Since it's been taking some time for me to get my army finished I figured I'd post what's already been done. That'll give me the motivation to keep going. So without further ado here come da boyz!

I did not realize that my images were so huge. Hang on and I'll fix that.

Here are some scaled down images for easier viewing.

Some other pieces

Your boys are looking good, giving me some motivation to crack on with some painting too!

I like the pose of the boy who looks likes he's charging into for a fight (first pic on second update I think), is he a standard model or did you re-pose him?

This is one of the few times that someone has done miniatures in a running pose well. Even GW sculptors seem to struggle wth this.

Far too often the models look like they are either about to topple over or are checking the sole of their boot for a stuck pebble.

These look great, keep up the good work

That's some nice work you've got going there!

Thanks mad_pies. All the running pose models I've done are custom. Some are done with some simple cutting and reposing others (like the one you commented on) I used some green stuff to sculpt a portion of the leg.

Thanks for the high praise.

Here are the bikes for one biker mob. They take forever! So many different little parts.

So I decided for my next project to tackle the Warboss. I didn't want to use the existing forgeworld model, although it is pretty sweet. So I decided to kit bash and use various bitz I had lying around. Originally I was just looking for a good way to convert the deff copta into what I needed. After a few designs I figured I would need a bigger base for the engine I wanted to use. I wanted to make it like the old style trikes. New ones look like a motorcycle with training wheels. DUMB! Anyway, here are a bunch of pics of the work in progress.

Here's a bit more progress on my warboss's bike. I mounted up the gun/engine piece and have done a little painting.
I like to paint as I go that way I can get all the little bits painting before they're unreach-able. I'm pretty happy with how its turning out so far.
I apologize for the blurry pics. Still working on trying to get consistantly focused pics of my work.

Sooo after a 'hammer haiatus. I have gotten back to the projects I left in the lurch during summer times. Now enjoy the finished product!

That's a pretty cool warbike; nice use of the buggy parts!

Hey thanks alot CommissarKhaine! I was glad I found a use for the buggy. Its actually one of the pieces that I hope GW re-does cause it just looks clumsy. Especially the figures that come with it.

Wow, really nice conversions, love the paint scheme too, cool Evil Sunz army you got there

Thanks Boyz R Us. Not really going for a specific tribe of Orcs. That way I don't have to tailor my army to one tribe. Though I was thinking of making each member of the nob bikers squad from a different tribe.

Your Orks look good - I love the running poses on your boys. Glad to see you came back to the game

Its been awhile since I posted anything on here. Fear not I have been working just not posting. Anyway these are some images of my loota boyz mob. Three are completely custom guns and the rest a just different combinations and custom paint jobs. No two orks are exactly the same.

Here are also some pics of the Battlewagon. I still have a few details I'd like to add but its pretty much the finished product.

Here are some pics of a couple of new bikers. The nob has a chainfist incorporated into a cybork arm. I also attached a space marine jump pack on the back. The biker boy just has a modified dakka gun.

Here's the most recently completed biker nob. I split an ork bike and a space marine bike apart and swapped ends.

Get to da choppah!!!

This guy is bad@ss man, I love his ride.

Nice use of Rokkit Pack!

A couple of biker boys popping the tires and gettin nuts.

New Nobz. 2 more Nobz and a painboy. The painboy's bike is actually a dark green, didn't show up well in the photo. Also his Urty Syringe broke the needle is just too delicate.

Biker boss. Whole lotta bitz went into the making of this boss (Ghorzhag Roadrippa). Magnetized the right arm to be able to switch out the PK for a BC. Very happy with with the result. Though his performance on the battle field could be improved.

Liking the bike conversions you got going on in here.

I really like this bold paint scheme you've chosen. Your conversions are great. Awesome stuff man, keep at it.

Here comes the looted wagon. Its a combination Trukk and chimera.

Great conversions, and I like the colour scheme too.

Thanks for the praise. Orks are probably the most fun for conversions.
