Looking great!

Your Flash Git looks excellent!! I guess I had better get around to working on mine since all of you hasty people are...well...being hasty.

On the warboss bikers back, can the grot be called scrag tag the bootlick?

I hate Grey Knights.

I field a full Nob squad, with attached Warboss, 'eavy armor, a dock and powerklaws. And they wipe me out before I can do anything because they all have force weapons with iniative 7

Just a small teaser for you guys:

My table is full. Like, really full. I have that special project I've talked about in the DCM Forum, my Waaagh Dakka Ork and tons of models for my traitor guard army.

But Gork damnit, I want to stark working on my Stompa, which I've bought about 5- years ago, back when it first came out.
Originally I had planned to build in a speaker and add the 3 Rogue Trader Ork rockers, I still have lying around somewhere. But after which quite literarlly have been years of thinking about it, I decided to ditch that angle. I want to concentrate on the visual aspect and not worry about where I could put the speakers and how I could access the attached MP3 player.

I want a really bad-ass Stompa, though I haven't decided on the main weaponry yet. I really like the idea of a Stompa armed (har har har) with a wrecking ball, but I also love the sheer wackiness that comes with a tractor beam.
Also, if I use two close combat weapons (I already have a few fitting parts for a wrecking ball) I can use the wonderful Stompa gun on something else.
One thing I thought about was building a sort of command bridge into the chest of the Stompa, using the Big Mek who's leaning on his wrench as commander.

That's about it, I just really wanted to write about it. ^^

I'm sick of my old 'Ardboyz. Here's the first new squad

cool man. The Ardboy is looking good.

Indeed, a whole squad tooled up like that would be sick!

Subed, love the Warboss on bike

My brother asked me what I wanted for christmas and I said I was thinking about adding another battlewagon to my Ork army.

Though I wasn't sure what to do with them. I love the base model and already have one in use which I didn't convert at all. The question was, how to build another one, which captures the feeling of the current model, but still looks different enough from the regular one. Well, my brother got me TWO battlewagon kits for christmas. I guess I'll just have to figure something out.

Youz only s'pozed ta blow da bloody doorz off!

The 'ard boy reminds me of similar enemies in Space Marine.

Nice work on all this.

Really? That just HAS to be a complete coicendence.

Just a quick picture: Here's one of the awesome little buggies my brother got me for christmas. You can see which parts are from the original model and where I added GW bitz. I took the photo with my phone and uploaded it on facebook. It's lazy, I know, but a lot quicker than normal.

Buggy's looking good, do you do realize the skorcha upgrade turns it into a wartrakk automatically, right?

You could make one all wheels, one all tracks. And you could turn the all wheeled one into something that has more of a 'truck' feel, like this:


I like the BW except for the cockpit Don't really know what's wrong with it, main thing that throws me off is the lack of a motor hood I think, hence the truck idea

Yes, I know about the wartrakk rules, but the wheels look really good on the buggy. The second Scorcha based on the same model will have tracks, I still had an old wartrack lying around.

As for the Battlewagon, I really want to build one with only tracks. Maybe even combine it with the big Stompa gun.
My brother had a similar idea about the truck, I'll keep it mind.

Here's the second one. I guess the I'll try to figure out what to do with my Battlewagons next.

I like him with the tracks, though I'd add something mudguardlike for the tracks, would add that little bit extra IMO. Oh, and the hood ornament should be straight up, like on those old Mercedes models . Doesn't one of the IA books have rules for a BW with a supadeffkannon or something? Might be what you're looking for.

That's what I meant, a battlewagon from one of the FW books. I think a friend of mine has what I'm looking for.

Not sure what you mean with mudguard for the tracks though.

Something like the round bits above the front wheels. the wartrakk rear has some on it.

i think 8 has the super kannon rules in it?
but anyway awesome buggies really like the second one

In case you're wondering, the buggies are from the polish company PuppetsWars.

They also make this wonderful Ork warbus

I love that red truck. The half military one. It's brilliant. I might steal the idea for myself if I find a suitable car.
And we both collect orks and traitor guard. Wahey!

If you want to see the original Nemesis of my Ork army, check out my brother's Space Marine blog.

The Waaagh Dakka Flash Git is all done except for the base. I'll probably base him once, take the pictures and redo him after that so he'll fit into my army.

Okay, 6th edition is out, let's get this thread rolling again.

Yesterday I finished the two Skorcha buggies. Next up for the Orks is the Dakkajet, which I already started painting.
Once I'm done with that I want to build more 'Ard Boyz with riot shields like the one above and maybe a unit of Burna Boyz. But who cares about infantry. The real fun begins with the vehicles.

I still have an unbuild Stompa in my closet and its time has come! But I don't know what to do with it. The original model, as all the GW Ork kits, is great but I can't not convert it. I already have a barely converted truck and battlewagon in my army and there wasn't much I could to with the Dakkajet. The plan was, to build him with a wrecking ball from the WD rules but it has to replace the regular Stompa CC weapon, which is too awesome and too big to use with anything else besides the Stompa. The huge cannon is nice, but that is a weapon I can use somewhere else. As a Supa Kannon on a Battlewagon and as an Ork AA turret terrain piece.
I think I have a few parts that would make a good Lifta Droppa, but then I still can't decide on the close combat weapon.

One thing I do know I want to do with the Stompa, is building some sort of control bridge in his chest, with a Big Mek standing there and commanding it.

Any thoughts?

depends on what you want it to do as to what it could be cool to have on it?

personally i like the uper shooty ones so, a head gun, a platform on his cheast with big mek and some more daka (more meky daka), big kff and a tail just for kicks

This thing just screams "loot me".



The gunner in front can be perfectly replaced with the Ork gunner from the Trukk sprue and I think I can find a good weapon to put on top.

And this beauty will totally be my next flyer.



I already have a Dakkajet, but that flyer seems to fit the model the best.

^ I was totally thinking about looting one too, i do deathskulls and it would just fit so well with what ive got!

Hey that SWAT Ork idea is awesome. Mind if I loot it? Also good luck on looting the new DA stuff, the speeder already looks like it was built by pious orks, so it should look great once you loot it.
