BFG Brute Ram Ships + 3000pts Epic

Hi Everyone,

 Today I have finished 5 'converted' Brute Ram ships for my Homemade Battlefleet Gothic Ork army. To build these (on my low budget) I used jet packs from the Ork stormboyz kit. I had this kit lying around already and I figured I could use the stormboy bodies for some special looking orks so they won't be wasted :) Here is what the stormboy sprue looks like:



Here are some pictures of my finished Brute Ram ships:


Here they are alongside my Battleship:


Also, on Friday I played a 3000pts game of Epic. It was the first game I'd played with my Gargant. It resulted in a draw and was loads of fun. I used the game as an excuse to take a 3000pts army shot:

More soon!

    Very nice, the BFG fleet is coming along nicely. I did consider an Ork fleet before I plumped for Nurgle, but I couldn't think of a good way of making Looted Navy ships for it (I am not a fan of the GW Ork ships).

    The one nitpick I have about the brute ships is that the one still has the gauges showing on top, but I still think it was an inspired use of the rokkit packs.

    And cheers for the Epic army shot. Haven't played Epic in many years but I still enjoy seeing the models alot and a force with so much character is a delight to see.

    Nice work on the ships. I love the 'old school' rocket looks. They remind me of the Federation Pursuit Ships from Blake's 7.

    I also really like your Epic Orks. I'm currently working on an Ork army for Epic and it's always nice to see the work of fellow Ork players.

    Very nice ships! I found your blog when looking for some scratchbuilt Ork Fleet. Nice to see some Deathskullz too!

    Hi,

    Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate it (and it's nice to know I don't just blog to myself!).

    I also enjoy hearing from other Ork players, especially Deathskullz! Very nice looking force Czasowstrzymywacz. I especially like your Killakan mobs. I've just painted up some myself, such fun models to paint!

    Andy- how are you finding Orks in Epic? Also what ruleset do you play? A few of my friends are trying to convert me to NetEpic...

    Hey Black_Cat - one of the guys on the Tactical Command Forums (http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/index.php) pointed me to your site and I've added a link in our "Inspiration" section. You should stop by some day and join us - it would be nice to have another Ork player over there!

    NetEpic is not as good or fun as Epic:Armageddon IMO. I started with Netepic but switched for E:A after trying it once, way better rules with more troop movements.

    Great looking force
