just bought AoBR a month ago and just got the time to play with them!!

being a cheapskate I decided to try and convert some boyz to nobz to lead the mob!!
I'm new at this so don't be surprised about the quality of my work.

1st Nob


close up


2nd nob


power pizza kutter!!


konsept art for my boss' warbike


progress!!


and so far here she is!!






the mold lines haven't been thoroughly removed coz i got lazy. and most of the stuff isn't final yet, except for the bike.

C&C please!!

Looks good so far. I like the power weapon on the second nob. It looks to have lots of killin' potential.

DONT WORRY MAN, ITS ALL LOOKING GOOD

Good progress so far. Interesting choice of warboss though.....

What exactly are you using for your building material?

@Inyoka: he's just a model, like in car show n stuff!! or if he kills the warboss then he'll be the new warboss!!

@Ifurita: since I cant find plasticard here I'm using those key cards from hotels. coz i gotz lotz of 'em!!

Very nice, and I belive its your first try. Which is impressive.

Keep on the good work!

ok started work with the rear wheel! and I just ran out of glue. gonna buy some later when this rain stops.





the pics are a bit blurry. dang camera won't cooperate today. oh well...

alright finally done with the rear end!!







i know the exhaust looks like hell, but their orks (lame excuse) and these are warbikes!!

just have to figure out how to do the front wheels coz I lost the other big lego wheel.

what do you think the two small lego wheels glued together? or cut them both and glue em to make 1 big wheel?

work has been kinda slow. Im starting to get bored with it. So all I managed today was the front wheel, coz I just started scratch building a rhino for the SM.







the handle bars arent glued yet, still thinking about how to do the wheels.

don't worry by tonight I'll have the bike done, and start on the weapons.

cheers!

nice work indeed

i really like it but i think that front wheel is WAY to small. other then that nice job so far man!

Alright here you go!! BIG wheels but it's not final yet, just wanted to let you see how it goes.

but somethings bugging me though, it feels too humie like. dont you agree?







i don't really like the looks of it being below the engine, maybe i'll just bend it a bit to make it like those low rider bikes.

like this one

i think that the nobs are too small... try ro cut them in middle and glue plasticard in between and under the foots.

other than that i think it is really cool, not really my style but hey, it's just my oppinion.

keep it up.

slow pace, coz I got busy with other stuff.

no work on the bike yet, but I did manage to make this. My first ever sculpt!!

it's an alien animal skull thing. don't be surprised coz its sucky!!







im planning on putting this on the front part on top of the headlights.

road kill deco!!!

well as far as the too humie feel, you can add like 4 more exhaust pipes sticking out at random spots, and you could make the "jaws" on the front of the bike a little wider. but i do like the bigger tire on the front nice work so far

Definately angle the forks more, like the lowrider bike. Also, the part where the forks meet the handlebars (sorry, I don't know the term) is really big, which is offsetting the front wheel and making it look really weedy. I think the cowl on the front wheel is too big as well, which also makes that tire look too small.

You are sculpting, maybe add some weld lines to it? That would definately help Orkify things. Cut some of those hotel keys at odd angles, and make them look like teeth. Then...glue them to the bike so they look like teeth/little armor plates/spikey bits.

The rest of the bike looks great, and I am impressed Sort out the front end and this will make a great warbike. Don't be afraid to start over, it usually makes the model better. And shave your mustache.

thanks for the info, will get to work on it ASAP.

PS I already shaved, that pic is from last year!!

Finally got the time to build and post after a long time, real life has been crazy lately. But anyway, I decided to build a couple of objective markers. Still need more more work and paint, and 2 more objectives.

Here's the first one, it's an ammo dump. notice the Shoota lying around there.


a couple of barrels as a fuel dump. still thinking of adding something on top of the barrels. any ideas?


a power generator, or if you put it on a BW you could use as a KFF.


the back side of the generator.


and the dice roller!

dice roller rocks man

wow im speechless, you have talent for using those materials.

your first sculpt is great too...

Lego wheel too small though.

yea Im impressed with the progress your scratch building skills have come. Those markers and generator look awesome, cant wait for paint. And the dice roller is friggin cool. The table I normally play on gives us trouble as far as space to roll, I think I should build me one of those

Where in the Philippines do you play?

thanx for the support guyz!!

