That's obviously the hot plate for keeping the pizza hot whilst delivering.

I actually liked the look of the old Bad Moon schemes, but these colours are a better fit with the other vehicles.
As Arakasi said, if you're looking to portray stuff da boyz have looted and quickly swabbed blue to hide the source then you've nailed it, if you want to show koptas that have had care and attention lavished on them (in an orky sense of things ) more layers. I think the white could probably do with another layer regardless, but as the others pointed out, what aren't you liking about them? What look were you wanting?

Arakasi wrote:What are you unhappy about? It may give us some idea of what to suggest...

It looks to me that more coats of thinned paint to block out the colours better is in order - but I'd hate to suggest that if that was the effect you were after!

honestly i am totally unsure of the effect i am aiming for with these. i have kinda done them in the same style as the other ork vehicles but less bright. i Think my main thing is on the 2 with windows i am just unsure about the green, like does it look like window or does it look like green.

oh and when you say "It looks to me that more coats of thinned paint to block out the colours better is in order" you mean washes right like of black and beastril brown?

I agree with Arakasi, knowing what you're unhappy with would help us make suggestions for you.

hmmmm pepperoni lol, well it is a shield from the wahmmer kits and it is the face from the cult of speed. but i am seeing the resembelence to peporoni there so maybe some blue is in order to make it have less meaty snack qualitys.

and i think my main thing is the windows and really the design as a whole. I think it is because i am trying to do an orky scheme on something that is streamlined and at its foundation and not very orky.
that said i am liking the checkers idea you surgested so i will try that out tomorrow.

"i think my main this is the windows and really the design as a whole"

it is really just the design at the moment and the windows. design wise i am sort of thinking they might look a little plain really and i am not sure how i can make them look less plain (i am going to add checkers though and see how that goes) but those are my main gripes.


thanks for the responses

Bigfish I think these guys look great. Very original, just keep doing what you are doing.

I think they are awesome as is, if I had to say something, I would suggest something crazy, like, cut out the windowed tops on the other two and put orks in them as well. The ork that is in the front one just makes the model retty f*n Cool and that addition, though I don't know how you would accomplish it, would sell the other two pretty solidly. Paint job in itself is cool and don't think it needs anything. Really though, they are fine as is, original and perfectly kustom.

You know the only reason why i did'nt do that in the first place is i have run out of ork boy bodys and torsos, so it would have been quite hard to make them. and thanks you for your kind words

oks, so i m feeling a lot better about the deffkopters now as i have made some smll changes and added some paint. pics below



ok so i added the checks on the wings and some other bits and i also added the lighter green streak on the glass. i am rather liking them now really so i would be happy to leave them here and move on to the next unit (lootaz) but if anyone has any surgestions please say them.

Lootaz



5 of them are kustom the the other 2 are pretty much stock, i have really just started to get base colours down with these models and i am going to paint them in a similar way to the other ones i have done.

below are my two fav ones. one is sorta monkeytroll inspired and the other i made a while ago and i like the way he is about to please what will be a big red button.



anyway, thanks for looking and all comments are appreciated

I think the Deffkoptas are definitely looking better!

Arakasi wrote:I think the Deffkoptas are definitely looking better!

so lootaz are preeety much done, so now i have a full unit of 15

The new 7


The whole unit


not sure what i want to do next but i am kinda working towards making a 1500 list so i will decide after write a proper list.

thanks for looking

Im really digging how much character youve put into your army. Keep it up man

Koptas look good with the new checks, and there's nothing like an ork with a beaky bikes front wheel for legs

So recently i have just been waiting and waiting for ebay to set me up with the pieces for my next proper build, its been too long since i modeled some propa metal. anyway untill next time

thanks for reading

Ok so i may have forgotten to mention i was going away (being dragged away) on a camping holiday in dorset (has some epic skate parks as it turns out ) so that is why i have not been posting at all. but the good news is i am coming back soon and my ebay stuff should be waiting for me when i get back home so there shall be new orky stuff coming together (yay).

Although on a serious note, i said i would be entering a ruzzbot into matts super heavie blah blah blah competition right. well for a while now i have really now been feeling the plans i have in my head and on paper and i am really tempted jut to use the bits to make a battle fortress that can be have parts taken away so it can be a counts as battlewagon in smaller games and in apoc a battle fortress with 3 super kannons and a shed load of other gunz. what are peoples thoughts on this?

should i make a ruzz bot or a battle fortress?

Replys would be great as i am quite torn between the two, thanks

oooohhhhh yea, before i left for this trip i started some work on the 19 slugga boyz from the black reach set .

i decided the best way to do them was to have the squad adorned with throphys from defeated enimies. i figured that the orks would be carrying these at all times untill sold so they would'nt be looted from them, but when the boyz charge into battle they would be overcome by the waaarghyness and just drop there scrap and loot to better get into the fight. Therefore this boyz unit is particually customed and i have made 6 tyranid stealas, 6 marine stealas and then 7 that are just theifs in general. The general lootas are inspired by a bit of fluff i remember reading that got me into deathskullz in the first place "deathskullz are theifs without equal, a deathskull could steal your shoe laces from you while you where wearing your shoes, and then strangle you with those laces"

anyway sorry for posting a lot of text, model pictures soon

I don't care either way, but...

BATTLEFORTRESS!!!

That way his whole 'secrecy' thing can go away!

Love those koptaz. They are looking much beeter now.

But I do have to say one thing. Slow the hell dowm.

Your making the rest of us look like a paraplegic potato that just went bungie jumping and the cord broke.

But very nice work.

Battle Fortress. Im not sure I even know what a Ruzzbot is.

Ruzzbot's are basically a tank hull with a mini-stompa/Big ol' Dredd torso stuck on top.

And personally, I'd love to see a Ruzzbot. Used to be a lot more Orky konvertin' stuff around, nice to see this contest re-igniting that Meky spirit.

Well, basically what you need to do is create a battle-fortress using your BW chassis and a leman russ chassis. When you take the parts off to reveal the battle-wagon, some of the bits you've taken off form the ruzz-bot. Problem solved, everyone's a winner

deffkoptas came out pimp with the touch-up paint job, amazing what painting can do. *Looks at unpainted models...sighs*
Anyways, Lootas look cool grouped together, really like the one with the wheel, a freakin wheel, yeah. Something else...
Of course, um, I want to say Battlefortress because that first guys post put it in my head, but the ruzzbot sounds cool, and finally monkeytroll has me sold that I should be safe and suggest you do both.
Ruzzbot if I have to, what does a ruzzbot look like...I could goole it or search dakka...or...wait for you to build it.

