Yes! the pipes are so totally orky! ...Makes me grunt

QFT... though I wasn't going to say anything ;P

neil - It's not all sitting around pinging elastic bands at toy soldiers around here you know


dsteingass - Surely not. Hmm, something seems backwards here, was that a time-quake ? Thanks anyway


CK - Thanks. Metal was originally planned to feature a bit more in this force, but Arakasi prodded me to try a bit more colour back at the start, and hey, whaddaya know, I liked it. I was planning red instead of black though


schank - Squigs and robotiks are always a good combination. And you hit the nail on the head with the smurf cod-piece. I avoided the temptation to add some nasty stains to it though.


vik - It's either that, or they sit around for years waiting for me to finish them. And I do mean years, I have guard and slaaneshi beastmen which are close to finish, but haven't seen any love since well before I joined Dakka.


GG - Thanks man, bionik armpits FTW


Gits - Best use for those pads as far as I'm concerned. Honestly, it took a while before I could bring myself to paint smurf colours even on an ork.


Scarp - Cheers bud. Now if only I could do it for more than just yellow or green paint


Gits (deja vu) - Hotwheels and Wacky Racers certainly an influence there.


vik (definitely deja vu) - As above


dstein (see above) - Always good to hear an appreciative grunt.


GG (guess there's a bunch of glitches in the Matrix) - No, please...feel free to express your smurf-rage here, we understand, we can help, we've been there...


Made up for the bonus stuff on Sunday by doing nowt last night. Went to bed early to help combat the sudden onslaught of snot. Did have a search around for a suitable body for a squig-hound for Waaagh Dakka. Don't seem to have the other old slaan hound body I thought I had, so having to re-think my plans a bit.




Ignore the snotling on cyber-rat, he's just looking for attention. It's not even a full cyber-rat yet.
I'm thinking swap the warhound head for an organic head and add a tail, either that or attempt to sculpt a squig-hound body to add tracks and legs too. I figure I'll probably start on this version, and if I'm feeling lucky at the weekend try a bit of sculpting. Or find that missing body.

I did actually click on your blog this morning, scrolled down for a while absent mindlessly, and then got confused and wondered whose thread I was looking at. The sudden rush of paint is very cool - nice brush work and very ork-stylie colours

Nice use of an old warhound

Hehe. Nasty little stains.

I do have to say thats one big cyber-piggie.

The squig goes RRRAAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRR! CHOP! CHOP!

Ily.

Jealous ! I always wanted that warhound and the reaver titan from Adaptus titanicus, I am sorry but that grot has no right attention seeking if not riding a fully cyberized rat , somebody grab him quick.

weety - Perfectly understandable that Don't worry I'm sure there'll be a sea of grey before the next venture into the wonderful world of technicolour. And thank alot, although I do feel they should have had a bit more care taken on them considering they're nobs.


CK - Well, you know I've used the legs, may as well use the body too - I know the dakka will get used at some point


schank - All the better to hunt grots with my dear.


KilroyKiljoy -


neil - Never got the reaver, just a bunch of weapons, but did like the warhounds. This was a 28mm army droid (from when they were called the Imperial Army ), one became an epic chaos warhound (the chain-wrapped legs) and one became a 28mm enforcement droid - the outstanding part of which was apparently the crushed coke can on the street corner base, at least, that was the feature everyone pointed to

Ok, guess I really should stop browsing through Dakka and go chop up some bits of plastic...

The monkeytroll goes CHOP! CHOP!

Is there going to be a grot riding that warhound? if not... Why not?

schank - Can't beat a good bit of choppin' now and again. Or quite often.

steve - Doubt it. Though there might be bits of grot featured


And so there was a little bit of chop-chop, followed by a bit of stikk-stikk.


Tankbusta



The rokkit launcher got looted from a HK missile from an in-progress chimera build. I almost went for all tracks for my tankbustas, but then decided I wanted a few on foot - or whatever they have in place of a foot. Needs some more detailing on the launcher and lenses put in place.


Shoota boy



That was going to be a small turbo-prop holding him aloft, but then I figured I needed more gravimetriks going on, so the props vanished, and there'll be a bit more detailing done. The spiky things on his arm could be part of the gravimetriks now, but originally this torso was heading for a boy who'd left the dok mid-operation, as he really wasn't happy with what was going on. He was just going to have pointless bits of metal and wiring attached - that'll probably still happen to some poor unsuspecting ork bits.

