I appreciate the comments and views guys. Schank, I actually have lots of glyph plates, I don't use them very often, but I trust your advice and will slap a few more on at random. I don't plan on putting a boss pole on it, but then again, it may need an orky antennae so I will think about it. Sorry if you think the stand looks like a bird feeder, just wait until it is all said and done and the tube is lit up with LED's. I try not to get too over the top with conversions for orks because it is so easy to get carried away. Just bear with me, and I won't let you down. Off to bed. Last day before my week off.

Oh, no. I meant no offense by the bird feeder comment. I've had too many projects compared to lumps of crap in their halfway stages to ever give anyone a hard time about that. I was making myself smile thinking of tiny orks firing at giant birds, though.

In all seriousness, I can see what you're trying to do with the beam, and I like it. It's gonna work, so keep on crackin at it!

None taken sir. I got the armature for the radar dish attached to the dish itself today, and ran the copper rod through it and attached some gubbins. Can't take pictures now, wife wants me to play video games with her. Tomorrow will be a big day of working on models, so be prepared for more.

I have an update for ya Frawg. Got some more work done on your ork. Still in the building stage but here is what I have so far.

This army is deliciously orky! Very nice conversions

great work on the sauser man
I love how you can make almost everything into something orky thats jus so cool about orks
also skank that ork is looking AWESOME

Thanks for the compliments guys, always nice to hear. Schank, that is perfect! I can see him looking in the direction that the Kombi Rokkit is firing, Very John Woo. I need to get back to working on mine too.

That was the plan for the head. Just need to find one I like. Gone threw a few but didnt fit well with me.

Well so far this morning I have gotten some work done on the saucer. Not too much. The armature is basically done and is stable enough to hold everything together. I also added landing gear looted from a Tau Devilfish. Tonight once the monkey is in bed I will finish up adding more glyph plates and adding a few gubbins and it should be ready to be primed. Airbrush work should be tomorrow when I go use my fathers compressor. Here are some pics.





Here is one from farther away so you can see a little better how the whole thing will look.



I plan on using the smoke effect from my stormboyz (I haven't posted all the pics for them yet) that I learned from this website. http://dagreenskins.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-make-smoke.html It will be coming out of all 3 of the missles and swirling around the whole stem and base.
Feel free to leave questions, comments, concerns, and feedback.

I cant remember what you said you were using it as, but unless its a flyer then that base is a bit tall. (i have a feeling you said it was a battle wagon???)
tbh though it is looking so cool i think you should make i a data sheet and then have it as a battle wagon of bomber or w/e for more competaive games.

HANG ON, it has a tractor beam... like the ork battle wagon with that tractor bean, you could use the rules from that and have it as a battle wagon with the lifta dropa.
:O awesome.
oh and the smoke effect sounds cools

It is actually going to be a flier, which is why it's on the flying base. A little taller than the standard flyer. It will be a custom vehicle for the July Mega Monster Battle Jam Extreme 2011. Going to take the point cost of a fighta bomma, subtract the cost of the weapons and then add the cost of a zzap gun and a lifta droppa. Cleared it with Unholy Martyr (my opponent) and it should come out to be almost the same as the bomma. No transport capabilities, just dakka. This is one big game for fun and nothing else. Well, while taking those photos, it fell off the desk and broke. I have a lot of stuff to reattach and then secure even better. Have to wait till my 2 year old daughter goes to bed before I can work anymore tonight.

Lookin good man
just put it on your desk so you can always look at it end be happy

No, it will be table ready in the next day or two. I think I fixed the structural integrity of the armature. I think a little green putty more to secure it to the saucer, and some gubbins on the radar dish and it should be good to go. Borrowed my fathers air compressor, so I shoule be able to paint it and my battle wagon, and my second trukk tomorrow. Also playing 2 games at the local hobby shop. Grey Knights and then either IG or Space Wolves. Fun times. I should also be getting my Dread Knight and my Deff Dred kits tomorrow. My friend decided to call the conversion the "Deff Knight" I like that.

Now with super head moving action!

Schank, that is exactly what I am looking for. Perfect. Can't wait to field a squad of these, I could have used them today. Got my ass rocked by space wolves, thanks to Unholy Martyr. Not that it was his fault, more of my dice rolls were absolute gak. I don't think I passed anything except for morale checks. On the plus side, he did give me this to be looted.

Prepare for the Deff Knight. Can't wait to start ravaging this thing. All I need now is my Deff Dredd. Think I will pick that up Friday.

wwwooooooot cant wait!!!!

Awesome idea man

Taking the saucer outside to be primed right now, then I get the air compressor out and prepare for air brushing. I am getting this thing done. Sick of messing with it when there is so much more in my army that needs to be painted.

Nice can't wait!!!

Got more done on your ork. Paint has been applied. I past the first wash stage. But what I want to know is do you want me do do the base in the traditional Brazen Klaw style or leave it for you to finish?

Here is a little teaser for ya Frawg.

ZOMG Schank. That looks amazing. I would prefer you do the base in the Brazen Klaw style, I plan on usiing the Meganobz as more of a unit for urban assaults anyway. Thanks for asking, and keep up the good work. I have been slacking due to work. I swaer to Gork though, I will not slack on these three days off. I will finish that damned saucer. Time for sleep now.

More done but still more to go.

but shouldn't be to much longer.

I want da saucer!!
Lolz

Do you plan on having the saucer beaming someone up? Kinda caught mid beam.

oooh i can answe that one, there will be a squig cow.

Okay, dakkanauts, I have actually done something. FINALLY! The detail work to the bottom of the saucer as well as the cockpit *snicker* are done. I put the base material on the base, and began painting a squig cow, as well as a long horn squig. I am exhausted from my daughter, and hungry to the point of shaking (I often forget that you need to eat in order to stay alive) I will post pictures tomorrow when I get my strength back. Be patient and I will deliver goodness.

righto boss!

Holy Crap I thought you where dead.

Schank
You belong in a tree, you're a Nut!!

Can't wait for pics!!!YEA