Well then...

Matt.Kingsley wrote:I don't care either way, but...

i was thinking the other day that eventually i might have to actually buy more orks to make and paint as i am starting to run low on bits. but hmmm that new marine dread from forgeworld is looking mighty lootable...

ahh but that would take some planning and that borders on "hummie thinkin" and i ain't no blood axe (deathskullz for the win )
but i will think about it, i have and had been playing with that idea for a while and it would be very cool if i could get it to work

+1 battlefortress/ ruzzbot

hmmm is that a +1 russbot then? (i am counting it as that).
really though the only reason i have bee doing a lot of painting is because my scheme is fairly easy and i have the time, so meh. thanks on the lootas front as well.



Quite a lot of feed back there which is always nice to see. so by my count that is

3+ battle fortress and 3+ ruzzbot... ( now i have to decide)

well i am going to look more into planning the ruzzbot battlewagon convert and as well as that start thinking about super kannon lenths and barrel sizes. But unfortunatly after 2 weeks my ebay stuff still has not arrived, which really is quite ridiculas to the point where someone is going to be getting a annoying email, but anyway worst comes to worst i will just go and get it my self ( )

so i have'nt actually said what i am getting from ebay yet have i? (no)
i have bought a landraider that has TBH really badly orkyfied. Although i intend on stripping it down to the basic hull and tracks anyway so that is not really that much of a problem. but yes i am going to use that as the base and then work onto it from there adding kannons and armour and orkys stuffs.

But anyway onto pictures

marine lootaz



scrap steala's



Nid break'as



And that is that. Quite a large update today but i think quite well rounded. anyway's i have also based the deffkopters but i cannot be asked to take the pictures and put them up now because i am shattered from the car jouney back from dorset.

so thanks for reading and commenting on my stuffs, really helps to keep me motivated to do and make more.

bigfish out

+2 battle fortress

Nah, I don't count, I've already had my say

If it helps, I vote ruzzbot just to see how you spin it

Hmmm... Battle Wagon carrying a Ruzzbot = Battle Fortress?

Photos look promising - but I demand better photos so that I can actually tell/bask in your good work!

Matt.Kingsley wrote:+2 battle fortress

lol i am not sure that is exsactly how it goes but that is quite a good idea. i was thinking battlewagon carrying meaga deff dead = ruzzbot but hmmm

and on the picture front i will have to take some when i have painted some colour on them as i can never get enough light on them to show the detail when it is chaos blacked.


oh and i got all the boyz base coated and ready for paint ( including the deffkopters )

booya

reaaally reallly want my landraider to arrive now, i have been arranging pieces for an age now in prep.

anywho see ya later and thanks for reading/ looking

So i finished one of the deffkopters and half done one of the others. i have really started to apprieciate bases more latly
not sure why but they make a difference. Anyway i am going to do the next one in the different shade of blue on all the panneling as i dont want the unit to look to silver.



onto the next one now.

thanks for looking

I like your blend of xenos technology with orkymekness. Its quite believable. I can see the Big Mek now just hammering away at that eldar tech.

thanks.

talking of the deffkopeters, they all fell off a table and scared the out of me. but the good news is that although it looked horrible only one of them was in need of repair



but it is ok i fixed everything apart from the flying base... which broke at the top bit that fits into the hole under the kopta... very annoying. but alas i have'nt had a lot of time for painting of late and it will be a while untill i do as i am starting the next stage of my education and working so not so much will be getting done. sad times for orkses.

Wow, you luckly.
Most models tht size and that delicate (being glued to the stand and all) break alot!

deffkopters looking sweet

I know it's been quite a while since I've had any original flying bases attached, since when I did my Speeders years ago I glued them to the vehicles- not the best move. Still need to make some new flying bits for them, now I think of it

Kaesar II

May your dice fall as luckily as your 'koptas

Matt.Kingsley wrote:Wow, you luckly.

indeed, the deffkopter that did break is actually being a pain in the ars now because the bit that came off just wont stay on and surport the weight of the kopter on it, so i am going to have to super glue it or plastic glue the hell out of it just to get it to stay on. :(

Man those DE koptaz look better and better the more I see them.

Killer conversons on those.

I'm diggin those sickle weapons on your boyz as well.

But you might as well just plan on doing a ruzzbot and a BF.

You know you want to.

thanks and i would love to do both but i do not have the parts for both :( but meh. (not dark eldar btw, normal eldar )


small update



super kannon start and a big zappa start



All my done kopters. i am really really wanting to make another 3 from marine land speeders now , maybe if 3 comealong at a good price in the future i will.
But anyway thanks for checking in.

Some paint goes onto the slugga boyz unit



Right so i started painting the marine loota slugga boyz this morning and came across a slight problem in the fact i dont really know who they should have looted. personally i am a salamaders and raven guard fan from the marines (i actually have 2 full tactical squads from each just sitting on my shelf in their colours) but the green on green i was not too sure on and the black armour i think would just be a bit dull. so i tryed the green and it turned out okish but i would still need to do a few more coats and then i tryed out a purple hawklords like scheme on the other one i did. anyway today was just puting the base colours down mainly but i think the skin is pretty much finishedon these boyz.

so yea anyone have anyfeed back on how i should do the colours and what chapters i should maybe do? also i am not sure if i want to do the whole units boyz all with the same chapters armour or weather i should just have different chapters bits and bobs throughout the unit.

anyway thanks for looking

More Paint! But on trying to decide which SM colors to use try looking here for ideas. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/List_of_Space_Marine_Chapters . I find the multi color scheme are more fun to paint.

I would go with a quartered or halved scheme.

But when you do decide let me know. Gonna be fun to see what you do with them.

This could be fun. Novamarines. Blue and Bone quartered.

novamarines look cool, i checked and i see what you mean about quartered schemes. but i will research into it more.

at first glace though i like the look of Omega Marines and stormlords. but as i said i will look into it more.

so i took these before i went away and before i got the message from schank





and thats how they are today now. good thing is though that on my holiday i came across a squad of ork boyz in a toy shop for £15 so i snapped them up straight away. so be expecting some new boyz at some point.

