Found a rhino and a land raider in my neighbours trash (noticed a bunch of 40k boxes while walking by). So I figuered what the hell, why not make some battlwagons/looted wagons. Also picked up 2 kan boxes and bashed'em together to make deff dreads. I picked up the orks from the black reach box set off my buddy. I also grabbed a box of lootas/burnas and kit bashed with the black reach boyz. More pics to come.

Another Goff army brethren cheers!

Love ya mek models. Though I regonize alot of those parts from a Stompa Kit. Got anything painted yet curious to how ya gonna do goff. Though they are ment to be white/silver and black. The loads of black makes me feel like I didnt paint something. Looking forward to what you display.

Gonna paint them primarily black with white skull gliffs and white teef. Heavy use drybrushed metalics.

Wow. Now these are Orky.

They're just simply fantastic. I love the looted wagon especially. Can't wait to see the rest of your models and some paint on them.

Thanks for the kind words gents. The painting has begun, should have some more pix up soon.

I just wanted to go on record as saying all of that looks awesome! Soopr Orky and very killy. I can't wait to see it all painted black.

Waaaaghh da Goffs!!

Loving the Conversions. Can't wait to see them painted.

Got the vehicles about 50% done. Also started painting my cutsom big mek. Magnetized the arms so that I can give him a kff or a shokk attack gun. Also made it so I can give him a skorcha on the left arm. The last addition was a twin linked shoota for the right arm so I can also use him as ghazghkull. I don't really like the whole front of the skullwagon being white, I might end up painting that black again. Still lots of details to paint, going to add a lot more rust and a crapload of black wash to everything. Anyway, more to come. Stay tuned.

Lovin the skull fronted rhino. "Kinda hot in these rhinos..."

Well the first half of the army is done. All that's left is to paint the infantry. Painting orks is really different than any other army, it's nice to do some weird abstract rust patterns instead of the usual precise stuff. I'm happy with how the battlewagon came out, can't wait to get it on the table top and run some stuff over. Not as happy about the skullwagon now that I realize how crappy looted vehicles are. I'll probably just run it as a truck or something most of the time. I made some modifications to the warboss so now he has a kombi-skorcha. I added some more gore to the saws and other close combat weapons.

Nooo goblin green bases!

Love your work though mate. You've managed, deftly, to avoid the trap of sticking random bitz onto a vehicle and calling it looted. You've managed to be artistic with your anarchy.
I think the whiteness of the rhino really works too, especially as you've added a bit of weathering to the edges.

Great conversions, especially the Stompa-faced Rhino. Is it just me or are those Deff Dreads built up from Kanz?

That Big Mek rocks! I love the SAG... if that's what that giant cannon is. The close combat arm seems dwarfed compared to most of the other arms, though. The paint looks great too. Very Goffy.

Thanks guy, it's been a learning experience for sure. Heh, no one seems to like the old school eavy metal bases. What would you reccomend instead of goblin green?

Yup, kitbashed 2 boxes of kans together to make'm. What's cool is there's a lot of good bitz left over and 3 sets of legs, one of which I used to make my big mek.

It's definitely a shokk attack gun . I might have gone a bit overboard in size but it's orks afterall, they're not subtle creatures. The chainsaw arm is a bit small it's true, I guess it helps to exaggerate the size of the other arm. Thanks for the kind words

AWSOME

love the trukks and the battlewagon!

wait... you found 40k models... in the trash?!?! Who throws away models!?! their conversion privileges should be revoked!

Wholeheartedly approve of the work on the mek and the rhinoskullion there.

BlackMojo wrote:wait... you found 40k models... in the trash?!?! Who throws away models!?! their conversion privileges should be revoked!

I'm thinkin it must have been like buddy's parents cleaning out his room or something. It was all the 40k boxes that made me dig through the trash.

Finally got off my ass and took some pix of the infantry. It's not a huge army by any means, I struggle to make 1500pts out of it. I'm hoping to add more lootas and burnas, definitely more nobz with meaner toys and maybe some kans or buggies. I was originally going to finish the skin with a final wash of bedab black for a nicer gradient but for some reason I'm liking the more cartoonish sharp line look. Haters will hate about the goblin green bases but I just can't fall out of love with the old school eavy metal goodness.

These look great, well painted and with some nice looking conversions!

Especially loving that looted rhino

Your looted rhino and what looks to be a battle wagon are outstanding. Great lookin goff army so far.

Thanks for the kind words gents. The skullwagon seems to be a real hit.

The base edges are quite literally the only thing in this thread I don't like. Fantastic work on the wagon-bashes, especially.

