Built this from scratch for my orks.. no idea what to call it.. im just starting out.. ive painted the models for years but never played the game. I hope to learn the game very soon though.. so what would you call my ork robo thingy?

id use it as a "STOMPA"

yeah? hmm i thought stompas were like huge walking fortresses? cool im pleased with the outcome though. Its kinda titanesque? hmmm cheers though

I think STOMPA would be a good name for it. The only issue that might arise is that a Stompa has loadsa different weapons...3 big shootas, a skorcha, gatling cannon, blast gun and giant close combat weapon. But in fairness, its a game, and if you have a really cool model like that, I'd let you play it as a stompa!

good luck with learning the rules!

A large model like that doesn't fit into the "standard" game - unless you're having fun with mates.

Apocalypse allows you to come up with "data sheets" and assign point costs for cool models like that.

I like it - looks good and would be fun to play with. Next time, extra detailing around the crew compartment would make it stand out better and draw the eye in, but overall it works as an Orky big mech thingy!

;-)

Stompa/ really big dread. Looks pretty cool! Good luck with learning the rules and can't wait to see more from you!!

Ace, thanks guys. what kind of detailing around the crew compartment just highights etc? or orky symbols? im pritty pleased with it though. Any suggestions on what i should build next?

Hi - the crew compartment just has flat space on the front. Some form of texture or detailing there would IMO help a little. For Ork vehicles, things like fly wire, plastic card, shields, glyphs, extra metal plates, rivets pipes (half straws, plastic pipes etc) can all be used to add extra detail.

I prefer more detail, and it's great to see on a table top.

In regards to your next build - I would suggest an Ork truck! Canabilise a toy truck or two for wheels etc.

ill see about improving the detail because i do feel it could be more orky. Cool il give the truck a try. thanks for the help

yea Im with the stompa crowd. Looks ALMOST like a looted warhound? isnt that the smaller SM titan? Anywho looks nice and Orky is you ask me

I'd go with a looted warhound, looks VERY much like it, in a good way. Gargant comes along, kills warhound, Orkzes come and take warhound, VOILA!

lol! i just checked out warhounds its kinda scary how similar it is concidering ive never seen one before. cool though. i built it from random thinks in my flat... shaving bottle lids, hand gel bottles... you name it, its there hmm now to plan my next build..

lol, I love what you can do with random scraps, thats why whenever i go to the home improvement stores (and such) i always buy some random little bitz, bitz is bitz aye?

yes sir same here! I do the same thing with my sons broken toys. Infact I just stole a toy gun scope that I plan on using for my boomgun. It looks alot more dynamic then what I have on it currently

You could make up some rules for a "Looted Imperial Warhound"

Nice use from old wartrukk front.
I like the scrap build looted warhound titan.
Maybe fluff it a little with GW bits.
And more weaponry.
More guns

greetz typhoon

Man this thing is awesome! I wanna know what all went into this!

hey thats awesome and all but i reckon if you ever do a second make him less round more blockish suits orcs that does

Kinda reminds me of a turtle... how about `da Killa Turtle`?

lol da killa turtle it is! right il tell you guys what went into it.... the top compartment is made outoff the top part of a german tank model.. the tracks for the model i stuck together to make a heavy cable type thing. th back barrel has "squiqz crapz" wrote on it and its joned to the right hand gun which was made out of a hand gel bottle. the other gun/hand was made from the same. I destroyed some spair dvd cases for some plastic and constructed the legs and main torso, the sholder pads are made out of the lid of an old hair spray bottle.. er.. inside the crew compartment theres loose wires made from speaker cable and a crude computer with an ork bashing buttons... the feet are made out of the lids from shaving foam bottels with scores cut into the top so to position the plastic better. erm theres a pen in there and the barrel on the back is made out of the empty epoxy putty tube cut in half with speaker wire to make ridges. could use some more orkz bitz to ork it up. thanks for the comments quys
