With the new Adeptus Titanic now released and a copy of the Grand Master box now added to my build pile I have been determined to complete the Ork forces before is start on the new Warlords and Knights.
Despite my earlier intention to abandon the work on my Mega Gargant due to the size changes with the new AT, which has reduced it from a Giga Gargant to just under the new Warlord size, I reviewed how much work I had already completed and decided to complete it and after about another 16+ build hours he is finally ready to paint.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, the model was partly inspired by the huge mobile cities from the Philip Reeve Hungry City Chronicles
The Belly of the Bad Moon has a maw and claw to pull in prey and bring them into the bowels of the Gargant to be looted!
The finished model stands at around 160mm high to the top of the tower and will be on the same base size as the new Warlord Titans. With the bulk of my Ork force and the Warlord mad Eye Moongarr coming from the Bad Moon Clan i wanted a suitably flash and imposing gargant to display their power and Allegiance. With a huge Cresent this is the Clan personified, it is THE Bad Moon!
The Gargant has been assembled using parts from three Mega Gargant hulls and additional bulk and buildings added to give it more a city feel
Damaged shields from defeated Warlords hang from its shoulder deck
The back of the Bad Moon sports its own launch pad and Warlord Mad Eyes personal attack Rokket ship (or maybe just a REALLY big bomb!)
The extended back section is built up using two assault flamers from a Mantic Strider

The next step is to paint him up and he will be sporting a similar scheme as the Slasha. With the number of open areas and balconies I am also contemplating adding some troops once the hull is finished.
