Just added to the Gallery, my Wazdakka Gutsmek conversion, based on a Landspeeder and my bits box and plasticard. Fluffwise, Wazdakka has looted a wrecked Landspeeder to make a new 'Bike of the Aporkaplypse' - sadly it was too damaged to get more than a few inches off the ground, so for game purposes it 'counts as' his usual Bike as per the codex.

Some people think he looks too clean, that seems to be partly the photo, he looks much grimier in real life, but I probably will add more rust and scratched paint etc.

A nifty idea. He does, however, appear to be a standard Biker Boy with a PK. Shouldn't a special character like Wazzdakka be a little more... one-of-a-kind?

Personally I think the paintjob is pretty sweet.

**Balance**

I like it. Would be a great centerpiece for an "Orks on Ice" list with all the bases done to look like snow...

**Deadshane1**

crazyawesome!

**maxdamek**

wow!

**sphynx**

wow, yeah it would be great if you had a whole army on skis!

**burb1996**

Thats pretty cool there!

**Alex Kolodotschko**

Top Dakka!

You need snow bases!!!

Merry Xmas!

**jacka da waka**

the gun is pretty sweet!

**KingCracker**

im with everyone else thats pretty bad ass. nice job indeed!

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Any shots from other angles?

I like the skis underneath.
But agree that the smallish model as Wazdakka doesn't really fit.

**Anung Un Rama**

It doesn't scream Wazdakka to me, but it's a nice conversion and very good paint job.

**lolzman**

you might wanna change the head so many ork boys have that head actually vehicles do i mean tis a special character

**Sadetta131**

sweet toy!

you mean the conversion of the "bike" isn't one-of-a-kind enough for you?

to the OP.. nice conversion, I'd like to see a bit more gubbins on that sled, but other than that, well done...

**Clang**

MORE gubbins? I had enough trouble fitting all his equipment on there anyway

Ta all for the comments.

I'll look at adding more bits (e.g. tools) to Waz himself to make him look fancier - at the time, I had so much trouble working out the seated position and the 'holding the joystick' pose that I didn't think too much about customising him further. I did consider using the AoBR warboss figure instead, but that will probably be used for a biker boss soon, so didn't want to use him for Waz as well. The new plastic Nobs are out on Saturday, possibly one of them would have been better, but at the time i only had the two plastic nob torsoes to choose from

**biztheclown**

Very nice

**Nailz94**

Woah! Sweet jesus i love that gun what did you make it out of??????

**blood_pact**

It's an ork on a sledge!

Looks great though

**dietrich**

Nice job.

If you stick a bosspole and maybe some flaming skulls (from the Titan crew) behind him, it'd help to make it more... Wazdaakery.

**Major Malfunction**

Pretty cool! My only observation (and an admittedly minor one) is it's not a bike any more. Love the Dakkakannon though.

**Werdes**

I agree he should atleast be bigger than his gun

Otherwise nice job!! ;D

The gun barrels are just plastic tubing. The back part is a Leman Russ sponson (minus the heavy bolter), and bits from an old-style ork bike. Plus lots of rivets, of course.

**RiTides**

Wow, I like it

Great conversion... it'd be awesome to see a WIP shot if you have it!

**Clang**

no WIP pics, sorry, but I can tell you where any bits came from if required.

**Cryonicleech**

I've seen him before on Warseer, but he still looks good to go!
