Another project I started when the Ork codex was released. He got pushed aside in favour of some other projects I had going on at the same time, but I just dug him out and finished him off yesterday.



I wanted to go for more of a Tesla-coil sort of look for the warpfield generator. And while the vaccuum cleaner styling of the official model is very cool, I went with the 'box-of-snot ammo delivery system' for something a little different.

You can find more pics in the UTC Gallery


As always, comments and criticisms welcome.

Amazing

Even though I absolutely love the official model, I've gotta say this looks incredible. But then again I've come to expect dropped jaws from your work. I really like the box o' snot ammo method!

It's a really well done build and your plastic work is always excellent but I have one critique. The orc doesn't look like he can move that box around because it's on his gun side. I think the model would have looked more balanced and practical (yeah I know, practical and ork, let alone 40k, don't exactly mesh). Other than that it is a great use of a loota.

That's what grots are for...

Besides, he's not meant to be moving around... he's meant to be sending forth splattery death

you psychicly stole one of my unmade conversion ideas again!

but seriously, it looks great, although I'd maybe add some grot assistants to push the ammo box around, and/or give the box some wheels, perhaps even 'motorise' it

I am using the old school shokk attack gun with a dwarf miner standard crest on top. The one with a cage with a gobbo sitting in it. As its clearly only big enough for one shot. So I am preparing to scatter two similar cages one with snot, one empty as spare/used rounds for the gun.

I think this miniature deserves a 60mm base then you can have the box and ork comfortably based, not that orks appreciate comfort.

looks god to me, it's got the spinny bit, plus it's got that awesome crate full of snotlings. good work overall, much cheaper than the real model too i bet

con sider that idea looooooted

Does a 7(-ish) month old thread resurrection make you a level 2 Threadnomancer or is it a level 3?

Wow... time flies.

nice

That fantastic!!! do we get painted pics?

Only if whoever bought it puts some up...

good gravy 7 months old lol. I too look at the old posts just for ideas and the like, but seriously why do people do that? HEY let me add my two cents to something thats prolly been LONG forgotten

The question should be: how did he manage to perform such an act of high level thread necromancy when his profil clearly says he's still a Grot

love the cage, the gun looks proppa, but 'sex' the mekboy up a bit.

The whole point of this conversion was to show that a Loota can be turned into a SAG without too much trouble. Hence the relatively unmodified boy.

He certainly won't be getting modified now (at least not by me) since he was sold 7 months ago

epic
