This gives a good idea as to how and where these are going.

Thanks Dave, same thing about that Harrier-Bomma of yours.

I just found this post and read it from start to finish! your tanks and walkers are just super!! great job!!

Yeah cool...what paint is that? It looks like my P3 "Cold Steel" color

Really liking the look of the Kolossus Walkers. They are looking nice repainted. I've got a trio of them to be used as dreadnaughts -a bit small, but not too bad- along side my Spacelords Sardaykin Legionaires.

Oh the last run of GW before this new stuff came out, it is simply labeled gunmetal and is about all out. I have Mithril silver left and will have to find new metals like this Dave.

I am using them all as souped up sentinels with a higher base cost due to being able to have 2 main weapons, so 60base as the second hardpoint, then the costs of the weapons as in the codex. Of course if used in other games, they will also be usable as generic walkers/legged tanks.

The new metal base colors are completely badass! Runefang Steel is the new high-pigment boltgun metal, Warplock Bronze is *Better than* Tin bitz!

No feedback?

I like how the walkers turned out. And something just hit me... I go for a similar camo-pattern like yours on my vehicles. But I use Codex grey and Bestial brown with a thorne-like Black stripe to separate the colors. Very much like your pattern acctually... :/

Anyway, great job with them and the greatcoats!

Thanks DiDDe. Yeah a basic three tone camo I could have gone for a 4th color, but it would have been a bit over much.

Now to piant one more coat of red, do the attachments to their belts, and give ranks to the sgt's

The black line between colors always makes it pop!

Muddy feet, some "scrapes" and a dark wash after the decals are on.

Okay, inspired by Dave and other sources, I am using a base of tin bitz for the "scratches on the Dakka-MiG.

I may add more on other "leading edges" of plates and panels, and I will do some on the cockpit frame. Then the silvery stuff will be added.

Once you add the silver, lightly highlight the paint on ONLY ONE outside paint edge of the scrapes, it will give it a nice 3D effect

hey shaso! now after seeing the walkers... i truly have to say i love seeing them in your hands... wasn´t that easy to part with them but i see you do them a hefty credit!!! they look totally super! and i am now looking fondly forward to see you weathering them...! and muddy!

and well i hope the second layer of a lighter color for the bomma will happen soon... the tinbitz scratches i cant say i am feeling sympathic for... but i will wait some more

and when will those marines get their time for priming? by the way... the greatcoats look stunning with the added details... the red is a very nice detail color for these!

gosh...that is such a huge force... but the definatly are due for a good basing my sir!!!

So, about over 100 of the WF GC's, I have over a platoon ov Vostroyans, same with Cadians, some Valhallans mixed in, and now about 100 UAMC troopers. so I am guessing nearly 400 soldiers? Maybe 350? Support weapons, command squads, and all that. plus snipers. then the 16 walkers, and all the superheavies/tanks/APC's, and tractors with artillery and SPG's

Looks great! However for the highlight I meant the red or blue paint that was scratched, add a thin line of lighter red or blue on that paint edge (next to the rust) and watch it pop. Maybe give those scrapes a black or brown wash to tone them down a bit.

Ah, so some "worn paint and a dull wash.

yup i think this could really bring it over the finishing line then^^

I have a red that I watered, and it wound up looking like an "Earl Schieb I'll paint any car for 99.99" look to it, so that will be the worn paint zones around the "chips"

man this is a long thread finally made it through big bomma is looking great

Sky shark's looking great! now go buy more bomma sets so that you'll get more turrets and other funny and useful bitz! I know you want them

Okay, worked on the tail gun and "H" tail sections, got some rear edge of the wings done, but need to pic them later, for now

Where the tail guns will go

Basic pattern for the rudder sections (Upper)

[/img]


Lower sections added(Notice I used tube stock to join it all in)
[/img]


I was planning on placing the Lower angle of the "H" which will be where the "elevators" will be pointing inwards like below, it will help maintain a compact profile.
[/img]

OR does anyone prefer them sticking outwards?
[/img]

Can't wait to see what that's going to look like finished, stayin tuned!

