It’s big and huge and mean and nasty…
This is a long term project which is taking some time to put together.
Using a WEG Star Wars Rancor 25mm model I am making a living Ork Gargant.
The model does look like a giant Ork monster of some kind and bears some resemblance to the Squiggoth.
It is my intention to add a howdah and add weapons to the arms of this giant beast.
This is really a mock-up to give some idea of scale and final look.
I have added a range of photographs I took at Bristol Conflict.
There were some nice games and I particularly liked the Ork Gargant “Dropship” or should that read Asteroid!!!
The highlight for me was the Warhammer World Ork army on display.
This is a really nice online gallery of a huge Eldar army.
Went to Bristol Conflict today and though there were some great looking games, I was very disappointed with the availability of miniatures.
There were some pre-release miniatures, in the main Storm of Chaos, however the Forgeworld stand seemed to have about three models… and the Specialist Games stand had very little of the new Epic Armageddon miniatures around.
Still I had a good time.
They are very well sculptured models…
As you can see from this close-up shot the detail on the new Ork Battlewagonz for Epic Armageddon is really excellent.
My Feral Ork Boar Boyz are on their way, and this is where the Boars are at.
Though they do seem a little small…
Still got some way to go…
Here is a model I created used bits from the Orc Warriors sprue and the Ork Boyz sprue.
Though my Daemonhunters army keeps getting left on the sidelines I did manage to do a little bit more to my Inquisitor and his Acolyte.
I do like the Acolyte model.
Purple is a very stately colour and fits well with the Daemonhunters fluff.
Another idea…
Following on from my other post on variant Ork army lists and a discussion on the official Epic Armageddon Forums I have thought of another concept for an Ork Army, a Lootas army containing a wealth of captured and converted Imperial equipment.
It could look really cool.
