I've been playing orks for a long long time. I recently decided it was time to update/rebuild/replace my orks; again.

So with that said I will start my project log here and see where it goes. I plan to do great coat orks, cyborks, mega/meka dreads, etc, etc.

First off I'd like to showcase some great conversion bits I picked up from MAXMINI.eu

Cyborks made with Kromlech and GW ork bits. You can get them from maxmini here.















Here is a Cybork Slasha Mob, for use with the IA8 ork army list (or just use for nobs with cybork bodies) made from mixing the plastic nobs and Kromlech ork bits. For the legs I cut up some of the kromlech bits for variety.







I picked up some FW grot tanks. I love these little buggers! I built extra grotzookas for them as well.


Here they are fully painted.









Kromlech just release some turrets that just happen to fit the grot tanks perfectly!







They also look really good on the GW battle Wagon kit.





Here it is with the regular guns.





I also picked up this ork kannon from Kromlech. I plan to make a battery of grot kannons out of these.

Lovin the scheme on the Grot tanks and the whole Battle Wagon, those Kromlech parts do really fit in with the Orks don't they?

I really like them cybork's ,and the grot tanks are nice too,funny to see them with
Kromlech parts.

Ill be watching..

Amazing, I will be watching this seeing as I am in the process of building an ork army.

Here's my warboss

Some really great stuff here,I really like your conversions and I love the rust effects you've done...great work.

That rust effect is fantastic - mind sharing how you achieved it?

Really like the orks with the single wheel as legs.

Thanks.

For the rust I use several different techniques.

I primarily use pigments from Mig Productions. They have a dark and light rust pigment. I apply it in one of three ways generally.
1. I brush it dry and then use a sealer
2. brush it on dry then use Mig Thinner for washes to spread it around and get it into the recesses. The use Mig pigment fixer to seal it. You can also use this for making streas by letting the thinner flow down the side of the model with the piments.
3. I also use oil paints. I dilute them a bit then apply there I want streaks. Then I take a clean dry brush and brush the oil paints in the direction I want the streaks.


I hope that helps. There are some great tutorials on the web that can give you some good pics and all.

Next time I do one I will get some in process pics and try to write up my own tutorial as well.

Here's a good selection of my deff skulls army. This army was built for the previous edition of the codex so some of it no longer works but oh well.

Got these boyz finished up finally.
















And their big daddy...

I've got the kannon done. I included a pic with a boy for scale.

I really like this kannon and it fits in good with the rest of the ork support weapons.

Got some kans painted this past few weeks. Times been scarce so my updates are rather slow.

THAT BOSS IS F-ING HUGE! It's awesome but I'm a little sad that that gatling is better than mine:(
Those Ard Boys are really cool aswel.

Cheers

Wow, amazing work elotsip, love both old and new, you really have deff skulls off to a fine art, great conversions, kit bashes and painting. My favourites are all those great tanks though, really well done. For the fw grot tanks, could you tell us how you made the extra grotzookas? ohh and thanks for the Kromlech turret tip, very useful

got the grot mega tank done finally.

Hey guys, been slow going lately. I did manage to get a few hours to work on a little bit of stuff though.

I got the killa blasta assembled.




I also got my FW stompa built. I can honestly say that out of all the models I have built getting the belly gun to fit was the most annoying of all. It just did not fit right at all. I had to get my heavy duty heat gun out and reshape a lot of it to make it fit. Even then I had to trim some and I still need to fill in some gaps.






After lookinga at the bits I had left over from the stompa I realized that all I needed was the feet, body and power plant to make another. So I picked up the feet and body for $20 and I will just build the power plant/exhaust. I added a belly flame belcha. Not sure what I will do with the other arm; CCW, Lifta droppa, another deff kannon?




I've also been working on some boyz using kromlech bits. I really like them as they give the orks a more military feel to them.

Some really fantastic conversions in here. The Kromlech bits are really something. Also, rather creative use of topknots on that looted Hellhound. Never would've thought of that, myself.

Great stuff man like the Stompa alot

Got a pick of most of my orks. Missing from the pic are 1 scrap tank, 1 kill blasta, and 1 klaw stompa.

Really nice Ork stuff there. Inspiring paintwork weathering etc.

Very nicely done. Keep up the good work!

Looking great I especially like the blue ard boyz and the bases on the Kans

I picked up this model as soon as it was released from Maxmini and painted it up. I really like the kit. Its a great model and is fun to paint. I hope you enjoy it and pick one up if you are so inclined.


















Let me know what you think.

SWEET!!

Really great stuff, thanks for showing it!

Been doing more work on the orks lately. Finished up a cybork nob squad with doc, mek and waaagh banner. Also finished up 3 more kans and 4 grot tanks.

Here are a couple of PIP pics of the Dread and the grot fighta.






I'll get the rest of the pics up shortly.

Time for a big update. I complete my Astronomi-con army and thought I would post it all at once. Its 1500 points.
