What about a trygon... that's the one that burrows under ground, right? Came up right in front of the trukk, only a second too late- *thump thump* and it's roadkill.
Also it can be a high priced unit to field so it's good for bragging rights

Also, I think the hood ornament is an interesting choice... I like it but I am very curious how you plan to paint it(?) I really like the wings. Also the Nob looks great. Those two are so amazing.

that oraork is great!
What model is it?

@The Good Green: Trygon (or Mawloc) may be a *bit* big. Awesome idea, but I think it will overshadow the model - assuming it even *fits* in the back... Inital thoughts are to paint the ornaork silver...

@Matt.Kingsley: It is a fantasy snotling with Ravenwing emblems for wings (swords trimmed off)

if you wanna make a big base for it you could have the trukk runnin the thing over anyways. which would be kewl to see when fightin a nid army.

I'd vote for a stealer, they do not coincide with a full blow nid invasion, so could be a bit more plausible.

And a "go fasta" racing stripe

Nice to see the trukks back too (not that I ever got bored of the Storm Nobs, they are still a jumbo slice of awesome)

Or now that I think about it, how about a Ravener? Same idea as the trygon, but way smaller.

Did you get the frosting issue one control? If you need any pointers, Major Tom went through similar with him SM Termis, and I think made a tutorial for it.

Love the ornaork, very cool, just what you'd expect the aristorkracy to be drivin'

A ravener sounds good to me, just so long as you can get a Kevin Bacork and Fred W-ork to go with it

@Eckeon: I'm sure Artsoldier35 would love that, but this project is involved enough as it is. Will keep in mind for later (perhaps when my brother's Nidz become my regular opponent )

@Asylum_Inmate: Not sure we'll be seeing "go fasta" racing stripes - we'll see - painting is still a while off... I got bored with painting green (shock! I know!) so some of the modelling is seeing some rotation - and I really need to move Artsoldier35's GMS Trukk along. Of course, the Meganobz and Morgrim keep eyeing me off accusingly. I think I'm starting to suffer from monkeytrollitis... Stormboyz Nobz are complete - the only thing you are likely to see now on them is when Gitsplitta receives his, adds his Bad Moon decals and static grass, and takes his awesome photo of it. Otherwise, mine will be sitting around waiting for a Stormboyz mob to go with... (or perhaps filling in as a Power Klaw Nob, similar to Gitsplitta's in recent (and not so recent) battle reports - which reminds me, still have 3 battle reports to write up! Doh!)

@whalemusic360: I may have to do my usual thing and just buy one of each and see what works best! (and then start littering more Nidz around on bases and such...) Frosting is pretty much under control - the coat of gloss cleared up most of it - just waiting on better weather to attempt again. Actually, at this point, I may as well just wait until I've moved everything back up to Scotland weekend after next - that way I can spray and blow dry in quick succession. Fully aware of Major Tom's catastrophe and recovery. I should find it and put a link in for others....

@monkeytroll: The aristorkracy! Classic. I don't remember those Orks in Independork Daze

For those following/assisting with the Nid issue - are the Warriors plastic or metal? (Not that they appear a better choice than Raveners, Genestealers or Venomthropes...) I need to watch *that* scene again to make a final decision methinks...

Oh yes, and progress...

Rivets a la Forgeworld Modelling Masterclass:

I finally got around to opening up the water filter I've been carrying around for almost two years and using the contents for rivets. I hope you find it as riveting as I did Now I have to wonder if I need to add more rivets to Artsoldier35's... (Oh, and I haven't suddenly completed a lot more - that's the Twin Trukk fitted with the cab from Artsoldier35's GMS Trukk )

Oh, that's coming along very nicely Arakasi! Those rivets are expertly done... you'll need to get your membership to the United Iron Workers local 439 or Bruno and Clamps will be over to break a few fingers!

That looks so awesome. I love the hood ornament.

MOOOOAAARRRRRR Rivets! Looking grand as usual.

That helmet looks incredible. Nice job.

Lovin the Trukk

As far as Nids go, both the warrior and ravener are plastic... Raveners are a bit more expensive though...

Wait, when did I become infectious

Well, when I started thinking of raveners my mind drifted towards Tremorks

Nice rivets, keep forgetting to pick up a used filter from my mates.

@Gitsplitta: Depends - are they American based or British?

@Artsoldier35: Should have guessed

@slice'n'dice: Either way, I'm glad not to be paying Aus prices

@monkytroll: Since starting your awesome blog of course!

@Gitsplitta, moonshine, Artsoldier35, 40k Ninja, slice'n'dice, monkeytroll: Thanks!

Motivation low, I decided to revisit Morgrim. After a bit of cleaning up it became apparent what would be needed next...

Green Stuff!

Filled in some "holes" from the repositioning and smoothed out the hammer. All just to have a base for doing the more interesting stuff - later....

Of course, I mixed up too much Green Stuff, so the Trukks got some exhaust pipe bands. Those rivets work a treat here too!

Twin Trukk


Even Artsoldier35's GMS Trukk got in on the action (there was that much extra Green Stuff...)


And the other side...

Catchya!

Motivation low ?

Just imagine 500k of this army all fully painted. Morgrim is looking fantastic now that you have cleaned him up. Keep going !

That was more a home from work, none of my ongoing projects are currently inspiring me than anything serious long term!

Given I'm coming up two years and don't have 1k fully painted - I'm not sure that suggestion would have motivated me if it had been a serious complaint!

Clever tricks there Arakasi.... looking good!

Then just focus on pleasing Gork (or possibly Mork)

Exhaust Pipe Bands?! AWESOME!

man I cant wait to see that Warboss finished. He is gonna be fething awesome. Love that hammer. Would use something like that for one of mine but It might just be to big.

@Gitsplitta, Artsoldier35: Thanks again!

@moonshine: Will do!

@schank23: More progress below!

What's this? An update on Sunday? How is this possible?

Added in Morgrim's shoulder pads. Because they cover his upper arm workings, the bar connecting them is because I am making the whole shoulder pads/cape/lion skin removable for painting. Well, that's da plan...


And with the cape stuck in place. A *lot* of greenstuff work still to do here, but I'll need to get the twin-linked/big shoota in place first...


Catchya!

He is still looking highly kick ass

Woo! Very cool indeed

I just love that guy... He's so completely over-the-top. I thins he needs anti tank mines strapped to the ends of the hammer head!

As much as I love the Ghaz model out of the box I have to admit that what you ahve done is a real improvment, especially the shoulder pads.

if ever there was an ork that made the things that go bump in the night be afraid its Morgrim.

Hes looking amazing, can't wait until you get him finished and started with the paint.

Still need to look into maybe stapling or strapping that Termie to the shield- looks too much like a statue as is.
