Oooh, the mek in me is looking forward to seeing your latest additions! The grot tanks are really cool, as is the Malcador, even if it’s a real pita to build

Orks are looking good there Not Online!!!

Pita is a very nice formulation for what i have said about the malcador, but endresult is indeed awesome.

Many thanks

Now behold, Tonks


Tonk commanda







Tonks, need wash and base and then... done`!

Tonks! Seems somehow appropriate for grot tanks! They’re looking really cool already and a nice wash will be even cooler

Tell me this thing isn't similar to the Grot tanks and what Grot tanks are in regards to being a ludicrous concept , then again killa kanz are a thing aswell

Grot vehicles are just awesome in general, shame for the big one being so expensive for what it is....

Done
4 x grot tonk, based, washed and just in general finished.
Now 6 Koptas

So, as you can see this is now a full on loyalist thread!








OK now that i have successfully fullfilled my April obligations back to the actual project:

Welcome the Rust Bringers. Yes that means i once again go back to R&H and once again i full fill that theme army itch. Welcome to trench warfare, nurgle style.

As always when i do theme armies i have an idea that i flesh out, but this one i kicked around since i got IA13 at its release.

I am not particulary a fan of the more sick-mutated nurgle esthetique that is nowadays so common, i however really always kinda liked and prefer the grandfather in the very specific stagnation- decay aspects of his nature.
Certainly my views were also tainted by the Vraks background in that regard that i envision nurgle mortal armies, if they are made out of turncoats to find many a follower especially in siege formations and the artillery aswell as line formations that get ground down in attrition.


Naturally following out of this i can deduce what, why and where and how to field such an army.


-Such a line formation will be analogue to the good old IG setup, if only smaller due to attrition and probably quite a bit more experienced. Hence why Veterans should be a strong feature of such an army.

-Further considering imperial doctrine of one unit-type regiments that get thrown together in "temporary" ad hoc combined arms formation sourounding a core of a specific regiment with support regiment unit types. That means there will quite likely be some support artillery.

-It is quite likely that at somepoint offensive operations will be needed to be conducted, for that and sticking with a trench warfare theme there will be quite likely some form of armored support especially in an infantry tank type setup.

Hence, the following list written for an 5-6th hybrid ruleset using the normal IA13 list:



And now for those that can't read my disgusting handwriting in one of my black hobby books aswell as the thoughts for the units in spoilers.


HQ: Command Squad, +5 Disciples, Carapace armor for the unit, Plasmagun, command vox, Banner of Hate. Demagogue with: Archheretic Revolutionary, Covenant of Nurgle,Refractorfield, Carapace Armor and Power Weapon.



"1. Platoon"
10 Disciples, Carapace armor, Lascannon team, Champion with Covenant of Nurgle

10 Veterans, Deepstrike, Champion with Covenant of Nurgle, 2x Melta

Väterchen Rost/ Father Rust, (Malcador)


Heavy ordnance Battery: 1 Earthshaker


Field artillery Battery: 3 Heavy Mortars / 3 Thuddguns



And as a starter, yes the army will be a dirty khaki and using Wargames atlantic Bulldogs as infantry for the whole army from crew to command.

and for those that want to see something painted / the start.
Father "not yet rusty" Rust



If someone has names for the Demagogue / champions that he thinks fit the theme be my guest and bring them up!

Metal step.




Also field gun, with the darker brown parts indicating where i will apply rust deposite.

First the Arty.







I will make the rivet bands on the malcador the same darker brown with a bit more metalchinks to make him a bit more interesting to look at.

And done!
Well, some touching up on the runes but yeah, done!

Quite content, espeically with the rust and general weathering.
Contrast paints are quite amazing once more.
Just an awesome model when built so centerpiece and big arty is done for the army. sadly the rest didn't arrive as of yet..







And exhaust and touching up the runes done.





Need to get a better pic of the dirty barrel.

Anyways. I'd say father rust turned out well enough for my skills

Very good tank there Not Online!!!

CB

many thanks CB.

Anyways due to logistical reasons i could catch up repainting and fixing up some older chaos models to fit in with Phyraxes warband.





now i got 21 Plague marines for the ABC division of phyrax.
Nurgle is happy i guess

Fixed up my old Vindicator for Phyraxs warband. also did some runes.





Nothing fancy really.
Also did some more work on the koptas.

Great looking tanks. The Malcador looks awesome! The freehand on the chaos vindicator is really nice, especially around the cannon. The Khorne symbol covered in blood is cool too!

So here is the 1:35 100mm i talked , count as heavy Mortar.







well.
I think they fit right in. Btw, the soldier is a colour test, what do you think?

Father rust came out very well, can’t wait to see the rest of the army come together.

The update plague boys look great, papa will be pleased… he’d be more pleased if they were standing in some gooey slime bases I reckon!

Very cool rusty castle on tracks Not Online !

I'm a big fan of your scratch builds.

There will be a time, when i am done with the current project, were i will base all my armies. Many thanks!

It is, shame that it is FW resin and not plastic still better than some of the new 40k stuff, atleast desing wise and i adore it aswell as used it as a good teacher to use that rust thingy deposit!

Many thanks, which ones do you like the most?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Anyway, here's a bunch of crazy flyboy koptas that i progres on the sideline and will intermingle with the rustbringers as soon as they arrive and the finished field guns:

Dirty cannons! Papa best have blessed them or I’d be worried for their structural integrity!

Of course he has


Anyways.
Koptas finished.




Red skwadron




Green skwadron

I hope you have as much fun on the field with your Koptas as I do. I snagged enough black reach orks that I was able to convert a squad into big shootas as well. To be fare I'm not competitive player, but that aside I recommend Koptas for fun.

The artillery and Koptas looks great, I like the big yellow rokkits.

Nice koptas! Da red uns are clearly da best tho!

Koptas have always been nice, the idea of junkkoptas and their insane flyboys, nvm that they often were gems in the roster of orks.

Yellow = Big boom. Thanks for the Arty, shame my Bulldogs didn't yet get delivered.

gobert wrote:Nice koptas! Da red uns are clearly da best tho!

Green izz best ya git, red just fasta to die!

Anyways, got myself KT:





And fixed, my old metal kommandos with bits left over

I love the grot stuff!

Looking forward to the kommandos.

Nice work on the Kommandos, they look real sneaky like.

I still need to build the rest of my KT box.

Good looking kill team.

Many thanks, yeah kromlech grot tanks are really good kits can fully reccomend beyond the tread resin block thingy.

I even have the terrain box with the oil pump and an idea to convert a silo for a refinery, all i need after that is a hangar for my ork planes

And done.
