reattach it at some point. It's pretty much done but I was trying to come up with some ideas to make it pop a little more, Maybe some Hazard stripes on the ram or soemthing.

Hope you enjoy!

I definitely think it needs more contrast. More blue plates, maybe? I definitely think hazard stripes would be great; the yellow would contrast great with the blue. The model itself is great, though. Splendid conversion work.

Now, that looks really cool o.O

Very original too...

But i agree with Darth in the contrast thing... It looks very monochromatic from here. How many boyz you could put in the top?

**Soul Samurai**

I love it!

Thanks! I'll have to add some more contrast and get some better pictures with Boyz all over it. It can hold about 12 - 15 boyz on top, about 6 on the side walkway thing, and the other side door actually opens which can hold another 7.

ZOGGIN' BOOTIFUL. And yeah, definitely original!

Howl's Moving Castle!

Hey guys! Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions. Let me know what you think!

This is insanely cool. I really like the subtle OSL you did with the eye. The added contrast really does make a difference, too. Does it have a name yet?

Thanks! I tried to do some OSL on the green power tube in the back too but I don't think it translated as well. Names arent my forte' but maybe the Bruza' Kruza' or something, lol.

**sirlynchmob**

That is really awesome

**Soul Samurai**

Looks even better than before! The Orks swarming all over it really bring it to life. Great photography by the way.

Bootiful! I would love to play a game with this as the centre piece! And finally an army that could realistically lug it's bastion around with it from battlefield to battlefield.

**Darth Bob**

Huge improvement with the added color. Gives it a lot of contrast and makes it pop! It also looks more ramshackle and Orky, as well. Fantastic job!

**Novasetri**

Wow, thanks for the kind words everyone!

This is so "Rule of Cool" that I would happily let it on my gaming table. Either as a Bastion or a Siege Tower. And I know there's no Siege Tower unit, but damnit if I can't come up with something to get it on the table. Maybe as a Stompa or even a Big Mek Stompa.

We usually just use it as a run down bastion although I have thought of just using a scatter dice and having it roam around at random tank shocking anything in it's way (friend of foe).

That's perfectly orky!

Though any mobile Bastian that's orky needs a random chance of breaking down to reflect its slightly hap hazzed engineering or other random results.
