Way back in the before times of 2016/2017, I was blogging about model-making. The more things change, the more they stay the same. One project that stalled before completion was my attempt to build an Ork fleet for the long-dead spaceship game Battlefleet Gothic. I think it was the playing of Warhammer 40K proper that did that one in. However, I did not share on here anything of the 2nd completed Terror Ship, and I'm slightly better with a camera these days, so here we go.
Its been a while, so maybe I'm misremembering, but my basic approach here was not to mimic the official models and just make it obviously Orky. I.e. ramshackle and loads of engines, while evoking Ork walkers like the Stompa. Part of that was simply a lack of skill, but also an influence from Gurren Lagann and its big faces motif. These are built a core of knock-off lego and misc plastic, and then dressed with bits, some naval in origin.
So,why am I bringing this up again? Well, I thought I'd tempt fate and try again. I've been in a BFG mood of late, and got lucky with some cheap ships as conversion fodder.
Either I'll have something new to show in coming weeks, or I'll never mention it again.
