Hello all, first time posting up anything here as well as a new member so don't be to harsh  , so looking at the new Knights I found that I really wanted one but because no one had any ork ones I decided to build one myself from scratch and I am pleased on how it turned out.

Your conversion work is really solid here. I like what you've done with all of these kits put together. You might want to fill in the gaps on the sides of the battle cannons and take off a few lingering mould lines here and there, but that doesn't detract much from your work.
As for the paint scheme ...wow... that is a lot of red. If you plan on doing martian earth basing, you might want to choose a different primary color for the model, or at least add a fair amount of black, white, and a few other detail colors. As it is now, you lose a lot of the model's depth because of how monochromatic the paint is.
TL;DR - Your conversion is awesome, but the paintjob could use some more variation.

Thanks for the review, Ya the Red is from the evil suns tribe, they paint everything red because Red goes faster lol. But I get what your saying. I might try adding in some other colors here and there and see if I can help make it pop!

Agree that you need more colors in there, but it's a great conversion otherwise. I think it always helps for an ork vehicle to have a grot hanging on here or there.

Agreed, I wish they made some that were just in random positions, Ill add some checkered design here and there to break up the red and post up pictures when done. Thanks for the Review!

Looks like you have had a lot of fun making that!! Very orky but I think it needs some more time on the painting table in places.

I had a blast making it "except for all the glue on my fingers after", I really enjoy the option of creating something new out of scraps and not knowing how it will turn out once done. It was one thing that help me decide to play Orks. Thanks for the Review!

Love the Konvershun.
Orks can use da extra dakka.
Something that fine, I'm sure the mek would take time to add some checkers or dags to, to make it extra tuff looking.

It must be really fast...probably a jump unit.
I really like the claw with the blades. Looks awesome.

I know that the Ogre Kingdoms kits have some Gnoblars hanging off of them (I bought the Scrap Launcher kit, it had like 8). Gnoblars are pretty comparable to Grots, and you can probably find them on ebay.

Ill check them out and see what comes from it youidiotkid thanks! Just finished up my war boss and his nob Guard so ill have them up soon as well. Thanks adamsouza, it was a lot of fun to build, its all from scraps though. There is no pieces of any Knight kits in there. And ya Orks can always use more Dakka. Well red things always go faster Eadartri and thanks, I like how the Power claw came out as well. I had to add on the extensions to a smaller power claw I had, it just felt too small for a Knight especially an Ork knight. You know the saying orks do it bigger because bigger is better!
