Well, if they had a large scale ship n\model that turret was similar to the one of the Lutzow/Graf Spee pocket Battleships. 11inch cannons on a massive tank was the p-1000 concept.

You may need to scratch build it, thankfully it is a fairly straight forward angle design. Dowels could be used to make the cannon barrels. and 4k seems a good points value for such a well defended and armored monster!

When i designed the rules i checked around for the Warlord and Emperor titan points (and only could find the Emperor at 5000) and after going over the Mega Tanks weapons/armor and everything else and decided 4000 points was appropraite for the tank.

the shell of the Stuart probly only would react to super glue and i hate using super glue so ill probly screw down some sheets of plasticard then glue from there with all the 40k parts and such

Sounds like an opportunity to me.

After recent rediscovery of a large number of old Playstation 1 games. i think i have an idea for "Template" (my unmodified orange tank)

For nothing but lols, im going to paint him yellow and give the turret a pair of eyes (like periscope targeters) and call him "Tiny" after a fowl mouthed PS1 game character 'Tiny Tank"
maybe remove the coupala and chop off the range finder on the side of the turret. plus give it a green "mouth"

instead of references to the USA and all that (and Syntrax) and removing humans from war (instead increasing production in the manufacoriums). you can imagine "Tiny" as a mascot for the Admech or something.

either way. a "Tiny Tank" Leman Russ with a "Damaged Machine Spirit" that makes him..... well you can guess kinda nutz..

IM just gonna make him for fun and laughs if nothing else.



Edit: otherwise still searching for the next project. i saw a cheap Panther and Tiger tank online. maybe i could do something with those.



Double Edit: I must say this for my "Tiny Tank" Leman Russ

Tiny Russ! the Imperiums Cutest Killing Machine!

Tiny is set to the side while i get some additional yellow paint.

Recently a freind of mine has deployed Eldar (his side army, main army is IG) and the constant cover saves are bugging me. i can defeat them and their bright lance spam with my heavy weapons but the cover saves for many if not all of the eldar units hes using are coming to an end!

i aleady have 1 Eradicattor Russ with its anti cover save cannon and plan to create another.
The deisgn will have a rear mounted cannon that emerges from the rear turret like a mortar. the concept being the cannon is muzzle loaded from inside the turret then the gun would elevate clear of the turret and fire.

Another way to end the cover spam is a Colossus mortar, and i dont have any tubing large enough to place of the barrel of the enormus weapons. BUT i've conviced of a system with extreamly large rockets. THe rockets would be giant dumb fire rockets loaded with explosives that are stored in a large container onboard the launch vehicale with a crane to load the launch rail with a fresh rocket. If that doesn't work ill gt to bending plastic or search for a larger diameter tube for the large bore cannon.


Now. obviously a cheaper method would be flamers, Hellhounds, or Banewolfs which i have plenty of. but the heavyier armor of an eradicator or longer range of the colossus could crush those eldar.

Oh yeah, the nastyt re-rolable cover saves those pointy eared freaks get is extremely annoying!

the rear cannon mounted Erradicator's turret is built and at most could need a few tiny details. Can't think of a name for it right now. im likly to have it a Prototype instead of a Salvage in terms of fluff. The sub atomic shells are loaded in the muzzle when cannon is inside the turret, and during firing the barrel is elevated to angle akin to a mortar and the shell is launched at targets at a high ballistic arc (and coupled with the sub atomic blast of the shell, the high arc canfly over cover to kill anyone or anything hiding behind it (TAKE THAT ELDAR!)

The other guys here are a few space marines that have come into my hands most from all sorts of ways. the green one (i think its a salamander, im bad with chapter names) i saved from my brother when he had chaos marines and he was gonna corrupt him with spikes and other heretical symbols (he never noticed i had it until he left Chaos for Dark Eldar, so hes safe now), the blue ones with yellow on their shoulders i can't remember where they came from. the last one whos definatly an Ultramarine i got from a Tau player. He had a box of spare bitz and i picked out a few peices and things and at the end of the day he simply let me take whatever was left (practically the whole box), and this poor soul was in the bottom fully painted and his base was obliderated to nothing but a black strip connecting his feet together.

i removed the remnants of his previous base and glued him down to a base that had a metal floor style detailing (also gained in that box o bitz).
Let it be known. I did not paint the Space Marines. I do not know who painted them, or atleast i can't remember at this time.