(weird i had'nt had the kit for ork boyz before ever and considering i have 38+ of them weird )

anyway thanks for checking in

Well you know how orks breed via spores? If you keep a single sprue for long enough in just the right conditions...they'll breed.

Of course, it's very fething tricky to get just the right conditions, and asking how long 'long enough' is, well, that's a bit like asking how much dakka is enough. Otherwise we'd never have to give GW any teef again. But occasionally, you'll find they've spread. A bit like slower breeding tribbles, just greener. And bigger. Generally angrier too. Quite often armed as well. But not all that hairy. Probably not the best comparison

That is friking funny. I might have to copy that to my profile.

But back to Bigfish. I'm liking the use of the SM parts on your boys and what ever that is in the back ground looks awesome.

That would be the Model T Squiggoth, available in any colour you like, so long as it's black.

so yea everyone give me some feedback on these please.

made the new one a pistol packing power house with a ammo pack so he wont have to leave the fight to reload his slugga.

the next one i am making will be a bomb expert and then i want a combat specialist (a combat specialist within orks society... pretty badass ork indeed) cant decide if i want the combat specialist to be the Nob or not but it makes sense in the statline.

almost finished komandos unit (just need 2 more)




bomb expert



da new boyz

combat expert (choppy)



da Nob

AHHHHHHHHHHHH (Gorilla noises)
You MAKE DA BOYZ LOOKZ COOL

just a pleasure to check up on these pics man, got a love tht space marine killa squad and the leaves on the kommandos just makes me look at mine and think...'I haven't even given you fatigues!!!!!!!!Or however its spelled!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Camo)

Combat Specialist is my favorite, looks bad a$$ that guy.
THe Blue/White really helps standout from the green. A good final choice, whilst the blue still fits in with your armys base color scheme as well so 'win'.
Time to go eat my bananas.
(Gorilla returns)
BANANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Like the use of the old jungle trees on the kommandos. Squiggoth looking nice with some colour in his cheeks.

If you've not got a macro function on your camera try taking the individual shots from a little further away, then cropping the image. If that's a little small, maybe two boyz at a time.

Lookin good Bigfish. I like the scenic bases and all the character you are pouring into your army.

thanks man, i did'nt know you did orks
post a pic when you make him


ok so my landraider arrived (woo) and it was covered in really badly done orky-fi-ing. so i stripped all of that crap off and now i have loads of bits with it



ok so i was expecting it to be taller (i have never had a landraider model of this edition before) but w/e its not like i can't just build it up as i go



and these are the bits that came with it

im going to keep the kannon thing for now but i might change it later for somethig bigger and boomyer maybe.

anyway thanks for reading and looking at pictures

and p.s a genius on daka has shown off a awesome way that i might be able to make a trailer for it (LOOTING TIME)

Can't wait to see what you do with that Land raider.
And I do have a small Ork army. I'll post pics when I make that guy.

Nice pile of bonus bits, cannons pretty cool too. Lok forward to seeing where the new LR goes.

Great to see your looted LR coming along nicely.
Keep up the good work!

^ thanks man

some more work done



im planning to divide the space in the platform into three sections and having these so they are detatchable and can be swapped for other wepons so i can have 3 super kannons or 3 big zzappa's or w/e

anyway thanks for looking

Coming along nicely!

Im tellin ya, you are going to have the most original ork army in the world.

Looking good so far. I'm all for replaceable dakka

Great progress, it's starting to look rather nice, keep up the good work! I've also made that Ork that I said I would make using your Ork (the combat expert choppy) as Inspiration. He's in my P & M blog.

Nice stuff! My plog will be updated soon!LOL.

i checked it out, comment is there, are you going to continue your orks or are going to stick with marines or do both? just asking because your scheme for your orks was cool and if you were thinking about making them into a sizeable force i think they need a project blog.

so its that time of the month (day) again where i feel the need to update everyone

battle fortress progress and some thinking



just to prove it is detachable and moveable



still need to ruff up the gun pannels yet just so everyone knows and i also added some more armour here and there just because.

so i have been thinking and looking on the web for other battle fortresses to see what other people have done to make them and well i am feeling mine is a tad small now. i was looking at one today made from 3 landraiders a battle wagon and a baneblade with loads of other stuff all over it as well..... and i was just
so i have decided if anyone ever says anything about my battle fortress being small i shall explain that my orks use it more as a wepons platform and therefor dont need it to be big enough for anything more then carrying and moving the gunz (and of course dakaring the gunz )

so yea anyway comments are always great and advice and oppinions are also good

thanks for dropping in

oh and p.s i was just in the gallery and there is a really awesome stompa that is all upsidedown and stuff..... check it out if you have the time

peace

Nah, not convinced that's detachable, reckon that's all done with mirrors and stuff innit?

There's just one flaw I can pick in your reasoning on the size issue. If it only has to be big enough for the dakka, and we all no there's never enough dakka, surely that would mean there's never enough space

And that sounds like CK's stompa.

You should check out Commissar Khaine's Squeaky Waaagh - http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/266318.page

A full-on grot army spectacular

He's a witch. Thy shalt not suffer and witch to live. Or something like that.

I bet thats where he gets all his conversion ideas. You know being a witch and all.

But great start on the Battle wagon. Coming along nicely.

LOL!PLog updated!

i checked it out and it was cool , and on the battle fortress front i see your point :( i am really trying to find a way i can fit all of the daka i want onto it without making it look over crowded as there is actually never enough space

Slight update



To SCHANK
i based the models i am going to send you, is this going to be a problem? it only occoured to me after i had done it :S sorry if it is a problem. i would like mine to be based by you if that is alright btw.

oh and to everyone else i started painting the tyranid takers mob


daka peeps i would erm like your oppinions on something un ork related.



