[code]Hey dudes.

I converted and painted an Ork version of the King Raven, featured in Gears of War. It was for last years 40k doubles at Warhammer World. Our team was the "Gears of Waaagh"

Also painted but not featured on the thread are the Gears... Ork Nobz. I'll post them in a few weeks when I get the pictures sorted.

I'm not to happy with the quality of the pics but hopefully you'll like the orKing Raven!

CC welcome...

Thanks dudes!

This is sweet, what do you play it as?

A Battlewagon, open topped! It has 4x Rokkits and a Zzap Gun! My opponents are generous enough to ignore the fact that it stands on a flying base thankfully!

In future games i've considered using the warkopta rules from the FW books but I like the av 14 too much!

Mother of god...
how, how did you make it?

Thats amazing!!!

I think I found next project.

Great I think it would have looked really impressive with the Twin Rotor design from the King Raven, but other than that it's pretty perfect.

That is mazing! You could use it as an Ork Mine Layer?

How did you build such a glorious machine?!
Thats Awesome

Rule of cool, and that is with out a doubt a cool model. I am also curious of how your made it.

Thanks dudes, I really appreciate the positive feedback!

I found a Sea King helicopter at an appropriate scale, moved the landing gear sponsons forward and bashed on the battlewagon grill and went from there.

It the pride and joy of my ork force.

Love the rule of cool... I should use that more often!

Thats again for all the nice things you've said dudes, makes it all worth while.

And this may sound odd, but if you built more, and played them as Battlewagons too, and built smaller ones based on the trukk......then heck, if you wanted, you could have a whole force of Orks that used helicopter transports. They would play as the usual, but just look way cooler. ^.^

It's not odd really, especially if I had a full on Coalition of Orky Goodness (COG), unfortunately I've only got 10 Georks!

I've made a looted wagon with a Killkannon that called the Centork! Its not on the same level as the orKing Raven though!

Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!

this is uhmazing!

Twin Rotor is very Gears 3...

If you look at a larger version of that picture, you will see it has two rotors in a coaxial configuration.

Not saying it ruins the model or anything, it's just a design I personally like and would have liked to see.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

And I have seen a lot of things.

Nice job, looks like one of the new Ork Flyers to me!
I agree with the idea of the all "Choppa" force.
Just think of all the fun of "Get to da choppa" "Do it now"

Got ya, I thought you were referring to the Chinook style twin rotor blade chopper in Gears 3! (Or was it the Shadow of Raam? can't remember now)

I love it! -Extremely orky indeed!

however, I would suggest you break up the grey of the hull with some weathering or different shades of grey/blue-grey on separate pieces that are riveted together. I would love to see more gears of waagh stuffs

Cant wait to see the gears (nobs)!

They'll be along in due course, just hope the pictures can do them justice!

Twin Rotor is very Gears 3...

Twin rotor is very reality...









EDIT:

Oh, by the way. The Kopta in the OP is AWESOME!!

Amazing. Just needs more shootas!

As promised, here are the Gears...

and not forgetting...

One of the Carmine's needs a speech bubble yelling "NOW WHO'S EXPENDABLE?!"

Pretty awesome conversions.

Wow, really impressive thread here. want to see more really

Two of my favorite things combined! Orks and Gears!
