[Megabattle] Custom Model / Datasheet / Idea Approval Thread

[Achillius]

Mike D has given me the remains of his emperor and I plan on resurrecting it and turning it into the baddest titan on the planet.  I plan on having some eldar and tau skulls to make a belt like thing to hang my chaos banner around his waist.  Anyone else have an Idea on how to improve the Black Titan?

It needs some curves, it's too boxy right now in my opinion, go on a raid for some traffic cones they'll help you with redoing the legs. Or heat up some plasticard and wrap it around something to get the shape.

Pick a Chaos power and use that across the entire model. Nurgle could be really fun to model on something that big, and plenty of elmers may help hide some sharp edges.

I'd borrow an airbrush for the painting, you can mix up large batches of paint and not have to pay for tins of paint.

Good Luck

Ron: I know the model well as do the others involved in the judgement, while not the standard model its size makes it an easy target and the custom job is good.  I mean I liked it before they came out with the offical plyon and still like your idea better.

If you could post a picture just so the community can see what we are talking about i would appreciate it.  Since, as stated nothing is being grandfathered into the game it still stands before judgement so I will talk it over with the others and see if they have any concerns.

Rich: You have no idea how much I want to enter into the gentlemen's wager.  What are you stakes sir?

Alan: I spelled it right yay me!! I think you have a great idea there, a dedicated titan would look awesome.

Walk around the store next week taking wagers.  I get a cut, I rebuild it.  BiggerAbout the same size, stronger, more chaosy.

I'll try to get a new pic up, but until then there's one on the Battleground page already, under "videos and pictures", it's the 5th or 6th pic, (depending on if you count the video link). www.battlegroundgames.com/community_pictures_megabattle2008.html

Looking at those pictures again makes me remember how beautiful that pylon looked towering over everything.

... and how beautiful it was to destroy.  *Tear*

[cryptoron]

Destroy it all you want.  Like all Necron things, it WILL BE BACK. *smile*

This is a 100% serious model I want to field, which encompasses the enitre ideal of the megabattle and my army I want to take.  It would be like having a mini-me on the table:

Dave Goss's [working title] Ego Marine supremus:
ws  bs  s  t  w  i  a  ld  sv
*    *   *  *  * * *  *   -

* = the number of models in his retinue
special rules: stubborn, eternal warrior
wargear: The strength of personality*

The Strength of Personality - The strength of personality is a legendary bolter with the power of several thousand machine spirits.  It is a bolter, with an extra rule (roll a d6)
1-2: the shots cause wounds on his own squad
3-4: the shots fired are rending
5-6: the bolter fires a number of shots equal to his current BS stat

He must take a 15 man retinue of a combination of a sternguard unit and an honour guard unit, following all point costs and upgrades for codex: space marines.

The cost of this unit: models plus 2,000 points

Please approve this in the name of good fun!
Im not even trying to troll stupid ideas, I REALLY REALLY want to field this, and what does it harm for me (1/30) people to bring it? Nothing, it isnt broken, it isnt rule-breaking, its just fun and different.  Do the right thing and approve this so I wont cry.

You can?  I'm impressed.  Does it result in a concussion?

see, someone thinks it's pretty cool.  Kevin, just consider it, it'd be pretty damn cool.  Bob don't you have titans to complain about or something more important?

Does the Megabattle eliminate the stats cap at 10? If not, you're looking at....

ws  bs  s    t    w    i    a  ld  sv
10  10  10  10   *  10   *  10   -

... most of the time. I don't know if base attacks cap at 10. Probably does, if there is a cap.

I don't know how to translate wounds here. Wounds equal to the number of models. (Edit for clarification) If you don't kill the Ego Marine outright, do his wounds reset or something? Strange.

[jesterofthedark]

I can't take this "ego marine" seriously.  Sorry Dave.  I just can't....

[GossWeapon]

I did! I even painted my damn marines tie-dye, you dissapoint me sometimes...