These are my tyranids, they are/ were my first army and i have had them for a long time. so what do you daka people think of the scheme. Because i am thinking about changing it to something else or just changing the claws, but i just can't decide. anyway there are some pics below.



i am thinking about getting rid of the white all together and i really do think the claws and hoofs and stuff just look wrong. i really like the gaunts so i was thinking about doing that sort of wash on all the carapaces but i dont know how it would look.
hope people have some surgestions

thanks for dropping in

Your Tyranid scheme looks very reptilian and natural. The orange and yellow fit in nicely and the purple is also a great contrasting colour. The white looks a bit out of place on them but it does not necessarily look bad. If you are going to change something it should be that. That being said I really like the scheme and it looks great overall. It needs no changes.

Like the look of the mono-wheel baby kan

As to the nids, I'd say keep the white, but 'feather' it into the green rather than have the hard edging, like you did on the tyrant's carapace. I think it's just the hard transition that's bothering you. But then again, I'm just guessing there - I'm a mek Jim, not a weird-boy.

Maybe a dry-brush over the claws, lighten the edges up a bit.

Don't see a need to change the overall scheme, it has a nice slimy green monster feel to it.

Wow I'm really enjoying how your progress is coming along.

Keep up the good stuff.

Oh and im liking the battle wagons But just asking here do you not like the battle wagon kit? just asking.

Ok-first: Is that unit at the top kommandos with 2 meks?

and second: if it is, I love the grot mek. The lone grot in a recycled kan suit is so badass hanging with the boyz.

As for the nids... I like 'em, but I want more "white". I'd say do the carapace like a turtle shell, but with liter colors. Not very much green on the shell if any at all.

thanks for the comments on the scheme guys it really helps. so i will looking into the feathering with the white to see how that will work, i will also test to see how it looks witout the white at all and then see which i prefer. and with the claws i am going to look into doing something else maybe.

The Good Green@"Ok-first: Is that unit at the top kommandos with 2 meks?"

no no it is a big mek with grot oiler but i wanted to give it a different spin. Its for a trade with schank

happygolucky wrote:Wow I'm really enjoying how your progress is coming along.

Oh and im liking the battle wagons But just asking here do you not like the battle wagon kit? just asking.

no its just because i want all of the tanks to be looted or scratch built, just so they are unique and have the added deathskull vibe.

UPDATE

so i have decided to make the battle fortress into a battle wagon with super kannon instead... the base body was just too small to work with for a battle fortress. maybe i will get a baneblade and build up from there.



so above we have some pics of the exsaust pipe i added, the cool engine parts on the back, the new big shooter on the front and a small addition to the super kannon to make it even bigger.

so since i decided to have just the one super kannon fitting it on and making it move is a lot easyer, so it can now be postioned and aimed





and this is how it turns and pivits

thanks for looking

Looking good. That super kannon is great.

Todays progress



going to making the green stuff line into bolts for the battle wagon, i base coated schanks trade, i based the ammo grots and i did a wash on the ork byz skins.

bigfish out

Thats fine. I like the models to be 100% from the person I trade with. And Yes I will base yours as well.

And Awesome progress. Those nid takers are pretty cool as well.

As for the Nids. I wouldn't change to color scheme just clean it up a bit..

Those grots are lookin' mighty uppity. I love it.

And the Big Mek with oiler is awesome too. Like the mek gave his first kan to his favorite grot, who stays close incase the thing breaks down

That tank is looking good too, well looted! But I'm confused about the side-gun thing. I see the exhaust on it, but what's that black cone bit?

Battle-fortress, battle-wagon, battle-wotsit. It's looking good whatever it is

GG - I think that's just there to prop up the exhaust at the moment.

Battlewagon is lookin' good. I'd go for bigger exhausts though, orks want everything bigger and louder!

CommissarKhaine wrote:Battlewagon is lookin' good. I'd go for bigger exhausts though, orks want everything bigger and louder!

well i was thinking about mirroring the exhaust on the other side anyway but i will see if i can fit any on at the back below the other engine thing as well


so i am just going to add the bolts and the other exhaust to the "battle-wotsit" now so pics will be up soon, not sure if i am going to paint it before i put pics up of it bolted? but i will see how i feel at the time.

anyway thanks for all the comments so soon very motivating (and it means my post dont join up to each other )

thanks for checking in viewer's

BigFish Out

So tomorrow i am going to go to my local gamesworkshop (romford) and try to get a game... probs wont happen looking at my track record for going there and it being constant begginers games :( but alas i will try. so this has been the first time i have tryed getting my ork stuff into my cases and i thought it was worth bloging about it on here as i have'nt gone out of my house for a game in months (more then 6 less then 9?)



not taking the squigifant, 2 kopters, the scratch build deffdread, the scratch built kanz or the flash gits.

though the side effect of me getting my orks into those cases is i had to empty my marines out...



pictures a bit blury but theres:

25 marines with bolters
11 marines with special wepons
5 space marine leader guys (i forget what they are called)
11 termi's (including a termi captain and 2 leader guys)
and a dread with multi melta

just thought as i got it out might as well have a pic...


The last thing on this rather random post is my army list i wrote to take.

please could people give there oppinions on the list tonight and i will check in the morning to see what people are saying before i leave.

But for real that awesome someone else is doing that army. If ya see them again tell the to join the site and post a thread on their army. Glad you found some games to play.

Got some more work done on my looted rhino. Added some battle damage like you suggested and some more orky bits. I'll have some pics up after i get it painted.

The new battle wagon is looking really great. Your stuff is looking really good all together like that.

now for some bolty bits and then paint

Needs more Dakka! Although it is awesome as is. Great to see it almost finished it looks amazing.

Nice defrolla!

Flying Pooo wrote:Needs more Dakka! Although it is awesome as is. Great to see it almost finished it looks amazing.

i have considered the daka issue and although i could put more gunz on, the super kannon is a ord wepon so i cant shoot anything else anyway, the current bigshooter is just for when the super kannon is destroyed.

CommissarKhaine wrote:Nice defrolla!

thank you



now with bolts

You know, bigfish, your conversion work is getting better by the day. Or should I say Orkier? That battle fortress is a beast. I really like how you have room for Orks to stand. Adds to the realism.

No self respecting Big Mek would say that. The more dakka the better.
It looks awesome where it is at and you don't need to change anything but if you want to make more dakka maybe you can put a couple shoota boyz next to the big cannon to give the appearance of more dakka. They wont add any more weapons to BW in a gaming sense. The BW also needs more grots hanging off the sides and some ork glyphs to give it more Orky character.

