BATTLEWAGON WORK IN PROGRESS
I lucked out and acquired a Forgeworld battlewagon kit in a trade (thanks, Krum!), this was a big boost in production, to say the least! I was starting to wonder how I was going to finish everything in time (I still am, but less so). Most of the grunt work is already accomplished, so all I have to do is tweak it to my likings. The BW will be equipped with a Zzap gun, two twin linked Rokkit launchas, Deth Rolla/Krusher, extra armor, spikes and blades, force field, grot riggers and red paint.

 

At this point it is still quite rough. I am focusing on the general layout before I do any real details (bolts, rivets, damage, repairs and what-not). There will be a second rokkit launcha to the left of the Zzap gun. I managed to crack the left side skirt when trying to un-warp it (oops!)

I have added a buch of extra blades onto the Deth Roller to make it look "extra killy". The drivers compartment is taken from a Forgeworld looted rhino kit (thanks, Oddballz!). Expect to see more spikes and blades in this area. I plan to model the driver and gunners to look similar to my 'ard boyz.




here are some detail shots on the Force field. People seem to not like the 'fins', so I may fiddle with it if I have the time.


6/16

Made some progress: I added a lot of weathering overall (damage and pitting), added a LOT of spikes and blades to the deth roller. I continues the low wall along the sides of the troop compartment. A couple of headlights were also added.

 

A closeup of the deth rolla. I think I might wrap some barbed wire around the shocks. I added a lot of pitting the the rolla, as I see it receiving a lot of punishment.

 

I gave the side skirts a bit more history. More to come...