I vote for the outwards-look, It makes it look like more "aggresive" or something in that way. Atleast that's my opinion.

And how does it look if you angle them so that the fins look like a "Y". With the upper part angled and the lower part vertical?

OUTIES!!!!!

Well, the longer parts are thinner than the straights, but it may be odd enough as a "Y" tail as opposed to an odd "H" tail shape patter.

AnUnearthlyChilde wrote:OUTIES!!!!!

So two for out. Any more votes for out or any for in?

I vote in, but only because 'out' is used a lot by the Imperial-designs from Forgeworld et al.

hello!!! you are chucking the stuff out like anything! the bomma looks very cooll... or should i say hot? cause i have to chime in with the others that for me he too looks like he is in flames...^^ but i like the look! and the shots were a pleasure to see... very dynamic!

the sky shark is looking good and you move on in big leaps it seems! and yes... somehow you should get more turrets with grotz for this beast!!!

Thanks again! It is a big beast of a Bomma. Gotta make a belly turret cut down for under neath It be under the cockpit area, I know, I am basically stealing a WW-II idea for a Jet powered aircraft with the turret under the cockpit and pointed backwards a bit,,,much like Ju-88 rogered a Phantom and B-24

i think with a big mek idea like this you can get away with murder i think... everything is doable so long as you make it look cool...which i have no doubt you will succed in!

Looks good Shas.... my only advice is to situate the belly gunner to the rear of the bomb bay, as that is where the majority of belly gunners were situated (if not all of them iirc)

I had thought of that but was looking more for the Ju-88 route. Except a turret as opposed to a fixed gun gondola set-up.

You should make an Orky Flying Fortress... That would be most epic, but i'm kind of curious what the size of your bomma is going to be when completed and the ammount of gun emplacements etc. General specs, if you know them anywho. Thanks Shas!

Well, this is a one of a kind work, but I suppose if I had the parts and sheet plastic another would be doable, (May not look the same) Still far from done and will need to order more plastic sheets for such things and Bitz It will take a while, or I make one in parts and make it a mold thing to cast in? Everything I do is seriously instinctual inspiration!

LOL! ATM=Automatic Teff Mob!

I used a sentinl canopy as a rear gunner position for the tail guns

Well, been doing some more work once the weather calmed down,. Due to his strategic location and vulnerability, the tail-gunner grot got this kind of enclosure to make him feel better(Honestly he was jealous of the belly/chin turret gunner)
[/img]

The business end of the tail gun and gunner's station, he stays plenty warm due to be close to the engines
[/img]


Fuselage needed some support, so it got it!
[/img]

[/img]



Pilot, I will make a flat dial station for his instrument panel. and Gray stuff around the cockpit area
[/img]


Supa-shootas needed some extra support too.
[/img]

[/img]

Also as can be noted, wings are getting work done at last, and I gave thrusters as well, so it will appear as the Big Bomma, Da Great White, has basically five engines!I am also considering that the ripped plate along the sides of the Bomma, I might find guns and give it waist gun positions.

Like i said! flying fortress . also your rear guns look a little mis matched, although i've never made anything ork-ified so maybe its part of the scheme. Lookin great so far!

Man! That is looking great Shas! Did you base the fuselage design on the FW Fighta-Bommer? The toofy intake is my favorite part! And yes, the more oddly-placed turrets and bubbles the better IMHO! (shame to waste an armored sentinel top though)

This pic makes it look ALOT like a great white With it's downswept wings and mouth-looking air intakes. And my instant thought after that was that it would look great if you made some sort of a fin on the back of it. To really make it look like a shark. Just a small one so that it doesn't take up to much of the gunners view.

And the rear turret looks great! really cleaver use of a sentinel cockpit there my friend

will the supportive straps be seen in the finished version...confuses the gentleman out of me^^

but i guess i have to be patient wth orks...^^

but you do march on even tho the weather seems to try to get you all from doing hobby work...

Also loving how much this thing looks like a shark, could be like a tau piss take seen as all there flyers are fish. Anyway really cool want to see it finished

@ WH40KPicasso: Yep, orks will scavenge and slap anything together, just so long as they can think it to work it will!