I have to fully agree. Your conversion are evolving into better carfted and thought out pieces of work. And the speed in which you do it in. I hate you for that.

I'm just slow i guess.

i was thinking about painting ork letters on it and not having so many glyphs on this one, but i will add some now just for you (if i dont or you dont see them in the next pic just say and i will sort it out)
not sure if i hav anymore orks to hand i can add really i will look into getting some grots though.thanks for the con crit

yours are awesome anyway (and not that slow), i am good with tanks and walkers and big stuff but your kustom warboss puts my 40mm modeling skills to shame
and anyway its not that hard to make orky stuffs



SO


"Oi Boss, Boss, Bo..." before grup could finish his last word he was set alight by the Mega Mek's burna and turned to a molten pile of sludge, "WHYAT IZ IT YA RUNT!!!!" the mega mek screamed at the pile of molten ork on the floor. It seemed that the boss had started to lose his mind after the months of tyranid presence on his world, just as the Mega mek lent down to scoop up and taste what melted grup is like a grot flew threw the open window hole and landed on the floor just to the side of the Mega Mek. The grot burst into a high pitched sqweal of words as soon as it had landed and it took the Mek by surprise at first before he heard a word he could recognise "Gribbly's".
The Mek took the grot by the throat and roared into its face "WHERE!!!" the grot struggling to breath pointed out of the window hole that it had been thrown through a few moments age. The Mek looked out towards the horrizon, and a grin stretched across his scared blue face "Get Da Ladz Tagetha, We Got A Fight A Comin".... when there was no reply from the grot in his hand the Mega Mek instantly prepared to rip of its tiny little head, unfortunatly the little zogga had went blue and died already, the mega mek tossed the crushed corpse onto the pile of ork on the floor and then prepared for some propa crumpin.

i have done a battle report... it is from a while ago but check it out (the fluff is from the Bat Rep)

thanks

Luvvin the work on this.

The walkway area on the top (as already mentioned by others) really makes it work well, rather than looking like just a Land Raider with stuff on. OK it is but you know what I mean.

Hope you don't mind, but one thing is not quite right to my eye ( No no the Dakka) and I would like to make a suggestion.

It's the 'brackets' for the deffrolla, they are just a bit flimsy looking and could do with something more substantial like an I beam or some such to 'beef them up.

Apart from that the whole thing is awesome though.

Right so i am going to go to the local gamesworkshop again.... 2 times in 2 weeks :O its like its a hobby or something.
anyway i will see what i can get done painting wise and i might take some pics too

sees yas latars

So i went to my local gw and got owned. i was fighting a nurgle chaos marine army in 1500 points and it was just one thing after another. i took pictures and was going to make a battle report but tbh i dont think i have enough pictures and i cant remember everything that happened, so i am putting them on here instead.

setup



first turn





2nd turn?



3rd turn?



battle wagon 1 is destroyed



battle wagon 2 is destroyed and things move

turn 4



termies come out to play


orks die dread charges

turn 7

everything is dead



and that was that.... was totally mushed into orky bits, i think i really needed my battlewagons to survive and they just did'nt :(
maybe take 2 kff meks not time instead of a waboss. anyway i did some painting too.


first nova marine (and i just relised i missed the hand... )



and some progress on the boyz



thanks for looking

Looks like you need some ligt support to bubblewrap your battlewagons? Or was it the vindi that did you in?

As for the orks: love the skin, and the guy with the pickaxe is pretty cool

CommissarKhaine wrote:Looks like you need some ligt support to bubblewrap your battlewagons? Or was it the vindi that did you in?

what can i use as light surport though? i was using a looted wagon which was terrible and a unit of 8 lootas and they were totally ineffective as well (the vindi did nothing really, just kept getting the kff saves when ever it shot at me)

and thanks


So i am joinging this waaargh daka thing tat is going on... so i am making a cyber grot for the cyber grot mob that is being done.... (was making it before anyway and figured i could kill 2 birds with one stone )

onto wip pics



comments please

thanks for viewing

so i finished the making side of my cyber grot... and really enjoyed it. i can see why people spend the time to do each model now so intensly. hmmm i think cyber grots are going to be something to keep in mind for the future.
pic below:



and a size comparison with the grot bot



comments always appreciated and thanks for viewing

Nice little cyber-grot you have there bigfish, love the 'headphones'.

And I also like those nid axes

Looking nice - whalemusic360 started a thread for the cybergrots btw!

Very creepy cybergrot there. He kind of reminds me of something from a twisted Alice in Wonderland. That long arm dragging a knife that s too big... the tilt of the head...

Also, the extra cords coming out of the back of the head are super cool and "in-character" from a mechanicus angle.

Nice cyber-grot. Those oversized farnkenstine bolts are funny as hell.

First of all

another battle rep, small one just for fun. link below, check it out if you can.

MY WARBOSS/ KAPTAIN BADRUKK COUNTS AS NEEDS A NAME!!!!!



so he was sitting on my desk just looking at me with such longing to be finished i just had to do something with him. So i have added the new twinlinked shoota too the power claw as well as armour plates leading from the gun to the back of his armour/ fuel point, and then i added some more armour plates to the exposed bits on the sides of the main gun torsoy bit (also referd too as the crotch cannon)
oh and added the slugga with sight.

still needs some work but i just want to have something to paint after the next batch of boys i finish to keep me motivated to keep painting, and at the moment he seems like a good thing to keep me on track.
one last pic just to show him of as he is at the mo.



Oh and i also added a button onto the torso that will be painted red... as all meks creations should have a red button

thanks for checking in

update

finished the tyranid killers all apart from putting th grass on there bases (same as the marine killas)



started on my waaargh banner barer in the Nobz unit



started on the warboss/ badrukks leg armour



and i based schanks trade kinda (just needs grass)




And thats everything for now.

thanks for viewing

Kap'in Grabbit Pirat?

Bigfish, I have to agree with other comments; that your conversion work keeps getting better and better.

I've been busy with school, so I haven't been on a Dakka for while. I went back and reviewed your earlier work; which by the way is quite good, but your newest work is ever better.

Now I'd say that's a fairly serious crotch cannon he's sporting there

Hey every army need a crotch cannon.

Those are looking great Bigfish. I need to start work on your doc again now that I have got caught up a bit. Added a 'urty saringe to his cuttin arm. Just trying to figure out how I want to do the other arm.

