I haven't had much to do lately as m,y last lot of commission work was pointless as the client simply stopped contacting me so I've decided to let you challenge me.

I will attempt to convert the most popular vehicle voted for by you into a looted, orky vehicle. Just to include dreadknights you can vote for the upcoming grey knights stuff. Only 40k and no heavy tanks or flyers and no titans or stompas or anything that big, thankyou and try and make it hard for me. When it comes to chaos: If you want the chaos version of a vindicator for example then vote for vindicator please.

Also, I don't play orks, they just look good so I will be selling the vehicle once it is finished so if you play orks I would subscribe. (I am in Uk before you get excited about buying in US or anywhere else), so please subscribe and lets see what you come up with.

The poll will close after 21 days, but I will choose a winner as the 1st option to get to 25 or whichever is highest when the total votes reaches 125.

UPDATE: Reached 125 votes and the stormraven is the winner! You can carry on voting but we already have a winner; I will consider the results however when deciding what to put in the next poll for the next challenge.

That would certainly be interesting.

So far you can add to the top results:
Arachnarok spider: 1
Ork: 1
Greater daemon: 1

Just to clarify I am not going to actually convert an ork to look like an ork, but you never know I might try the others.

In terms of what's going to appeal most to potential customers right now, either a:
- Dreadknight, coz whether you love or hate the model, the idea of an orky looted one is just full of comic potential
- Arachnarok spider converted to 40k use, probably snakebite klan, would also be amusing. either just go for a cool looking model, or make it as a counts-as playable trukk or battlewagon.

15 successful trades as a buyer;
16 successful trades as a seller;

To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight.

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.

surprised to see most support is for stormraven considering how much some poeple hate it.

Anyway I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be buying the model whatever it is and using spare bits and plasticard mostly to convert the model.I have exams just as the poll ends so it could take a while but once the exams are over it will be pretty quick. I will paint the vehicle as well and will sell it as an auction on ebay. Don't worry I will post here and in the P and M blog and in swap shop when I register it to be sold. It will be for more than original models price as I wish to cut even as I'm doing his for the fun and the reputation, athough I'm not gonna turn down a profit, thanks for all the support and tell anyone else you know to come and vote and comment as well. Thanks.

I was actually thinking the other day; what if orks got their hands on a picture of the emporer and tried to imitate him (to show that ork thrones are better than humie ones), I may try this some time, possibly why the voting is still going on here as something to do. I'll post a link if to a P&M blog if I do.
