if only i actually converted my grots. Hehe, for the most part i run them as zoggin normal grotz, soz boring.

at least they´re grotz...the rest is to be forgiven then

sadly i didnt work on my grotz. and this weekend has been to say the least, hectic. Any who, replacement big shoota, yes or no? why or why not?

Yes, makes perfect sense Orks would loot the big guns they take off space marines. Very nice.

I agree with FSU on this one as well. It does not look awkward at all and does a lot for the pose. Kudos!

Thank you mate, i will be doing all my big shootas this way then.

Thank you again! it was a beyatch to pose.

When I see a kitbash/conversion I make my judgements based on the following:

1. Can I do that?
2. How well could I do that?
3. How much swearing would be involved?

Just something to think about.

Reminds me of 3rd edition lootas actually Very cool, and why wouldnt that work as a Bigshoota? A heavy bolter and a big shoota have the exact same stats dont they?

Its a good list to make, i normally find the 3rd lacking in my book however

They dont have the same stats one is assult the other is heavy! lol otherwise you are right, i just wondering if people approved of the look or not. It appears to be acceptable.

Well here is what is currently on my work bench. Enjoy

Went back for numero dos? I like it!

Big Bob and Little Earl? That reminds of some people that I lived in a trailer park around.

Man, heavy bolters look right at home on an Ork.

just one minor nitpick comrade... the gap between the backpack of the first gunner and the bolter amobelt that is connceted to the bolter... you have a bare amo part stuck inbetween... if possible i would change that... i dunno how this could work...or... you could suitably ork it up a treat... try to make it look as if the two parts have to be bound together by string/wire... as of now the second is way more convincing... tho i absolutly love the idea behind the conversion!

and for the later to be helmet design... make him a tribut to this guy...:



sadly i forgot the callsign of that one...

Hmm helmets have been something that always bothered me with this army. I feel that the simple dome helmet retains the orky feel/nature and conveys the semi american look of it. I have tried the orginial toy army man conversion. It was not that fantastic for the amount of effort placed in.

As to the ammo belt you currently have upset, the conversion wasnt half done, i am glad you caught it and didnt feel it quite right, and by my nature it is not quite right!. i will be correcting nowish.

and by my nature it is not quite right

wouldn´t dream of putting it that way mister!

mere pointing out some ideas i had

as for the head issue... any ork heads from third party dealers possible as a replacement then? tho this would mean a money drain where it isn´t really needed... OR... how about making a satisfactory head with the right helmet and then pressmould it and later on just pressmould it on any other head?

The press mold head is something i tried, i would just have to sculpt a helmet from scratch, and over all i feel the current helmet is suitable. But i will attempt to do a contrast. Another aspect is faces, the helmet ork heads very with 15 faces, the non helemt face ones vary by 8. Please do keep the ideas flowing Vik, i am always open to a aspect i didn't touch.

Update on the heavy bolter, hope you like it vik,

So heres what a full blown orks of america boys squad looks like. One big shoota down, but awe hell i think the theme is coming together.

Very cool orks comrade! Speaking of comrade, I love that banner!

thanks mate! I am also missing 20 or so back packs, includiń the nobs.

A mass of boyz always puts a smile on my face.

I would of taken a picture of a game I played a few weeks ago, where I horded boyz and walkers on the table. There was this one angle, that it just looked scary.....and green.

Boyz look good! The rework on the ammo belt is spot on!

and well... today i went to a GW shop... have you considered using feral orks/black orks (not really these as they only have a few bare ones...)heads for your conversions to american orks?

heh, i have one nob uncle smork made from a block ork. I havent really looked into it, but now i looked on line those chests be good for a classic heavy gunner torso.

i suppose i owe you guys a treat i am working on. Rouge inspired it, but i am painting. Here is what i got running for you mate! hes maybe 1/3rd done, i have the face done, and the arm is 60% done. the rest is just blocked out.

using the ork codex there is the name, Tuf Nob - which is a rough fitting for glory. Another could be Mor Nob

Hey guys here is a simple battle report. i have over 30 photos...so ya not all of them on making it on here.
Anyways here is the deployment!

So what you see is the deployment
Here is what happens

Game orks get Feel no Pain near objective trait, guard get ferious charge in enemy deployment.

