Stellar models! I love that knight!

"And worlds burned in his wake"

Brilliant action shots. The knight and murderfang looks great together ("They grow up so fast!").

Amazing actions shots too

EDC

Thanks, guys! Action shots are so much fun to take! Should do it more often.

Love that quote. From anywhere or is it yours? I may have to put that on the model itself.

Started on Cabinet #2. This one is for the Chaos Wolves. Going to try for a ruined city theme.

You can see the the planning drawing below. The whole army entails:
-2 Wolf Lords on Thunderwolves (Giant Mortarchs to separate them from normal Thunderwolves)
-7 Thunderwolves
-2 Iron Priests on Thunderwolves
-8 Cyberwolves
-20 Fenrisian Wolves
-6 Wolfguard Bikers
-Murderfang
-Drop Pod
-Landraider Crusader
-Imperial Knight
-5 Wulfen

Made some progress yesterday and this morning. The bottom shelf will hold the 6 Wolf Guard Bikers and 16 Fenrisian Wolves. Got the TableWar trays and glued in and just finished spackling around everything. Once that dries, I'll add plasticard tiles, bits, and sand.

Of all the lessons learned while making the first cabinet (for the Wild Crusade), perhaps the most important was how much easier it would be to do work on each level by itself. Finish the whole thing before putting up the next shelf.

another one??? AWESOME!!!!

Took a break from the Chaos Wolves cabinet and returned to Orks for a bit. Specifically, started on a Ghazghkull conversion. As a base, I'm using the new Orruk Warboss model from the Age of Sigmar. It's just a sweet looking (and MASSIVE!) model!

Here's the progress shots so far.

Just popped in to see this thread due to the orruk/ghaz conversion in the title. wasn't disappointed! looks rad dude. always thought the standard ghaz was a little bit small

Thanks, STG. Made some progress on him. Even after finishing up all the armor joints and mechanical bits, he still looked a bit short. I wanted this Ghaz model to be GHAZ! A GIANT FREAKING ORK!

Plus, when taken in the Ork-curion detachment, Ghaz can call a Waagh each and every turn so I wanted something to capture that on the model itself. Thus, A GIANT FREAKING WAAGH BANNER! Orks across the entire battlefield become fearless when they see Ghaz charging with his giant banner aflame.

And here he is all primed up and ready for paint.

Looking forward to some paint, looks rad!

Dude!! That is awesome!! Seriously amazing conversion. Cant wait to see him all painted. Great job

Thanks, guys! Planning on fielding the Ghaz ord-decurion detachment which also requires Mad Dok Grotsnik. Worked on him at the same time as Ghaz. He's ready for some paint too!

Gork and Mork are smiling man.
although don't tell the commissar I said that .. Good work!

Thanks, STG.

Also been working on a Battlewagon. The goal is to field a total of 5 of these bad boys for the Blitz Brigade Formation. You've all already seen the first one, which is a Pirate Ship. I plan to keep them all as boat themes to be an Ork Navy Fleet of sorts.
BW# 1- Pirate Ship
BW# 2- Riverboat
BW# 3- Battleship
BW# 4- Aircraft Carrier
BW#5- ????

Ideas for the fifth would be welcome!

Heh heh heh, Ork riverboat. Love it.

It's been a while but I got the Ork Riverboat all primed up. Take a look! It's amazing how a layer of paint can pull it all together. Starting to take shape...

I swear there's a reason I was gone so long! Here's Battlewagon #3, The Battleship. It would have been nice to take WIP shots during the build... I know, I know. My apologies.

Last--and certainly not least--is the first Battlewagon: the Pirate Ship. He's getting close to being done. Need to add a kannon and Ork Boy krew. And of course, paint up the sails with Orky glyphs and whatnot.

Please let me know what you think!

That ship is so full of win! The sales turned out great. The crew is awesome... Great conversion and paint job!

Holy hell! I tuned in for your wulfen and then saw that Ghazghull.... wow. Also love the ship!

Righteous Ghaz conversion + Orky Navy Ft(F'in)w! So much awesome...
Nice to see a miniature that does the prophet of da friggin' Waaaaaagh! some justice.

good lord...these are..breathtaking to say the least :O

Thanks, guys! I really appreciate all the great feedback!

Here are all three together. Two more to go!

This is mindblowing! Love the conversion work and the paintjob is absolutely stellar!

Have you come up with any ideas for the 5th one yet? I think an all terrain submarine would be pretty cool! maybe with a big drill like a termite so it can stay submerged in land too

Honestly one of the best converters I have ever seen everything is done so cleanly and beautifully

This is truly exceptional work, all throughout this thread.
Perhaps the fifth ship could be an Ork submarine like structure? Maybe with a drill on the front instead though, and tracks layering the whole bottom?

Darn fine conversion work. I love how they're clearly still battle wagons, but you've customized them so much that they've become wholly unique builds. More pics, please!

Thanks, guys! You're both on to something there with the Ork Submarine idea.... LET'S DO IT!

I'm on it, Cleatus. In fact, I think some army shots are long overdue. I'll try to pull everything out this weekend to take some "State of the Army" shots.
