"if all peaches are dead they will become good yellow minifigs" - brilliant!

I've been playing 40k too long to imagine orks not screaming WAAAAGH!!! on a brainless charge, so I too need some time to get over my orky stereotypes
- I refuse to be stopped by something as irrelevant as logic, the laws of physics, or common sense -

if 20 chickens can fit in a brick, how many pingpongballs does a crocodile have to eat so it can swim faster than a washing machine?

All the members of Clan Broga are. However, not all in the SCC. It's open to other small factions from the forums that feels the need to band together, details are to follow.

I'm going as far as suggesting that these trolls prime strengths are actually sensortech and stealth. They are naturally green, they blend in well with a grassy battlefield.

Some more pics of the Vision then. I like having good backgrounds for my photos, so not finding anything for this ship is awkard. I'm thinking of getting a really large sheet of black or dark blue paper, 1m x 1m or something like that.

Image
The frontal sensor array of the Vision wich provides intel for the crew in its raids. Also the ventral fin, there for esthetics and support i.e getting the hull off the ground for posing. Twin MK3 gaussguns flanking the fin.

Image
Best view of the Vision right now, showing off all main features including a prototype for a second main battery far aft.

Image
Dorso-frontal view showing off some greebling but also the rugged exterior of the ship. I'm imagening boarders having gunfights with security here etc :)

Image
Main battery in standard position...

ImageImage
...and pictures of it in broadside mode, also showing that all three barrels are individually movable heightwise.

Image
Side view. You see the lack of detailing aft, I've dug deep in my dark bley supply. small bricklink order coming in any day, but no regular bricks. I'll have to do something about that. Like, conquering an asteroid field or something. Also if possible elongate captains quarters, looks too small. Says Broga, not me.

Image
Picture of SNOT side + an attempt at greebling.

That's it. No interior yet, but that will soon change hopefully. Thanks for the positive comments.

The Greebles are very cool. Love those turrets. Do you have any thoughts of how to handle the step down from the back turret yet?

Ideal world = elongate ship 30 studs to make it a proper SHIP, put an extra deck and bridge behind and above the back turret. Inspiration comes in large parts from ww2 battleships.

Reasonable plan = command area inside ship and just put a backwards facing aft turret behind it as a "step down". Doable, and can make a very respectable broadside :D

Yeah, the bridge idea would be choice but I know what you mean about reality and more importantly cost. WWII ships are iconic of space warfare IMO.

Very creative army and very good pictures. I really like your background 100% lego. Can't wait to see your ship completed.