Turn 1 - orks deploy first
Orks move up the middle nothing exciting, lots of climbing onto the fortress of redemption.
Lootas kill 4 fire warriors.
Bikes move up the flank and kill 8 guard, fail to charge, no over watch damage.
Turn 1 - guard
Everything fires into the bikes, scoring first blood.
Fire warrirors kill 4 orks moving in the open.
Guard rounds the corner and kills even more orks!
Turn 2 - Orks
Squad inside in the fortress of redemption hop out charging through the back door guns blazing into the guard
Lootas finish off the fire warrior squad
Orks charge up around the fortress gunz blazing into the guard, the Manz charge up the ramps of the fortress killing some guard.
Assult - the both guard squads are annihilated except for the one in assault with Manz and Boyz - commisar says no i am stubborn!
Turn 2 - Guard
The the chimera is surrounded!
Tau Shash'o suit deep strikes in!
Squads shuffle around and fire rips out everywhere!
The large squad of 20 orks drops to 3! losing nob, but stick hard
Assault - suit jumps away, orks finish of the commissar.
Turn 3 - Orks
Ork movement moves up towards the center chimera surrounding it move 3 man squads banks left towards the tower of constrained guard.
6 ork boys and 1 nob kill the chimera via glancing! The warlord of the guard hops out! Their pinned!
MANZ surprized at the boys work turn around and maim a platoon command squad in shooting.
Lootas, kill a platoon command squad across the board
The three boyz that banked left, turn and kick the guard commanders teeth in. He runs away like a little girl.
Turn 3 - Guard
Guard attempt to regroup and bolster their flank, a Vet squad makes a back behind the other side of the fortress to claim a objective.
Shooting sees the 3 boy ork squad die. Nothing else
Assault, the suit runs away.
Remaining platoon squad breaks for a run to the objective with nothing but a hwt and a vet.
Turn 4 - Ork
The boyz chase the platoon squad going for a objective
The Manz push hard towards the other objective
Ork warboss breaks off and stands on top of the chimera (to split shooting of course)
Manz kill and break the remaining guard squad
Lootas get a lucky sight on the fleeing platoon command running from the boyz and butcher the HWT, the commander runs off board.
Turn 4 - Guard
The vets make a break for the objective - lootas have line of sight so he hides behind the wall out of sight waiting for turn five.
The chimera attempts to block the Manz from the objectives going sideways.
The crysis HQ helps.
Shooting is in effective on the MANZ
Turn 5 - Orks
Make a break for the objective the platoon command was with the boys. - they fall short by 1 inch! (including run)
Ork warlord trips and dies off the chimera. - effectively tying the warlord kill pt!
Manz kick Tau Hq face in and the chimera killing both and capping a point! - MANZ MERIKA! was yelled.
Turn 5 - Guard
With only but a lowly vet squad left, with the objective watched by 10 lootas make a dash for the objective!
They make it on the objective.
The game Ends! - he rolled a 1 to continue.
Guard VP
Line breaker, Warlord (even tho he killed himself), First Blood, Objective
Orks VP
Line breaker, Warlord (chap deserved it), Objective.

Guard win by 1 VP
If your curious kill point wise:
Orks - 2(platoons) + 2(platoon command) + 2(chimeras) + 1(fire warriors)+ 1 (Tau Hq) = 8 kill points
Guard - 1 (Warboss who tripped) + 1 (Boyz squad) = 2 kill points
its was a narrow loss, if the game went on, the guard would have been tabled!
But it was a good and close game all the way.
(however slightly tailored the guard list was.(Flamers galore about 8 in the list? with lots of huge template (taus)))

Looking groovy as always. A further though on heads: have you considered Kromlech's Confederate Ork heads?

no but i will look at that!


just looked into it, it doesnt really fit. If i was shooting for the south id go for it, but for the most part i feel the heads to comical in the grim dark.

Nice job, It was a good try! I hate playing guard so much!

Thats the spirit man. Never give up. Youll figure out how to kick some teef in, just stick with it "an giv it anuva go!"

