Eggs and Buggies

The Silver Skulls take up positions and assess the xeno birth shells.

Took a few shots of some terrain I made on a whim a few weeks back.  Little pieces that can be used in WHFB as stegadon/carnasaur eggs, in 40K as alien/tyranid eggs, or in pulp stuff as dino eggs.  Plastic Easter eggs, CDs and plastic lids for bases, various flock and moss stuff, hot glue/glue, paint, sealer.  Marines for scale.  If Heroes HQ is interested these may find a home there, if not I'll add them to the woodland/jungle selection here at home.

A battle brother covers the marines conducting auspex scans, keeping an eye out for the mother.

A chainsword is an excellent brush clearer.

Scans confirm not of Tyranid origin - prepare to cleanse the site and move on!

I also recently found some cheap Star Wars toys on ebay that I thought would make for good Ork rokkit buggies.  They're "Hailfire Droids".  I didn't expect them to be quite so big, but I think they're still an appropriate size.

Shown with some regular 40k figs for scale.

The big loop tracks are the main size issue - I'll probably leave them as is and just let opponents decide up front if they want to count them for LOS and providing cover or not.  I think that you could cut out the middle section of the loop and reattach the top part, shortening the loop but still keeping the effect; may try that out.

They look suitably bizarre to be Ork vehicles as-is, but if I feel ambitious I may add some gubbins or even repaint them down the road.
