Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Jager. Been a while since I had that! Got two bottles sitting on my shelf :S Not the drink to drink alone and my Mrs wont touch it!

Back to Gothic for the moment as I realised the deadline for GothicComp was almost up! Here's some 'almost done' pics of the Dreadnought. Not much needs finishing, just the metal on the engines and a name plate on the base. What are your thoughts about doing gold around the weapon ports for the Weapon Batteries?

I can just imagine the 40k version of Dave Lister painting the writing on the front lol.

prow free hand is fantastic, invicta fidem is a fitting name for such an awesome ship, cant think of a way to improve it, although now that i think about it, it needs more guns, everything needs more guns right?

Cheers mate. I was thinking of ditching the launch bays for more lances............ Best not start ripping it apart though in case something goes wrong. :S I kinda like the look of the launch bays though!

Wait........ what? 40k? Borak actually plays a game that is still supported by GW? Madness! It's true. I tend to dabble into the real world sometimes. I picked up a few metal dreads for cheap and figured I'd put them into my Jade Tigers army. This has spiralled into a full blow resurgence of 40k for me. Annoyingly I'm not sure the dreads will end up in the 3k list!!

This may not be the space marine goodness you were expecting but it is still space marine goodness I haven't had much time to do any hobby the last few weeks due to work but I've been tinkering with a conversion in the spare hour here n there.

This is Brother Sergeant Banek Hargrimm. Permanently attached to Inquisitorial duties due to being a bit of a nutter. He hates psykers basically and that even extends to his brothers in the chapter Librarium!!





I may make him with no power armour on, just simple robes for games where power armour is not required.

Excuse the picture quality but it's just a quick WIP of the colour scheme. I've gone for a quartered Yellow/Black scheme to represent the 'Grudge Bearers' Chapter. A Chapter created from Imperial Fists and Black Templars during the 3rd founding specifically tasked with hunting down and eliminating Iron Warrior Lords/Warsmiths and breaking their Fortresses.

(first pic is with the flash on so it obliterates all the blending/highlight work on the yellow. So it's for colour scheme only.

Really great stuff overall, but I am totally loving the BFG ships best! I am going to have to crack into some of my ships for conversions soon myself!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Scrolling up the page I thought at first you'd chipped some paint off his elbow!! Nice scheme, and I like the studs and bolt pistol, plus the helmet on his belt, a nice touch. The background sounds interesting too, what's the source for the Chapter, not sure if I've heard about it before?

Must be good if you thought it was a real chip! The chapter is my own creation. They are already mistrustful of psykers given their Black Templar influence but when this chaps real life brother was killed by a Psyker it flipped him over the edge. Eventually his quite loathing turned into vocal hatred and he started citing the edicts of Nikea, forming a wedge in his chapter which culminated in a brawl between him and a Chapter Librarian. Before the movement could take off Banus was placed on Inquisitorial duties............ for as long as the inquisition wanted. Not sure what Banus will think of this when he finds out he has been de-facto banished from his chapter.

Some better pics anyway.

That is looking really good, although not giving Banus a hammer seems like a missed opportunity

What about the heavy thunder hammer from the Deathwatch kit?

Not seen that in the flesh to know the scale to be honest. However 28mm Heavy Weapons are basically Pistol weapons in the Marines hands if that's a sense of scale.

Well, it's between the size of a normal Thunder Hammer and a Dreadknights Hammer, if that helps.

A regular terminator hammer might be good too. The size of those things is sort of silly to begin with, and war-hammers are actually not so big when you get down to it. A terminator hammer, perhaps with an extended haft, would probably be pretty good.

Fat dude for scale:

edit: spoilered for scale too...

Thanks for the size comparisons. They are going to be WAY too small for this chap. Anyway, work is still going a head (see what I did there?). The head is done.






Here's a scale shot of him and a 28mm marine to give you a sense of just how BIG this chap is.

Well if I'm ever up your mate I might have to give you an excuse to get those and Orcs and Jager out, once U finish the repaint on my chaos anyway.

Great stuff as usual mate, loving the space marine

Here's some of my completed scenery. You may recognise it as it's stuff I started AGES ago. I don't usually get the drive to do much work on scenery but after a recent game I've had the drive to get my board done. So here's the start. The Poster board and barrels are a new addition.












I'm planning to make a garage, an overpass and some sort of power generator. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the kind words mate. There's an awful lot of unfinished projects in here as well lol.

Any suggestions for scenery?

I know it's a tough one but cars (and trucks and buses and cargo equipment and whatever). 40k cities always look so sparse without so much as a cart or a wagon. Nothing like a real, lived in city.

So that matter a few civilians among the terrain, sleeping, hiding, being oblivious would add a lot too.

I have ordered a 1:32 truck so see the scale. I'm not 100% sure what scale fits better so I ordered a cheap £6 truck off ebay. Once I know the correct scale for 5mm Inquisitor I will indeed grab some vehicles. Not sure if I'll do them burnt out or not. Maybe a few burnt out and a few abandoned. The buildings aren't going to be ruins so it seems odd to have all the vehicles burnt out. The odd one or two looks like it's either gang fights or people have abandoned them in a hurry and/or zombie like post apocalypse style.

As for crates and shipping containers. I've been looking for things like that online and I can only find Die-Cast ones at the right scale and they're not cheap! So I may just make my own and be done with it.

Abandoned vehicles would have been my suggestion but what about shop fronts/stalls like a market place or street vendors? I'm trying to think of other things you'd find in a pedestrian setting... Phone/postboxes, crossings...
