Eres a pic of my planz for a Hammer class Battle Kroozer. ![]() My basic idea is this... 1: Take on TerrorShip Kroozer. Cut the dorsal fin off and replace it with engins from a KroolBoy "or scratch build something simular" 2: Take the bottom section of the TerrorShip and cut the launch bays off. Keep the middle bit of this section " the bit u stick ur prog into" intact and glue that the the TerrorShip as normal. 3: Glue the TerrorShip's origanal engines to the bottom setion so now all three engines has a simular setup to a Kroolboy. 4: Cut the kannons off the launch bays, glue the launch bays at the rear "see pic" 5: Beef up the prowl's lower jaw and attact the kannons there. 6: Add a few more turrets to the sides and there u go! This is how I plan to make my Hammer BattleKroozer. Should give me something thats is between Kroozer and BattleShip in size and look very Orky :thumbs Hope that makes sence, what u reakon? Now heres the problem. Ive read the fluff for the Hammer http://www.specialist-games.com/battlef....ast.pdf It states the Hammer is a "Battle Kroozer" where ships such as a KroolBoy are defined as "BattleShips" In the stats a Hammer is classed as "Kroozer/10" for Type and Hits whilst a KroolBoy is classed as "BattleShip/12" To me that says the Hammer falls somewhere between Kroozer and BattleShip. But then its been sudjested that a Hammer is just anuva class of BattleShip "such as the Kroolboy" so should be the same size. So wats right? |

The 4 special kroozers with names (Kroolboy, Gorbag'as revenge, slmblasta & Deathdeala) are supposed to be specially good hammer class ships. Actually I think the Slamblasta is one of the worst ships ever designed for BFG, and that any ork fleet of the same points can tear him appart, but that is not the point. The point is that you got it right: 1) The battleships are very scarce, so scarce that they are recongnized by individual names. Very few ork vessels attain such status at all since they cannot grow/scavenge other ships enough to be built to such level of profficiency. There are other ork BBs out there for sure, but those 4 were the ones spotted in the armageddon war. Ork battleships are created by improving previous designs. I would say that all those battleships are simply hammers with extra armour and weaponry added to them, in the same way that hammers arwe mostly regular ork cruisers that got improvements themselves. Ork build techniques are based on stacking more and more stuff on top of the previous stuff, so there you go ![]() 2) Hammers are much more powerful than the regular ork designs of the kill & terror variants. Still, they are not powerful enough to come toe to toe with an imperial battleship, so they are rated in between. In that sense they are more similar to the imperial grand cruisers or battle cruisers than battleships. Still, they pack quite some punch and are one of my favourite ships out there. I think they are what you would call "ork essence": loads of all kinds of weaponry and stright for the enemy's head!! ![]() I really like your designs. Extremely coll stuff!! ![]() ![]() Regards, Xavi |

Warlord 3 2 Gouga with 2 Squadrons of 10 Brute Rams each My Hammer can be used as a Hammer or a DefDeala as it uses the same weapons I plan to make a huge Dreadnought too... just coz I like em ![]() |

Doesn't look bad at all! ![]() With orks remember that you are basically an ork. That means that shooting things is really kewl, but you prefer to use a large piece of heavy metal to break your enemy skulls. On this issue, read "boarding actions and ramming since you auto-AAF", or even better, both ![]()
On the dreadnought thing, I love the idea and given your modelling skills I think it will look fantastic. Kudos to you. I would suggest using the hulk rules for it, even if you can design rules for it yourself as well. If you make it cost the same as a hulk (650-ish points IIRC) you can have a massive dreadnought already, with the advantage that if your opponent does not agree to play against your homebrew rules you simply say "ok, no prblem: it is a hulk" andyou can use it anyway! ![]() Do you plan on building roks or a regular hulk as well? I would really like to see what you can model for those. Health and sixes, Xavi |