All that awesome terrain with no paint makes me sad. I can't offer any gaming advice because I don't know how to play, but try wiping out a unit at a time. He can't take obj's if his guys are all dead.

always willing to give it another go! extra so when they only win because of first blood and mr warboss being drunk

I am sorry the terrian wasnt painted, i know it is sad. (alot of his guys were dead, was counting on me making a 3+ to run, the game continuing on a 3+, and my war boss not falling a 2+, 2+, but these things happen)
Luck will win a game, just not all the games.

Belated for the heavy bolter/big shoota conversions - it's on my list to try that, so it's nice to see how well it works.

Thanks mate! i am working on getting more. Also welcome to the thread.

So i been painting wolves favorite. Here is wolve. Please vote on this picture, i would like it so.

the banner looks sweet... reminds me of FO... very spiritual...

but the lower half and the gun arm look far from finished?

tho this might be due to the lighting... that mini deserves much better in terms of light....

i know the lighting was poor, but what do you mean by half fanished? to me the muzzel is warm and power is flowing, on the chainsaw bit i don't like to do blood splatters, it gets old. But by all means please describe what you mean.

Here is more lit gun arm shots.

well both lighting situations kinda swallowed the different colors of the trousers and the boots...

if one were to cobble the pics you already showed i bet we would see it as you in RL... maybe you take a daylight pic...? so that we can better see it in it´s full and true glory?

I will do that. On a side note the boots and pants are te same color

My only complaint, is you used the wrong links for posting. I had to click on your gallery and then find the images to vote. If you use the forums links, itll take us to the pics with the voting system on it.





On to other things, that is pretty fly. Love the flag.

 Viktor von Domm wrote:

ahh yeah vik! also, i dont know who plays but i am going to be building a table, and as such i am looking into fair terrain placement along with hitting the home world feel for my guardsmen. As such, what do you think i made this general layout for the table.
I am thinking of making the "castle" side a higher elevation, increasing the elevation at the trench defense line.

it´s definatly an interesting concept...

so i gather this will be a snowland table?

how much of these terrain pices do you have already? or were the fortresses and such stuff seen above your´s already?

whyt will you use for getting the raised sections?... my first guess would be foamboard... thick at that... will you want to build in the trenches or will you make them flexible and removable?

Was thinking of building the trenches into the board. It will indeed be a winter wonderland.
I was thinking of doubling up the foam to raise the sections and then smoothing it out.
I own all the terrian to do this as it is. Current terrian i own is,

about 9 -12 defense lines along with 4 bastions. (bought two of the planet strike big boxes with two bastions each and 4 defense lines or whatever)
5 gw craters
1 fortress of redemption
and 1 imperial sector, that i used to make the church, factory, and minstorium.
I have two Bastions built, 2 in pieces for destroyed ones.

Feel free to do your own suggestions, this is just a rough idea. I wanted the castle feel defending the peasants. I could always do the good old Castle in the middle on the raise surface deal, with out laying town.

hmmm... if you feel up to it... do a sketch from a mini perspective... that way we could better think about the table...

the theme of the table (old Castle in the middle on the raise surface deal, with out laying town) and your current plan sound very good... BUT... do you think this is a fair table for the non castle team? i am not too sure... seems for the "visitor" team to be a regular slaughterhouse... whyt will they have to their disposal to keep on trukking?

that is what i am worried about, i want to find a way to balence the terrian/ hense my half raised castle idea. Oh and if you mean the home team gets to start in the fortifications, that is a negative, the team would start in a standard mission deployment ect With the terrain just their in the middle or where ever it is placed. I will attempt to do some mini sketches.

ah i see... so no benefits then... at least that sounds fair then... tho...i now think it needs more space all together...

to ballance out the trenches and other deathtraps... well you could add some pillboxes that could be used by the visitor team too... maybe that would help...

sounds interesting. Of course a defense mission is always a plan for the table, but not for general play.

well... the castle piece sort of creeps your defense pupose into your head... sort of unwanted but inevitable i guess^^

doing pillboxes is rather easy too... and quick... darn... i need to get some project free time to finish a strong point i need to show you... that would be ideal for your table... maybe i get around to do some WIP pics for you tomorrow... could be an alternative for trenches then for you... as these pieces can be aranged any old how... so you gain instant flexibility in building the table...