AHH!
This has made me what to start an ork army.
God D*mn it

You got a very nice painting style there.
Any plans for Apocalypse?

Maybe, orks are definitely full of apoc potential, gotta ask my wallet about that. I'd love to make my own mega dread.

I'd recommend the goblin green, i think it looks great. Your boyz are quite dark, the white glyphs/checks, green skin, metal and the grass on your bases are very striking because of it, and i think the gobbo green helps the effect.

My favorite so far is the big mek for sure

Yeah, Keep the green. It really makes them pop. I love all the little Tau bits in there. You manage to make them look orky and nearly unrecognizable.

Great work!

Thats the exact way I paint my Orcs lol, I gave away my orks so someone could have an army. I never won with them but I loved playing them, great looking looted vehicles. I will be watching this thread.

Well after the bitz trading on sunday I managed to get my hands on some much needed shtuff. I got a soulgrinder for 20$ and it's now a mega dread. Worked my ass of gettin it done, took almost 4 hours. I got some lego wheels off a buddy which helped me finish my warboss on a bike. He's a little small but the bike makes up for that, pretty much had to use a 60mm base for him. Made a warbuggy with some random parts I got on sunday. Made a killa kan. I also built a painboy and some nobz with power klaws. And then there's another pile of assault on black reach boyz to paint. Gonna start painting'm tomorrow.

Going with goblin green bases can be quite distracting when looking at a darker set of models. For your orks, the skin and the bases the parts that are really attracting attention the most. It might be worth your time to do a quick photo edit to see how they might look with a different colored rim, I would consider black thanks to the basing color you've gone with.

Looking good overall. I would caution against drybrushing larger areas with metallics as it starts to become a little 'speckled' in a few spots. I would go with solid metallic washed with badab or devlin. It gives a much better finish and gives a visual 'density' to the area.

Nice to see ork skin being the focal point

Which green are you using for the base?

It looks like neon green , i could use those for making machine lenses on tanks and such

I really like the contrast between the green skin and the dark/black armour. Awesome work

Sweet rides!

Goblin Green bases are where it's at, especially with Orks. They tie everything together nicely.

Crablezworth wrote: Worked my ass of gettin it done, took almost 4 hours.

Now I don't mind all these talented peeps on dakka, but do they all have to work so quickly too, and then complain about how long it took

Excellent work my man

Kan has a lovely 'grot' look to it.

Love the way the buggy and the trike both form a whole from a disparate collection of parts.

Kudos to a proppa big mek.

Those are awesome. Great work. The bow legs on the mega dread look a little funny for a goff army, but I'm willing to except it as orky teknology. Those bikes are amazing! All the bits in all of your work blows my mind.

I've managed to paint the mega dread, warboss on bike and go-cart with skorcha. I'm still workin on the rest of the stuff I gotta finish. Here's some pix that a buddy of mine took yesterday. Should have more up soon.

looking good!!

Thanks guy

I should have more pix later tonight.

Looking good with some paint on. Megadread is freaking me out a bit now, it seems to remind me of a bipedal spider for some reason (looks in vain for a 'shudder' orkmoticon )

monkeytroll wrote:Looking good with some paint on. Megadread is freaking me out a bit now, it seems to remind me of a bipedal spider for some reason (looks in vain for a 'shudder' orkmoticon )

I just need to add a few more eyes

See, that's the weird thing, 2 eyes, 2 legs, 2 arms, fangs are all wrong, but it still makes me think of those 8-legged spawns of chaos (there's no way they're natural - they've got far too many limbs) for some reason.

Ok so I finally got around to an another update. Lots of new vehicles. Didn't really get any work in progress shots so everything's already painted. I built a second battlewagon. I carved up the land raider crusader from my daemonhunters army just to make it. It doesn't get much orkier than that. I added 5 magnetized hardpoints to the battlewagon so I'll have some choice of how to arm it. I picked up some buggies/wartraks/trukks off of 36Dice and and magnetized them up too. I love the old school trukks. They're a bit small so I only intend on using them for 3 strong nob squads. I built my last deffkopta and decided to go the twin linked kmb route just for the hell of it. All I'm looking to add now are more boyz, possibly a few of the newer trukks, some more lootas, a few more burnas and definitely more nobz. I also wanna build about 3 lobba's just for the hell of it. I really wanna keep my lists as mechanized and not too heavy on the big boyz squads. Anyway, enjoy the pics.

