Just a quick post today before I go back to no internet land - still waiting on getting connected...
Lots of naked lead and plastic today, although I have been busy painting epic Space Wolves all weekend - honest! Unfortunately I didn't get them done in time to share today - just the bases and banners to do.
I seem to have been lured away from Imperial doctrine by the siren call of the Waaa-Ork and like many a Mekaniak my dreams have been full of the plundering of worlds and the Gods themselves walking amongst us in suits of iron and steel!
So I finished building my Gargant Big Mob. The Mega Gargant is painted up albeit rather hastily to get it ready for BOYL 2014 - definitely ripe for some detailing and chequers to finish him off.
The others are the fruits of my forages on ebay and quite the bargain they were too! One lot provided me with a load of titan weapons, two incomplete Great Gargant bodie and some weapons and the Slasha Gargant, while another (listed as a Dalek like figure!) gave me the third incomplete Great Gargent and the incomplete Mekboy Gargant.
I had a ton of fun hashing together bits to complete them as my budget was no way going to stretch buying actual Gargant weapons at BIN price son ebay. How many parts can you identify?
Happily I've found Adetus Titanicus rules for Gargants in various White Dwarfs and the old Codex Titanicus so I'd definitely like to get a Titan V Gargant game in sometime...
Gorka and Morka would have it no other way. It makes them look even more Orky.
ReplyDeleteYup - that was the design brief - loadsa guns and shooty bitz!
DeleteGreat work on the gargants! They look fantastic. I'm always looking wistfully at my dozen unassembled Warlord titans. They are most definitely on the bucket list.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave - they were great fun to build. Almost ready to start on my first Titan legion. Reckon I'll go with some traitors first - the infamous Deaths Heads...
DeleteThey're great ! I'm no epic ork expert but that's definitely how they should look to me ! Can't source everything but the clever use of everyday life objects gets 4 thumbs up from me. The mix of parts also ties the models together perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate - happily we've been doing a little light DIY hence the screws and other stuff.
DeleteI did cry a little inside as I chopped up a few RT heavy weapons including 2 Multi Meltas, a Heavy Bolter, a Conversion Beamer and an Ork Heavy Plasma Gun - but they came cheap as part of a larger ebay lot and I figured any Mekaniak worth his salt wouldn't hold anything sacred!
I also had a spare Pulsa Rokkit battery (I thought 3 was a little excessive even for 10 000 points or so of Orks...) which chopped up lovely to provide the weapon mounts for the arms.
Oh and plastic sprues always come in handy!
