Sorry Vamp, I think I beat you to it. That being said, I'm not sure it's 1 ammo runt max. If so, there are still a ton of grot slots still open and desperate for people.

**Soladrin**

Tankbusta's still need bomb squigs (and tankhamma boyz)

**Anvildude**

And, you know, Boyz...

**Anung Un Rama**

Here's a W.I.P. shot of my Flash Git. It needs some more bitz and GS, but I hereby officially claim the use of the Kommando Nob body in this unit as mine.

**Gutsnagga**

Imma join the burna mob!

Thanks Yakface for organising this! Great idea!
Hopefully I'll post some WIP pictures soon...

**btemple0**

Lookin fer som boyz dat want to join me mob o black sheep.

**Snord**

Might as well join in the WiP show-and-tell. Here is my Dakka Looted Wagon. It doesn't look like much (yet), but the new engine is nearly done. The boomgun is a battle cannon, mounted on the kannon's recoil slide from the Battlewagon.

**plastictrees**

It looks like my Ardboyz entry was skipped several pages ago.

I found out shortly after posting that I'm being let go at the end of October so progress on the Nob may not be as quick as I'd hoped.

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

Gaaah, but a tiny pathetic thing that hangs around and supplies resources to the important people fits me perfectly!

**Yggdrasil**

Hey, btemple, nice skin colour !

@ Tailgunner : Nice kitbash until now, the engine additions looks great, as well as the turret !

**Gutsnagga**

Finally got some WIP pictures of my Burna boy! They're not very good, but they show what I'm up to pretty well.
Here they are:

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

So could Yak (or someone else) use an extra ammo runt? Otherwise, it's Forge World models for me.

Gutsnagga, your pics are indeed a bit blurry... Have you tried taking them from a bit farther, then cropping them to size ? It sometimes help with cameras that have no macro function...

As for the model, I really like the highlights on the Ork flesh, that's how I expect Ork skin to be !

But it seems like you have yet to put the same amount of effort on the rest of the model, am I right ?

Catyrpelius is mustering a Big Gunz - Kannon unit, I guess he'd be all for an ammo runt !

**yakface**

Vampirate of Sartosa wrote:So could Yak (or someone else) use an extra ammo runt? Otherwise, it's Forge World models for me.

Yeah, I've got only 1 Ammo Runt spot and its taken by Ouze already.

However, there are two current spots open for ammo runts:

1) We have a Big Gunz battery (currently only with a Runtherder), and that mob can take ammo runts.

2) The Flash Gitz can take Ammo Runts as well. Some of the people making Flash Gitz have included little ammo runt models as part of their Flash Gitz model, but these don't count towards how many actual ammo runts the mob can have (as ammo runts are supposed to be separate members).

So those are your best options as of right now to be an ammo runt.

**Cerebrium**

I'm not sure if it's kosher for me to just jump into this now, but I'm considering making a deffkopta.

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

Flash Gitz sounds best to me- I'll get on that.

**Snord**

Vampirate of Sartosa wrote:Flash Gitz sounds best to me- I'll get on that.

You'll need to be a DCM.

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

...A flash gitz ammo runt. That is what I was just talking about and responding to.

**Anung Un Rama**

Vampirate of Sartosa wrote:...A flash gitz ammo runt. That is what I was just talking about and responding to.

I could use one

**Cerebrium**

Hm, for making a Deffkopta, would I need to make a deffstorma like WarOne's, or could I make a proper deffkopta?

Yea that would look good, considering your Git looks fantastic! Sheesh.... I should add a couple bases under mine just to look taller next to your Git

**Anung Un Rama**

I'm probably redoing the ammo barrel. I will still use the Grenade Launcher parts, but I might switch out their positions.

Thanks, KC.

For now there is only one Deffkopta mob, so you're supposed to join WarOne's mob Da Deffstormaz.

You could PM him & see how you can join him...

**yakface**

Cerebrium wrote:Hm, for making a Deffkopta, would I need to make a deffstorma like WarOne's, or could I make a proper deffkopta?

If you read WarOne's requirements, a standard Deffkopta model is totally acceptable (as would be something more kooky like his)...we made sure to keep it this way as I think most people would have a hard time replicating something as crazy awesome as what he did!

Sorry, I was rushing to get them up. I can go back when I've got time and do some much better pictures.

And yes, the model is still very much a WIP, the only piece I think is truly finished is the squig arm, but I would like some C&C on what I could do with that too.
I have a lot to go on the rest of the model. Thanks for the complement on the skin though!

The Squig arm is a great piece on it's own, but so far I fail to see the connection to a Burnaboy. He should fit in somehow. Maybe set him on fire or something?

**Da_Viking**

I would like to start the 'Ard Boyz mob

Paint Scheme will be Just lik da rest of dem boyz but needs some extra armor like bitz. (extra armour like shoulder pads with spikes should be included so raid your bitz box for some thing to add on and make your Boy Unique)

I will be claiming one of the special weapons for the mob.

If there is no opposition or previous claims then Da 'Ard Luck Boyz has been started.

Now I just need to buy build base prime and paint a model.

**shrike**

I'd like to either be the nob of the stormboyz, the warbikers, or failing those, one of the nobz mob.
Is there any stormboyz/warbiker nob that hasn't made it to the quote?
If not I'll sign up to one and start modelling.

Well if you read the Waaaagh Dakka article, you'll see that Stormboyz already have a Nob (MeanGreenStompa), as well as the Nobz (DarkStarSabre), the Cybork Nobz (Silver Mk2), and the warbikerz slot have a model by J'santai Khan, though it doesn't say whether he's the Nob or not.

So you should either see with J'santai Khan, for Nob-hood, or start the empty-slot Nobz Biker Mob !

[edit : after cheking his profile, since J'santai Khan isn't a DCM, he most probably isn't the Nob of that mob...]