@Dave: Well, I was using the FW Orky FB as a basis, but they rounded it up a bit, I did wind up with something bigger than I anticipated. This will indeed be like a flying fortress, and that sentinel lid was combat salvaged! Me Meks nicked it fair an' skwair!


@DiDDe; Okay, maybe a small fin, propped up with more of the plates I will be adding rivets to all of those!
I thought it was a good way for the meks and oil grotz to go with it.


@Vik: Oh yes, and they are plates that will have rivets of course! Night work is cooler than day work.

@Bigfish: LOL! My Orks are very irreverent if anything else.

Very nice paint job on that plane shas! Rust marks and such look great and the reds are both deep and vibrant. Nice work.

Now of course, we could not leave the rods naked as it were, so I fashioned 4 same shape panels.

I had to work some sort fo control surface like appendage to the main wings! Especially with the left overs from the Dakka-MiG.

Tail section looking coherent, and done so fast too!

Both sections about ready for attaching to the fuselage!(Well, still in assembly process to be honest!)

Both wings looking orky yet almost ready!,,,what is that odd shadow behind the ripped armour plate?

Since some asked nicely, yes, I did add a central fins so that WAAAGH!!! Magnotz can Pishle at the Tau a wee bit! I even gave a nicki out of it off the trailing edge for effect.

Next, Gray stuff and panels for the tail control surfaces, and a front windscreen for the Pilot

Interesting wing arrangement. Looks good!

THAT ^^ is badass sir!! Looking great!

Don't forget some "repairs" on the leading edges of the wings here and there, especially where the Grot gunners have shot them out ala Dr. Henry Jones

Hey.... grot gunners are the *least* likely to shoot out their own tail! No more than a guardsman or guardian would!

Grot racism... that's what it is!

LOL...yeah..racism..that's what I'm all about LOL

The Ork Bommer kit was purposely designed with the only firing arc from the one optional grot turret to be the tail, besides, not true, a Navy Gunner has a BS of 3

*grin*

Touche'

I'm pretty sure the only random Orky "damage myself" rule is for the Dive Bommer, you have to roll to see whether you hit the deck in a fireball, drop the bomb and pull up, or drop, pull up, AND the grot gets a shot. I don't believe there is an accidental shoot myself rule, I think it's just for fun

That bommer is looking good!

Shas! Your heavy bommer looks great so far! Very Orky!

I like the smaller bomma too!

And the walkers are looking sweet as well!

I can't believe it's been 4 pages since I was here last! Where does time fly?

shaso... that shark... now that is really takeing up shape! i was a bit hesitant at first... the recent update even got me at first even more clueless... but after the final shots you provided you won me over...head over heel!

that thing will be stunning... they won´t even have to shoot all that dakka to kill off the mere guardsman...the look will strike enourmus terror in the hearts of punny humanz^^

the fin by the way looks top notch already... i really like the shape!!!

Oh yeah, the wings are from from done, the 2nd sections will be cranking upwards and give the span a wider deployment

Well, I will likely have big deflector patches on the leading edges of the tail, I patched the fin after it got bent in an accident.

Thanks Tipios. I back burnered it , but the original layout started in 2011.

See what happens when you disappear in the workshop? Thanks for the thumbs up, I call the smaller one the Dakka-MiG as I went for the MiG-15/17 look it vibed with. Ah, my IG now have a happy walker force of doom!
3 x Orcas(B-29 cockpits on legs)
6 x Sentinels
5 X Kolossus
2 x Grymns.

Now for the gray stuff work to begin! I also have to make a frame for the forwards windshield,,,likey use plastic baggy material stretched and glued in place and then 'ard coat painted on to harden it up a bit. I don't have clear plastic.

Oh no worries Vik, the dakka is mostly for enemy air craft, this baby drops heavy Big Bomms

But can it drop my Storm Blade? love it shas, keep up the awesome work!

I also have to add some tilted up wing sections now that the main wing is done, this will add a somewhat stuka like effect that I saw on an old Starblazer episode, Gamillons had the largets variety of carrier planes.

Progressing very nicely!

I'm loving the use of bitz man! Great Job!

