[BFG] Project Octarius

[harec]

jey jey, lets start the new year with energy
I open anew topic for this year projects. I have a couple of new projects for the next year, and not all tyranids.
I will of course finish with the tyranid fleet but thanks to PW I have a more or less complete and huge ork fleet, just some ships missing, so I will split efforts for the moment in 2 fleets, and when I am happy with both I will restore my old Saim Hann fleet. And who knows I can not stay quiet, so in order to have some order I will centre my whole collection in just one topic, and it is going to be the Octarius conflict and the forces involved. For the moment:

-Leviatan tentril
Now in process I hope I will finish with the mature hiveship by next month plus the hole kraken family based on the old space fleet models.

-Da Ork Alianze(Not just the Overfiend of Octarius will have fun)
In process Deathnot, kroolboy, lite krozzer, incoming transports and grunt ships and everything paint I hope soon.

-Retauration of my old celestial phenomena
Starting with a new tablecloth I found in a board game shop.
Anyway if anyone has an idea of how to do a cool gas cloud I listen

Maybe/future projects

-Saim Hann, Ordo xenox, space marines, battlefleet tempestus or a mixture.
 And as allways photos.
Just an expository of the fleets


Deadnot WIP



and finally my new playing tablecloth

Today just an small  tiranid reply but witha lot of influence in the future. I finally consider finised one of my creations. I t is not much but its something.
And here you can see my first torpedo markers and just uno special assault boat marker(the normal ones are going to be worms as you saw) the tribute to wintermans it just need a tentacle in it mouth .





Some torpedoes are mising. These are markers for strenth 3 and 5 torpedo markers, I am not sure wht should be the size for a 2 torpedo marker. May a use also small wahammer bases?
I think I will add some red in the bases.
And soon I will post a sort of tutorial for doing What I hope will be quite cool gas cloud and blast markers, you can already see the prototipes behind the ships.

Well if your using the faq2010 rules all torps use the same (3 wide) template whic i believe is the same width as a small infantry base? At any rate the easiest way to do any of their bases is to print the templates off the gw site and transfer to some flat stock. 

[harec]

in that case I will have to buy a lot of fantasy bases .
Today just a little upgrade on the deadnot. Just to be clear, the deadnot is just started, I will not stop until tha beast is covered in tubes turrets and engines  .



It is going reeealy slowly but I gess in the end it will be worth it, and is just a matter of practice, with tyranids at the begining it was at least more slowly, now I can do more or less 2x12inches of tyranid batteship skin in less than an hour with better result, I just need to fine my tecnic.
Ass always hope you enjoy and looking forward for any suggestion

the tribute to wintermans it just need a tentacle in it mouth

Yeah ! Tentacles are my passion

Some torpedoes are mising. These are markers for strenth 3 and 5 torpedo markers, I am not sure wht should be the size for a 2 torpedo marker. May a use also small wahammer bases?

There is this option for torpedo base : http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/884/p1060737t.jpg
If no, if you follow 2010 FAQ, it's as AndrewChristlieb said 3 wide torpedo template ( 2,3 cm wide by 1,8 cm long).

Nice start with the deadnot. Use a maximum of plastic card for this work, better effet than green stuff.
