Well, I've started up my Orks again after a long winter break. Hopefully I'll be posting more in a short while, but I wanted some input on my Mega Armored Warboss conversion.

Still very WIP...





Inspired by GW's studio model. Some parts are a total rip, but I tried to keep it original.

Very awesome.

The only complaint I have about the model is that the drum clip looks very awkward placed at the top of the gun, but there's not much you could do to fix that (easily, anyway).

I like it very dynamic. Got to agree about the drum clip though

where did you get the body to the Boss!!!!

This thing is 9 kinds of awesome, I absolutely love the dual PKs!

The body looks like Good Ol Ghazgull.

those guys are really awesome. keep it up!

The pose is somehow stupid. The arms don't match each other or something. It seems he can't decide which one to use. But I like its stompyness.

Me like. I was planning on doing something similar myself, also inspired by that picture! Nice to see someone else's take on it!

I appreciate all the feedback... except maybe for "somehow stupid", which is a little vague. Anyways, the only update is I connected the two power klaws to the engine in the back of the suit and green stuffed the plastic arm. While there was little I could do as far as changing up the ammo drum, I did lower it a bit to make a a bit more flush with the shootas. Once I get the base paint on, I'll post some more pics.

I'm bumping it to hope you finish it and more pictures will come and where it will finally be finished

It looks great, but the skinny neck part makes it look somewhat like a robot and not an Ork in a powersuit. Did he have some radical surgery and end up as a brain in a box, deff dred style? That would be pretty radical, but not outside the realm of Ork experimentation.

thats hella badass. where did you get that head from? Thats somewhere along the lings of what I plan to do for my warboss. super friggin sweet man. that boss looks like he can eat tanks for breakfast.

Wow!!! I'm in awe and envious all in one go! I'm using some of your ideas as I've been trying to figure out how to do my own boss as I'm not fond of the Thraka model. Your guy is a Supa Stompy/Choppy/Shooty Boss! I love it! "Dakka Dakka!!!"

I think you're pose is more Orky than the Studio Model. He's driving forward into da fightin'!

As far as the head, I found it in my bitz box. I believe its from the old metal Black Orc command set as the unit standard banner. The new Black Orc plastic box set should have a plastic head that is extremely similar and of the same basic size, so look at Warstore or other bitz traders.

I've been busy these couple of days, but I've finally stared to paint the warboss with, what I consider, a really sweet color scheme I found in February's WD on pg. 99. So far, its only his leg, but you get the idea.

that looks like a hard conversion to do.

Ok I don't know what happened to my response.
I like your conversion more than the GW one!

I think the ammo drum looks fine as is.
Your ork leg looks awesome, I can't wait to see it finished.
