Thanks again guys!

Not sure I can fit a suitably sized 'nid carcass on the front - maybe on the back, under a tarp, Independence Day style (maybe with an Ork putting da boot or fist in, Will Smith style )

I do need to put a Grot Rigger somewhere. I was thinking under the gunner - but there may not be enough room. On the wheel cover seems a good alternative - though that is with Armour Plates!

And must have a stoogie as well, and an ork called "Fat Lady"

And possibly an apple mac you can use to hack into imperial vehicles and loot them?

There is an app for that???

you could put the grot rigger so he is hanging off the trukk vy a rope or chain or somthing

If you can get hold of the stompa gretchin, there's one hanging on which would look great trying to hold on and *not* falling of

There's also the grot rigger from the Battlewagon which has one hand extended out and a wrench in the other. He's perfect for that "falling off" look.

@Miss Dee, slice'n'dice, ceorron: We will see...

@moonshine, CommissarKhaine, Heffling: All good ideas worthy of consideration, when I get back on Tuesday week. I should have the Battle Wagon grot and, thanks to Santobell, I should even have the Stompa grot! Just don't ask where the Battle Wagon is... Of course, slightly more tricky is the twin Trukk - but they don't need to be exactly the same either. Also - I have the FW grot set too - so even more options!

There are apps for everything else, so why not?

Great looking wheels there. Just think, if your weathering is this good now, what will it be like after February?!

Battle Report!

"Oi! Gavver roun' you lot! Let me tell ya a story ov why Morgrim iz da Boss!" Ozmodii waited patiently as the Ork youths stopped whatever they had been up to and gathered excitedly around him. A grin crossed his Orkish face. Deze boyz were da future of da Dark Angelz. Doze dat proved demselves wud, like 'im, be administ'd wiv ginseed and progloid lands and take dere rightful place in da Inna Circul. But dat woz a long wayz off. For now, dey jus needed ta know wot it meant to be one ov da Dark Angelz - an' wot betta example dan da exploits of da Boss? A hush had come over the youths as they waited for Ozmodii to start. It wud not be long before dey started ta outgrow such disciplin!

@endtransmission: The great thing is - I expect that I'll be able to apply the techniques I learn in February on top of the current progress!

"Tell us when da Boss 'ad annuvver go!" the Ork youths chanted. "Or right, Or right!" Ozmodii chuckled. "Fair enuf! Well, az ya know from da last story, whilst try'n ta raise morale, Morgrim fell inta a tricksy panzee an' fishboyz trap. 'E made a valiant effort ta salvage da situation, but woz caught off guard by da panzee dread - no doubt due ta shield'n da boyz earlia - an da Dark Angelz 'ad ta retreat. Temporarily ov course! Once da ringin' in 'is 'ead 'ad stopped, Morgrim began makin' taktikal planz ta teach da panzees an' fishboyz a lesson. Da Rav'nwing woz dispatched ta scout out da panzee an' fishboyz positions - an' when dey discovered da location ov sum pointz ov int'rest to dem, Morgrim decided reliev'n dem ov dem wud be suitable retribution - az well az givin' dem a gud kickin' in da process!"

well done, morgrim did well
i can't wait to see him in the deathwing colors or are you leaving him yellow?

Nah, he will eventually get Deathwing colours. Eventually he will actually be replaced with a Warboss (Ghazghkull) model and the current one will just be a Mega-Armoured Nob.

Well I was a bit worried when I saw that huge red sniper drone in the first pic, but seems it wasn't a problem

Thankfully it was taken care of early on... Probably what held up the Kommandos...

You know, after re-reading the battle - I realised that half way through if we decided not to try and kill your warboss and go after your home objective we could have probably gone for a draw... As it was, I thought we had too good a chance of winning the game right up until my WL failed to deal one unsaved wound to your warboss (on the charge), and suffered 3 wounds in return

Good battle though, and a remarkable turn around for your orks. Next time, I think we'll just ignore the truk with the KFF and just take out your Warboss and Nobz truk

Looking forward to an Eldar v Ork encounter - though I'm still at a loss for what to do if you get first turn...