Also for fun slapped together a commander guy with big terminator arms and a storm bolter with an auto cannon barrel.... dunno why.... just did...

Still figuring out the Colossus's chassis. the only idea i currently have is a patch job even an ork wouldn't attempt (don't quote me ) using half of a rhino, wheels and a armored launch platform for the Concusion Rocket Launcher,

Anyways. updating photos of an old creation i built long ago.
The Draggin Wagon. an old Ork Battlewagon "unlooted" to serve as a tank transport and salavage collector. Also used as an Atlas in apoc games. It has a trailor that can fit a Leman Russ of any kind and even up to a Malcador, a Landraider is a bit too wide but im sure with a siungle modification it could carry a land raider.

IN-game if the Atlas is towing a vehicale i attached the trailor and place the tow vehicale on the flatbed. otherwise just the truck cab runs around by itself.

Fluff:
The Machine simply dubbed the "Draggin Wagon" has prowled the surface of schrott ever since the end of the 500 year war. Driving deep into the scrap waste fields for days to search out good bitz of salvaged parts and machines to sell to whoever would pay the highest bidder for them. Its hauld everything to parts from a starships reactor cooling system to hundreds of crates of spare lasguns and armor which are often found dotting areas where the guard forces fought (whether traitor or loyal), to a massive pile of Cybernetic augmetic limbs. She has passed through generations of the salvagers and changed hands uncountable times, whether passed down from father to son (and in 2 cases to daughter), or lost in a game of cards or through a bad bet or simply stolen from its previous owner. Each time ti changed hands it was augmented slighty by its owner. Legend has it, it began life as a small pick-up truck that slowly evolved overtime through constant tinkering into a giant semi-tractor trailor with hydrolic pincer arm taken from an ork deffdread and heavy duty armor plating that is potmarked by battle scars made by the dangerous Mauraders who live in isolation in the scrap fields along with numerous other modifications . Recently she was tracked down and draffed into the 91st, its driver and commander Jack Uno being brought with it. in battle she roars through shell crators and smashes through enemy trooper and machines to reach any fallen or damaged allies, crashing through foes like a wild animal. The Draggin Wagons famous (or imfamous depending on who you talk to) bumper plate and rear trailor plate reads in this order.
I Win
You Lose
Those two phrases being the last many an unfortunate individual who got crushed by the Draggin Wagon would ever see as their life ended.
Often after a battle the Draggin Wageon will roam the battlefield to find a wrecked machine to salvage for spare parts or refurbish for combat.
The Rhino-Russ Burning Vengence, was recovered by the Draggin Wagon before it was transformed into a powerful fighting machine for the 91st, along with the parts to the Hand of Redemption Basilisk.

in the pictures, it has a spare EarthShaker cannon, held by the claw and the Paladin Laser Tank is seated on the flatbed plus a small squad of troopers guarding it.

I know fiction is ment for another section of dakka entirely but I wanted to tie it to the tank. Also be gentle. i don't play Eldar, nor do i know how they think/act/ and so on, its more or less speculation from a bit of research i did.

Eldar Pathfinder logs, Patherfinder Taylion, persuit of Mon-Kiegh regiment.