Nice work bigfish The looted landraider is awesome!!

As ever you never cease to amaze me with your conversions all I want to see now is a warkopta you hopefully will convert (pretty please with a cherry on top with a side order of Chuck Norris).

Keep up the good work.

hi there, so i have'nt been o here for longer then usual. started college and have been doing arty stuff all the time so hav'nt had a lot of tie to really get stuck into anything new. untill earlyer today

I've been busy with school, so I haven't been on a Dakka for while. I went back and reviewed your earlier work; which by the way is quite good, but your newest work is ever better.

thanks for the kind words. I really like it when people say that i ave improved as time has gone on, kinda just because that was always the aim of having a project blog. thanks for the comment

Keep up the good work.

out of what though? and do i really need one?
i had an idea for a warkopter a while ago made from a eldar falcon with orkyer wings.. but i just dont really need one and i dont have the money to make it at the mo... although if something comes along that i see and think hmmm i could do this. i will take the chance, but untill then no warkopters are planned.

oh and thanks




OK onto progress, its small but it is all i managed to get done in the small space of time i had.

BASING AND GREEN STUFFING LINES....(i know i know not that interesting)



so i based:

A big mek

4 nobz/ flashgits

my waaargh daka grot

20 shoota boyz

and 10 komandoes

and i also green stuffed some lines, why is that important i hear you ask?

because then i can make bolts and finish my battle wagon and warboss/ badruk convert and get to painting them.

so today was basically a big step forward to being ready to do proper stuffs at later dates.




Thanks for all the great comments and sorry this is'nt a super exciting update but next time willbe more progressful

thanks for viewing

Gorgrab da' dakka grabbin' pirat lord?

UPDATE OF VARIOUS STUFFS

Matt.Kingsley wrote:Gorgrab da' dakka grabbin' pirat lord?

better.. hmmm i will keep that one in mind, thanks matt

ok so i hav been doing some modeling of late, i returned to my classic shoota boyz mob that i have had forever and started doing a bit of a revamp on them. pictures below.

this is all of them bar 3 i was working on at the time.



close ups



i also made one of the nobz/ flashgits have a combi flamer... i think he looks pretty badass and he will be the next thin i paint hopefully.



dont know if you can see it but i have carved the khorne sign into his armour plates and the chaos star on his armour as well (but his hair is in the way of it (should have considered that before)
but yes this one shall be the CHAOS KILLA and in doing the slaughtering of the various chaos champions he may have caught the eye of a certian skull hungry god.. so yea thats the idea with this one.


NEXT

oh yea i reinforced the battle wagons deffrolla as well to make the sides look more like they could hold the weight of the deffrolla itself a bit better. (someone commented and said i should do it, and i think it really makes it look better... cant remember who said it but thanks for the advice )



so yea, COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED

and thanks for looking

Nice to see some of the old ork bits being used.

Is that the telescopic legs I spy in the first close-up?

Deffrolla looks all the better for the reinforcements.

thanks and yes but it is from the deffdread kit and is on the rokkit arm annyway, and thanks again


MIGHT GET SOME STUFF DONE TONIGHT!

technical error ocoured there for a sec sorry

I was talking about the one with the boss-pole and the RT hvy bolter

You and your tanks. You build them so fast and i love the looks of them. Might have to send a grot squad over to your place and steal your blue prints also.

I like the addition to the defrolla, and the old skool orks are looking nice as well. Did carving out the chaos symbols work out OK?

I like the deffrolla but I think it would be better with some wires or cable coming from the front-sides of the battlewagon and going down the deffrolla mounting 'arms'.

monkeytroll wrote:I was talking about the one with the boss-pole and the RT hvy bolter

ohhh, no i don't think so. i think that is just where for some reason i have painted the end of the gun barrel yellow... (fail)

it worked ok, it was a bit fiderly at first but it turned out ok
i changed the head on him now anyway so you can see it better (the chaosy signs

Primarch_of_mechmarines wrote:I like the deffrolla but I think it would be better with some wires or cable coming from the front-sides of the battlewagon and going down the deffrolla mounting 'arms'.

hmmm ok, i will think about it. not sure though because it does'nt really need any power going to it as the rotation is'nt going to be due to a moter, it would be more the battle wagon just pushing it along (fluff wise)
but still i will think about it and do some testers with blue tac

I realize that it doesn't need any power but, as any Mek knows more wires makes everything better.

sold, ok cool i wiil add some then

You could say they are hydraulic tubes or something to keep it somewhat lubricated becuase the Mek got tired of it not turning when the ran over to many weedy grots/ 'oomies

Sorry Fish but thats where you are wrong. I have a team of elite kommando grot heading to your location now. Their mission is to extract your brain and get more more doritos.

I like the "Hand Flamer" look of that kombi gun. Your waaagh is bursting with character from all these conversions.

i was sold on the wires make it better thought from befor tbh



but yea since i added this one i really quite like i so i am thinking about doing it a bit more all over or on the other side of the deffrolla

Thanks i am seriously considering making a unit of storm boyz copying BA with all the boyz having hand flamers. but yea maybe later


ANYWAY
got some stuff done



So i bolted on the deffrolla a bit and took of th grt and the dead marine so i can paint this thing easyer. oh and i added a wire to te deffrolla, i am thinking about ading anotther one on the opposite side as welll but i just have'nt gotten round to it yet. oh and i changed the head on the chaos dude so now you can see more of the chaosyness on him



cant wait to get this bad boy painted up!!!!

anyway thanks for looking and for the comments

see ya

That battle wagon is epic. Very Nice. And of course the grots will win. They are ninjaz.

Schank's right, you know

The Nob with the Stealer skulls Bosspole. Do I see some antique Marine armour and weaponry there?

That's an RT heavy bolter, I thought the legs were one of the old cybork legs, possibly the telescopic ones, but now I'm just confused by bigfish's answer

Lookin' good! the wires and the extra rivets really add that touch of life to the model.

I'm really curious to see what the battle wagon is going to look like when painted. The amount of stuff that model has going on is kinda awesomely crazy.

