Hi!
I have had an idea of posting some pictures of ork conventions I have build over the last ten years, and now I got to it!

I will start with the eighteen Smasha guns that I built.

I will soon be back with more photos!

Some nicely converted Grot artillery there Nora.

Cheers,

CB

Very nice, good job

Thanks for comments!
Next up are three Weirdboyz. For these models I used the thrower and catcher from the Orc Blood Bowl team since I like their open-arm-pose.

Time fore some vehicles. Below is one big trakk and one trukk

I love the weirdboys, I made mine from the same thrower!

Thanks Afrodactyl
Next is two Shock Attack Gun.

Today I will show some looted land raider battlewagon convention.

Really great Orks, all properly converted as they should be!

I especially like the smasha gunz and weirdboyz. So much variety but also consistent enough to go together, not an easy feat.

@The Riddle of Steel; thanks for comment.
This time I show one boss I converted out of the larger fantasy boss.

EXALTED!

Your conversion work is very imaginative and done with a great amount of skill and craftsmanship. And your painting is excellent too. It really gives the whole lot a muted and realistic tone. Really excellent work all round.

My favourite is the wierdboy with the energy blast coming from his hand. Really cool mini. I also like the rhino horn on the shock attack gun guy. Lots of character.

@theCrowe Thank you for you comments!
Next up is my two Boss on bike

Next I what to show my Savege boyz

A lovely thread, these orks have a certain old school feel about them (said by one who started Orks in 2005 inspired by WD all-converted armies) - the obligatory Land raider battlewagon, and creative use of bits from other armies rather than kitbashing modern ork plastics only.
Not like kitbashing is bad, either, using BB orcs as Weirdboys is a nice idea - they have suitable 'spell flinging' poses with open palms, and they do stand out from the ranks of normal boys a lot! Also, nice work on the big guns. Not a fan of claw gun concept myself but the whole variety of chassis is great!
I alos like the combo of green and orange/ochre, not the most common paint scheme but it works.

I love the idea of using the Blood Bowl boys for weirdboyz! Excellent conversions.

I love this thread so far. The conversions are amazing and the painting / colour scheme is fantastic. I love that there's a theme to everything while still keeping that feeling of Ork mayhem!

As a new, first-time Ork collector this is really inspiring! Can't wait to see more

What a lovely Thread! Like most here, I really dig the Weridboy conversions! Such a great idea and equaly great execution!

Hi! Tank you for comments! I like citbashing from different fraction for my ork conventions. I used to scan e-bay for sheep auction bits, but that was some years ago. I got the feeling that there is not as much such auction left anymore.
Then I work with my bigger model conventions, such as the Mek Gunz, one of the tools that I use the most is the glue gun together with soldering iron and I can very much recommend this if you have not tried it. It is very forgiving in the sense that the pieces that you what to put together does not have to fit particularly well. It is also easy to make casting out of it. For example half of the smasha gun's barrels are glue gun made castings as well as some wheels and all bases. I use the soldering iron to prevent the glue to solidify to fast.
Today I will show you one Dakkajet there I made the wings form a sprue frame.

I like the Dakka Jet, I was think those aren't normal wings.

I also like your muted color scheme, it screams of dust and welds and combat repairs.

Small post today with two mini Mek

Have not posted anything for a few days, but here comes some pictures of my warbikers.

Love the different parts used on the front for customisation.

You've done amazing work on... all of them, really. That's just an astonishing horde of bikers on its own, and with the custom work they really stand out!

Thanks for comments. I like to do many models in the same time then I make the ork conversions such as the Bikers and the Mek Guns. I have an even larger project that I what to show, but I will wait with that for now.
Today I will post my Stompa. Not so much conversions exempt some small parts, but I what to show it anyway.

Real mice army man, its got a really good cohesion to it. Love the work on the vehicles, and the detail on all the bikes! wow.

today I will show my other Mek Guns.

Mega stuff, like the use of hydra bits.

Really snazzy guns! The blue bits add a nice touch of color

Really cool and inspiring stuff!

I especially like the land raiders. They look properly orky for my tastes: grimdark and rugged with a hint of goofiness.
