"Originally used as a ground level bulk transporter on industrial worlds, the rugged structure of the breacher hover transport soon saw it pressed into service during a range of regional conflicts. After some years the breacher became the go to vehicle for siege breaking action, its thick Hull and short range flight making it ideal for literally smashing through fortifications."

This little vehicle started life as a herb pot from tesco - I was sketching up vehicles for the latest planet 28 expansion and drew a rough sketch of a cylindrical drop ship and said "ooo i can build that". an hour later it was ready for paint, and last night i got it finished.

I'm leaning more into a maschinen kreiger look with my more recent builds, with a bit of a grittier punk look for the actual characters, and i think this little chunky ship does a good job of mixing them both.

Parts are - 1 empty oregano pot, the spout from a long life milk bottle, some plasticard, some styrene rod, and a couple of bits of brass etch from a model ship. Painting was done with poundland grey primer, a sponge, and a bottle of vellejo chipping medium.

What a superb junk modelling build - very impressive.

That looks great!
You can also use the origano as fallen leaves on bases and terrain.

This is brilliant! The construction is great and the weathering is jaw-dropping. I love all those scratches!

Drop Ship? No, dropped jaw!
Beautiful work, it really looks like it came through re-entry.

Excellent weathering. Very believable as an old drop ship.
