So unique.. the bit and bobs really change the look of the standard 40k Ork concept. Kind of post Apocalyptic meets steampunky.

Thanks Solar_lion, PA vs Steampunk, I'll take that

After putting it off I've decided to have ago at making some Cyboars -



From humble beginnings!

Cheers.

I like the new Gorkamorkers! Lots of character and unique touches, as always. I would like to see more close-up pics of these guys as each of your Orks is excellent and warrants some ogling. I just love your style of techno savage. These guys would have fit in great in a Gorkamorka game.

I would also live to see WIP pics of anything you do so I can learn from the master.

Edit: I found some WIP pics in your gallery! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks The Riddle of Steel - Techno Savages? Could be a new name of the blog! I like it. I'll take some more pictures when I finish the last 4 boyz.

Hey again,

I've been working on my Cyboars and I've made a little progress, I thinking I'll just concentrate on making three to start with. Very WIP but here is where I am so far -





Cheers for looking!

Hey all,

I've managed to get one Cyboar and rider finished, just ready for some paint! pics-







Cheers!

Oh wow that is beautiful.

Excellent

Looks superb. Nice savage feel to it. Like it alot.

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like it.

Been working on the Nob Cyboar, and have him finished and just awaiting a paint job. pics-







Thanks.

Wow this brings back the memories.

Memories? Have you gone down the Cyboar path? If so I'd be happy to see what you came up with (and steal your ideas ).

I had no idea you had a blog! Consider me subbed!

I do not.. but they were common in the 2nd edition ( If i remember this correctly ).. I game most of all my old ork stuff away so I don't have any boars. I do have a local player that uses them as bikes.

Besides yours look pretty darn good. Folks will be stealing your stuff instead!

Your cyboars look great. I like the nob especially.

I love that old power klaw on the nob. I remember that model from the 3rd edition rule book. I always wanted one, but could never find the bit. Do you mind sharing where you found it?

The cyboars are looking nice, by the way, and covered with a ton of extra details. I'm looking forward to seeing them painted so I can better see all the "flare" better.

I believe its from an old Badmoon Mega armour warboss Nazdreg Ug, rescued from Ebay

I just googled it and I believe you are correct. I love that claw, but he's going for $35 on eBay. I'll have to keep an eye out for a deal or one that is part of a lot. Thanks!

Such amazing work, the boars have given me an idea for my grots to get some warbikers

I love the way the Cyboars are shaping up, SJM! I especially like the fact you've used a ton of old pewter bits. I still prefer so many of the old bitz (the Brian Nelson era Nobz and in particular the shoota you've used on your Cyboar Nob).

I've been wanting to do a feral Ork detachment for my greenskins for ages... Does anyone remember an old WD from around 2001 that had a Feral Ork army list? It was packed with Squiggoths and the like which, at the time, was mind-blowing!

Thanks for the comments!

I picked up a couple of the Badmoon guy, purely for his claw, they were in a right state but nothing some paint stripping wont fix!

NidLifeCrisis - I think you may mean George Dellapina's feral Orks, they started around WhiteDwarf 298 I believe!

Take it easy

Phew, finally time to down tools, and pick up a brush! I've finished the 5 Cyboars ready for some paint, couple of pics-





Thanks for looking.

WOW awesome looking unit.

Loving the cyboars, such a unique unit and double loving the power klaw proppa orky

Keep it up

Mekka

Fantastic stuff! Brilliantly individual conversions!

Thanks for the comments bros.

Over the bank holiday weekend I've managed to finish the Ork Nob Cyboar, took longer than I thought but here you go pics -











Thanks for looking!

That model looks totally awesome. So wonderfully oldskool!

Fantastic conversion.

Yeah, that is epic!

AS wonderful as I thought it would be. Brilliant matey, brilliant.

You have my vote, sir.
