Obviously there's an Ork player in this group

No further words required

Fortress of Arrogance completed

I think I can finally put this one in the done column

Truth be told, I came close to re-doing the murals a second time by eliminating the banner and just leaving the skulls (and I still might -- lol)

 And here's the walk-around

I liked the details in the engine compartment, so I ended up hinging the grilled cover, I'll just leave the other hatch off

Hope you all enjoyed this.

More Greatcoats

My first platoon of greatcoats are ready to be primed; well at least the troops are.  This platoon will be lead by Al-Rahem or at least my great-coated interpretation.  Al or Alexei Romanov as I'm calling him is still a WIP.  First up is the platoon command squad with 3 meltas.

Sergei Marbov Painted

Here's my Sly Marbo counts-as all painted up and ready to give the enemies of the imperium a little surprise.  Enjoy!

Sergei Marbov (Sly Marbo)

 This is a model I've been wanting to do for a while -- Sly Marbo with a Russian feel.   I started with the cigar-chomping Sentinel Pilot head and added a furry hat with green stuff.  I also extended the cigar with a bit of paper-clip wire to make it more visible.  His demo charge is made from a couple of pieces of plastic rod and a bit of thin styrene rod for the fuse.

Fortress of Arrogance

This was actually the first Super-Heavy conversion that I undertook.  My wife loved the Fortress of Arrogance in the Apocalypse book and made me promise to build one.  The FoA is basically a Baneblade with a command deck on top of the turret and some extra bling distributed about the hull.  The command deck is pretty easily constructed using the balcony bits from the Basilica Administratum kit and some Plastruct tread plate.

Great Coat Guard/Hot-Shot Lasguns

I picked up a box of the Wargames Factory Shock Troops to build
some great coated Guardsmen to use as regular troops alongside of my Vostroyan Veterans.   I built and painted up two models as a test and I think they The WGF bodies combined with GW arms and the Pig Iron Winter Militia heads make for some nice unique looking models.

 Since I used GW arms for these guys, I have plenty of the guns that came with the shock troops left over.  Obviously these would make great looking shotguns, but I've also been looking for a modeling solution for  a hot-shot lasgun -- by combining the shotgun with the muzzle piece of the Catachan lasgun I now have pretty heavy-duty looking lasgun.