Taylion gazed over the ruined landscape from his perch, the battles had scortched the planet bare and scared from shells. The rest of his breathern had take positions within the remains of a crumbling structure, the identity of which had been erased by the same effects of war that had ravaged the rest of the planet. Taylion and his brethren had been following the mon-keigh for days, trying to pick off soldiers to spread panic like they had done many times before on other worlds, in far flung conflicts. But these soldiers seem twitchy and jittery, boarding on sheer paranoia and were able to avoid Taylions rifle, wheather from ducking into the armored behmoths they commanded or by simply never showing themselves. A few had fallen but they seemed to be the weakest and simply not cared by the rest possibly due to their inexperience, or was it something else? A rumbling brought the Pathfinders to attention and they all brought their rifles up and leaned into the ruined walls of their cover to blend further into the shadows. A pair of mon-keigh tanks rolled over a hill and came to a halt a few hundred meters from the structure the pathfinders where hiding in. One was one of the battle tanks usually seen but its main weapon was missing and its turret was elongated, the other was a transport of sorts. The transport dropped its rear hatch and several figures emerged from it. before Taylion could see them enough to make them out properly they ducked behind the transport, keeping the armored machine between them and the building Taylion occupied with his brothers, the paranoia the mon-kiegh had been exibiting showing itself again. Taylion gritted his teeth, frustrated by the mon-keigh's hiding preventing any shots, that and he knew if he shot either vehicale they would open fire upon the structure. eventually a small helmet seemed to poke over the edge of the transport. followed by two more. Through the scope he could see the sweat on the soldiers brow as he scanned the structure, but something didn't feel right, this was not usual of these mon-keigh, they would not poke themselves out like this, switching on the thermal vision on his rifle the soldier seems colder then the tank, until it hit him. These were dummies. but before he could tell his brethren one of the pathfinders shot one of the faux mon-keigh soldiers and it fell backwards with the absence of bloodsplatter one would expect of a headshot. The transport erupted with yelling and noise, and the tank turned its turret to where the shot had come from, the rear of its turret opening up to reveal the muzzle of a cannon, raising it to the sky, taking aim at the pathfinders. Taylions heart dropped and he turned to yell to his brothers to flee, but his command was drowned out by the deafening bang of the cannon, and the wail of the shell as it fell upon the pathfinders and the sub-atomic blast tore them to peices....

The New Erradicator is painted and running.
I've named it. The "Solar Flare" due to its sub atomic shells. The above narative is a play on WW1 anti-sniper tactics. They would use dummies as sniper bait, and when a sniper would shoot the dummy it would be used to locate the sniper and said sniper would be removed by artillery fire (or in this case tank fire). course it would be a cool ability in-game. to supliment troops with dummies to draw enemy fire, said dummies can't fire but would "take wounds" and things, but it would be complicated and such .

Anyways. Solar Flare ready.
Also got pictures of "The Final Word", my Deathstrike Launcher. Hes one of the origional few tanks i got when I started out, (you can tell by the tracks being painted, that and the paint isn't as good reletive to the rest).

Looking nice!

So.... here I am waiting for 6th. hoping for 2 things.

1. Tanks will not be severly nerfed (or at least not in such a state someone could just look at them and they would die)

2. Tanks (or vehicales in general) will be less complicated.

i heard about hull points and such but I have not gatherd enough info to come to a conclusion of it its good or bad.


Plus it would be lovly if tank shock did more then make the troops run away or step out of the way. i want to run troops over properly. and i don't mean single guys like Death or Glory. i mean have it akin to Ramming rules and each unit takes a hit from the vehicale that then scales with the armor and such of the vehicale and all that (with AP 2), and those that survive take a moral check. I dout it would make tanks OP but approaching them would be much riskier and would require faster units that can get into assault range before next turn (where the tank can turn and hit the gas pedal to run you over)


I just wanna plow through Space Marines or Ork or whatever with my Tanks and get the tracks all bloody!!




