Right I've been playing the Kharadons for some time and well they're not my speed...so I decided to switch up may Sigmar Army and go Iron Weld Arsenal with Steam Tanks and Cannons, here a link to the new part: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/760600.page



This project is something I've had going on The Waaagh, and I am now sharing it here.

So basically, I remembered reading something somewhere about GW thinking about making Sky Pirate Goblinz to tangle with those Kharadon Overlordz dwarves. So I i've been waiting, and then well decided, If GW ain't ganna do it I will. The plan is to use 40k grotz and scratch build the ships, here's my beginning of their IronClad:


Well as I wait on Amazon to deliver more supplies, I started in on its main weapon today, a Sky Kannon. The local players around here play stormcast.... AKA good armor I need something with a big Umpft to it.

Mounted on the ship:



The mounting is a 40mm base which has a metal fender washer under it. The turret mounts 3 magnets, and a pin which holds it together really well.


C&C welcome.

Just got back from a long weekend camping and got a few hours in "plating" the "balloon" i'm going for a less armored look like they stopped adding stuff because it was too heavy.

On a modeling note the plastic that the Christmas decorations are made of is super hard and prone to cracking. Took me a while to get the panels I liked.

So while I've been working on paint, I got my goblin bitz. The two sheets in the middle are from ebay, the rest are from my bitz box. I'm starting my crew work, and well don't ask me what bitz are which I got loads. I think the gun is from old school dwarfs and the torso I think is empire soldier and the legs are goblin legs.



And the First of my Ground Forces (Arkanut Company) He's the leader:





And well a scale with an arkanaut infantry (I actually own a bunch, they're ganna get bitz out for this army)

I'm not a huge AoS fan myself, but this is brilliant. Excellent scratch building and a fun idea to tie everything together. Keep up the good work. I'll be following this closely.

Thanks for all the comments, concerning the airship I am waiting on money because I need bigger brushes and some more paint (also need to figure out my colors). While I am waiting to figure out things I built more crew and began painting them. Where there we're two there are now 10, these are the first crew for my pirates:





C&C welcome.



PS: I am also looking for parts, Goblin legs and Armored Torsos from fantasy if you can help drop me a PM, I got bits to trade and a little money.

Excellent stuff. That Ironclad is awesome.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Thanks for the Complements!


Small update, I am painting the Ironclad.





I do need some advice, I want to go with an accent color. My orginal thought was yellow, but I'm thinking a cream or white might work better. Thoughts?



Comments and Critique welcome!

Right update, personally I don't like to do updates on painting but here it is. I am almost done working on the paint, I want to add crew and some minor details:
the work in progress shots:




The current condition... ummm the pictures are bad as I only have one light, and well a camera phone need to upgrade my setup.