Shas, go onto ebay and search for ork glyphs, you can get a gak ton of resin plates to weld, glue, and even rivet onto that beast of a thing!!! plus they are cheap from what I remember too!!!

looks great! the tail really came out great too. it looks very nice with the wings pointing inwards! HA! not to talk about the sharkfin on the back! man that really adds to the look! xD

i also think that the stuka look will turn out just as great as everything else on this monster has

but how big is it in overall? in width and length? is it about the same size of a marauder?

Thanks DiDDe, I think it is in the same are of size as the Mareauder or maybe Thunderhawk for size

That's what you need to do, loot a thunderhawk! although if you try to steal a thunderhawk your boyz my lose all of their currency in the attempt. i hear space marines don't take kindly to looting their rides! Also i dont think i've ever had large bits such as that just layin about... are you sure they're bits and not just a kit you misplaced and somehow didn't put together? lol anyway it's lookin good, can't wait to see some flames (rust) on that ork toof' bomma!

hmm... Marines don't like their stuff looted? Makes me want to do it even more then!

I don't like those nutless freaks using my Baneblades either

Dont worry we wont hurt it, just make it better.... all those squishy guardsmen inside the tank started to rust it out, so we put some crazy hardened battle vet space marines in it and now it actually kills things! and by things i mean orks.

Well, if I were to doa looted T-hawk, I would have needed a bit more plasticard, but I used that on superheavy tanks T-400 and T-300!

Not all Chapters remove the gibblies, but some do a chem treatment that avoids such "distractions" in the head as the brain is the most powerful organ for that. Well, the Space Vikings tend to leave that alone altogether. After all, when you slay aliens and monsters all day, you have to have something besides drink and stories afterwards.

That would be one hell of a dreadnought replacement

HAHA! @ Shas! LMAO!

Hey, hand me some material to work with and I will fire it off! Speaking of material, I almost forgot to post pics! Size matters!

Yep, at first I thought it was the right size, then I got looking at pics online of the FW fighta bomma and well, it became apparent I had a monster on my hands back in 2011.

Man it looks so much better with the new wing segment on!

I forgot there for a sec that you were going to to them there.. they look really too small when compared to the Dakka-mig and it had the same lenght
Can you please measure the wingspan on that thing now with the fancy new wingtips are in place

Great job anyways!! what's next?

Dakka-MiG wingspan= 9.5 inches or 24cm

Big Bomma Wingspan=17.5inches or 44.5cm roughly speaking

shasolenzabi wrote:Dakka-MiG wingspan= 9.5 inches or 24cm

Haha nice! that's only 0.5 cm shorter than the marauder

now that i saw the skyshark in profile i got an idea.. I love the fin it currently has and all. But what if you could squeeze in another fin? A little bigger one right ontop of the turret?
And I took the liberty of stealing your pic, get some training in paint and made a fast sketch of what I was thinking about.



And in this way it has a fin but can still rotate the turret Plus it looks really good with the smaller one at the back.
Well anyways, as I said it's only an idea but i thought it looked quite cool

LOL! I love the drawing.... you should put that in your sig!

Hey your desk looks vaguely familiar.... Oh yeah! it looks a bit like mine..... oh and i do believe i see some microsoft paint in that last pic or maybe the orks just imagined a turret gunner was there and he was, i hear if they're red they go faster? but of course that preposterous as any sane inquisitor would know!

I thought about it, but honestly the layout of the seats is not that clear cut, very assymetrical and a fin there would not truly work as well as you'd think.

Wait'll you see the power of WAAAGH!!!

Your "WAAAGH!!!" may be impressive, but can it stand up to my puny squishy guardsmen and my stoic and very tough but sometimes over the top Knights of Draigo?

looks great how the BIG B has developed shaso!

now after reading your response to didde... i am a bit sad... i like the bigger fin... i have thought it might need a bigger one too... tho the current one looks very good i think it is in need for a bigger one...

Wh40kPicasso wrote:Your "WAAAGH!!!" may be impressive, but can it stand up to my puny squishy guardsmen and my stoic and very tough but sometimes over the top Knights of Draigo?