Here is a MANZ i did, CC welcome as always. He still needs his theme badge. Also known as the orks of america star. Location matters, if you got a suggestion for a badge location on the model please say it. i am still trying to figure it out.

thanks eldartau. I was feeling the shoulder be good two, but should it be both sides?

I think if you do one, you would have to the other. Or add something to the other side.

 eldartau1987 wrote:

yeah, i think i will do both shoulders, expect a update this evening!

i am with you on the shoulder position... but make it like an air recon sign... just facing upwards... that´d be enough...

and yes... daylight pics are worth all the time spent waiting ... all the huzzle to set the minis up for taking pics etc...

now we can see the lightnings on the forcefield projector... the scratches and weathering you did on all models...

and all the other neat details...

one thing this made me discover tho... the banner bearer has three stripes on his helmet that could look neater... either more wonky... or more straighter... your decision...

but all are truly good looking!!!

Thanks for advice vik, i also agree that the stripes are off. i will do a two stripe, its more Lt. type anyways. Also here comes some pre table pics, tell me what you think, ect.

Heres the table i am working on guys, terrian placement, ect, give me all you got, give me your friends to look at this, do everything. This is before smoothing, and cutting, and plastering, and well everything takes place, this is a general layout - it is mission critical.

I like the way it looks! It is going to be modular? Are you glueing down the terrian?

 eldartau1987 wrote:

modular, not likely, gluing the terrain down will happen. The table will be able to come apart and such.

the two stripes for an LT sounds like a good plan!!!

the table as such looks beautiful... mayn nice models and pieces together... but to be honest... the first thouht i had was...: way too crowded... it´s for me atm a case of too much of a good thing... i am far one that should talk about rules... so i wont... if the rules for a table that size demand so many pieces for terrain... than you are gold... but i think it´s a bit too much...

tho when i look again i see many good ideas... the walls... they look quite good there... even the amount... and for now the craters look more poping into view... when all is done i think they will more blend in with the rest and thus wont me that noticable as atm...

the one question you have to ask yourself tho is...: do you have enough flat surfaces to play on? will vehicles have enough room to maneuver in?

the upper part... will that be bevelled all around or will you make smaller sections bevelled and the rest sheer cliffs? could be both good looking...


you definatly need more opinions before starting... if it would be me... that is dooing that table...

maybe open another thread with that question in mind? could draw more chaps to this thread too....


well that´s my ideas at the top of my head atm ...hope i could help...

the pics are still on my to do list but today was a rather filled day with work and other painful stuff^^

well your granddad has accomplished an enourmous amount of succesful work it seems...

My heritage has done if anything, too much, good Vik. My father would say his hobby got to much in the way.. but that is neither here nor there. I just hope to be as miniature balls nut as him! I already got my GF invloved . she loves to paint nids now.

cool.... a bit of converting people to the cause is always a good deed!!!

and does she happen to have showable stuff already? i am so totally thinking about plastic monsters now... er... damn that last sentence didn´t help either

She has a few gargoyles. but her flyrant is really quite the spectacle. As i feel the nids are fantastic kits and well thought out, just so few bits except for the hive tyrant kit, bits everywhere in there.

More painted dudes.

Table is looking ace! That would be a fun table to play on. BUT I have to give some advice you really really REALLY need to take. Those blast craters you have, not only need some paint, but youll most definitely want to add some sand to them while wet. Even if your going to paint it in snow colors, thats fine. But the angles are really sharp AND the plastic is super friggin smooth. I can tell ya as a mostly foot horde player, those craters are frigging annoying to keep minis on, and sometimes (depending on out battles) those are all over the place. Its annoying trying to move a mob across them

Well said, I do agrees I dislike those creators quite a bit, I will work on getting them stuck in a couple pieces to flush them with the table

They are pewter.. i am going to have to do a dot, i have no way to drill em out..

well....

i did do the dot on one, pictured pg 13, and slightly in the two shot. Do you think it works? if not i can get inventive...

er... i am afraid...no... that doesn´t cut it...

can´t get a hold of some drilly bitz?

I have some drilly bits, but i think they are to small for my drill. Just sec, the experiment is commencing, i just finished my lab.

Since complete, here is the result.

Mucho better. Barrels just make a mini look complete.

have to say i do agree so.

if i now ask wether these barrels are drilled... does the mere fact that these might have been just painted on barrelholes...justify the none drilled barrels from now on?