As for Current Projects. I may have found a new chimera, wwith the peices of a M3 halftrack crew space (the truck bed as it were), the top of a Storm Raven, wheels from an armored car, plasticard and other things. The math is wonky but im sure it coudl equal a Chimera in the end....

the new Allies rules everyone has been talking and/or complaining about (you decide) open the possibility to bring out Land Raiders or other Imperial Machines outside the Gaurd into the 91st Experimentals vehicale pool or use other machines outside the Imperium under the guise of Prototype/salvaged machines the 91st use extensivly, the Machine might not look like what the Stats of the Origional are but ill do the best to give it similar physical dimensions. of course they would be deployed on a as needed basis. but a full fledged Apoc grade army with all my imagined possible "Allies" unit useage" would be a formidable force like no other. Prototype Hover tanks with experimental hyper velocity cannon (hammerhead) , or a eight wheeled armored assault transport (Battle wagon) and more. But i don't know the extent of the Allies rules (beyond you can't have X% of the army as allies) so those won't be built until a long ways away (and if i decide i actully would want a Hammerhead/Battlewagon/whatever supporting my normal IG tanks and troops.)

or have some Melee units to deal with anyone wanting to beat up my tanks with thunderhammers and all that stuff....

So. There are possibilitys in the future.... to say the least.

I am cautiously optimistic about the changes in 6th edition being GREAT for us non-tournament players.

Briancj wrote:I am cautiously optimistic about the changes in 6th edition being GREAT for us non-tournament players.

Well i mean the allies thing is great for model construction (for me anyways), Gameplay i dunno yet. Ill see to it when i get my hands on the rulebook and go over it a few times.

Either way. Fortifications, Vehciales and the lot i can do it and probly will attempt at least 1 Fortification terrain peice the 91st uses (what it will be im not sure yet) and the Allied unit to construct im also not sure about.

Chimera is progressing, and is already been gifted with a name. the "ScrapYard Special", The fluff concept being the regimental cooks built the machine to be a mobile kitchen before it was armed and armored into a Chimera substitute.

The Main body is the rear end of a Half Track, the Wheel are from the same kit the Toxin Tracktors wheels came from, the Roof and turret come from a dissasembled (Dissasembled is a nice way to say "obliderated") Stormraven, the front end is actully the origional front of the Plasma Flare Manticores model (a german AA flak halftrack.), the rear door on the back (not shown) is the rear door of said Stormraven.

Soon it will have a front cab attatched and a place for the hull mounted heavy bolter.

Picked up a 1/35th Sherdinan Light tank today. Its should be the right size for a Macharius tank so ill bolt on the Vulcan Mega Bolter i have handy plus a few other things.
I still don't have my own 6th book (local store having the same issuse as everyone else with orders) but that doesn't mean i can't build tanks (no less super heavys).

The Chimera "Scrapyard Special" is still missing its front end but ill get to that.

ON vacation right now. will get to both the Sherdinan and the Chimera once i get home.



Concived of a potential Ally vehicale design, Use a large Semi truck cap model and extend the rear with a second set of wheels (or even a short tank chassis) and bolt on turrets and guns to build a Battle Wagon. I dunno but carrying 2 full squads of troops under 14 front armor with plenty of guns is nice.

That or use a WW1 Tank for a Land Raider. one of the Mark 4 Male tanks would be perfect. the A7V (German WW2 tank) would be a bit much but the German WW1 Super heavy (K-Wagen) would be cool.

A heavy transport of some kind would be nice.

Ok. The Chef's Special's cab is done. with a heavy bolter and hood (taken from a leman russ, to be model specific its from the Banshee), its really really rough right now but ill clean it up soon. Just needs paint and maybe a few headlights or something.

the next is a Sherdinan turned Vulcan Bolter Macharius.

Also. i have a question. i bought a small bottle of "glow in the dark" nail polish (im a guy, im not gonna use it on myself,) would it work on a model if mixed around correctly?

Im not going to use it as a standard paint addition, but for *bleep* and giggles i want a few models to have a glow-in-the-dark thing added for a funny thing to say "Hey my Tank/Chimeria/ Trooper/whatever has glow in the dark bitz.

If it doesn't work ill leave it in my paint box to gather dust, was cheap anyways only $3.

Based. with addition of antenna, search light, a bit of green stuff with some fantasy "base liner" (or whatever its called, the long bars on the edge of the square unit bases) for armored windows.