You would face 5 mobs of various sizes of slugga/shoota/'ardboyz, trukks, battlewagons, one with a deffrolla, various buggies/skorchas/ killa kans, a deff dredd named "Huggah", burna boyz/Kommandos/ stormboyz/ several Nob skwads, the 5 bruvvas Notz, 9 deff coptas, a stompa, the dakka-MiG, da Big Bomma, and Lootas rounded out by a grot mob and a guy what might be zogworts and a couple madd docs All said about 7-8k of Orky goodness!

Even the Orks ned practical for getting into the cocpits as they do climb up and down into them. It was quite the bit to settle those stations where they were, so the only practical place for a fin was where it is.

Then again, if I ever do another Big Bomma, no two are ever the same....

argh.... he is trying to reason with me... *closes ears* "nananananana"

Oh i see, so i guess rounded out we're about even in points. It would be a battle for the ages! but me thinks that my shadowsword would slay your armor!

yes by all means... rivet that thinbg up for good^^

the turret will be quite good looking with that lil grot inside... i like how you went to cover the sides of that thing on the hull... what will it resemble once it is finished? cloth or will you add more grey stuff to make it metal looking?

and boy... you have quite the crowded workspace^^

Oh, I will rivet, and I will file the grey stuff or, put riveted plates over it.

rivet at your own will! *salutes*

Filed a bit, but now to work on plates

i bet this will help bring forth the more uniform look...tho...one couldn´t do wrong with non uniform look for orks^^

Still working on da plates, tedious work now begins! I even found some gunz to play at suppa shootas!

pics mate^^ we need them pics^^

Of course it is not yet done with plates, but I am almost there! 22 pics total on the cam coming to this site!

"I do believe iot had three engines with two boost thrusters sir."-Higgins.

Now That is what I'd call "skinning"- Great job!- your camera is focusing on the background stuff, that's why it's blurry. If your camera doesn't have the little targeting focus feature, then I'd shoot with a piece of paper or something behind it. It'll force the auto focus to work on the foreground image.

I will try that out if the focus keeps acting up Dave! Now if the Arkyletsyan boys were not wearing their hazard masks, you might spot some looks of horror on their faces witht hat monster flying around!

that comment would have the flying all right... if for the sole fact that i have eaten already with the kids at the kitchen table... be sure of that...

the pacthwork looks truly stunning... the orky feel is getting forth in big leaps now!!! and once the riveting work is hitting that beast it will be truly amazing!...

may i ask how you will rivet that? i have a suggestion... try to do a riveting pattern that has it two ways... first try to rivet it as if it was minit looking without the added patches... so regular lines of rivets and then rivet the patches in the needed pattern of the patches... i think this will add a great air of orkyness!!!... and you should definatly do something for your picturetaking... those pics do no credit for that hard work you put in with that model...!!!

LOL! Okay, so no flakes flying!

So, look at the plates and you will see how rivets will be applied some will be the straight lines from the looted Imperial materials, and then the plates will have their own.

Wing plates are done and so are the patches for the leading edges

The more full effect, I will do some areas in much needed gray stuff and rivet it in the next phase and it will then look sexy in black primer!

cool looking! what kind of riveting methode will you be using with this one? glue rivets again? or will you cut up rods?... actually for this one i would suggest the later... the rounded glue ones might look a bit out of place... tho with the mentioned IG salvaged stuff you could even use two sets of rivets...

I'm gonna have to go with PVA rivets as they are the thing I have the most of to work with.

i figured as much... and they are the fastest methode ever...

Like decorating a cake

that image sure fits ^^

Well, had i wheels, and the spare tubing of various sizes, I would have made it with landing gear showing as well!

d´oh... if you had said a word i could have sent you something with the walkers...

Viktor von Domm wrote:d´oh... if you had said a word i could have sent you something with the walkers...

Oh well, I have the model set with landing gear up, doors closed under the wings and tail section.

Should give it a little squiggly wheel on the back like old school bombers, or a squig targeting sensor

Very nice updates. Looking real good!!

