A flying squiggoth type thing…
Using a Warhammer Fantasy Battle Lizardman Terradon I am going to convert it into an Epic Armageddon Feral Ork Heavy Bomber.
The basic concept will have a howdah on top and bombs and stuff attached to the wings.
I have now stuck the little beasty together.
A Feral Ork Airship struggles through an electrical storm…
More digital imagery manipulation…
Though the scenery is mine, the models are in fact Warmaster Nice’s.
This image was edited digitally to include not one but two Airships.
Eldar, Feral Orks and Imperial Guard Siege Infantry…
Games Workshop have released their first (and only?) supplement for Epic Armageddon, Swordwind.
I managed to get a copy at the weekend.
Swordwind is a supplement for the Epic Armageddon game system containing full rules for using Eldar, Feral Orks and the Death Korps of Krieg in your games of Epic Armageddon.
As with the Epic Armageddon rulebook it has made extensive use of the Sabretooth artwork from the CCG, I know I would have preferred more photographs of actual Epic miniatures and games. Having said that there are some really nice photos of the Eldar forces and the new Feral Orks.
I do like the steam Gargant, but I am not sure about the other new Feral Ork releases, especially when you compare them to the Forgeworld releases (which can not be used in the Feral Ork list as it stands).
The Eldar Heavy Tanks which are designed by Will Hayes are excellent and much better than previous models. As these are based on the FW designs that speaks for itself.
Overall it is a good purchase though at £12 slightly overpriced, should have been £10.
I got round to sticking the wings on my Terradon which is the basis for a Feral Ork Heavy Bomber for Epic Armageddon.
However I initially stuck them on the wrong way round and it looked weird, so before the glue had a chance to dry I got them in the right way.
This model is not the most recent version, it is the one before. It is not a perfect casting with a quite a few gaps which will need filling with green stuff. It also doesn’t fit the flying base, so more filling there as well.
I still need to think about the howdah and the bombs.
This is Warmaster Nice’s (from the epic40k.co.uk forums) fantastic Epic scale Feral Ork Airship.
Based on the Forgeworld Warmaster Dwarf Airship he has done a fantastic conversion and paintjob.
EDIT: Though it looks like it was converted from a Forgeworld Airship, according to Warmaster Nice though inspired by the said airship was in fact scratch-built, which is amazing, he has done a fantastic modelling and paintjob.
I have done some more to my Feral Ork Boyz, these models use components from the Ork Boyz sprue and the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Orc sprue.
You may notice on one of the models that the body looks “funny” this was down to a poor quality sprue.
Still a lot more to do.

Here is a shot of the completed forces so far.
Still have a way to go. You will notice the Gunwagons and support vehicles mixed amongst the Feral Ork Junkatrukks.
Added some more detail to my Feral Ork Standard Bearer.
Not much real progress there.