Sherridan shows promise! and nice a squad of the infantry!

i applied that aforementioned Glow in the Dark nail polis to the based "Chef's Special" and tested it by exposing the parts i put the glittery goop on. (the turret wind sheild, the windows, the spot light and the anttena) and burst out laughing later.

IT WORKS

in the dark the little truck has the painted peices GLOW which i find really funny. it will be difficult to photo but ill try. brb
edit: tried again and again to photo the truck glowing in the dark. but the camera can't pick it up and refuses to take a picture in the dark.

Cool, can't wait to see the effect.

Loving this the imagination that has gone into it really is awesome a refreshing change...

Keep up the good work.

okay.....

i think i may have captured the glow-in-the-dark glow of the nail polish i applied to the "Chimera" truck on camera. Its glittery and blue in color in light. but in the dark its the standard green glow.

its not a picture of a black screen with glowing bits in the center (camera refused to take a picture like that).

but the painted peices have a strange green glow to them. There is no fluff or anything im going to attached to the truck for the reason it glows. i just thought it would be amusing for select models to have glow-in-the-dark parts.

Here she is.
The bright light in the experiment photo is the camera flash. it was on night settings, so it used a breif flash followed by a long exposure time.
oh... and the darkest room in the middle of the day was a bathroom.... hence the toothbrush and such...

The "Chef's Special" is a name with 2 definitions.
First it is often whatever the 91sts regimental cooks have managed to create from the availible rations, native meats (that are safe to eat) or whatever meats they have brought with them, and some of their special secret spices.
Its an aquired taste and is served with flat bread. the bread then has the meats and cheeses + the spices piled on top then it is rolled up and eaten.

The second is the vehicale the regimental cooks have built to transport their goods, and serve as a mobile kitchen for the 91st. built from an amalgum of random parts, such as the roof and roof mounted multi laser turret being taken from a downed stormraven gunship. When not cooking up hot meals the "Chef's Special" serves as a fast mobile troop transport similar to a Chimera, the troops that are moved within the machine tell of the machiens insides smelling like whatever was last concocted by the cooks. Just never ask what it is....

Also. i managed to get a Glow-in-the-dark photo of the truck!
once again. ther eis no fluff reason for glowing truck lol. just thought it would be fun to have.

Woo hoo! Another field kitchen! Now mine is not alone!

thats a cool glow effect. your field kitchen kinda reminds me of that sont by joohnny cash itsa 41,42, 43, 44, 45 automobile...

Vulcan Sherdinan getting started.
Its commander is built and the hull is ready with twin stubbers in front and may add a few more bars and things like the front sprocket wheel's bar, possibly even stand off armor forgoing the sponsons heavy bolters. reinforced the front end with thick plastic sprue too.

Im not sure what to do about the Turret though. either use the Sherdinans bottom half to build a boxy turret to house the vulcan bolter or cut up the upper section of the turret and wedge the vulcan in while givein the back of the turret a square super structure for extra ammunition.

first picture of in-progress hull with vulcan bolter and its commander.
Second is Vulcan Macharius hull next to the Vanquisher Macharius "DreadSaber"

listing a bunch of ideas so i don't forget them. i would write them down but id probly loose that too. some may never even be attempted. others will. so don't expect them all to be built. these are just a bunch of ideas.

"Terminators" (SM allies, stand ins)
Guardsmen wearing large load lifter suits or some type of exoskeelton akin to the load lifter of Alien with armor plate and weapons integrated into them

"Marines" (SM allies stand ins)
Guardsmen with smaller varaint of "Terminator" exo-suit limited to only SM weapons.

U.F.O 'Venddetta"
Use a UFO model and modify similar to this.

with cockpit on the front of the saucer and a larger tail fin on the rear. Lascannons on forward facing hard points on the underside of the craft. Landing gear magnatized. UNder belly could have boxy cargo bay on the bottom for troop carrying.

War of the Worlds Tripod (older book based models, not recent movie adaptations). if built correctly could play as Warhound Titan. weapon arms can be configured with additions to represent Warhound weapons.