They are drilled vik.

*phewww* i was worried i misjudged them^^

And i thank you for it! Hehe, just dont know what to do with the other two planes, paint them blue as well? or go green like my ork armor?

Scrap yard orks always over done in my opinion, its rare to see orks who really just go out/referb things. I like to do weathering/damage things, but you will notice my orks are not rusted, they are just dirty/battle damaged. Like any worth while guard army, the orks fluff is the practice turning scrap into a work of epic functioning, killing machines, with the rust scrapped off because of its weakness, a good paint job to make it fearsome, and a crazy ork to use it.

actually i would go again down the blue route...maybe add some flames? or lightning bolts or evenb a shark? i think all of these have been kind of iconic decorations for old warhorses...excuse me planes in the old days of america...

and i totally see your point with cleaner/better looking orks vs. scrapyard orks... makes sense to go a different route...!

in other news, i am uncle. My sister had a baby

oh... cool! congratz to your sister...the new earthdweller and you as a hopefully devoted uncle...

what did your sister got for the birthday then... boy/daughter? names?

you know... there are some standard procedure questions that have to be answered ... dunno why some peeps tend to ask the weight and lenght issues... seems rather unneded pieces of informations... but everybody keeps asking these... i know that i always asked back why peeps would want to know these... and always the person got really p...off for being asked this...

Man look at all those MANz! Love the looks of em though I have to say. A mass of mega armor just looks scary as hell. Thats something Im going to working on next year is adding an assload to my horde

Just had a look through this thread. Just wanted to say, cormadepanda, I approve of everything in it. Keep up the awesome work.

this is awesome!I haven't had time to look at everything, but I like what I've seen so far, subbed.
Also, if you haven't already what about making a surfer ork and calling him Mr. Zog, he could be a warbiker with a hoverboard. just an idea I had for my ork army, but it would honestly work better with your theme. Awesome work man, keep it up

Those are some awesome MANZ!

Hmm. Surfer? Mr Zog. Now that's a Werid boy! i will definitely look into doing that as i can see some gits wanting shore leave from the waghh. He may or may not get blond hair and such. Also welcome to the party and thank you, you guys keep me motivated to work on my army.

Over all thank you for the comments. Truly nice to have some support from fellow real people around the world. I am going to get more Manz done, because i heard rumors of squiggoths coming for my birthday, that i will use as battle wagons. HEHE i hope so!

another man done! still need help decided on a insignia, open to ideas.

Well i fought nids. It was a win/loss.

My list was
Warboss in mega armor
big mek
20 lootas
20 mega armored nobs
40 boyz
1 dakka jet
1 burna bomba

I won it was kill points, however i had only 1 plane left, and 1 ork nob from a boyz squad. Nearly tabled still a major victory. dunno how but i killed over 120 gaunts

Thats the funny part of playing an elite army like your doing. Youll lose a big chunk of your army, and still crush a force with 3-4 times the numbers then you have

it was a good old righto krumpin, but i had no way to deal with the 2 hive tyrants and a tervigon left. :( Oh well it was fun, wish i took pics, but i did get something of a b day gift! 2 boxes of boyz. ya!

perhaps it was the mad scientist type laughter that drove him. Sparks flying across the room. Saw scrapes on metal. A roar or cry for help from deep throat-ed animal. The glow from the head lamp and goggles lit only portions of what the mek needed to see. Piles of metal around, bolts loose on tables, tools a strewn around the desk. Dim afternoon light breached the windows into the room. Thudding pounded the grown at a occasional stomp of defiance. Still laughter was filling the room. Mad laughter. The spark of lightning arced off of the tool the mek was holding, the current went straight for his skull. He spazzed and smoked. A loud pop of the current completing the discharge followed by the sound of a sack of bricks landing in the bed of a truck. Silence took grasp for a second. Then laughter returned along with fuming smoke.

Oh sorry, didn't notice you here.. the meks laughter grew. He lifted his face plate. Now i know you been looking for a update here, and here is what i have for you.

The mek walked over to a desk with blue prints. It showed the outline of a squiggoth. Now you just listen here, take that terrible beasty, and shrink through these genetic-structure-manipulations-add-a-ard-bit-here-and-changethepoloymorphianatureofskin and wham!

