                        Great Drawde. Don't forget the photos. Is it the regular Land raider or the crusader?
                        Armour_freek (Dave) and sevrius (Will), you're welcome. That Bradley sounds interesting.

                        Personally,I've always wanted to do a Leman Russ that had been captured and modified by Space Orks.

                        But I got a question: do 'da boys' fit inside the looted Russ? Tongue [:P] Maybe it should be grotz operated.

                        Do you have the computer game "Dawn of War"? The Ork Looted Tank in that would be a good inspiration for converting your Leman Russ.
                        The game developers/modellers did a good job IMHO of "orkifying" the basic Leman Russ.

                        I knew I saw some screen captures of this game and a looted Leman Russ online somewhere. www.gamespot.com has it, here's the link:

                        http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/wh40kdawnofwar/screens.html?page=77

                        the image is quite large, thats why I didn't use the image tags here in the forum.

                        Is there room for a non-WH40K-playing-but-like-the-models-anyway kinda guy to join in this shindig?

                        What? Is this a joke? You mean you have never played W40K and want to join the GB? Well, you're more than welcome Thumbs Up [tup] What do you have in mind?
                        Oh, BTW, I only played teh PC game Tongue [:P] but thought some of the models looked cool.

                        Nope, no joke. I really like the detail on the kits, and the fact you can buy indidvidual sprues of parts or decal sheets from GW whenever you want them (wish more manufacturers did that...anyway). The rules seem a bit "out there" to me at times, and I'd just like to build and not necessarily have to worry about the point cost of a BFG-9000 for a Space Marine or an HATG-5k on a Predator.

                        I have a couple ideas. Will solidly declare my intention by April 1 once I get a handle on "the stash" of kits.

                        Here are my latest creations (finally...) - http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39707

                        Now to get started on the Land Raider - it's going to be a standard version, not a Crusader, and is also a new, untouched
                        kit, for once, unlike the "Scrapyard Challenge" Ebay purchases which most of my other 40K models are made from!
                        It will be built more or less "out of the box" in terms of parts, but may have a somewhat customised colour scheme. Dark Angels often seem to have elaborate decoration on their vehicles.

                        I'm not familiar with W40K color schemes, but I trust you choosed a good looking one.

                        So here 're my finalists for the GB:

                        • A small dio/vignette of Orks going after a Sentinel - not started, kits gathered

                        • A Salamander open top recon conversion - kits/styrene sheet gathered, some parts cleanup started

                        • A Servitor-esque conversion from a Ork in Mega-Armor, an Ogryn head, and some other greeblies - have the Ork in Mega-Armor body, not much else right now

                        • A small dio/vignette of an Ork "Supply Truck" with the driver taking a snack break - no kits, but some crude layout drawings made


                        And the winner is: the Salamander, unabashedly using the steps found here:

                        http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/imperialguard/painting/tank_conv/s1.htm

                        Imitation is *the* sincerest form of flattery, after all...nyuck, nyuck. I'm adding some "beefier" firepower for it from my 1/35th armor kit spares box though. We'll see how it goes.

                        Once again into the breech,

                        Hey everyone. I'm back and moving on.
                        I finally finished my Tornado (for another GB) and I'm focused on the chaos marines right now. I decide to camuflage them so I put little pieces of putty all over them. They are now ready to receive the second color of the scheme.

                        Sorry for the delay, but I'll probably start work on the Land Raider very soon.
                        I've a lot on my modelling workbench at the minute - I'm just finishing my X-Wing toy rebuild project and also have Panzer IV, Macchi 202 and Avro Anson kits in the process of construction!

                        BTW, I've never played a tabletop game of 40K either (though I intend to, once I've got a playable
                        army completed).
                        Up until the release of the PC game "Dawn of War", my impression of Warhammer 40K was based on vague memories
                        of reading some second-hand copies of White Dwarf 10 years ago (yes, seriously!) and I didn't really appreciate the difference between the Epic and 28mm games, or even between 40K and Warhammer Fantasy. I had a vague mental impression of small, rather crude and undetailed, cartoony pseudo-fantasy tanks and vehicles.

                        However, DoW showed me just how impressive and atmospheric the 40K world really was, and how cool some of the vehicle and troop designs were - it made me a near-instant convert!

                        Good lerxst1031. Let's hope everything arrives ok.

                        I agree with you Drawde. DoW is a great game. To bad the campaign is quite short. I don't play much multiplayer mode of that kind of games. Maybe we shoul play a match one of this days.
                        I don't intend to get into the tabletop game. I can't afford another hobby right now.

                        Well, decide on one and go for it.

                        Hey, people, don't freak about this question, please: What's the scale for the stuff we are building? My best guess is 1/40.

                        Scale wise the figures are about 28mm , 1/48 figures are 36mm so my guess is somewhere between 1/50 and 1/60

                        My Ravager has been on the back burner for a while as Inspiration has deserted me ,and Im waiting on the Woodelves to be releasd from GW so I can get some crew sorted out for it. Heres a little something I painted last night to try to get me kickstarted. Its actually for a painting comp I forgot about until the last minute so I had about 4 hours to paint this sucker.

                        It's been a while, but I've finally (today) started work on the Land Raider - stay tuned
                        for some photos later this week! I'm intending to paint the interior as well as I can and also
                        add a few details such as weapon racks and stores. Hopefully I'll also be able to make the side doors
                        openable, so all that detail won't be lost.

                        Hey Deusmex, l hope inspiration get's you again in a good way. That's a nice Tau suit.
                        Can't wait to see some photos Drawde. Oh, and I think opeanable side doors is the way to go. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the idea.
                        I worked a little on the Chaos Marines. Painted weapons and finished the overall camo on them.
                        Right now I'm working on something else, a Stug IV, for the 75mm GB, but I hope to get back on track later this month.
