Well no one wants me stuff so knocking that on the head.

Need some help, I would like feathered wings for a project I have in mind, orky stuff project, but want feathery wings. Any ideas peeps?

Hmmm, maybe Reaper Miniatures?

How about this from GW?

I know you said feathered, but Puppetswar has some cool mech wings that might be an alternative:

Your orkstuff is amazing, need to check out all the pages now..

What size are you looking for?

Thanks gang.

@ Shas, Good shout, going to do some trawling this avo.
@ Sir Donlad, Good idea, but bit big for what I am after, I will explain below.
@ Grotrebel, Those are really nice and could be a serious contender.
@ Whalemusic360, That is a good question.

OK, yeah better explain a bit I guess.

So I have had a fart rattling around my head for a bit, I like crows, the scruffy rag tag dark menacing, cool as chips type of thing. And yesterday a true brainfart produced the idea, Ork Storm boys, but not storm boys....Storm Krowz. Dropping out a gunship using feathery type wings like a chute, maybe a rocket in there somewhere for speeding things up, elite airbourne unit, I even have some oversized M16 guns to rain bullets as they drop. They may or maynot end up as a dio or a legal unit. Just something I have kicking about. Got an itch and need to scratch.

Look at some of the DE stuff... they have good feathery wings.

HOWEVER... being orks I'd see more of a metal frame wing with feather-like plates riveted on haphazardly for that rag-tag... "we deny the existence of aesthetics" look.

This might be a good place for building a single set & then casting the crap out of them.

Yeah, looting some Dark Eldar Scourges would be a good go to. Or even some Stormcast Prosecutors, if you didn't want them quite as organic. Reaper also has a set of wings that could work well for you. https://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/bits%20wings/latest/03181

sanguinary guard maybe? feathery-winged rocket packs?

Thank you all for the ideas and feedback.

A quick little something just to get my Ork juices flowing. LoER Comp, need to do something, title is Child's Play. Several ideas, but it is getting short so go with one idea.











So yeah a orky amusement ride, little merry-go-round type thing, but orky.

Ahh man, that's ridiculously excellent. What an inspired piece. I hope you'll paint the orky one as a 'Red Baron'

Cam, you are the best you just brightened the rest of my day sir. I love your orky ideas.will this actually spin? I've seen items at checkout stands that are small motorized toys that spin which could fit underneath the base.

Wow.
Can't wait to see it with little kiddie grots all giggling inside the rokkits. So cool!

Great idea, Cam'.

I feel that those designs would hold up to being made "full size" for the Ork army.

Oh yeah... THIS !!! Make it spin

I will look into it, it currently has a nylon bearing, making it roller balls etc.

Too tired to speak, but update pics...








Falling asleep at keyboard so off I pop. Thanks for looking.

LOL! I love that!

John Cena says it best...

That is the most charming 40k diorama/display peice i've ever seen!

What could you possibly add to that?!?
An ork with golden curls in gingham drag waiting in line with a pair of grot 'children'?

It's my new favourite orky thing!

You were able to do that work in, what? 6 hours?
Stunning, Cam. Stunning!

Thanks,

@ Gits, Ta dude. Anyone who wants it it will be up for grabs soon.
@ Ruglud, LOL thanks.
@ SirD, Thanks, I will think on the blonde.
@ Anpu-adom, Thanks and yes well I had to stop and make a brew now and then, sorry it took so long!

So here are some nice-ish shots. Think this is not done yet, got lots of ideas kicking about, so will; probably add to it.





Thanks for looking folks, comments welcome.

Haha, what a fun little piece. Would look great on an Ork board.

This build really made me smile Cam, such a fun piece. Perhaps an orky merry go round next?

Great little build there, Cam'. So much character.

Please do that!

Love the orky-go-round. Super idea and very nicely executed.

Thank you all so much, really appreciate the comments.

Sorry not been very active here, lots going on, work is hectic, kids have invaded Dads room and taken over the computer, or at least the screen, got a visit from Papa Nurgle which is hanging about a bit. All pitiful excuses sorry.

But my orky itch is strong at the moment, I have some other things on the go which I have to do, but feeling an itch deep down for some orky goodness.

With that in mind, I saw these in the supermarket the other day, A magazine for kids. "Zomlings", well I see all sorts of potential, and a couple quid later I have this lot..


Now I see killa cans or dredds?



And some fun grot vehicles...


Going to have to scratch this itch soon...

Thanks for looking

Sure thing, these are orky, looking forward to these upcoming man's!

Damn...kans....... autocorrect is a gift and a scourge...

I'll be interested to see how you deal with that chrome paint on them now. Oh, and the impending orksplosion that is incoming too.

Nice finds. Look forward to their transformation.

That has all kinds of potential.