Wez gunna make Ork Squiggoth Calvary, Mega Armored, Cannons, Normal, you bet, squiggoth Calvary. Laughter resumed, and a small squiggoth beast sat growling in the corner.

So fun story aside,
i am making Squiggoth Calvary, will work on rules as it comes, but the idea is that.
Going to get some wire and hot glue rolling to start the sculpting process!

Those MANZ are awesome! How can you afford all that?!
Are you throwing mega armor and a KFF on your mek? I'm not sure if that's legal. Looks bad ass as all hell though!

Heheheh... Stoked to see some squggoth cav!

My next project is actually 2 Big squiggoths (haven't found a giant lizard giant enough to make a gargantuan one yet) for an Apoc battle in December. I'm interested in seeing what you come up with... Might have to loot some ideas....

[edit] And as for your game with the nids, I dunno about you, but I actually find that probably 90% of the time that no matter if I win, lose, or tie, I almost ALWAYS lose nearly every unit by the end of the game. I don't play a particularly competitive list, really it's just what I have painted [which sadly means no lootas, yet] and I do pull more wins than loses, but none of da boys can freakin stay alive.

Looks clear to me! just a storm of gak to get through.

Sorry comrade I'm behind as usual, but wanted to give a massive for your mega-Armour fellows, look seriously intimidating! I also just wanted to pick up on the lenses in particular, they look really really good.

...and I'm sorry did you say you had 23 more?!! now THAT will be impressive.

If you like J-paint, i will do a tutorial on the lenses. 23 more? closer to 16 actually i did a miss count, so i will have to get more. but the storm is passed and hobby time can happen.

hmm... gentalmen. Keep my bikers? Or go for a green waghhh?

er...? keep them? how would you get rid of them? i couldn´t part with them...keep ´em i say

Alpha Strike with the bikers. 2 green waves is better than one... Think of it like of like a tidal wave. Do you think there is just one big one? nah there are smaller ones before the fact too!

I agree, bikers are good and sure a tutorial on the lenses couldn't hurt comrade, thank you!

Why not keep both?

NEVER!

Not sure if i am worried that everyone says their is no such thing as to much warhammer.

I guess there is but it is really the only time where I get to do what I want to do. I am always running around and Warhammer is my time to relax.

I'm not even sure the words "too much" and "warhammer" go together.

i keep buying stuff for warhammer on a constant base.... so yeah even if i am way behind my painting scheme... yes...there is no such thing as too much...for the horde(ers)!

You can never have enough models comrade, and you will never have painted everything you own, its a weird unobtainable goal, you will think you are getting near the end of your painting list and you'll find that you totally absent-mindedly have started buying more to make up for the increased painting speed.....

...I have a feeling the problem will continue to get worse and by the time I am old I will have to swim through my model collection when I enter the house. A lumpy ocean of unpainted grey plastic body parts.

Here here J-paint!! About 2 years ago I reorganized my bits box. Had enough pieces for a small SM army including a Razorback! Like 50 guys.

He a real update. Here is my battle wagon.

Awesome idea comrade. My only problem at the moment is it still looks really imperial! Is there going to be some orkifying it up?

Very cool. Like a stretch limo for orks!

It needs a LOT more Ork on it. But yea, thats a pretty original idea for a BattleWagon. Oh yea, and more armor on the front for that AV14 look. Cant wait to see what you throw on there

Wow great work on the wagon. You got the two parts to fit together nicely. I have to agree on needing more orkness. But I'm sure you will come through.

Nice job. I really like that design for Imperial tanks as well. I may have to adapt that for a LR or something sometime!

more orky they say?.... more orky it will be muhahahha

That would make for a pretty sick imperial vehicle! Can't wait to see it orkified

woah waoh waoh...

I just been enlightened... Like overly enlightened.
Grot tanks? 30pts per model?! + weps?
Grot Mega Tank? 70pts? +weps?
Squiggoths 50pts?
Kopters 65pts?

Why did no one tell me these models had such excellent rules.

Screw bikers... screw them hard, they are fun, but i just dislike the models. Now... now i have something to work for. Can get some scale tanks and helicopters. Get 1-2 more squiggoths. Have a real Ork of America army in Vietnam. So.. anyone in the market for around 43 bikers? Some forge world Ha ha. those funds will translate straight into those models.