Awesome work!!

sorry however, u'll have to add me to the list not liking the green bases... maybe see what 1 is like with Graveyardearth prehaps? Look how awesome the last few photos of vehicles came out on the simple grey/ash colour maybe try that? Alot less distracting from the green.

Love that Mega dethdred, some reason it reminds me of a big metal evil frog.

Crablezworth - please take this in the nicest possible way, but I hate you. I actually hate you.

You're me, but better. I collect Orks, Daemonhunters and Tau too. And I've just built a looted Battlewagon. And now I feel I should take a hammer to it and start again!

You, sir, are very, very talented.

Here's my first effort at an Orky looted thingy..




(for the record my Orks get a green base edge, DH get Liche Purple and Tau get Red Gore)

On their own I can see why they might seem distracting. Once they're on a battlemat however it really works for them.

That's a badass kitbash dude! Extremely orky!

Haha thanks fella. The next step is to put a platform on the back. Possibly some sort of wrecking ball.

Though my friends have all pointed out that it's sort of got a cock, so it should have two balls...haha

It kinda reminds me of this thing from Terminator 2:

Yeah if you could get a big platform on the back that'd be wicked. It does look a bit like that terminator.

im really enjoying how this is working out! great work

Man! a lot of good stuff! WOW!

Added some new shtuff to the army. Finally got a full battery of lobbas. Lobbas are pretty sweet, for 9pts you can get 3 ammo runts which each allow you to re-roll the scatter. I've built some piles of missiles on 28mm bases to count as ammo runts. I figuer it makes more sense than a grot model. I built my first of hopefully man ork themed objectives. I used some bitz I got from lutnit, I think they're from the warhammer giant box. I built a second warboss, I tried my best to differentiate it from the first one I built. It's still based on the assault on black reach warboss, I tend to avoid metal models like the plague. I built some nobz with big choppas. The new plastic nob box has to be one of the best gw kits yet, it has loads of fantastic bitz.

Homerun on the Lobbas - brilliant army you have there!!

I absolutely love your modeling. Your painting is great looking but it is the conversions that make your army shine.

The bases... ugh. Goblin green bases make peoples eyes drift away from the model. If you cover them up with your hand and look at them your eyes drift all over the model to all the little details and awesomeness. I think the bases are distracting and the army would look much nicer with a more neutral tone.

wow i love those rokkitz and mega dread

great stuff man. Oh and by the way the green bases look great!

BlackMojo wrote:wait... you found 40k models... in the trash?!?! Who throws away models!?! their conversion privileges should be revoked!

I like the bases of the Lobbas and ammo runts and OBJ's - their color around the rims really fits the rest of the model.

I'm not a religious man but it made me wonder. I mean a whole freakin land raider in the neighbours garbage just as I wanted to build a battlewagon.

I really like the black and white - very Goff. Your modeling is off the hook and very inspirational. The Skorchas and the really big bow legged monstrosity are my favorites.

Where did you get the face plate on your Deff Dredd - the one that looks like a smaller scale of the plate thats on your battalewagon?

Which dread?

New wip shtuff. a Buddy of mine hooked me up with an assault on black reach dreadnought so I give it an orkification and voila a shooty deffdread. I managed to make a mega armored warboss out of some of the leftovers from a killa kan box, a stompa foot and an assault on black reach warboss. Next up is my count as snikrot model. I used the torso from the aobr warboss and a few other leftover bitz. His head a little small but I still like how he turned out. I'm really excited about the last new thing. It's an ork warkopta. The rules are from imperial armour 8. It's basically a lightly armoured open topped fast skimmer with a skorcha and a "rattler kanon", a shoota that fires 2D6 but if ya get doubles it runs out of ammo/jams. The main hull is made up of a stompa foot and the front of a landspeeder. I've also put some vdr rules together for it for bigger games giving it armour 12 on the front and side ala valk. I just got a valk stand for it in the mail today, all that's left is to magnetize it.

Love the wrecking ball shoulder pads

The mega armoured warboss and the WarKopta are really well put together! nice job on both of them.

Thankyou kind sir

Rock solid awesomeness.

Your converting skills for orks are pretty much the best I've ever seen! It's a shame you seem to have had a dose of 'powdery primer', but since it is orks it is not showing much in the final result. I would suggest that you do 3 things, first, hit the white with another coat, and use a sponge chipping technique on it after. Second, get a hold of some weathering powder and dirty em up a bit more. 3, I think brown base edges would work better, as they are very 2 color now, and switching them to brown would put more focus on the green skin of the orks.

Spectacular work so far, you are going to be inspiring plenty of people with that!

