Cpt. Salvatore Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 So, one day me and my pal (Ork player) decided we will start Battlefleet Gothic. And, I looked onto my incredibly full bitzbox and onto the GW prices and said...Hell, this CAN work...Opened some pictures and took my hobby knife...And after two long afternoons, got this at the expense of two cuts and lot of bitz. http://i55.tinypic.com/2mzf888.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/2igkwec.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/35b72gh.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/qoivi8.jpg Need to finish the wing thingies, add lover decks and paint! And then duo of Strike Cruisers... -sigh- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212374-blade-of-vengeance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Wow, that is great. As a fellow BFG modeler, I'm impressed with what you could do with just a few bitz! And by a few, I mean a ton. You have a wide variety in there mate. Looks great, a small force of this and a couple of cruisers would look pretty spiffy.

But, second Barge is impossible to build, all cool bitz are spent,I am pretty worried about WHAT will I use on the rest of fleet actually:D It is only IG, SM, Orkz bitz and some plasticard and,thin cardboard. Rest of my fleet will be two Cruisers and 3 Gladius escort ships.

Firepower Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It never ceases to amaze me when minds can look at a pile of guns, panels, and greenstuff and go "I could probably build a ship out of this..." Or battlesuit, servitor, what-have-you. Nicely done man.

And, next stop is Cardboard fortress for Plaetstrike and Warhound titan (though, for this titan I have plans from some guy...) Of course after I finish my army -sigh- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212374-blade-of-vengeance/#findComment-2526245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt. Salvatore Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Finally, after many days of other joyful modelling work, update to my Battle Barge. She is now completed, all that remains is to get her painted! http://i56.tinypic.com/2cykw1k.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/n2llw8.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/2qlxqow.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/w0j86g.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212374-blade-of-vengeance/#findComment-2533125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathwing70 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 amazing what you can do with a box full of bits and some creativity! Any clue how it scales up to other BFG ships? these pictures also provide an opportunity to play "spot the bits!" :lol: so far I've spotted auspexes, targetters, heavy weapons + backpacks really cool job. Can't wait to see it painted! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212374-blade-of-vengeance/#findComment-2533304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 these pictures also provide an opportunity to play "spot the bits!" :) so far I've spotted auspexes, targetters, heavy weapons + backpacks I've spotted a laspistol somewhere, as well as searchlights from IG tanks, an IG Lascannon. I think i've seen a Storm Bolter and the front of a Ven Dread in there as well... The list is (most likely) endless :P This is a fantastic job! I don't envy you, by the way :P How long did it take you to complete the assembly? Average, that is. Looking forward to the Strike Cruisers!

Cpt. Salvatore Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks for all that nice comments. Scales? If my counting, it scales perfectly, I tried to make it in scale. On Warseer, there were some people who posted there the measures and I went from there. How long it took to assembly? Truthfully, I was making it in two sittings so I have no clue so all I can do is wild guess. But it was about four evenings so about...dunno, 20 hours or so? Wild guess really... Also, no laspistols, no auspexes, no storm bolters were harmed in making of this ship:D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212374-blade-of-vengeance/#findComment-2533603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