Ah man, orks for orks. I do not need any orks.The gf would kill me if I bought any more models!

Try and see if it is a curvy line?

So...colors? was thinking black with red for scales, but i am open to suggestions

See, I told you there was no such thing as too much warhammer!

Green scales with gun metal armor. Use the red and black as accents.

first you proclaim that new branch of grotz army... then you show the stretch limo tank...

and now a squiggoth...

man... what do you do for a living? street robbery?

Hmmm green scales over done...and squigs can be the rainbow.

mwahahahaha!

rough mock up here, but what about a blue body?

I guess the blue would be good since these guys are on the same ice world as your IG.

hmmm they are not any more... vlora is going to change to a Asian Vietnam type place. Well..the world is going to change with name.

Hmm I quite like the blue, but then I am always going to sit in the back of threads whispering: paint it green, paint it all green! but I agree, green is the most common for this sort of thing.

A dark orange could look quite nice maybe? Perhaps looking at some dinosaur pictures would be useful?

Yeah I second dark orange. Maybe some dark yellow highlights.

i also agree with this. Oj simpson squiggy is coming along then.

So i started the painting, and i wanted both schemes.
@jpaint- green is best, but to much green gets old.

Comrade that was insanely fast! But it looks awesome! I'm really impressed. What colour are you planning on doing the armour now? I wouldn't choose a bright colour or it will make it look too busy, maybe just a dark metal colour? It would contrast well with the colourful skin and make a nice difference between the organic and artificial bits stuck on top?

agree...that was quick... also that j-paint is onto something with the dark armor here... disturbingly good looking comrade!

I love the fade from tan to blue, and the orange streaks work really well. Excellent beginning mate.

Dude that looks awesome great contrast between the blue and orange really draws the eye. Can't wait to see how you do the rest of the model now

Now, I go away for one weekend and there is a squiggoth on the table. O.o oh boy! It looks really good so far!

awe shucks guys you really make me blush.

I am planning on the armor as the same color as my MANZ. the dark green along with those scratches so hopefully i am up your ally and all will tie in. Thanks for the complement.

i like squiggs that are not green, despite it being xmas time.

Thanks, it is my first time doing a transition like that.

Give me a week when i don't have school. I will drop some jaws.

SO MUCH CODE....MUST KILL THINGS>...

All the code?

Holy you got a real one! That thing looks sick! I really like the paint job so far

eldartau1987 wrote:All the code?

All the code, with all the errors.

thanks mate! glad you can join the show.

updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!

Thats gonna really shell out some Hurt...

i beg to differ... its just ONE update...just because the squiggoth is a bigger unit it doesn´t equal twelve updates at once...

tho very good looking...tho teeth and horn could do with a bit of warming up...possibly a sepia wash?

not really, his real rules are kinda lame lol. Looks mean, dies like little girl. 4+ armor save, T6 W4, A3, I2 monsterious creature. Could and would most likely die in one turn of shooting. but it is 50pts! lol can bring a kannon too, but i will run it as a battle wagon

Looks very nice indeed comrade! I would second the sepia wash on the bone, has a lovely effect, I can't imagine a squiggoth brushing his teeth regularly...although the mental image of grots with brooms and gallons of toothpaste is rather amusing.

Well, i applied the wash, and it made the teeth a not to dirty look. Looks excellent. I know some people over rot their teeth to the point they dont look like they work any more. Next up is his jaw piece, and then finishing the hodah.

That is pretty cool looking. You did a great job on the skin and making the plate fit in!

hilarious thought... but i guess there is always a time after a certain sleigh related project...

So small update, working on the howdah, thoughts, comments, ect.

Looks good to me.

very cool looking construction... love the floodlights...

where is the weaponry going to be then?

Great paint job. I especially like the white stripe. Really matches the theme you are going for. Howdah looking great.

Thanks, still incomplete going to do more plating on it soon.

Viktor von Domm wrote:very cool looking construction... love the floodlights...

Thanks! i like them too, idk if i will give it a gun, but if i run it as a battle wagon it would have 4 big shootas, 4 rokkits, 1 kannon. Plus troops. If squigg, just a kannon of some type + crew.