You continue to be awesome and create awesome things... God damn you

It goes to show that going through your neighbours rubbish pays off! Great work!

Nice work there!

More great stuff The warkopta is great.

I love powdery primer, fits my style of painting

What's the sponge chipping technique? How does weathering powder work, I've seen on forgeworld's site, never understood it.

Never gonna change the bases, old school eavy metal for life.

Thanks for the kind words guy, I'd like to know more about the weathering powder and the sponge chipping.

Fantastic conversion work, everything is so Orky!

Painting is very effective and the green bases rock - something different and highly individual, great to see!

finally got around to taking some pix of the new shtuff. Enjoy. I picked up some storm boys and through the magic of kitbashing added a few more.

that flier is siickk!! and these stormboyz are awesome! cant wait to see the stormboyz painted!

Bloody hell! That flying contraption is inspired! The stormboyz look brilliant, too, full of character. The objective markers are very nice too. Great "food" sign. The paint jobs are super goffy, too!

Looking good - especially the Stormboyz - any chance of some individual shots and perhaps a few more angles?

That warkopta is inspirational, just like everything else in this thread, I agree with araski it would be nice to see some indivdual pictures of the stormboyz

Stunning looking army Crablezworth, so many brilliant inventions/conversions/kit bashes, that warkopta is amazing, I want one!

Dude I play orks as well and I must say you have done them justice. You did not fall into the trap of just glueing stuff all over the place and calling it orky, it actually looks like the stuff you build could work. I LOVE the warboss on the bike, brilliant.

I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS ENTIRE THREAD! . . . . AND THAT'S THAT IT'S TOO DARN GOOD!

I'm supposed to be focused on my BA and all I'm thinking now is Orks Orks Orks!

Amazing!

Loving everything! The Goblin Green rims work really really well. Touch of old skool bought right up to date.

Looking forward to more!

I've been waiting to prime them for so long, weather doesn't wanna cooperate though :( it was -30 yesterday

This thread is amazing. I've been around Dakka for a while and I have to say that this is quite possibly the most Orky thread I've seen overall. If it's not, I can't think of one off the top of my head that I liked more. Your modeling skills are pure madness, your painting skills are inspiring, but what really sells it for me is your photography. You know how to take a great picture, and the atmosphere you create really adds another level that the model alone could not accomplish.

Absolute pure awesomeness and over-the-top win. You are obviously a profet for Mork an' Gork both.

I've been procrastinating on the storm boyz, mostly just because I can't see myself using them too often. I shifted my focus on to my nob bikers. I don't plan on making a "nob biker list" but I do think they're a better choice than nobz in a battle wagon, mostly because it's hard to slow the bastards down. It's been a while in the making but my bikerboss finally has an entourage. I went with only one power klaw and gave the rest big choppas. The painboy is the actual painboy model with a bit of modification. I gave the the painboy's circular saw to another nob to count as a big choppa. 2 of the bikes are based off of chaos bikes I grabbed off a buddy. I'm happy with how everything turned out, can't wait to see how they do on the battlefield.

Cool!

LOL you find 40k trash and turn it to beauty.

Very nice. Love all the conversions. The Hover Watch-Ma-Jobbie looks feathing sweet. Really like how your army is coming together.

I love the Warkopta, very orky and almost enough dakka

Nice stuff! I am completely in love with the warboss on a warbike it's amazing!

ALL OF THE STUFF IS SOOO COOL! this blog is just awesome model after awesome model. even your objectives are awesome. keep up the awesomeness

Got some new ork shtuff done. Made a trukk that was a little more in league with the newer one. I'm pretty stoked on how it turned out. I also made another killa kan to fight along side domokan. I still gotta paint some storm boyz and my kustom battle fortress, that should be happening soon enough.

Very nice as per usual.

Arakasi wrote:Very nice as per usual.

Thanks guy

Got some more stuff painted, didn't have time to do any wip shots. First up is a big trakk with a supa-kannon which is basically a looted basilisk that can only shoot directly. The second tank is another big trakk, this time with a big lobba. Big trakks are a really cool addition to any ork players army. You can take them in squadrons if you have to, they have a transport capacity of up to 12 depending on how big their main gun is. You can also give them a ridiculous amount of weaponry. One version I was toying around with had 6 big shootas, 2 of which were grot sponsons. The third new tank is a new battlewagon. It's a little more in league with the official model size wise. It's only the second battlwagon in my army to get a deffrolla, in retrospect I really should have built all of them with deffrollas, hater's gonna hate anyway. The other two vehicles aren't new but I've added some grot riggers to them just for the wysiwyg haters. You can see the size difference between my old battlewagon and my new one. I added links to the dakka gallery at the bottom of each pic if you feel like voting.