Nice weighty deff rolla too!

schank23 wrote:That battle wagon is epic. Very Nice. And of course the grots will win. They are ninjaz.

yes on the heavy bolter front that monkey said, it is a retro heavy bolter the legs and body are old school though.
monkey when you said the telescopic thing i thought you meant a scope or something i had no idea that you were talking about the legs
Anyway the legs are from before my time and i did'nt buy them so i dont know where they are form. (most of my ork stuff i got in a big box of loads of stuff)
oh yea and the armour is also retro mariny

Basecoated the battle wagon and the chaos killa today this morning, pics below.



Wagon all base coated and all, had to take a pic with the other wagon and boyz (they were already on my desk so i though what the hell)



also the chaos killa



so yea comments are always great (although i have only based 2 models so i am not expecting anything from anyone about anything )
and thanks for the views (almost on 20000 )

Hi,
Love these guys especially the nid hunters! And the battle wagon too! Love to see that beast painted, you are really going to town with these orks, love to see more.

also check out my blog too(hyperlink in sig AKA below!!!)got rouge trader mins!

HAZZER

UPDATE!!!

i have been neglecting my painting of late in preference of studying art. this was a mistake and now i am back to doing orky things (for a research week i have off )

HAZZER wrote:Hi,

HAZZER

thanks Hazzer

So i got my CHAOS KILLA OF DOOM, cough, painted. pics below



so if you have not already read this in previous posts, the idea with this guy and the other Nobz/ flash gits is that they were each assigned to go and loot the most killi things from the most killi races in the gallaxy, in a similar way to the how blood axe warbands copy humans for example the brazen claws warband. This Nob here was sent to go and find out what made those chaos boyz so killi and to find out the best way to kill em. He has found the thing that makes those chaos boyz so strong is the way they have these magic symbols on them, so naturally this nob carved those symbols into his armour and flesh. Thus attracting the eye of the blood god khorne, this Nob became stronger and stronger with each chaos boy he killed, not knowing what he would have been doing anyway was being seen as making sacrifices, The Nob decided it best to keep these magic symbols to him self. to keep them safe of course.



chaos killa and eldar killa

battle wagon/ skullhammer update

added paint to the thing

CommissarKhaine wrote: He's the guy shouting " Walk me closer I wan to hit them with my hammer!"

added paint to the nova marine that will go on the front



and then some shots with the kannon



THANKS FOR LOOKING

Nice work especially on the checkers and the skull bit (I can't remember what the orks call it I must not have had enough coffee) but, I think you need meatier wires for the deffrolla, don't worry if you don't have any I do and I am willing to send some your way, in exchange for your BRAIN! JK just give me a bunch of ideas on my ork Blog and i will send you some of the copper wire i work with.

Love the grot

I really llike your painting style as well, the skull on the side is a great and very orky addition!

Nice,
but boo to the SM!LOL

if your talking about the wire its gubbinz and if your talking about the skull i dont have a clue , and thanks btw. i found some thicker wire now as well so i am going to tinker with that a little bit and then see what it looks like on the rolla. Then have pics up on here at some point.

still quite a bit of work to do on them but you know. should'nt be all that hard

sorry for those that have just seen the same thing twice

anyway feedback would be great and thanks for the views. bigfish out

Nice, er... kans?LOL!!! They look great! very oringnal ever thought of doning an army group shot?

HAZZER

HAZZER wrote:Nice, er... kans?LOL!!! They look great! very oringnal ever thought of doning an army group shot?

HAZZER

not exsactly a group shot but i have been playing a 3500 point a side game this week took 2 days ( i seriosly dont know how it took so long)

but i took some pics from that, it is almost all the orks i have and at 3/4 of my nids



so yea i made some progress on the kanz but not really enough for me to take pics. i will put something up on here when they are bolted and basecoated. untill then i dont have any progress made :( but oh well i will post when i do.

thanks for viewing

The army as a whole looks great fish!Do you do have anouther?

HAZZER

another army, yes the tyranids are mine.
another Picture, no.

UPDATE!!!!!

a real proper updte on something new i have been working on. during my apoc game i had a little while ago i had all my dreads and kanz out on the field and just caught myself thinking "this is where it all began, and yet i have'nt made any new dreads in ages"

so i decided for 1 ,my old scratch built deff dread needed a serious update, and 2 that i wanted to make a new deff dread with KFF.

pictures below:



so he is going to be the "Big Un" in my dread mob, im giving him 2 skorcha's and a kff.
and the main aim with this guy is to try and show off a bit really.

anyway i will post pics with updates soon

thanks for the views

Right so back to the painting pots today, i have pretty much finished the battle wagon/ skullhammer.



can anyone see anything they think should be added or changed paint wise?
more pics below

(i really don't want to go back and change it model wise at this stage (even for wires, i could'nt find anything and i just got to a stage where i wanted this finished so i could move on))





so comments would be great and thanks for viewing

Looking good, but I'd consider adding rust, and maybe some blood on the defrolla?

CommissarKhaine wrote:Looking good, but I'd consider adding rust, and maybe some blood on the defrolla?

bought the colour i needed to make the rust effect today so i will get on that next time i get a chance to paint.

anyway a slight dread update.





still needs a lot of work on the legs before i attach the body.... oh god then it needs arms.
more work.

anyway thanks for looking

Ork progress
i am thinking that the battle wagon base is pretty much done now. i added some oranges and rusty colours to the deffrolla and i also obviously started on the turret. i think it is looking quite good.



and some random space marine progress
test scheme and a (almost) finished tac squad.



thanks for the views

indeed

I STARTED A PROJECT BLOG FOR MY NOVAMRINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/411472.page

did some more building on the big deff dread



The body is now attached to the legs although i do need to amour up the seems and add some gubbinz and stuff, but really the basic structure for the legs is now done

and now just a comparison shot for scale



thanks for looking and comments would be great

see ya

That Deff Dread looks great, it's Colossal! Although the way the terminator he is stepping on is posed it looks like he is a 2 year old child having a tantrum.

Flying Pooo wrote:That Deff Dread looks great, it's Colossal! Although the way the terminator he is stepping on is posed it looks like he is a 2 year old child having a tantrum.

lol that was not the aim lol
but i can see what you are saying, i am thinking about bringing the sand on the base up a bit to cover the knees and legs of the termi more so it looks like its being pushed into the ground. i think this might solve the whole "tantrum" effect



small update on the dread, i make the Kff and a extra arm to go on him as well. i cant decide weather i want to mirror the small extra am on the other side or weather i just want to have the one.hmmm anyway i started work on the axe i want him to have and am currently trying to work out ways of getting the other wepons on there as well.

anyway thanks for looking and contructive crit would be great

see ya

The deffa dead looks great but its a bit big!LOL. Ho about using it as a mega dread?

