hello everyone!!

so i was thinking of making 3 killa kans with shield and close combat weapons,
and i'll post WIP pics

i was just wondering if this would be a cool idea or something, so please tell me what do you think?

kans are valuable because they shoot better than orks. This combined with lesser armor makes them ill-suited for dedicated close combat roles...

Might still be a fun modelling project though...

yeah, i wasn't planning to put them in my army , it was just for building and converting

i started on one of the shields and on a hammer

i hope you like it

These look really sweet, keep it up

This looks promising. Shield looks a tad large, but I'll reserve judgment until I've seen the kan at full height, with limbs attached (always surprised how small the torso seems on the new models).

i think i wont go with cc weapons, instead, im gonna give the kans a gun and shield... still cool?

Yeah the shield looks way to large. I think it would take a lot away from the model.

im gonna make another one then, i think the size of the body would be good?? or not??

Make up a couple different sized shields and see which you like best. Remember in real life shields come in all sizes, from bucklers that are not much bigger than a persons head, to riot shields that are almost the size of a person.

Try out a couple things and go with what you like. Build the model for you not for the internet.

Meks would simply grab anything conveniently 'sheild-like' that happened to be lying around. I was going to suggest a rhino side door - maybe slightly too large, not sure, but anything a little smaller than that should look good.