Till Frazzled hates weiners, make mine Dakka...


edited so you don't have to look at the same picture multiple times rather than multiple pictures

thats a nice looking rocketlauncher arm

Floating orks! What the Bloody Mary. That'll put the wind up the other races.

That tankbusta is cool as hell. Love how you have done the head so far. has its own built in rebreather/vox. Nice use of the SM backpack bit.

i too like the tankbusta... i might have to steal that goggled look... the built is rather simple there, what with no real head at all... you got suddenly poor and have to cut on heads?^^ that rebreather is a part of a SM packback? cool idea... this has to be further explored!!!


vik

Shoota boy is cool, but that tank busta is pure post apocalyptic!

Wow, I love how you've done that rocket launcher, fantastic! The shoota guy is great too, but I'll reserve judgement until you've got the rest of the gubbinz on him

Love the tankbusta, and I find the idea of an angry ork stomping off mid-operation highly entertaining

Wow. I've been gone for a few weeks, doing college stuff and what-not, and I come back to this. Thank you for making my return worth while.

I was starting to wonder if the color scheme for your orks was gray and white.

By the way, I love the tankbusta and the shootaboy. The shoota boy looks like he's in agony because he's no longer able to use the toilet. Where does it all go???

Rogue - Thanks man, like I said it was built as a HK, but as that particular chimera has seen no love for several years the grots decided to grab it.


weety - I was going to ask what you were doing up at such a ridiculous hour, but I think that's been answered in your blog


schank - Cheers. I liked the look of slurpee-boy's head, but wanted to change out the wiring for something else this time round. No self-respektin' boy wants the same bits as another.


vik - Hey, the less heads I use on the boyz, the more heads I have to play with elsewhere, amirite?
Those vents are usful in all sorts of places - speakers, re-breathers, lights, sockets, even vents.


Gits - Nothing says cybork quite like a touch of post-apoc style


Scarp - Thanks bud. It's just some detailing on the gun and grav-unit, and some kind of powa-pak maybe, nothing major to come. Although as the head isn't glued yet there's always a possibility of change there


CK - Cheers, as do I


sam - Thanks, glad you enjoyed it What's wrong with classic grey and white orks, it takes a lot of hard work to get that 'plastic' look just right you know.

You never heard of methane powered anti-grav before

When he gets properly based he'll be at an angle so that the shoota is horizontal, that should make him look a little less constipated.


Not sure what I'll be working on tonight yet (hah, that makes it sound like there are times when I do), I was having a little play with something for neil last night, and it's been igniting a few sparks deep in the positronork brain.

rubs hands with anticicpation .
Latest batch are looking suitably cyber, love the 5 pin plug shoota guy

Those vents are usful in all sorts of places - speakers, re-breathers, lights, sockets, even vents.

LOL!!! but yeah i suppose your right....*trods off...to cut marine powerpacks in small nonrecognizable bits*

how you find more and more ideas of cyber orks without repeat i do not know

Love the rocket guy!! Good use of marine back pack. Where is that cirular saw from? that you used for the sholder, I could use one for another mini grotdread

neil - keep rubbing those hands. You'll need to keep warm during the long, cold wait I'm slowly colourising some of your pics


vik - make sure you cut the pieces small so the beakies can't pput them back together


Rogue - me either


tipios - Cheers! That's actually a gear, I think from an old pull-back motor toy. That might not be a 100% accurate recollection though, as whatever it was was dismantled a couple of decades ago


Small update on the cyber-squig-hound for Waaagh Dakka




Poor cyber-grot tripped and grazed his knee




Or maybe he didn't trip.
Still needs a bit of work on his loincloth and blasta-arm.




A few wires hanging from the body, and still debating if anything is to be added to the top.


Also a bit more paint on the fighta, but not enough to warrant pics yet. The wings got a watered down red wash after drybrushing, but it dried rather streaky, you can see all the brushmarks. I'm hoping that'll dissappear when it gets sealed, but I'll give it another, less watered wash first.

And that's about it for now, it's been a slow week...

Coming along great mate! Going to be a real hoot when it's all together!

That's gonna be a huge squig hound; he could have orks for breakfast!

'Lures squig hond into da orky drops'

lol that squig looks already hillarious to the extreme^^

Nice work Monkey , lots of character and story in that mini diorama. good luck with the coloring , save me painting em up in future