Still doing rivets, a long and tedious process, nothelped by arthritis flare ups while squeezing the bottle just right.

oh... i bet that this is making it quite difficult... and there is little i could do to help you with something i could suggest... hopefully your artrithis gets a bit better soon to make this work more fun again!

Height= 5"/ 12.7cm

Crew, Ork Pilot, 3 grot gunners, grot navigator, grot rigger.
Main engines=3, Extra Thrustas=2
Armor plates and red paint job, Super heavy flier

now the last pics really show how cool that fighter is!!! and the patchwork look on that hide is very cool! hopefully you do something matching the coolness of that model for the base!!! no cheap selling that model allowed now!!

Well, I did find a place selling the GW flyer bases for cheap price. those have plenty of space to add details onto.

Looks like i'm gonna have to upgrade my tank now...

It might not work

You said might, which means you have doubt of your orkish heresy! where as the hammer of the emperor never strays from the skulls of his enemies! Skulls for the throne! Corpses for the Carrion Lord!! i mean...... HERESY! "cough cough" ..................walks away slowly..

I said it might work as in one lucky stray shot, but I will have lucky blue stripes and such on it for luck! It packs enough punch to crack any human tank alive! So, with the red paint job and armor plates and grot rigger onboard your tank is doomed!

I told you, it is the black, it does so much more for the looks than that bare naked white plastic, and the PVA glue goes on white, and goes clear like. Now for the next part to come. I must scrape down areas for the cockpits and add clear material sections to the windscreen. Then pain the pilot and turret gunner, add the navigator back in and red paint job it before the step after that.

Then pain the pilot and turret gunner

I love the overall lines of the design, make me think of an old and mean-tempered shark.

Thanks! It just came out that way as I went along.

Now for a quick change, Greatcoat troopers from Arkyletzya. Oh and a walker height comparison

Dood, only your paint bottles are in focus.

Some of the major group shots have the fellas in focus, the pics were just to show how far along they are, but I can try again.

Auto-focus can be a bitch, if you hold the button down halfway, usually you can set the target thing.

Tried that, the cam is a bit old, and I did the push the target, discovered it slipped to shake free instead of flower.

Now to reset that flower image and try again

Yes, the one base is so flat, and the old Warzone mini comes with the 2 25mm bases to put the thing on.

No, I have pics to take of it now/

Yeah, I can get it cheaply as my roommate works at Lowe's.

Okay got the better filter on the cam back to normal.

Flower is Digital Macro...you only want that for very close-up stuff (like individual minis). If you are doing a group shot like that, you want it on auto, just back off and zoom in a bit to lock-on to what you want. Don't press the button all the way down until the Kommando Khaki on that bottle is blurry

The last shot is the best so far, you'll soon have it mastered.

aye...those look good again^^

Well, I hope the Big Bomma will look better now. I have added and used up all that red gore! Now for the lucky blue stripes as the next part but the plates and crew have their colors, and clear plastic cut and added to the wind shield.

The top deck ladz!

well... with the addition of red to those plates... the plates now look very cool!... tho i am atm not that taken in with the metal looking ones... too cheerful for my own taste... but i think there will be some development still done by you

They gotta get that rusty washe effects I think it will all work the same once this bomma get's the treatment I gave Dakka-MiG

More Pics! It didn't want to sit for the pic
[/img]

Now it behaved

The lower turret
[/img]

The afta burnahs
[/img]

They all will get treatments, and the afta burnahs were glue container caps!

scratchbuilding form junk is an art in itself... and it is done with the best of tools... the brain^^

the after burnahs look very good...

and of course it can sit still... it is red and it can fly... what is it supposed to do...write a poem...? nawww... they need to mosh something^^

With all the weaponry and ordinance this baby packs, no way can it sit still! wait till it is done and ready for the out door pics!

yes... he said da magic word^^

Well, I do want it to have some cool dynamic pics as the MiG got

Wow Shas! Great work! The rivets really rock under the red!

er... care to explain why you always refer to those blue parts as the happy blue stripes? what makes them happy? i always thought blue stands for sorrow and dark moods

and these blue details really flash... looks like lightning!

You really came a long way with this monster. So what are the rules for this anyway?