HAZZER

PROGRESS

HAZZER wrote:The deffa dead looks great but its a bit big!LOL. Ho about using it as a mega dread?

HAZZER

its not wide enough to be a mega dread, and i was thinking about that before but i think it would just be too cheeky to try and use it as a meka dread. still i rather like it as just a really big dread i think it works well.

ok so i did a little painting on some stuff.




so i added a skull to the grot bot, batte scars to the grot bot and the big mek, eyes to the grot bot and a touch up of the mud on the grot bots wheel. Then i painted some boyz.



just base colours and a green wash on the skin, but still progress is progress.



and then in the larger unit



thank you for looking

Deff Dread looks great. There's not really anything to criticize, but here a few ideas to crank up the Orkiness if you like them:
- add some spikes to the left shoulder pad
- add a right should pad
- add some plasticard and rivets to make it look like the fence post is more attached to the top of the choppa
- add 2 big plastic teeth to the dreads 'jaw' on the sides of the Ork pilot's face.
- add plasticard horns (just my personal taste, I love horns)

I look forward to your progress, your scratchbuilds are always amazing.

Look great fish!However, those boyz are looking a bit light is there going to e darker washes added? Love to see more!

HAZZER

I have to admit 2 things:
1. - I am ashamed to say this is the first time I have looked at your blog
2. - I was a little "verklempt" to see that I had inspired someone. I think if I were to die now in a fiery explosion due to the carelessness of a friend, that would be okay.

Your painting skills seem to have gotten much better since you started this army. Liking what I see. Keep up the good work, you plastic cutting maniac.

Just checking in to see if everything's progressing nicely.

Yep all seems OK



Grotbot is a go!

i like your style
i was going to add the other shoulder pad but i was going to have gunners, but then after you wrote this i liked it so spikes it is! as with the teeth i did'nt want to put too much on the jaw as i want the axe to cross infront of it and i did'nt want to complicate doing this anymore. as with the choppa, it was always going to have rivits as is the entire thing but i am liking the fence post idea so i will try it. And finally, im not going to add horns to this one, i just dont think it will work at this stage, maybe when i get other bits on it done i will come back and try horns on it.
and thanks

HAZZER wrote:Look great fish!However, those boyz are looking a bit light is there going to e darker washes added? Love to see more!

That Dred is coming along nicely. It looks very cool so far.
Keep it up!

Are you making all your rivets out of Green stuff?
I use a 1mm hole punch and some cardboard or thin plasticard to make my rivets. I can't imagine making them all out of GS, although you have done very well, they all look very uniform.

What ever did happen to the Thunderbirds? I loved that show!

OT:Real nice Dread, really, it is

Well, things didn't do so well for them in later years. International Rescue lost the appeal against the class-action suit against them from some whiplash incidents after evacuating a burning prototype space hotel.

Shortly after that Jeff Tracy lost Tracy Island in a high-stakes game of snap. He was last seen wandering the streets of Detroit muttering to himself about the man in the moon.

Scott died in a tragic accident during a race through the Grand Canyon in an effort to raise his flagging public image.

Virgil runs a U-Haul franchise, utilising a heavily patched TB2 as a fast reliable removals van.

Alan hung himself with his white sash after his connections with a meth-lab run by a large crime syndicate were revealed by the three 'young' ladies he hired one drunk weekend.

Gordon went stark, raving mad after a false coconut from the old splitting palm tree (which he had taken as a memento) fell on his head, and tried to leave TB4 after parking it at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

John dropped out, has isolated himself in hos space station and broadcasts Grateful Dead albums to the world.

Brains briefly ran several card scams in Vegas before being beaten to a pulp by heavies.

Kyrano did quite well for himself, becoming a celebrity after publishing his autobiography 'Dick, Tracy and Me'.

TinTin released a one-hit wonder single, then moved into film, before becoming a regular in several daytime soaps.


Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward died in a mysterious car crash, leaving her entire fortune to her butler Parker.

thanks, and yep all rivits made form green stuff, i did look for a way to hold punch them but tbh i quite lke the fact that i have to green stuff some up when i run out, means that i have a reason (excuse) to work on some of the other stuff that needs green stuff work.

You're not the only one. Friggin holidays slowing progress down.

same, more than usual

If only christmas had some sort of purpose or aim, then this slowing down would be much more tolarable.

Anyway did some work on one of the deff dreads arms, getting closer to this being done now. although its going to be a proper pain to paint



im going to make a kinda handy thing to hold the axe at some point, but i still need to do a little most spike adding to it first. oh and a picture of it one the body of the dread



really not sure about how i am going to surport the arm, i was thinking maybe green stuffing it on, super gluing the green stuff and the panneling over it. but yea anyways

and thanks from before

Um, your take on Gofc Rokerz as a count as a count-as Boy/Nob/Flash Git Mob?

definitely shoota boyz.

I'm partial to Kanz myself.

Though I second the Goff Rokkers as Flash Gits.

Matt.Kingsley wrote:Um, your take on Gofc Rokerz as a count as a count-as Boy/Nob/Flash Git Mob?

has to be either shoota boys, kanz or komandoes.
its which one i paint next not an entrerly new unit i am going to make.... although gof rocker could be interesting. ive been thinking about chaos orks, and they could be quite good as a slaanesh chaos looters with noise gunz..

bigfish wrote:If only christmas had some sort of purpose or aim, then this slowing down would be much more tolarable.

Anyway did some work on one of the deff dreads arms, getting closer to this being done now. although its going to be a proper pain to paint



im going to make a kinda handy thing to hold the axe at some point, but i still need to do a little most spike adding to it first. oh and a picture of it one the body of the dread



really not sure about how i am going to surport the arm, i was thinking maybe green stuffing it on, super gluing the green stuff and the panneling over it. but yea anyways

HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND I HOPE EVERYONE GETS ALL THERE PRESENTS THEY WANT!!!!!

see ya
