Love him! He really looks like he's putitng his waight behind the swing now! I agree that the handle could use some thickening or adding to; maybe you cna ge thold of the axe arm from the bike rnob? He has a pretty massive axe, the handle might fit?

It's when compared to a regul rboy that you can fullly appreciate his size I feel; this is going to be one massive beast! Exhasut, the big shoota, a banner, a scenic base,... will all make him stand out even more from the crowd. For Dark Angel bitz, you could add wings to the top of his armour?

You could mount him up on something... rock outcrop, remnant of something he just destroyed, etc. Would make him look more heroic and/or intimidating.

That *is* the biker Nob axe! (back of hammer and lower handle)

I hadn't considered the exhaust until I did the comparison with my Meganob... There will be wingz on his helmet - but this will be carried by one of his Grot wounds markers/bearers. It's possible I can add more (a la the Stormboyz Nobz)

I have some Marine tank parts I was thinking about using...

I have this mental image of him standing on a partial wreck, the top of which looks like it's just been flattened by an impossibly huge hammer...

Could he be hauling a marine out of a tank, because that would look amazing!
And If you want I would contribute the marine...

Looking good, there's definitely a sense of movement to him now

Also think it would be worth adding fingers to the fist, the box doesn't look right holding the 'ammer.

Battle Report!
Orks vs Guard, 1 of 3, 1000pts, pics

Some action shots of Gitsplitta's Stormboyz Nob (masquerading as a Boyz Nob)

Ah that hammer sigh it's going to squash a lot of rats in the future I can sense it!

and your speech reminds me of this

"This is my rocket launcher. There are many like it, but this one is mine"
"Dis be ma Powa 'Ammer. Dere be mobz of em, but dis one be mine"

Just saw the Dreadknight - thinking my hammer is too small?

This is why you need to upgrade it to a tankhammer... you know... a hammer made out of a tank.

May I suggest a baneblade?

Should wait and make Morgrim out of the dread knight I know I'm going too well not Morgrim but something.

Though it's a bit Avatar/Matrix riggish isn't it?

You have just given me the idea I needed for my dioramic base!

Why would he be hauling a Marine? I still like my shield idea better

I guess I'll have to then!

One can only hope...

You sir go too far! It *would* look very comical though - but my Orks are supposed to be serious! (Deadly serious that is )

Santobell wrote:Should wait and make Morgrim out of the dread knight I know I'm going too well not Morgrim but something.

It was an idea - but I already had the Ghazghkull model, and, well, I'm really liking how he is turning out!

Enough babble - more pics!

Morgrim, WIP (counts as Mega-armoured Warboss with Twin linked Shootas)

I've also shortened and thickened the hammer handle - this was before I saw the Dreadknight

Morgrim, WIP (counts as Ghazghkull with Big Shoota)


Exchangeable, of course. Oh and side pics for those that requested it. Don't say I don't listen!

Click through for extremely large images...

The dreadknight might be a bit big, its on one of the oval trygon/flyer bases. Maybe like a mega deff dread?

I like him, but the shoota is too small . The handle looks a lot better like this!

The Twin Linked Shootas or the Big Shoota? The Big Shoota is "regulation" size but can come across as a bit weedy. Still - I don't want to draw excess attention away from the hammer (and later, shield) - so I don't have a problem with it at the moment. Plus - he rarely uses it anyway...

He would be hauling a marine out of a tank because hitting it with the hammer would be more messy and mess=orky fun!

As for the Grey knights stuff:
Dear GW,
Please go and bloody slow down with the releases! We mortals can't keep up!
sincerely.

to me the dread knight just looks a little ott, even more so than normal...

Looks awesome, Arakasi!
Im still wishing Id of seen this before painting up my Megaboss. All he got was a new head, chestplate, and bosspole. Id of done something totally different after seein this!! Alas... suppose it wasnt to be.

But I thought Gazzy came with a TL big shoota?


and RE: Dreadknight... imho, silly looking.

Both I agree they're both regular size, but regular size bit on a ghaz sized body means the bits look small. Still, since it' s more of a cosmetic addition on a warboss, it doesn't have to be huge, of course. The shield, on the other hand...

Ramos Asura wrote:But I thought Gazzy came with a TL big shoota?

