Da Doom Fortress Cometh

Hello All

After a hectic spate of kustomisation, Big Mek Grubnutz has completed yet another mighty war machine for Waaaggghhh! Bluddtoof, and Da Boss is most pleased.
This model started out nearly 10 years ago as a lowly battlewagon, though having said that I did get a little carried away and it was far too big, having a 3rd set of wheels making it nearly 18" long!
I immediately chopped it down to 2 axles and produced a battlewagon about 12" long, open topped with rokkit launchas, bolt on big shootas a death rolla and a decent passanger capacity.
It was still too big for standard games and the few times I used it it did poorly so I decided to convert it to a battle fortress for use in Apocalypse games, so I fitted an ard case in the form of the corugated roofs and walls and gave it 3 big guns in the form of a kannon, zzapp gun and lobba all in turrets. In this guise it took to the field in a few apocalypse games and was much enjoyed.
Now with SVA XIII looming I decided I wanted a Tanka mob in my apoc list for the weekend so after perusing the Kustom Battle Fortress entry in Imperial Armour Apocalypse II I've retro fitted it with an all new Hull Mounted Supa Kannon and turret mounted Kill Kannon and Big Zzappa, along with a pintle mounted twin linked big shoota.
Here's some piccies...

Future plans for Da Doom Fortress are some grot sponsons and removal of some of the corugation on the flanks to allow fitting of grot bombs or supa rokkits! Mwahahahahahahahaha!!
Next up will be the dakkajet which I'm currently working on....

When I saw the two grots shoveling coal, I suddenly couldn't help but hear the Thomas the Tank Engine theme in my head!
Look forward to seeing it in action at SVA!

The Code 40K Blog and Contributor Run Down

The Code Blog is a group of geeks talking about the hobby. Basically we'll talk about what we feel like and hopefully pass on some tips en route. Expect 40K mainly with a sprinkling of warhammer and terrain making (DOC's Favourite).

Ok a little bit about the contributors....

DOC
Terrain building is this guys forte, if your looking for tips on building it, he's the man. The organiser, if theres a big game to be had, he's the one jotting down ideas and writing up mission packs. Superb workhorse in terms of painting, whose skills are rising to a superb level, a testament being his recent nomination of best painted army at SVA XIII for his super neat Necron army which is expanding by the second. Look out for his Pre-heresy Death Guard, should be the pinnacle of his hobby so far.

LUKODAKKA
Luko is mega creative making his own obliterators from warhammer ogres, building his own greater daemon and building the bridge for big tooth river. Winner of the Shiniest Army Award at SVAXII with his Chaos Daemon Nurgle Army. Currently finishing his Adeptus Custodes & starting his Pre-Heresy project Sons of Horus. More daemons to come soon....

RED MIST
What can we say, this guy churns out armies like a Tervigon pooping out gants (Marines, Nids, Khorne, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Tau and Dark Eldar) and not only that but to a very high standard. Mist is a crisp, consistent painter and converter. The newly crowned winner of Shiniest Army at SVA XIII for his amazing Khorne Army, check out the Titan! New Tau is on his agenda currently with more Necron goodness i'm sure.

TOONBOY 78
I believe his mission is to collect every possible Space Marine Army list imaginable. I actually think he may even be a space marine. Owner of a humongous and ever growing Space Marine Army, Dark Angels are the latest addition after completing his powerful grey knight paladin list. A superb General who has been close to best general at SVA every year, perhaps next year will be his time...

TREVDOG HOWLER
Trev has been a gamer since time began, a real crisp painter and a lover of all things fluff. Trev is 'forging the narrative' personified, he often writes stories for our games and brings needed roleplay to the battletop. Owner of Sisters of Battle, Nurgle Chaos and Pre-Heresy Emperors Children Armies for 40K and, The Kingly, High Elves for Warhammer. Look out for some Fulgrim following Heresy quality from him soon.

INNER MECH
Back in TheCode40K team, after a long hiatus Paul is back with a vengeance, a "Dark Vengeance" you could say. Dark Angels are his flavour and by the looks of it, his deathwing flavour is looking rather tasty. Is currently preparing for Worcester War, his first 40k event, some pants painting might be on the cards for this 1st company fanatic!

DARK BRISTLES

After a brief guest role Bristles is now a fully fledged Code member. This guy has some serious paint skills, his Golden Demon pin can atestify to that. With a whole host of armies under his belt for personal & commission, his first love Dark Angels, his 30k Mechanicum & recently his Death Korps of Krieg are all of an outstanding level. We're all expecting something special from this guy.

DR GUMBY
Our newest recruit (well to the blog in any case). Dr Gumby is Mr laid back and also has a great conversion knack as you will see in his Space Wolves
