Well, while tinkering with some different bits I had left, I came up with this:





Basically, he's equipped with shoota/rokkit and Big Choppa.

I'm not thrilled with the gold highlights, but I thought the fleshtones and face came out well.

Comments always welcome.

Is that one of the Ogre cannons from Fantasy?

Lots of red applied very appropriately with an excellent conversion.

Yeah, good skin and face. Do you paint your orks with white eyes and a black dot? I go for the glowing red, but yours makes a pleasant change.

Awesome Job!

The flesh tones do look excellent, however I am not sure about the coloration of the rest of your model. I really can not tell if the whole thing is done in a sepia color or if its just the picture. Have you tried setting your white balance before you took the picture? There is an excellent article on how to do it in the tutorials section.

That cannon has to be orge kingdoms. I never though of using their bits for Orks, well played. I really like the deep red.

I've used many different settings for my camera and they all seem a bit darker. I've tried to post the white background to help out, but to no avail.

I'll search through the P&M and see if I can find that one.

The cannon is from Ogre Kingdoms. The arms are a bit bigger, and needed a small trim, but overall an Ork boss should be able to go toe to toe with an Ogre!

The eyes are a first. Normally it's one big blob, but I got new brushes and was able to have a steady hand

That's a really fun model. Nice job.

i like it, and might have to make a cannon boss myself someday

Deff Kopta tail shoulderpad? Smartly done!

As with anything Orky, you never throw away bits - even if they're cut up from other conversions.

I cut the tails off to make my Nob Biker conversions - in the gallery.

I like it alot. Very Orky and very cool. Nice work man

i can image him shooting the gun and rocking back as the shot comes out. Very Orky indeed.

Rocking Back? how about being thrown ten feet through the air?

lol - I should've thought of that - I may still . . . .

Hmm....

It looks like he is wielding a boom gun!

Excellent conversion and paint job =)

Cool gun, nice warboss

Actually i was thinking of the same idea yesterday and now i see someone already did it!Splendid job

flying ten feet back? A warboss? no way man. Those things are PURE power. That cannon would barely tickle his arms