You know, I thought so too. But then I thought, why can he take an ammo runt? So I checked - and he does just have a single Big Shoota. I'm sure in 3rd Ed it was twin linked. The model has two barrels. But the rules just say singular. Go figure. BTW - you can always do a second Megaboss

I wouldn't want the twin linked Shootas any bigger. I am considering swapping the Big Shoota for one of the FW ones now (the multiple barrels rotating one). Don't worry - the shield will be suitably proportioned to balance the hammer

Okay - enough with the Dreadknight. I brought it up because I saw its huge hammer. There is no danger of me switching to Grey Knights - I've just put in a large bits order in order to continue with Morgrim. In the meantime, I got started on his retinue...

Very WIP - the beginnings of Meganob - Codename: War Machine


I'm going to build up the Mega-armour on the arms myself. (I think I'll keep the Mega-armour arms for some future Nobz...) You have to imagine (for the moment) that he is sporting wrist mounted Shootas...

D:

WTH!?
Wow.... I totally thought it was a TL BS.... Its even MODELED that way! Geez....
Shoot, well that makes running him have even less of a point to me >< (not too much, mind you, but stilll.... ONE big shoota?!)

And yeah, I know I can do a second Megaboss... Can always do second models.
Its just I have no money for it
Looks like I have another thing to put on my shopping list (eventually).... I like playing apocalypse, right XD


I really like that Mega. Definitely gonna hack apart mine (still unbuilt, Huzzah!) and do somethin with them like you have!

Looking good. Scratch built mega-armour on the arms is very exciting! I love how Morgrim is turning out. The gun options are cool. One thing about the hammer though, it's not quite aligned. The two halves that is.

Pulling an SB job on this latest megaboy should be interesting. And as for the whole TL thing with Ghazkhull- I don't know of too many BS 3 orks; do you? He's a bad shot and needs the extra bullet output to compensate for his lack of accuracy.

Wris -mounted shootas sound fun. I assume he'll just be sprayin' and prayin' in best orky fashion?

Cool - remember to show us all!

Good eye! Not sure how it happened exactly - not that removing Deffkopta engines is an exact science - but I was aware of it - I'll be evening it out later...

But it's *not* twin linked ...

Is there any other way?

Avoided cleaning up Codename: War Machine and instead started on Codename: Predator. Should be... interesting... Pic(s) tomorrow - but very early days yet. I have some Terminator bits on the way, which I may wait for before starting 3 and 4... Should probably try to get some painting done next week too...

Dats dead killy

Beautiful work so far, keep it up!

Well yeah... He needs the extra gun to even count as a regular shoota due to his low aiming capabilities...
It would take at least a good 3 or 4 shootas before he got TL

@joshoftheforest, NoBaconz4You: Thanks! And I'll do my best!

@Lord Kaesar II: I think I misunderstood you - I thought we were comparing twin-linked big shoota to big shoota, not big shoota to twin-linked shoota... nevermind...

Right. One sole, lonely pic before next week...


This is Codename: Predator. You will have to imagine him at this point with a shoulder mounted (right side) shoota, underslung shoota (counts as twin-linked) or rokkit (counts as kombi rokkit) or skorcha (counts as kombi skorcha) (left side arm), Predator "Klaws" on both fists, mega-armour on the arms and fists, and dreads - don't forget the dreads! Did I mention he is very early WIP?

I was originally going to do only one "Klaw" - and was having issues thinking where to put the second part of his shoota... Then I had the idea for a lightning "klawz" pose - 2 grotz, one stone! I think the pose will work - but I can't help wondering if I would be worth going the extra mile and trying to do the "classic" twin lightning claw pose - you know - like the Space Hulk Terminator. This is close-ish... but it's not *it*.

Suggestions welcome as always.

With Terminator bitz on the way - the other two are looking like being:
1) thunder hammer, shield, "cyclone missile launcher"-ish - shoulder mounted shootas (one each side), one replaceable with a rokkit.
2) open to suggestion - I had a list somewhere around here.... I think I had the cyclone and thunderhammer/stormshield ones separate before...

Dreadlocks should add some character . If you want to go classic lc pose, I'd suggest repositioning the head a bit. Other then that, it looks promising - I can see the potential of the model!

Think the pose is close enough to get the idea across considering there'll be an 'underslung' weapon going in there, which might not look so cool in an arms-wide-come-and-get-it stylee.

Have you thought out the scratch-built armour for arms yet?
