Storms and Shadows Scratch Build Approval Thread
« on: June 25, 2013, 07:53:21 PM »
Evening Gents,

As described previously I'm setting up this thread for people to post pictures of scratch built units they'll be using in the Storms and Shadows campaign. Now remember, Storms and Shadows allows for any 40k approved Forge World unit. Additionally, for those who have read the Rulebook already you'll know that the final scenario: The Hammer Blow is an apocalypse format game.

Therefore the rules of approval are same as that of the Megabattle. Any scratch built models are expected to be of reasonable quality, painted and clearly had effort and thought put into their structure. If you're building something specifically for the campaign I Recommend posting it early so the Battlegrounds staff has time to either approve it or let you know what needs to be done on it.

my Imperial Guard Army is Star Wars based, Galactic Empire to be specific. for the Apocalypse scenario of this campaign I was looking to get this model approved as a base to use as a Warlord Titan. I will be modifying it if it gets approved for use.

Am I alright to use Contemptor Dreads as C:BA Furioso Dreadnoughts?  That's what I've been using them for.

The idea of an AT-AT as a Titan is cool, not sure I see it as a Warlord, though, maybe a warhound.. got concept art for how you think it will look and how does it scale compared to other models...?

Take a look at some of the titan conversions from previous mega battles Warlords are big ugly bastards...

here's some scale perspective from the interwebz, depending on the size of the AT AT toy maybe a reaver titan

unfortunately, me and artistic ability do not get along. there was a fight long ago and we don't see eye-to-eye anymore.

I appreciate the support for being able to use them, thank you all!! the exact type of titan isn't a bi deal for me, I'm cool with any options. I just didn't want to waste my money buying and time modding if it wasn't something people were at least open too.

my idea is to build some giant guns and either glue them to the sides, or do some construction and rip the middle section of the AT-AT out and do have the guns sticking out of it that way. but I know there is some electronics in the middle so not sure how doable the ripping out is.

thank you to everyone!!

Hey brad, no problems there. Just make sure your opponent is aware of the swap.

I have not been able to get pictures for my Titan, But the last time I was in the store Derek took some with his phone and said he would post them here for me when he got the chance. Derek and Nick both approved the model and will have a picture up for everyone to see when Derek gets the chance to post it.
