Inspired by CELS' IG army for Epic Armageddon I've finally decided to start with Epic as well, I'm no longer in the mood of buying tons of new stuff from GW though, so I decided to basically recycle the various bits and bites Ive got laying around to construct several Ork Gargants.
I've always been bugged with the design of the Ork Gargants, especially their moving mechanisms, only the Mega Gargant seemed cool to me for the fact that it has tracks instead of that very IMHO stupid way of walking the other versions have.
At the Anargo Sector Project forums CELS made some designs of how he envisioned a possible variation of the Ork Gargants, as you can see here and here. Cool as they might look I'm getting too many Battletech flashbacks which just doesn't feel right for the Orks. For this reason I've been looking at the design of the Ork Gargant myself and I've been contemplating about it for quite some time now. The first concepts were very spider like, but the legs were too high up, making the Gargant look too fragile. Inspired by the Chaos Defiler I've been making some sketches of this Ork engine of war.
Here is the basic idea of what I want to model:
Im planning on making the main body from cardboard/plasticboard, depending on what I can get my hands on, the legs will be made from small parts of wood and the feet will be made from screws like these. Weapons will be made from leftover bits from the old Mega Gargant kit I got and various 40k weapons and other pieces Ive got laying around.
So what do you guys think? Any comments/critique/suggestions? I would love some ideas for weaponsystems made from 40k bits and bites. Do realise that most of my stuff is pretty old, meaning the newest stuff Ive got is 3rd edition era stuff.
There will be three Gargants (either Great or Mega Gargants), the first one will have the moving system like the one I drew here. The other two will be like
