Fighta-Bomma!

this is a forgeworld fighta-bomma which i bought at games day a long time ago (i was 11 :0)

i remember hoarding my money for months to afford this thing. it was one of my life goals to have one you see

so i painted it up in classic red speedy colours, even gave the flames a go!

played with it a few times over the next 5 years or so, mainly just liked the model. apocalipse came out and i decided i really needed to make a base.

i made this by cutting a circle of MDF out with a bandsaw. drilled a hole through the centre (wide enough to fit coat-hanger wire) and glued a circle of plasticard to the base. cut two 6 inch strips of coat hanger wire (incase one got bent/lost) and drilled a hole into the centre point of the fighta-bomma.

 

done!

Buggies + Wartracks

here are two of my scratch built rokkit buggies. i really recomend them for any army, footsloggers or mounted. for me, they have three main roles:
-block LOS. i usually park them infront of my looted wagons or my trucks on the first turn, you can also hug the armour 12 sides of your battlewagon. furthur on during the game i park infront of enemy tanks, blocking LOS and if they destroy them they become a wreck, still blocking LOS.
-distraction. twin linked rokkit launchas arn’t a friendly site for any enemy tank, and they can be suprisingly handy in killing feel no pain marines (ap3 with strength 8 means no saves!) and they are especially threatening if you speed one right past a tank, making it turn around to iether shoot it or risk destruction.
-finally, if they ever survive long enough (they usually don’t, but its much better having a destroyed buggy than a destroyed truck full of orks!) then they can actually deal good damage on those marines and tanks. i especialy like swarming my buggies to suround enemy tanks, they can’t get out!

so these two are very different. the first was made using half a wartrack, because i only had half a wartrack! literally! the second was made from an old grot racer dune buggy part combined with the guard dozer blade support and wheels made from tank spacers wrapped around with tank track.

The rocket launchas were any rocket looking parts welded together.

Deffkoptas

My first entry, here are my deffkoptas. the first two i made from the old GW bikes while the third kopta is a normal GW one with little modification.

 

 here is a rundown on how i made them:

i took off the big shootas, front wheel and tracks, flattened the bottom, added a main rotor and some form of rotor(s) at the back. made sure to add new big shootas on the sides and some landing ski’s on the bottom.

next i made ork pilots, removable iether by magnet (earth magnet) or by pinning them. I also used 1mm plasticard for all the scratch building. (general building information can be found in the “tools of the trade” catagory)

of course, i modeled one of the koptas with a buzzsaw AND a bigbomb =-D