Yup, I've ran it a few times so far. It can be really deadly as long as the initiative is on your side, otherwise it just gets shot out of the air.

My Guard army cringes in disgust the tragedies you have befallen their once worshiped war machines!


Haha, but seriously, that warkopter is awesome; really like that model.

Really well done with those conversions, particularly the dreads and vehicles,
you have managed to encapsulate the orkiness perfectly.

Everything looks so lethal! Everything looks so awesome!

This army looks amazing, it certainly has a feel that ork's should have on the battlefield.

Nice paintwork for sure

Been a while since my last post. I decided to build a second mega dread, I magnetized this one so I could switch between a killkannon and a supa skorcha. I also magnetized the claw arm just in case I wanna add a second killkannon later on. I also built another big trakk with a big lobba. I converted some more deffkoptas and gave them twin linked big shootas. Lastly I converted some gun trukks and gave them supa skorchas, these little bastards are pretty cool, they're fast and they can kill marines real good.

WOW thats some damn fine work there,my fave is the buggy but i love tank with a shed load of missiles.Thanks for posting.

shingouki wrote:WOW thats some damn fine work there,my fave is the buggy but i love tank with a shed load of missiles.Thanks for posting.

Yay, more goodies.

Big trakk looks cool, really digging the details on the rear, especially the hatch. Not so keen on the tow rope though, it looks a little taut and tidy for orkses

Great looking mega-dread again, the two of them look like Sumo wrestlers getting ready to go for it.

the two mega dreads together look seriously kick ass. would love to have them myself

My meks got da kno-wuts

Well here's some work in progress stuff. I decided my army had a severe meganob deficit so I ventured to change that. The legs and internal body are from the killa kan box, the bodies are made of stompa feet, arms are a mix of terminator arms and various ork bitz. I wanted my meganobz to be a lot taller than the old gw ones, it's important to put the mega in nob. I figuered I'd give them combi-skorchas, seemed like the thing to do. Next on the chopper I sliced up some assault on black reach boyz and gave them some shoota arms and some eavy armor. They'll probably prove to be a waste of points but they look purdy. I'll probably paint up the meganobz pretty soon, they shouldn't take too long.

The meganobs are quite interesting.
However, they look a bit wobbly in their tall cyborg bodys. : /

Then again I absolutly love your vehicles! Great work!

vera nice. You'd actually be surprised how useful that 'eavy Armour is- expensive, yes, but useful.

Orks were never fans of proper posture

I just worry that they're almost the cost of another boy. I definitely love the look of armored orks though, hopefully they pleasantly surprise me on the battlefield.

Love what you're doing with your Orks, however the base edge is just not the right colour.

They look quite nice on my gw battlematt. Old school eavy metal fo life!

Really nice stuff! I'm a big fan of the looted vehicles.

They DO look better on the mat! But I would've preferred either a darker green, brown or even black edge. Matter of taste I guess.

Got them meganobz painted up, they're lookin pretty cool next to my mega warboss. Can't wait to give'm a go hopefully next week sometime. I still think they'll be better once I make a mad dok grotsnik model but that's a few weeks out at least. Anyway, enjoy

Well green is my favourite color so there is some bias there for me.

Finally got the ard boyz painted. I also made my own version of mad dok grotsnik, didn't get a work in progress pic though. I wanted him to be similar to fabius bile, all about the venomous toxin's and cables and stuff. For his left arm I wanted a mix of needle and sewing device for re-attaching limbs. His powerklaw is from the talos pain engine, I wanted it to also look like it could inject poisons. I played him for the first time yesterday and I wasn't overly impressed. I think he'd be a good force multiplier in big games because of the cybork body stuff but his rules are little weird. He basically has like psychic rage because he doesn't even need line of sight to the closest enemy to have to head right for them which means it's pretty easy for the enemy to lead him away with a tiny useless unit. I had him with 3 meganobz in a trukk and put him in reserve to try and avoid some of the down sides but it didn't really help. Anyway, still happy with how the model turned out.






I've included links to the pix on the dakka gallery. If you like what you see I'd love you to rate the paintjob/coolness

very nice grotsnik, loving the talo parts, very cool

Thanks dude, it was blind luck that I happened upon that bit

'Ard boyz are looking pretty nice, like the bandolier over the shoulder pad look.

Great Grotsnik, I'll have to look out for a talos if that's where the claw came from.