@Luna: i'm still looking for some bigger wheels, coz my younger brother got mad when he discovered I used his lego!! (although technically it was mine till i......grew uP?)=)

@king: even though I only played one game, it really is annoying to find a space to roll the dice. plus this could be my center piece terrain, and the base is 12"x12" so if I ever want to make a CoD board this one's good to go!!

@enmitee: I play here in Cebu, although there's just 2 of us who play. and we still haven't painted our armies yet. Heck it's not even a decent army!!

Here are some updates while i was waiting for the glue to dry!







do you think the can would look good there? and the dice roller is it ok there or should it be placed on the middle? coz I wanted a building with a bigger space on the side so I can place some troops there.

If you put models in the space where the dice are shooting out, you risk damaging the models...

Good work on the scratch builds though! I'd say that the can should only stay there if you can make it look less like a can!

Im thinking he just put the SM there to show a good size comparison. Really tho I think im going to make me a dice rolla lol

Not bad. I liked the cereal box barrels the best I think. Keep up the good work.

been a slow progress today, too tired from school related activities.

sorry though no pics. my mom had to use the cam.

all i did was cover the beady foam with plaster to give it that concrete feel. and still haven't bought paint (damned stores keep running out of black paints. hopefully tomorrow will be different.

@Inyoka: don't worry the Sv 3+ of the SM will keep him from getting hurt from the dice!!

@king: post some WIPs as soon as you get started!!

and thanks for the comment rabbit hole!!

Finally got hold of the camera again. although progress has been slow due to some real life stuff.

all I need now is to continue plastering the cracks and stuff so that it would look more concrete like.

don't worry about that big pile of crap lying around, I will paint it and cover it with glue so that the glue will form a flat transparent surface giving the underwater effect. (HOPEFULLY)









still has a lot to go, but I managed to prime the pipes coz I just wanted to test out the spray.

and I have decided to leave out the can.......for now.....

Dice roller = Probably the most win I have eer seen in one thing

I like the dice roller idea, first time I've seen it.

hey guyz!! real life got to me again, and so my dice roller had to be put on hold. But I've managed to make a 2nd wartrukk now.

the one on the left is the new trukk.








do you think I need to raise up the height of the new trukk? coz my first one is taller?

C&C please?

I don't know how you make those things, but you've got real scratchbuild skills! Better than my nunchuck skills.

I think the height of it is fine!

That's some serious win right there.

nice, I like the powered pizza cutter!
Looks ready to chew 'umies.
VH

The height dont matter that much (unless you want to go for the orky HUGE style)

thanks for all the comments!!

I was just curious if the height was right, coz I haven't seen a GW trukk in real life. And I thought it lacked the height.

but now it's all cleared up, next up is the armor and rivets.

P.S.

don't be surprised if there's no frequent update. been busy with school lately, but I'll still try to sneak in a little time to finish my projects.

Alright the moment of truth has come! I am now going to paint a figure!!

Now before I go on I would like to know your opinions and suggestions if I could improve it somehow.

BTW they are still basecoats.

Washes.

Thanx Mcfly!

I'll put washes once I've gotten all the members of the squad painted.

good scratch building skills, you can paint... DICE ROLLAS!!!! my god youve got..... IT!
yea wash them puppies and they are going to look awesome.
On the new trukk, only thing to me, is the cab looks WAY to wide. It doesnt have to be as wide as the back part. other then that looking good

Wow. Do you have some special technic not to make the cardboard warp?

Your trucks are fantastic. So is the dicerolla.

Great work. If you're new to this, you're going to make an amazing vet.

And although washes will help with da Orks, you might want to highlight first. Try it on a test fig- one shade lighter for highlights, then wash to tie it all together. Otherwise they will probably turn out too dark overall.

Great work, keep it up!

Here they are! My first mob. Coz they're going into the trukks. Now I still have to do a bit of orange to the rust part and white red and black for tattoos. But basically they're done. But the base isn't painted yet coz I wanted to make sure if I'm still going for the dessert look or maybe something else.







that's it so far. Up next will be my 'Ard boyz. Now try to guess what they look like now that you've seen the first ten boyz from AoBR.

oh and C&C are welcome!

They look great, especially for your first squad! Are those the first GW models that you've painted? If so, very well done!

I reckon the main thing is to get them all looking uniform, don't worry too much about details cos they consume time. Get all your boys painted first, then give some extra special attention to your leaders and characters!

Keep up the good scratchbuilds!! PS how do you get your cardboard to not warp?

Wow. Ace terrain. The pizza cutta nob is exquisite. Great job!

