Here you go. This one was done due to the fact I have 5 warbosses from Black Reach (Hooray for trades) and I wanted a new warboss for my Baltimore army if I get a chance to go. Will see depending on money. Hooray mortgages hah. But yeah, here he is, main body Black Reach, ork bike, trukk tire, plastic card, and a bomb squigg. I also painted up a full squad of lootas. Also here is a bunch of my Deff Koptas.





More to come later as I get better pics taken.

Nicely done. Liking the grotty (no pun intended) colour scheme too.

really nicely done. can't wait to see more pics

I dig the havoc launcher exhaust pipes - very inventive!

Looks Great. Keep up the Great Work.

sweet looking model and a good job. I like the basing, too.

Awesome job on the conversion. He looks very natural on the custom bike.

I think a bit more variation in the metal work could help distinguish parts more and not lose detail in all the metals. Painted plating and different metal colors could definitely help add some more detail back into the model.

Agreed with grey_death. Your conversion is rawsome. It may just be the photos, but it seems difficult to tell the metal parts apart.

howd you go that? did you have to cut the legs much?

HOORAY for DeffKoptas! Glad to see a huge, nice-looking pack of them.

Your boss conversion is great. I like how big it turned out and how natural the Black Reach boss looks on it. I am also curious how much you had to cut the boss up to make it work.

Great job.

I assume the lighting wasn't great when you took pics. There is alot of things going on on that bike. Hard to distinguish.

Looks great. Are going to paint up the Nobz and Boyz?

Yeah thats great work! Thats amazing painting!

Hi, yeah I just had to hack at his crotch a bit. Take off the cloth loincloth and do a small bit to get him to fit. Once on there, I need to add plasticard to increase the foot rests. But when I saw the sculpt and how he had his legs spread out, I knew he would fit on a bike. But yeah, the biggest thing was getting the arm to grab the handle bar, but as I have seen in some other conversions, just having him ride with his knees works out just as well hehe. But it took very little cutting.

Right now, I've painted up 9 deff koptas, 1 warboss on a bike, 1 on foot, and 10 nobz. I was finishing up my lootas and tweaking some nob bikerz to get ready for Balitmore. Pics to come and hopefully better ones to come in a day or so as I get Big Red or someone else to take some pics with a nicer camera. But I will post some basic ones in a bit as I get them out of the car and set up. And yes lighting at my work sucks.

Lootas and Nob Bikerz Squads.


The skin tones are different due to being an older paint job. I tweaked them a bit to get them in line with the warboss, but not as dark etc.



Look for better pictures in a few days.

Love the work you've done on the warboss and the bikers.

Looks like he's indicating that he's about to make a left hand turn...

Absolutely NICE on the warboss. Did you really need the base? or did you just toss it in for the ground effects and squig? No pun intended.

Thanks, the plan is to get a space marine and have him clutching it as he is driving past. I wanted to make it a Space Sharks guy due to all the people in Austin creating Space Shark Armies. Muahahah.

The bike looks a mess, after a good long stare you can tell it is a very nice piece, but it really doesnt photograph well at all.

Honestly it looks like a jumble of bits and some glue tossed into a bag then painted tinbitz and heavily inkwashed black.

Yeah, I think he perfectly captured the Orky design aesthetic too.

Seeing your models, I think I may paint up the Orks from the box after all. Great looking work!

Damn staight Orlanth, and the effect is brilliant. Well done GoatBoy, i like the on goin feral theme in your army.

You can even paint yours in the same manner as he does!

thats awesome. your orks look like they havnt bathed in a good year or more. (they must live on a dry planet lol) i really dig some of the things on your boss bike.