Not happy blue stripes Vik, they are "Lucky" blue stripes, in Ork minds, the color blue(which Lootas paint on themselves) are the derivation of luck, or favor of Mork, or possibly Gork, to favor their endeavors in the case of my vehicles, to not get exploded too easily.

Wh40kPicasso wrote:You really came a long way with this monster. So what are the rules for this anyway?

I have some stats for it a few pages earlier. Pretty much follows the superheavy flyer rules

ah... ok get it... blue= lucky... and i thouht green would be the lucky color...

Viktor von Domm wrote:ah... ok get it... blue= lucky... and i thouht green would be the lucky color...

Green is just the color of being Orky!

Blue=Luck
Red=Fasta!
Yellow=Rich like Bad Moons Orks.
Black =Goth Boyz as it is easier to maintain
Any other colors are purely decoration.

So, my planes and vehicles all are fast and lucky!

well with those two options the rest is ripe for the picking^^

It looks great Shas! Well done man!

dsteingass wrote:It looks great Shas! Well done man!

Well, now for the decals after the "rust" and the Afta-Burnahs get that heated look.

have you considerd some flames or burning smoke? i bet on the engines this would look totally cool...

Viktor von Domm wrote:have you considerd some flames or burning smoke? i bet on the engines this would look totally cool...

Yeah, and quite orky too imo ;D

How do I not have this thread subbed?

Fixed that.

WOW! Amazing work man! That's the sickest amount of rivets I've seen in a while. Really well done all around, really enjoy the random scraps that look haphazardly hammered down.

Makes me wonder what Chaos has in store for Flyers. Rumor is that it's a Hellblade, and it's pretty lame looking, way more Dark Eldar than Chaos... Ugh. I've seen some pics. Not happy. If I wind up going the 'Flyer' route I'll be looking at converting some kid's ruined Stormtalon from eBay.

Yeah, even more rivets than my tanks!

Thanks Skalk, I guess most likely would be okay with a chaos version of the talon. DE flyer looks like something from a Batman movie, the chaos stuff they make seems so,,basic.

nice antenna... but why? they fight like each one is an army in itself... no coordinated fighting style... just yell and charge... so they are probably not talking to other fighers... but well... such an antenna gives a professional look

With such an antenna they can fool their enemy into thinking that they are coordinated

and then they'll get really scared!

hmmmm..... scary indeed...interesting train of thought.... i´ll be wary of you

Partly coz it looks cool on it

Some Orks like to play with radio messages to mess with the Imperials.

Orks can be very cunning!

dsteingass wrote:Orks can be very cunning!

Exactly! So, the antenna is for cunning plans and to listen to their favorite music too!

Okay, working on the "bared metal to be rusty, and have the look all love.

Still, more surface areas to work on, and then the vomit brown and chestnut wash for the effect I achieved on the Dakka-MiG

should brush the angles of the bomma with the rusty effect, or with a metallic to give it a worn look. IMO. Other than that the only comment i have is.... Orks are like star wars imperial storm troopers, they're not very coordinated, they shoot poorly, there's a lot of them, they use teeth for money....oh wait.. anyway what i mean by all this rambling is..don't smoke the fungus.. errr Great job on the BOMma Shas!

now that you mentioned them.. i think this pic fits pretty well

HAHA That is awesome!

I was just looking at that exact picture earlier..... LOL

DiDDe wrote:now that you mentioned them.. i think this pic fits pretty well

You stole that from bubble

I thought it was hilarious so i snatched it from her tumblr yes ;D and now that stormtroopers came up i just thought i'd post it and share the laugh.

i'm not a bad person!

you sure about that DiDDe?

Oh I am just adding the spots that the cheap Ork paint fell off from during flights. I was thinking of adding some worn spots along the angled joins.Not totally as then it would make it look like a huge crystal pillar with wings!

I saw that done to Tau crisis suits and felt it was rubbish t hat someone did not get the idea of doing that at strategic area of showing wear and tear, they wound up so uniform I called the gem-Tau suits.

it will be interresting to see that beast after that mix of wash....

Lootas love to wear blue face paint to help them get away unharmed with their Looting
