I think I'm good with the messiness, I mean orks probly often drive into battle with fresh coats of paint on stuff without even letting it dry first.

I'm probly going to get some more building done tomorrow so hope for some pics of the super battle fortress, (and maybe the first of a tinboy squad)

Also thought I would let you all know I wrote (well maybe wrote is to generous more like practically plagiarized) an ork codex for my warband da Bullet Brainz. It steals/borrows heavily from a compiled ork document wich I believe was from THE WAAAGH forum I can say however that I added some new options and 1 entirely new unit. neither of which were in the compilation at all.

If anyone wants to look at it let me know.

(there is no background in it yet, I wouldnt feel right about writing it unless i had finished the background for my Mechmarines codex)

If you want straight edges on chevrons and the like, try applying thin strips of masking tape over the yellow, paint the black, then remove the tape - waiting for the paint to dry a bit first, but not letting it dry completely and sealing the tape down. Or for freehand try marking them first in pencil/micro-pen, a lot of peeps find it easier to get a straight line that way.

or mine

great job PoMM

Thanks matt.

Here is the first tinboy everyone.

Nice!

I really like it

Yeah, liking that guy Very nice.

i think it needs an ork bit, like a head or arm or something? does'nt look like an ork in there

Its not an ork, bigfish, it's a tin boy or a robot if you want to call it that.
I'm betting monkeytroll could tell you all about tinboyz

tinboyz are ork robots, some mok the other races

well It's a bit late but here is the slight progress I made on the mega battle fortress.

The start of the rotary zzap gun.


and due to popular demand, it's magnetized.

Ok so I painted an ork (WHAT!!! MORE PAINT!!!???)

I spray prime everything I get while it's on the sprue with a cheap flat black spray can.



Next I basecoated it with knarloc green.


Then switching my brush to an army painter wargamer: Character I Put a layer of gretchin green on top of the knarloc green. Making sure not to cover all of the knarloc green.


Switching brushes again to an army painter wargamer: Detail I put a layer of camo green on top of the gretchin green. Again making sure not to cover all of the previous layer.


The a coat of thrakka green and it's done


I probably will put a coat of vallejo matte varnish on to protect it from scuffs. but this will not affect the color at all.

How did this blog escape my eyes till now?

Good stuff (specially your assistant!)

Seriously, great convo work!!

Thanks.
I'm sorry that I have not been busy building, sometimes real life is more than gaming, I've been having some problems with my health.

You had better call the Maddok, but just hope he is not in a creative mood

Sorry to hear that Primarch, take care - getting yourself sorted takes priority over toy soldiers

get better soon

Don't worry and take care of yourself, Orks can wait and us too!

I have returned! And I come bearing pictures!














I might upload some better pics later. The lighting was not so good where these picture were taken so the colors don't show up correctly in some places.

Glad to see you're in good health again! And that junka is coming out quite nicely. I like the Mekky bits in the back that look like a KFF generator

Well Awesomesauce I'm glad it looks like a KFF, since that's what it is.

I got a bit of painting done today, no pics sorry, It was not enough to showcase.
I did some touch-ups and tried to paint some flames on the side of the rokkit launcher turret. Let me tell you, the flames did not turn out well. That was probably the first time I got a headache from looking at something I painted . So no more flames .

I'll start putting the finishing details on my Battlewagon this week and takes some pics.
I figure 3 more weeks at the pace i'm going now or 1 - 1/12 weeks at a good pace until the junka and battlewagon are completely done.

well not much in the way of good solid progress. But here are some picture of some mediocre progress.



^Pretty terrible checker pattern It still needs alot of work.



^A random armour plate. The rivets on the green part are painted in a brass color but it does not seem to have shown up well.



^one of the 2 sponsons

I will hopefully have some progress picture of the zzap gun and kannon turret for the battlewagon tomorrow as I plan on painting them today.

Nice progress anyway!

Thank you SelvaggioSaky.

I have almost finished painting the zzap gun turret

The zzap turret is pretty much finished now.
And the kannon turret is almost done too.





^^
This side still needs some work

So last night I was thinking up what I wanted to do on my stompa that I will be entering in next years ork vehicle competition.
This Is what I came up with so far.

Effigy Of Da Bullet Brains (kustom stompa)
Base Cost 350

Head Weapon:
Gaze of mork 050

Right Arm:
Deth kannon with co-axial supa-gatler 150
(For deth kannon I will make another ZZap kannon)

Left arm:
Skull hamma Kannon 100
Go for something like this:
Except bigger


Image uploaded by: Ramos Asura


Right Shoulder:
Deff Gun 025

Left Sholder:
Deff Gun 025

Hull mounted weapon:
Either a Big zzapa or flame belcha 030 (for either one)

Deff Arsenal 020

Powah field 060

Repair Krew 075

deff arsenal is more then 20 points, but apart from that, thats a very expensive build, killy though, but why no big belly gun?

My bad the deff arsenal is a typo its 120 points I was using the number pad on the keyboard and as you know the 0 is right below the 1.
I might take a belly gun as the hull mounted weapon but I could not figure out a suitably ridiculous over techy substitute.

Could you put a Lifta-Droppa in the belly?

@Anvildude, Not Officially no. I know I could do it any way and forget the rules, but I just don't think I want to use a lifta droppa. However you got my inner gubbinz grinding and I think that I will make some sort of mega shunta.

Also I got the scratch building bug again so I decided to work on my Battle Fortress. I decided that I wanted to make a super heavy mekboy junka so behold the Big Mek Battle Fortress!
A pdf of the rules is included in this post please feel free to download.

First here is a link to the inspiration for the re-boot of this build.

Now ONTO MY PROGRESS!

^^The very early start of my KFF array. As you can see I took a similar approach, but I did not cut anything off of my main plasticard sheets to make it, instead I cut to size some of my accumulated scrap pieces.


^^As you can see I used two of the old imperial guard drive wheels.


^^here is a quick mock-up of what the KFF array will look like. Just imagine it with a lot more wires/tubes and a second KFF cylinder on the this side.

Like the way It's taking, the inspiration blog where You took the idea is just absurd... I understand why You choose that