Future Tank X-1 could be Warhound Titan.

arm weapons would obviously be similar to the forgewolrd models. 2 tank hulls could serve at the tracks and the body could be constructed from plasticard.

3rd Eradicator Russ.
Cannon based off of the "Auger" gun from REsistance:Fall of man. with blocky angular muzzle break and heavy plating on the turret to protect it form the guns radiation blasts.


3rd Executioner
Fires large clips of shells with rapid fire cannon. shells have experimental plasma war head on impact producing the same detination of a plasma cannon. has a distinct sound (in my imagination anyways...) with the cannons discharging all 3 of its plasma shells in rapid sucession.

2nd Punisher:
Turret would hold a system similar to the in development "metal storm" gun. (a gun capable of over a million rounds a minute)


2nd Extermiantor (duel auto cannons)
6X6 Super Heavy Duty wheels (Rubber with metal reinforcement) with Construction like machine for chassis.


Russ Addition
Flail tank with attached rules. probly standard battle cannon.
Leman Russ Upgrade from my "Create your own war machines/upgrades" thread

"Ravenger Mine Flail.
A large drum with a number of chains mounted upon it with adamantium balls on the end of the chains, with power cords running over the drum charging it and the chains. The arms holding the drum are welded into the sponsons (removing the vehicales sponsons), the Drum is linked to the engine by a complex series of gears and drives which spins the drum and chains at incredible speeds which pound the earth infront of the tank relentlessly, detonating mines infront of the machine, the blast absorbed by a large sheild on the front of the tank (which covers the Front hull weapon, preventing usage). When used in desperation (or on purpose) , the powered flail can shred apart infantry or beat apart even tanks as the Russ charges forwards!

The Flail counts as a Melee weapon mounted to the front of the tank, and it runs constantly. When Tank shocking, the infantry are hit S9 AP 1 attacks. roll a D3 Assault to see how many hits are taken per unit in the squad. Death or Glory cannot occur ( Its just Death, there is to be no glory). When Ramming the Tanks normal ram attack doesn't occour, instead the target is beaten relentlessly with the powered Flail, and hits akin to 5 ST 9 AP1 Power Fist Strikes.
That and it functions as a Dozer Blade in terms of Dangerous Terrain tests.

The Balence? Well..... to use the Flail as a weapon against the enemy (besides its Dozer Blade ability) you got to get in close (real close) and a Leman Russ is a slow machine, that and besides its main gun (and pintle weapon and Hunter Killer, if they are taken) its other weapons are removed (Front Hull and Sponson weapons).

Any Russ Variant can use the Mine Flail. From Battle Tank to Exterminator and everything else inbetween (Even the Atlas recovery vehicale which is a Leman Russ Hull converted to recovery duty). "

3rd Hydra
Either a Vietnam Gun Truck with quad .50s on the rear. or some sort of experimental weapon. either based on quad "pulse lasers" or the "Gyro jet, Rocket bullets" gun.


91st Imperial Stronghold.
Central bastion with extention to Sky sheild landing pad and the upper super structure is extended out to have large cannons (either earth shakers or battle cannons) in turrets for additional defenses. While at the base of the structure a section is cut out and extended to create a garage for vehicales and a large aweing is at the end of it. the entrance to the garage has sand bags or agis defense line with mounted guns (like auto cannons or stubbers)

extensive list. and remember. im not serious until im done building the thing. some of these will not likly be built at all....

