About the Project
What happens when a Chaos Knight meets a Deathstrike Chimera-variant tank in the pretty countryside of Warhammer 40.000? They don’t shake hands or play football, that’s for sure! These two large Games Workshop model kits smash together and destroy a lone Guardsman’s relaxing walk along a pastoral lane, in this foot square diorama for Warhammer 40,000.

Arranging the diorama elements and sculpting the base
I’m building this on a foot square base, and I want it to be a pastoral scene that is rudely interrupted by a tank and a giant mech tearing lumps out of each other.
I’m also keen to introduce a human element to it, so I’m adding an injured Guardsman walking along this country road. He turns the corner and discovers a monumental clash happening just in front of him!
I’m using two main kits:
- Games Workshop Deathstrike/Manticore tank.
- Games Workshop Chaos Knight Desecrator/Rampager.
For the base I’ll be using:
- Sculpture Block 15 x 15 x 2.5cm from Amazon.
- DAS White Clay.
- Matchsticks from Art & Hobby.
- Red bricks from Green Stuff World.
- Camouflage netting from Javis.
- Green flock mix from various model train bags.
- Javis 00-scale tree
YouTube project video and my colour charts
I added the video to YouTube in the wee hours of this morning, and I also wanted to share the colour charts/palettes here.
This has been a monster project, spanning 4 weeks, but has been enjoyable throughout. (Apart from the blu-tacked fingers dropping off like 50,000 times!)
I’m happy to chat about any of the techniques or materials I used if you want to reach out in the comments.
