Default Dawn of War Diorama

Ok so I've been thinking about what to do over winter break when it comes, and I think I'll do is rally the boys and girls at the hobby shop together and make a scene from the intro to Dawn of War

So far here's what I have laid down:

The scene will be of the Marines counter-charging up the hill and the Orks descending.

Marines-

1.There will be 10 marines (one of which will be a Heavy Bolter) If anybody can get me some nice clear pics of the marines charging so I can see exactly how many there are it would be great.

2.One plastic Dreadnought, not much conversion work on this guy, the video makes it seem like he's covering for the other guys as they run up and then he charges.

3. Marines will all be using Assault legs

4. Sergeant may have someone hired out to do a custom head for, depends on if I can find one that looks like him or not.

5. Walled area where the Marines came from will have scattered Predator wreckage.
Orks--

1. There will be around 15/20 Orks (at least one Nob, Burnaboy, and Tankbusta) though because Orks have really bad posing in the legs they will have to be redone, if I can't do it then someone will have to be hired out.

2. 4/6 dead Orks around the outside of the walled area.


Terrain is no problem, we found that we are very good at designing scenery, but as such build will go as follows.

1. Scenery
2. Orks
3. Marines

This way we go from hardest to easiest, so we hopefully won't get too far into the project if and when we hit a snag.