OMG loving the idea of that dice rolla that is genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love your work

KingCracker: Thanks for the kind words!! I don't know why I widened it, but I cant take it apart anymore coz it's primed already. Plus it doesn't really matter though if I get owned with my big wide trukks as long as they look bad ass, or weird enough to be orky!!

Paul Atreides AND s.j.mccartney: I don't have any special technique. I just make sure that the cardboard edges are glued to a sturdy piece. Take the 2nd trukk. the roof is from card board. But the sides are made of faombaord. So the edges are the only ones getting glued. (hope this makes sense).

Savnock: I hope I become a vet. Coz my life seems to get busier.

fat and sam thanks!!!

Can anyone tell me what color to use for my desert bases? please I really need to know.

thanks!!

if your unable to use citadel paints, a simple dark brown for a base coat, followed by a lighter or beige brown highlight.

Yes it does make sense. Thank you.

Thanks enmitee! can't wait to get them done! although I just experimented with one of the boys, and I found out it's a paint to highlight (paint) the base when the figure is all done.

glad I could help Paul!

Hi guyz!! Been busy with life. I just managed to paint the pipe of the dice roller. Been doing some thinking about kustamizin me boyz, and I'll do some work tomorrow.

In the mean time enjoy these pics.







I know I botched up at the tip and at the bottom, but no worries they'll be inserted in the holes so they won't be seen.

Too bad I can't do the same for my paint job =)!!

Here's more pics of how the thing is looking now.

just added bitz and pieces from whatever stuff I could find.

Hey guys I need your opinion on this.

does the big fan add on look to big to you? or is it just right?





and do you spot anything that could be done to improve this piece?

also I'm looking for a way to somehow paint goo like pattern on the pool thing.

thanx!!

Hey guyz been a while...

Finally got around to painting the 2nd squad. With a help from my slave.... I mean friend!!

d slave at work!!








he's still new to painting so he got the chance to mess around with my stuff.

Here's a WIP of my Boss turned into a big mek. It's not final yet, but just liked to show it to you guyz so you can critique it before I start with the arms.

Man this thread is a perfect example of how awesome DakkaDakka is for the image hosting.

SUCH A COOL ARMY AND TERRAIN

Brain overwhelmed by da koolness intensity. So many things to say. The dice roller is simply genius, really fantastic idea and build. Your vehicles look fantastic, but I don't think I saw any pics of the painted thing. Maybe I missed it because my eyes fell out after seeing your finished terrain and dice roller. The toxic waste pipe is really convincing. For some reason most of this stuff reminds me of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, and the Road warrior series.

I hope to see more of your super class stuff

I like the fat nob!!

I really like the creative use of materials you have going on. When I see talent alone making results like this I really look forward to what you'll be able to do in a year or two once you have skills/experience to go along with the talent.

And on the paint, the only tip I can make from the pics, is to do a bit of edge wear on the red plates. They look too new Some boltgun or mith silver with a wash and light dose of the rust coloirng you did on the other metal might add that lil extra bit of depth to them.

Full of W1N. I was just admiring your Corrosive Pipe. You have mad skills, my friend. Thanks for sharing your pics.

Hey - that's a great idea for a big Mek and force field generator!

I love the idea...

Shoot everything is looking great man. You are going to have one bad ass Ork clan when your finished. Also Im thinking about taking some of your ideas on that KFF for a generator for my thraka counts as. Nice work

Holy hell!

your build-fu is strong!

for a first timer you're actually quite talented

good work buddy (thumbsup)

Thanks for all your kind words!! anyway I managed to make his arm. I've already done the right arm but I left it at the shop, will get it tomorrow.

Anyway here's the link of the guy I stole the idea for the big mek from: http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=40119#entry545525







Since I don't have access to Pcard or Prod I just used a cotton swab and toothpicks, and they ended up so big. It now has robo gorilla arms!!

Awesome-sauce man. That is impressive.

I have finally started painting the Big Mek. It still needs the rust, and does anyone know how to paint the glass effect for the goggles?








C&C are welcome!

It actually looks pretty good. Can you take a picture of the side of the arms? You might want to dry brush some rust or do a wash on it tho, the metal is a bit bright

OMG you are amazing you couldn't of just started orks!!!

Here's the pic KingCracker!!







It's all done. Just the coat of lacquer.

This deserves 10 thumbs and a hand grenade (my highest award )



Nice work, HE CAN SEEEEEE YOU!!!

