My 10 year old sister has become interested in 40k and I've bought some warbikes and will be getting AOBR for her birthday. Unfortunately, she lost some parts for her ork bikes, namely some arm pieces. We came up with the solution of making it look like he replaced his arm with a bunch of guns.

This is the final product.

Lol, madness..orky madness!

Love it..only an ork would think a gun for an actual arm would be a good idea..

Cool looking conversion. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I'd say that's an ork alright.

looks good and as mentioned, fits the ork theme

I do have some extra arm bits if you need them though

In all honesty if I would allow your sister to make an account i would because thats a brilliant idea!

But that would be considered a sock puppet account sad face :(

Great idea though! But you can never have enough dakka

Great idea though! But you can never have enough dakka

She's been asking to make an account, I might just do that.

did she paint that ork? if so, bravo. thats alot better than I did when I was 10

That's what I was about to say

Basic neatness seems to be there, which is great, and the base colours look pretty solid - but all that doesn't matter with the amount of Dakka on show

Yes, she did all the painting. She picks up on artistic stuff quickly.

Wow thats a great job! Looks very good!

Here are the other two.

Look like some nice washes on there.

With 10 years I wouldn't have been able to paint in that quality, really cool My stuff from when I was 13 looks terrible and much of that has already been dumped into the acetone jar. *g*

Now for 10 that is ACE! think of what she will be doing in 5 years time with more practice!!

Needs more dakka.


(it had to be said. However, those are pretty darn good for anyone, even more impressive that she's only 10)

Wow that's really impressive for a 10 year old, and regardless of age, its a pretty decent start for someones first ever model. Congrats Miss Nobody

Only an ork would think he could drive into battle only over using his knees to steer.

Wow they look great too.

Wow, very impressive, that's better than i do now.

Wow. For a 10 year old that paint job is rock solid.

And it that a Lego gear I spy behind the gun arm?

Nicely done. The girl's got talent, I wish I could model & paint that well at 10!

It was a small cog I randomly found on the street.

That's a really promising start for a 10 year old! Some of the stuff I painted when I was 10 is really, really hideous; these Orks most certainly aren't.

She's going to go far

Impressive stuff.

amazing!

Loving those bikes. Ork bikes just look so cool.

Cant believe a 10 year old did that. Thats just not right

She really does have talent. That's very, very good.

Why can a 10 year old paint better than me? Why!
