Description
This is an orkish looted Leman Russ Main battle tank, finished painting the tank somewhere this week. Was procrastinating a lot, so that's why I took a really long time to finish painting it.These tanks were formally imperial gaurd tanks that were salvaged by orks. This particular one is a standard type with a battlecannon, hull mounted heavy bolter, and 2 side sponson heavy bolters. And it's got spikes & blades.
and a crude targeting device and a bayonett! and I called it Russ Buckit!Anyway, I have a strange facination with battletanks so that's why I went nuts and finished that battletank. though I will probably not be fielding the battletank here as most of the battle maps are too small and confned to use the range of the battletank. Perhaps in the larger battles back home... perhaps.
Why is the tank red? Well, that's because of the orky belief that red vehicles move faster.
Anyway, now it is time to start gettin serious... so I may take a little break from gaming and start focusing on the exams.
As for the half dragon... welll...
not inspired enough now... sorry.The original model was a imperial gaurd leman russ battletank from and (C) Warhammer 40000, gamesworkshop. conversions and bullet holes and painting was done by me.

oooh! that's nice! love the bullet holes!
love the rust on the steel! ah! and the "bayonet" under the barrel!
did you drybrush? in some areas, it looks a bit glossy

Thanks
Yes, drybrush a lot. barrel-bayonet.
Gloss was because of the gloss varnish spray. It was at the time before I discovered semi-gloss varnish.

I wish I had this thing, even if I'd paint it red-orange, being a bengal and all.
BTW, I came up with a plausible idea for Ork-made fur-nobs. Note me for discussion.

Hmmm Russ bukkit
love it still.
big loud... BOOM!
fur-nobz. These things are in.... if I recall.... the feral orks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm? Feral orks? I had no idea they had fur.
I was thinking, some Mad Dok gets his hands on some gene-mod tech, decides to make a "maneata projikt" combining various animals with Ork genes, and whala: we get super-furry-orks. Two of my interests in one...and how to have my fursona lead an Ork army.

No, There's an upgrade called flash-furs. donnoe what it does though.
You know
you could mod your own buncha orks to look furry and just say it's one of the orky offshoots.

I'm not good at sculpting, though. That's my problem. Unless you want just some sorta blobby claymation-thing, you don't let me anywhere near clay or pseudoclay.
:deviant-TeronWarfang: has done some nice stuff, but he's an Empire and Tau player.

Awesomr paint job on the tank. My tanks always have problems themselves. Something always wrong with them when I first get them. X3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm...... I end up modifying the majority of the vehicles I get.... someway or another...... something to do with the fact that I play orks...... and it's a bad influence on everything else........

Damn those filthy bastards!!! Got to admit though, they know how to redecorate. Nice job making it their "style".

Love orky stuff

ok well because i saw some tau too
im a tau fan
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well
So yes, I have bits of both, but I'm one of the rare ork players
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah i see your point. orks are indeed becoming rare since other races have better troops than them (no offence). for example the dark eldar have better close combat fighters than them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep.... Orks have difficulty dealing with anything that can out-chop them...... is my common saying. Particularly hard dealing with the tyranids......
And most other races have more attractive troops with better armour..... and don't need to paint so many models.....
Oddly enough, the only race rarer than orks seems to be dark eldar..... wonder why.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
probably because of their low tank armour and maybe also their low toughness. toughness 3 can really spell doom on the dark eldar. the tau also have low toughness, but they can reduce that weakness with a heavy amount of fire power, high strenght weaponry and really good armour saves, not to mention their extreme manuverability.
a really bad day to be an imperial guard!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yeah, guess ya right. Dark eldar have high cost but have low toughness and armour..... not to mention, if you have to make them footslog they are dead..... And their vehicles aren't that strong either. Tau are at least cheaper and have decent armour and very good long range firepower....
Imperial gaurd don't care bout low toughness cause they are cheap... so you can have MANY pple......
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well it does count if the imperial guardmen are fighting a horde based foe such as the trynaids. trynaids are said to be the cheapest units in 40k....well that's what i heard at least
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah. Cheapest is still gaurds..... Damn conscripts. Each is worth 4 pts and you can attach a commisar to make them really irritating to break......
Tyranids are 7pts each.....

oh now i get it why there is that doctorine crappyness. blasted emperor! he's the one that's dealing my greater good and your WAAAGH!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Quite..... Seems that even conscripts are more common than gretchin.... pay 1 point for 1 more toughness, strength and better armour.....
dammit....
I hate fighting gaurds.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thats why we must thank Horus for his Heresy!
well if he killed the space marines on the way it would have been better
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes..... though I always did wonder why the chaos marine boyz lost even though they had the same number and also daemons to help.... must be his rotten leadership.....
But gotta thank him for his heresy..... otherwise da humies will rule the world....

probably because of the emperor, i heared that he himself slew Horus before being fatally wounded by the warmaster. then in order to survive the emperor bind himslef with the golden throne of terra.
as for chaos marines and demons, i blam it on Roboute Guillimann, primarch of the ultramarines, for there failiure. cursed ultramarines, they killed more tau and orks than any other chapter could shake a boltgun at!
but still bless Horus and the traitor legions, thanks to them both orks and tau can now cause havoc in the imperial controlled space! well orks will cause havoc, us tau must stick to the greater good thingy