Yeah your ork-work is really amazing. I'm playing tau, but perhaps I'll start a second ork army. You've inspired me a lot thanks!

(Y)

WoW that stuf is good love the refinery thing and the Mek is really good and the Battle For Macrage force field put on the Worboss for the teleporter that's a very good Idea keep it up I really want to see the final product for the refinery thing when it's painted and all.

I just looked through this whole thread and I must say you are doing some pretty amazing stuff. Keep up the good work.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the kind words!!

Sorry for the long delay, the 1st trukk and the deff dread are in the shop so there are no pics.

Any way, I'm almost through with this one. All it needs are a few details in the front, the wiring on the engine and the big shoota.







Any suggestions before I get tired of making this and just call it done?

WOW. Your Orky ness is very cool man. Very cool indeed.

I like the use of sprue in the engine, have you thought about putting a big shoota on the roof of the cab, then cutting a hole in the roof and having a boy sticking out.

Thanks KingCracker!!

@cougar: here's the gun, but I don't intend to put any ork up there. I like the look of a big shoota just hanging there.

This trukk is almost done, I just need to add rivets and make the Ram thingy.









Here's the first trukk that I ever finished.









And the Deff Dread, I still need to buy the paint for the base but yeah this one is done.







Well, that's it for now. As always your comments are much appreciated!!

Cheers!

Your Orks are the gak.
Im still blown away at your improvement of skills from the beginning of this thread to now.

Nice! One question:
Why is the dread so far back on the base? Balance?

Keep it up

very impressive!
Amazing talent

Deff Dread for the WIIIIIIIINNNNNN!!!!

tblock1984 wrote:Nice! One question:

Keep it up

I doubt its a balance problem. Thats a plastic dred, and those weigh nothing lol. He prolly just wanted it back there

Thanks for looking everyone.

Yup King is right I just wanted him to look like he's really pulling back before smashing his enemies with the wrecking ball.

Anyway I finished the 2nd trukk but I didn't have the camera at the moment. And I left the Dredd at the shop, maybe tomorrow I can get a pic. I also have a 3rd trukk coming along, but I have been busy with making terrain coz there are now a lot of players in our group (YAY!!!).

And as the unofficial terrain maker I had to come up with some; and here they are:








Tank Repair Depot


the tanks being repaired at the depot (BTW they are all made of paper)


the ruined robot arm at the depot.

Thanks for looking!! And as usual C&C please!!

TY!!

I also usually look at packaging material for quick bunkers and the like. Usually works rather well. I didnt however, think of an empty aerosol can like that. Totally stealing this idea. Normally I use empty sample shampoo bottles and the like. That way they arnt humongous.
And congrats on your group getting bigger. Thats always a plus

Heres a quick question, if the big mek lost both of his arms how did he construct new ones for himself?

great job though

ChaosismyAntidrug wrote:Heres a quick question, if the big mek lost both of his arms how did he construct new ones for himself?

Thats easy man, his grots. Its a little known fact that docs and meks, actually "teach" some of their skill to their grots. Infact, the infamous Mad Doc Grotsnik, was completely put back together by his grots after a bunch of nobz ripped him to pieces.
That and Im sure one of the normal meks helped at least.

After a putting this project of coz I hit a mental block, I finally managed to put it together to show it to you guys.

A lot of Humvee trukks have been made thanks to SWAMPY at the-waaagh forums, and here's my take on it.









Sorry for the fuzzy pics, I managed to forget how to operate my camera and the lamp was too near the model.

Anyway your C&C are welcome as usual!!

Cheers

I'm just getting into Orks as well, and I find your work very inspirational.

Is there a pattern somewhere for those paper tanks? I have a little more chance to work in paper than buy plastic.

People like you and Roleplayer make me sick.

People with that much raw talent that you beat everything I have attempted over the last three years, after having just started.

Very good job on everything!

Thanks Chugosh, the template for the tanks can be found at bwc-archive, it's a yahoo group so you have to join first.

the humvee template can be found here:
http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=38912

is that a burna boy at the side?

Thank you for taking the time to post your work. It's excellent stuff and very inspiring. I'm particularly fond of the "Before" and "After" pics because they give me a better idea of how you did things, as well as helping me look at trash in a new way

Thanks for sigging me! Im glad some people on DAKKA find me funny

ChaosismyAntidrug wrote:Heres a quick question, if the big mek lost both of his arms how did he construct new ones for himself

Easy. Each arm built the other arm and attached themselves to the mek. Dont ask such stupid questions.

