**WAAAGH!**

**warboss spinetwizta**

Good but not great.

Are those paintpot kans? Kindda look like they are with some card around them. I think they look pretty good man. Deffinetly get the job done thats for sure

**WAAAGH!**

yes they are GW paint pot kans on GW flying bases

**Slappywag**

Good imagination to think that up, very awesome!

*sings imagination land*

...

I like the two wheeler the most.

**Night Lords**

Im guessing this is for MWG?

I really like the design, but the painting of the actual kan is kind of dull to me.

**warboss spinetwizta**

night lords thats exactly what i ment

**KingCracker**

The could use some color other then metal. Remember, Orks like some random bright colors. Its the way we work. Even if its just the metal teeth painted something brighter, it would break up the dullness

**FreekyE**

Orkz love RED! It makes da boyz go fasta.

**Newt-Of-Death**

Looks good!

I didn't even think of doing anything to the modelling of my kans, apart from making a grotzooka out of green stuff and an old warbike dakka gun (looks like a big blunder buster!).

I thought mine were too dul aswell so I painted the piston'y parts lighter and splashed on my army colour of orange!

**Ultrafool**

looks Great to me, maybe I shouldn't throw away my old paint pots.

**Newt-Of-Death**

What is the whole paint pot thing actually?

I didnt get that, they just looks like killa kans to me that have been altered. Sureley paint pots are too small for killa kans?

If they are paint pots tho, im making an other 6! lol

**nurgling-hurder**

I like em. Very Orky construction!

Maybe pick out a little more detail and/or color being orks and all.

But i cant talk, my blood axe waagh in the making isnt exactely top class.

Good job dude

Nice work on the bone effect on the pole of the tall one by the way

**Thorgut**

I love these!
The use of bits makes them very authentic.

**illuknisaa**

They need more color but otherwise are pretty cool

**WAAAGH!**

@Newt-Of-Death

they are in fact paint pots, here is a W.I.P. pic

yes this was for the MWG kontest
I found a number of threads here on dakkadakka about "paint pot Kans"

I though the idea was great, asked on MWG forums if anyone liked the idea as well, many did, and a competition was born

As for the colors
I seem to always get comments about how dark/dirty my orks are, i chose black & brown as my army colors,

and decided not to use brown on any vehicles in my army

**KingCracker**

Newt - thats what I was talking about lol. Kans are tiny, and a pretty close size to an empty paintpot. Obviously this trick would be much to small for a deff dred tho.

**Kevinthehound**

Just started on some paint pot Kans myself. I'm new at this and sorely lacking in "bits" so it should be an interesting journey...

**anticitizen013**

The construction and ideas are excellent, but as mentioned the paintjob (while technically fine) is a bit dull. Need a bit more colours, IMO. Other than that... modelling wise, I think they look kick-ass

I especially like the one with one wheel... I can just picture how comically it would tear up Space Marines

I can imagine it looking something like a toy top, mixed with a dash of insane death dealing lol

**WAAAGH!**

thas one thing i was happy with s that thay are all different, although i did use the same rokkitz on two of them

i just didn'tb think the other rokkitz looked good, i also think that the without the deff kopta parts this konversion would not have went so well

im going to make more, but i got lots to paint first

**smart_alex**

I really like these. I think they are rather orky. More so than the ones from the blister. However a little more time on the paint job could probably make them pop a little more. A definate great job on conversion tho.

**slann**

These are great cause they are recycle friendly . which makes me happy .

**Valkyrie**

Good models, I like the idea of Kans on wheels.

**Newt-Of-Death**

Thats really class.

I must get sum of that white plasi-card stuff for future buildings. Just icked up a new pack of green stuff at an extortionate price!

Might have to venture into making all sorts of things like Deff dreads, battle wagons, stompas (yes they are all plural!)

**WAAAGH!**

if anyone was wondering how i did in the MWG contest, well they over-looked my entry

im really dis-pleased with this as i put them together in hopes to compete

now im left with a bitter taste in my mouth about MWG

**Kevinthehound**

You have, however, succeeded in inspiring me. I have my first "paint-pot" Killa Kan completed and am working on the second. I will post pics when I get three done.

Thanks for the inspiration!

That's ridiculous.

These are some of the few kitbash/scratchbuild Kanz that look like they could actually move rather than just being rooted to the spot.
Do you plan on making any more?

**warpcrafter**

I think they look great, a very inventive use of parts.

MWG made a mistake, his entry is up now.