Attempted a "Exo-suit Terminator", still trying to figure out the best option for Vulcan Bolter Sherdinan's turret.

bit'o'fluff

Radik and his cultist breathren had overwhelmed the loyalist guardsmen who were protecting the compound and had killed all of them they could find. But 1 small garage remained un checked and Radik could hear the sounds of heavy machinery and metal banging coming from inside it as his comrades attempted to open its door. Trying to force the machine spirit of the access panel into opening the door failed, with only the panel screaming back at its aggressors "Denied", suggestions fo cut open the garage door were made until someone noted the door was built from tank grade Plasteel. Eventually one of Radiks comrades ran toward the panel, having had enough of its screaming "Denied", to smash it with his auto gun. Before He could violate the panel he was stoped and shoved aside by a Dark mechanicus Adept who had heard the commotion. the Adept simply turned to the panel and with a snake like mechadendrite pluged in the correct sequence, Radiks disgruntled comrade grunted in annoyance at the simple action. The Dark Adept turned to the garage door as it slowly opened with a groan, the door coming to a halt at the top of its track with a bang. The Adept took two steps towards the black interior of the garage when suddenly a massive claw grabbed his torso and crushed it in two with the greatest of ease. A symphony hissing of Hydrolics and whiring of electric motors began and a heavy metal moster charged out of the gargae with the limp corpse of the adept still clentched in its left claw, stomping to a halt in the sunlight. Radik observed the steel beast in awe. a mere man clad in hulking hydrolic and electricly driven power armor, its size not unlike a Terminator, with the huge hydolic claw on the left arm and a assault cannon tha could have come from a land raider on the right. "FOR THE EMPEROR!!" the machines pilot roared as he slaughtered his way through the helpless chaos cultists....

the MAX-97 Mobile Armored Exo-suit. Heavy hydrolics and galvanic motors power the suit to give it super human strength. Its armored with thick plates of Plasteel and Adamantium while supplimented by the Energy Field generator inside the back pack assembly. it has varriable weapon loads and can carry weapons equivilent to a Termiantor suit, such as an Assault cannon and ammunition in one hand while the other wields a powerful melee weapon such as a Hydolic claw with energized blades (powerfist).

Using the Allies thing i can get Termis (after the other requirements are met of course) but these are my Terminators.... they will get their own Land Raider and all a some point.
Currently only built the one pictured below, which will recive a larger base shortly (Termi bases are approx 1 inch wide right? give or take?) the rest of the 5 man squad will be built as well.

Made a group picture of my infantry. some still need paint. others need repair.
Otherwise its the mass infantry of the 91st.











I havn't counted them. but i know i have a good number of them.
Storm troopers in the center, behind commanders, standard bearers, and Bob and Steve the Tech priests.

The MAX-97 is in the back

The Vulcan Sherdinan has a name now (or official designation if you will).
And a second MAX-97 Exo-suit is built, in this case its a "Standard" Terminator (just storm bolter and power fist)



The Exo-suits.





The ARX-109 Anti Infantry Heavy Tank.
Its still WIP and will have armored skirts on the frames covering the tracks akin to the WW2 panzers and a few other things. otherwise still slowly building the rest of the 5 man terminator squad.

Captured a pair of tanks.

a huge Baneblade ($35 for it) and a Chimera thats in bad shape (exchanged for 1 servitor and a Grey Knight marines head.)

The Chimera was allegedly stripped of paint but theres this gunk left over on it. and there still remnants of paitn on the thing. the Chimera was origionaly owned by the same guy that i got the Rhino-Russ from, then it came into the hands of the guy i exchanged the servitor for it. So its mine now.


Will be modified just like the rest. to what im not sure. might leave it a chimera but put a new turret on it and things.

The other is a full on Baneblade.

Painted and all. with only minor damage (one of the coupalas i missing a hatch leaving a large hole).
Got it from a Salamanders player (i forget why or when he origionaly bought it) but he said he was sick of it for some reason and i bargined for $35 dollars and got it. but im getting him another 10 next week. He apparently used the money i gave him at the tiem to get more magic cards (nothing wrong with it though. its just what he used the money for)



Also. i got to play as space marines against Spacemarines and Tau. due to the Space maine player having issues with his girl over the phone (or at least i think thats what the issue was) but i got to subsitute 2 of his terminator squad (who had vulkan attached) with my MAX-97 Exo-suit Terminators (see above units in thread) and they beat the sh(bleep!) out of a Shasho (tau commander battle suit guy) and his buddy so they their first got kills (yay!)
