SKULLSMASHA'S
BATTLE WAGON
I had an old painted Crusader Land Raider in a box in my basement that I based
my Battle Wagon on. While this vehicle is quite large it has the foot
print of the original land raider plus the def rolla. I made it so that it
can carry 19 models plus a boss in the top tower. With the kill kannon it
can carry 12 models total, just like the codex stipulates. Both the def
rolla and the kill kannon can be removed so the vehicle can be armed in various
ways. More pictures can be found here.
WARHOUND
TITAN
I am sure that most of you that have seen this model on Forgeworld have had some
desire to paint it. It is truly a fantastic piece of military armour.
The nice thing for me is that I did not have to clean the model or assemble it.
My friend did that and I offered to do the airbrushing once he was done.
After airbrushing it I just figured I should finish it for him...needless to say
he was ok with that. One point of note on the painting of the titan.
I decided to do the two shin plates in different colours to reflect the need to
scavenge parts on the battle field. All credit for the fantastic battle base are his,
from the dynamic poses of the soldiers to the shattered floor tile. More
pictures of this fantastic model can found here.
ORK
TRUKK
This was a fun model to build. Basically I decided I needed a trukk for a
unit of boyz so I built one from scratch. I had used most of a trukk kit
when I built my Skull Hamma but I had just enough pieces left to make this trukk
look cool. I love the fact that it looks like a converted 1930 cargo
truck. More pictures of both the finished product and the bare plastic
work in progress can be found here.
GOLIATH
CLASS WORLD BREAKER TANK
This model was a serious labour [of love]. No less than 400 hours was put
into this project and countless dollars for parts and tools. As I said on
the main page, I really like Apocalypse and this piece sums it up I think.
It was made from 4 Baneblade kits, Cities of Death buildings, Forgeworld resin
pieces, and assorted things I had laying around. It plays as a Warlord
Titan on our Apocalypse table using the 'As is' rule found in the basic
Apocalypse book. The turbo laser side sponsons are exactly the same size
as the ones found on a warhound titan [Pictures of a warhound will be coming, I
painted one for a friend.] The turret mounted Apocalypse missile launcher
is obvious and the main fixed hull weapon could be just about any of the arm
weapons for a Warlord. More pictures can be found
here.
SKULL
HAMMA'
This model was done in my Baneblade series of tanks. It took quite a long
time to cobble together and an equally long time to paint. I widened a
Baneblade with plastic card and since it is just about as wide as I felt it
could be I decided to build it up. The FW Evil Sunz emblem and the WHFB
Evil Sunz icons really help to bring the model to life. More pictures can
be found here.
DEF
DRED 'Da Krumpa'
This model was done so I could have a very unique and huge model for my ork
army. I am not at all concerned with the new LoS rules since orks don't
care about such things. For this models back story and more pictures go
here.
SCYTHED
HIERODULE
Every since this model was released from Forgeworld I have want to paint one.
With Apocalypse I now had a reason to get the model other than just for
painting. I went with a combination of organic tones and a deep red that
combine for a pretty striking paint scheme on the table. More pictures can
be found here.
