The Grim Thread of 40K Orky Lunacy of or pertaining to The Wrestler of Dessert

The one in the back puts me in mind of a Kris Kuksi Churchtank.

Albeit with more colour.

That is so cool!!! I'm going to have to break down and build something like this some day....     Snap up some armor kit and some house kit and slap them bad boys together.

The one at the back is a Brain Crusha, one of the more famous Ork vehicle designs from older Warhammer 40,000. The Ork aesthetic changed around 1998, and such goofy things are a thing of the past. But the perfect addition to my retro army. Actually, there's a whole series of orky tanks with that look. They were designed fro Epic (a game which used much smaller figures meaning large vehicles were practical), but what with GW's attitude to size, they are becoming more and more normal sized for 40k...

The Gobsmasha (the one in front) was almost the subject of a tutorial, but it stalled for a while, and then it appears I deleted the progress pics from my phone not realising I had not downloaded them yet...

Sounds like building another one is a goer, then... 

I was kind of intrigued by the whole SuperDuperHeavyBehemoth-thing, to the extent of building a Storm Hammer, but as it turned out it wasn't NEARLY big enough ( I only based the 25mm version on a Leopard, and didn't add any extra length) so it languished after a coat of primer.

Good lord! Can it be... the return of Scale Reference Cat? Is he actually being helpful in determining the scale of a model?

Unusually, this model is currently fitting within the dimensions of the official version at present, which may help to properly calibrate SRC!

Further Kill Blasting has been occured.

Scale reference cat was watching approvingly while these photos were taken, but declined to lend his services to determining the scale of the model this time. He feels he has done his part posing with it last time.

But how do we know how big he is ?

About 4'6" if he's standing on the floor in that photo...

And now, by way of light relief, Scale Reference Cat posing with some hand turned wands made for a freind's son's Harry Potter party. One has a Hagrid's Beard core. There was one with a cheese and tomato core, but it chose a young wizard on Saturday and hence is not available for photography.

Neat 

[puddingwrestler]

Tankettes!

Preposterously high calibre weapons!

Cat's being stalked by Morkanauts!


This can only mean one thing... TFH has been updating again!

[NARSES2]

Typical moggy. Feigning indifference 

[puddingwrestler]

Oh this cannot end well...

Yes, with the chronic worldwide shortage of Sherman Tank kits, it'd be terrible if something ahistorical happened to it, wouldn't it?
