In the beginning I intended Overkill to be a two-model Warlord. My first battle with her proved my theory a good one. The Banelord can be a lot of fun to field unless all you roll is 1’s and 6's. That was my problem last Saturday. Of the four turns she participated in, I only managed to have her either go Fire Frenzy or Blood Rage. And even though I went in to the battle with a mindset of "just have fun and let's see where this will go" it got irritating quick.
So before I created... Read More

IT'S DONE!!!

I finished painting it Friday evening and brought it down for the last Lucky 13 Apocalypse event at my local GW store Saturday. She performed pretty well and raised hell like all good titans should!
Now that I finally have Overkill done I can sit back and relax till the next project materializes in my noggin.
In the following weeks I'm going to build her some extra guns for swapping out and add kill banners.
Maybe after Games Day - Milwaukee I will start on the secon... Read More

Well the last month or so has seen spurts of progress on the Warlord. I've got her all primed and painted, but still need to make the flags and banners. I also built the Banelord cockpit.
Monday and Tuesday I constructed the tail from plastic split loom, paper-thin plasticard and coaxial cable for the spine of it. Slipped inside the split loom was cash register rolls with the coaxial snaked through all the segments. Then the plastic card was wrapped around the sections with the rolls in it. F... Read More

Damaged but not defeated!!!

With Overkill 99.99% done construction-wise my honey cut me loose at 11:00pm to go play. I went down to the local GW store for their anniversary. Some guys were just setting up for a Apocalypse battle and I asked if I could join in. They let me in with Overkill a Warlord Titan, 2 Vindicators, 2 Defilers, a Land Raider, a squad of Obliterators and a Havoc squad. Overkill was armed with 2 Vulcan Megabolters and 2 Gatling Blasters. In four hours I scored nearly 10... Read More

Is that a Vulcan Mega-Bolter in your pocket?? ...or, I'm bringing the Dakka!!!

It's a little boxy for my liking but in the end it came out pretty good. This is my first from scratch Vulcan Mega-Bolter. For the Biledriver I used a Spawn action figure Minigun and mounted it on 40mm base on a peg. This time I wanted to try to build it from the ground up. The barrels are from an I-MEX Chemical Plant. I'm also pretty happy with the ammo drum feed. Before I was agonizing over how to build an... Read More