I always find when writing them, especially as I tally the Kill Points turn by turn, that I'm often doing better than I was thinking at the time

Between the firepower levelled at my Warboss, and the Wraithlord charge, he should have died - which would have sealed my defeat I think.

*Please* feel free to ignore the KFF Trukk - I deliberately spread the pain/annoyance amongst all three Trukks in order to mess with my opponent's target priority Most of my opponents know to target the KFF Trukk first - but I guess as you are the first to consistently blow two in first turn - maybe targeting the other two could work for you!

Welcome to 2011! Below is my current painting WIP to tide you over while I try and sort out my image problem again (of 6, this was the only one that worked )

That and I needed a pic on this page!

Welcome back!! Seems like you didn't waste your holidays uh...

@Yggdrasil: Depends on what you mean by waste I didn't get to spend it on Da Boyz unfortunately. Any progress from last year to this pic is this week only - it just looks more impressive all together

This is where I was at earlier in the week:


Somewhere between those two I've completed most of the black tidy up, especially da wheelz. Da Boyz and da Trukk still need their black fix, and I've even started the black tidy up on the Big Mek's red (I was originally going to finish the robe first...)

All of this is just to get back to finishing the Stormboyz Nobz - ie filling in the metal on the metal and red chipping...

slice'n'dice wrote:Looking forward to an Eldar v Ork encounter - though I'm still at a loss for what to do if you get first turn...

Field a speed bump unit or two to slow them down a bit is generally your best bet. Preferably one with that gets a scout move so you can get them as far across the table as you can before he moves. It's the only way I've ever successfully slowed the trukks down at all ... not that it's ever done me any good

@endtransmission: From memory you did alright in our last game in Reading

The rest of the pics!

Closer look at the black tidied wheelz:


Black tidied Marine pistols and closer look at the weathering on the Stormboyz Slugga:


Work started on Artsoldier35's Trukk driver...


The Twin Engine in progress...

(You can also see a bit of how the Trukk still breaks down for painting in these two images...)

That's it (image/progress wise) for this week... Still have my last (small) battle report to write up for 2010 - and then I think a "the story so far/catchup" post is in order!

wow looking good and happy 2011, i might have to use that red wheel idea on a bw

I'm looking forward to giving it another go in a couple of weeks time

The driver is looking good. In fact, it's all looking great. Especially the engine with the gas tanks

Why did you do the Big Mek's weapon green may I ask. Has he been moving away form Da Ork Angelz Kodex culurz?
I take it that it was due to diversify the colours...anyway, like where it is going. We'll get a game in soon enough

Imp. Monkey

2011 seems off to a promising start. Nice work!

Thanks guys.

@Imperial Monkey: The colour of the Big Mek's weapon hasn't been changed or worked on since the last time this was discussed I think I was going to see how things progressed elsewhere before making a final decision. I think the choices were black or green - though I could possibly do bone. Red was out simply because there is already a lot of red on the model...

Is that the first we've seen of the twin trukk, or has my senility got the better of me there?

All looking fine anyway

Bone would stand out nicely on the meks weapon.

Oh sweet tease, just the bare necked driver and an engine. Did you melt his arms or is that some fancy cut and past job? I can't see any seams. All the tidied up paint looks great too. I hope I can get that good a red when I finally get around to it.

@monkeytroll: Yes, I think that may be the first you have seen of the twin Trukk. I think I may have cleaned up the chassis and put the wheelz together too - but that's not really pic worthy Bone for the Big Mek Burna would stand out nicely wouldn't it?

@The Good Green: Fancy cut and paste job. His right arm is the standard Trukk driver right arm cut at the wrist and rotated. His left arm is an extended AOBR pistol arm with Trukk driver hand. I'm going to need more practise to get these perfect - I think the photo hides the seams... The most important bit is to extend steering mechanism on his right - as there is currently a gap...