Your ork stuff is absolutely amazing. You sir are a god of scratch building.

And you sir, dont have to be an asshat.

Well said kingcracker!!

@crazygit: that's a regular ork boy turned into a burna. so the answer is yes.... I guess?

Ok here's the Trukk, I still have to finish the gunner and add some weathering to it. I just got tired from painting coz I had to teach my friend how to paint his Plague Bearers.

Anyway here it is:









thanks everyone, if I was a normal human being I would have been filled with a warm fuzzy feeling by now.

Cheers!!

nice humvee (aka. trukk). it turned out pretty good

Humvees look like Ork trukks, Special forces get plasma cutters for "surgical" use, we can make Ion cannons from satellites, we already have working power armor.... Im telling you guys, the 40k cosplay is going to be real soon enough

I have to admit, I'm really feeling it now that you've got more painted versions up. WAAGGHHH! Konvert on, Battle Brother!

KingCracker wrote:Humvees look like Ork trukks, Special forces get plasma cutters for "surgical" use, we can make Ion cannons from satellites, we already have working power armor.... Im telling you guys, the 40k cosplay is going to be real soon enough

is there working space marines and ork fungi too?

Can I get some of that ork fungi and inject it on myself so I will become a freaky humanork hybrid?

OF COURSE.....er... well that Im not sure. But Id love to be an Ork as well. Man that would be just awesome eh?

yeh! HAIL DA ORKS! WAAAAAAGH!!!!


wait a minute. why are we talking about being orks then this thread is about yer converting?

big mek crazygit wrote:yeh! HAIL DA ORKS! WAAAAAAGH!!!!


wait a minute. why are we talking about being orks then this thread is about yer converting?

coz we are trying to convert ourselves into Orkses!!!

WAAAGH!!!

good point

It is done!!









Yes the gunner comes off, he's a slip on!!!

Very clever with the slip on gunner. That will come in handy. Nice work as always!

Dude that is awesome

im finding da powa klaw on dat der numbah one nob to be very very killy

you know, i would never of guessed that the humvee wasnt made of card.......

awsome models! i have resisted orks for too long. but theyre just so damn cool!

must resist until ive completed of tyranids and imperial guardsmen though

Hey guys it's been a while! Real life got in the way! haha

Anyway I finally got my hands on a BW, and the cheapskate in me couldn't resist making 1 BW into 2!









sorry for the bad pics, my camera is busted so I had to settle for pics taken when we were playing. And I would like to apologize that there are no WIP coz we'll my cam was busted!

CHEERS!

I love that/ those battle wagon(s)

very impressive i like the stuff

I finally got started on my warbikes... I only need six, and since I only have 3 bikes I chopped up some deff koptas! I haven't assembled the regular bikes yet.

Warboss:






Nob with Waagh Banner





Nob with Boss Pole





Regular Nob





I just need to put sand on the base for the Nobz.. the warboss though, seems to be missing something but I kind put my finger on it...

Hmmm the warboss on bike you say he's missing something maybe add more gubbins or a second gun/cannon/shoota to the weapon outrigga? the tau tech is cool but needs some orkifying? also some sort of bosspole and or backup weapon would be nice for those instances when he wants to get off the bike an d shoot things up close and personal like? oh and a seat to lean back on/ maybe some bigger loader exhausts

Scratch built DP. WIP in blog.

@steve: thanks, I'm still trying to figure out how to add new exhaust coz the drill I use isn't mine and its not with me right now. I'll probably work on the guns then.

@peter: thats a pretty sweet model due! if only I had a huge amount of bitz!

Hey guys been busy with life. Any who I managed to start painting the bikes but ran out of black spray paint!

Here are the finished products:

















Cheers!

The rest of the gang:



THE PAINBOY!




the Big Choppa guy




Power Klaw




and finally the Warboss:


the warboss isn't done yet. but I'm so tired, I'll finish him tomorrow.

Cheers!

awesome work!

Thank you everyone for all your support. My paints got messed up since I was busy with my new work. So while I'm saving up for paints I am making some terrain for our "club".



do you think it's too big?





this is a little mock up while I was bored.



i got this from work... you should have seen the reaction of my workmate while I was rummaging through the trash can.



thats 2 terrain for the price of one! or none since I got it for free! Ok... I'll stop with the lame jokes!

C&C are welcome!
