Epic FTW my man!

Really digging that Ork tank! I wonder how you would do Ork BFG ships, I tried to do one a couple of years ago here. It's just that I really don't like the black iron goldfish models GW had produced, they lacked a certain nastiness to Ork ships I think they would need.

There is a guy doing custom ork ships, i can't find the thread i think it's on this forum though. Fantastic work i love everything he is doing. I'll try and find the thread.

Very curious to see what you'll come up with for the Orks. :)

Buy styrofoam, build one Hulk, about twenty Roks out of it and done for a maximum of 20 euro's.   ;)

The marine vessel is coming along well by the way.

I'm still waiting for a Space Hulk that is purely made up from ships, or is a gigantic battleship itself, rather than a a giant asteroid with hulls glued on it.   8)

And here we are, the completed Typhoon class strike frigate.

The Typhoon class strike frigate comes in three variants, annihilator, dominator, and subduer. The annihilator class is considered very powerful for a vessel it's size as it is one of the smallest ships to mount lance turrets on it's sides. The dominator use's it's speed to move in on target ship, and then fire's massed broadside's and moves quickly out of range before the target can react completely and bring their own guns to bare. While the most underestimated variant the subduer is one of the most versatile, carrying fifteen squadrons of fury void fighters, and fifteen squadrons of starhawk void bombers, the subduer can project it's lethal force in many places at once. The Typhoon's have seen service in every segmentum and every battlefleet, they even took part in the siege of holy Terra during the great heresy. Few forge worlds have the STC information necessary to manufacture this ancient ship design, it's rare to see more then a squadron of these ships together at any one time. More often they are broken into single ships used to quell small rebellions in backwater solar systems. Most notable engagements would be two annihilator class Typhoons, the Fury of light, and the Blessed hammer surprising the chaos cruiser Whispers of Intent. The battle lasted two hours, surprise was complete and the Whisper of Intent was completely gutted and only one of it's three escort ships escaping. The Blessed hammer had suffered major damage but was successfully repaired after six months in dry dock.









C&C is welcome, it was a long learning process, I am extremely proud of this project. It's the first time i created my own molds and cast my own miniatures myself. I've seen some rough spots in the design and building but from the beggining to this point I've learned so much about scratch building. I'm hooked!
