For those of us wishing to scratch build, could you post some pictures of these ships on 1mm squared paper? I've always liked the look of Tau...

Sorry for lack of activity here, and prolonged lack of Tau building instructions...

I have something else, though. I have truly Orky way of looking at my creations. As in, they're in constant need of change and upgrade. Therefore, I rebuilt and repainted my Orks. And finally made some proper pictures of them...

That's how they look now:

First escort squadron. Lotsa extra details and new, better paint job. And new bases for everyone!

And the rest of escorts.

First Kill Kroozer. You see, never liked original Ork ship design. They looked like someone planned them. That's not propa. My ships are meant to look like their hulls were built from plates ripped straight from the surface of fallen forgeworld, and then properly orkified. Full random build, with three constant things: Teef at the front, engines in the back, guns all over the place.
second Kill

Third Kill.
and fourth Kill.

Now on to Terrors. I made ordnance markers for all of them, converthing suitable fighter models. Yeah, i actually orkified tiny fighters. no two are the same now. :D

First Terror. Al of them have launch bays clearly visible from the top to avoid any mistakes in game.

And a second one.

Third one.

And the last Terror.
Battleship didn't survive redesign process, but I'll probably build a new one at some point. :D

Looks like they're covered in blood and it ain't even dry yet!   :D

If orks want to paint something red, they WILL find the way. :D

Fighters are from brigade models. Great resource for BFG. I added tiny bits of plasticard and wire to make them a bit less regular and symmetrical.
