in short... yes >:]

I've not been that focused on my orks this weekend.

All I've done is based a load of boys in the same fashion as my warboss and nobz.

Built 2 new trukks that arrived on friday - just with big shoota and rein-forced ram.

And finished off modelling my looted wagonz with bitz ready to paint.

Paints have gained another layer of dust :(

here some pooh photos (I'll update these in a day or two)

Wow, can't wait to see these tanks painted.

Looted wagons looking sweet, looking forward to seeing those mega-nobs progress.

Me too ....

Got a bit done on the torso.
Spent the evening cracking on with the iron gobs. Legs tomorrow!

That's gooood man, wanna see those finished!

Whoa, this REALLY makes me want to convert some of my AOBR nobs now.... Simply amazing...

Oh FFS I want to see them finished too but I went and did something silly...

Even though I've got a bunch of kommandos to finish modelling too, I went and did this...



Since I'm gonna have 8 Manz, they need transport. Feth foot slogging them. What this? they can't go in a warkopta? never mind, they can have the battlewagon and my warboss and nobz can have a shiney new warkopta!

Paper mock... I'm going to reduce the tail pylon length to make the whole thing look a little stubbier. I'm gonna build it using a similar process as my fighta... so hoping it will turn out well...

For any A/C engineers amongst us, yes I am aware that this helo will suffer from serious torque reaction issues ;P may try and wangle in a tail rotor some how.

Is "TFU" a reference to Spaced by any chance?

haha, yes XD

I always loved the name "War-bastard".

Not watched spaced for years.... this calls for a dvd-a-thon

Mock up looks good, stubby tail sounds cool - how about contra-rotating dual rotors?

And gorkdammit, now I'm going to have to dig out my Spaced dvds too

Give it a giant Orky pusher prop in the tail.

The mega nobs heads are lookng good! Liking the mock up of the kopta too! Btw do you have any tips for converting grots becuse I need it for mt trykk to battlewagon conversion which is on my blog!

Got some feet on these fellas now. Definitely the most fidgety bits out of the way. Should be plane sailing from now on

Like this they look so funny, a bunch of Tweetys, very Hungry Tweetys eheh!

your meganobs are very cool! I like the conversions!

thanks guys.

This weekends whole effort has amassed to just this:



Wish I could have found a bit more time for it but I have exams to revise for :(

Great work, always wanted to see a Deff Squarun ork army.

knee pads are important!

Indeed, we don't want them to get a nasty graze if they fall over

My exams are over for now so I've been able to steal away some time to get the leg structures [hydraulics a pair of struts and stuff] done and fit the power plants [from the deffkopta] and I've glued a few pivot points on the legs now they're structurally done....

....next; arms!

Very cool!

RSJake wrote:I just heard of this game thing called Robogear, it's apparently like Warhammer 40k for young kids...anyway, they have these little jet things with huge engines that would look perfect for your Deff Squadrun! It is pictured below. You could chop off the roll bars and have an Ork popping his head up wearing goggles or something! I think it would look awesome! Anyway, just thought you'd like to see it. When I do get around to building up my Ork mob, I'm thinking of going this route!

Hey, any updates? We need pics dude!

Ive done a few conversion from robogear, there a treat for ork conversions, Ive made a few Deffkoptas out of them and made Tri-pod killa kanz out of them Il put the pictures up in June (when i get a better camera).

Any way great pics and I like the skin tone for your orks so keep going with them .

Wow. Those look great! You plastic-card-fu is very impressive.

Very Nice Mega Nobz

Those are some awesome MANZ conversion. Your orks are coming along great. Again love your skin tone.

tah very much guys,

got the arms attached and should armour built. These are not part of the drabber pattern template and the shoulders on my prototype were an after thought. I wasn't happy with them but I did have a few ideas as to how I could do them so I took the opportunity to make them each a little more individual by doing them all different.



putting the fist-armour atm.

Also, whilst I've been waiting for things to dry, I#ve made a start on my Warkopta;



I've decided against scratching a Valk as the chinork's look has been growing on me. The deffkopta makes perfect sense for the kokpit.... it's almost identical to the FW model afterall.

I've raised the blades profile [to stop any unwarey passengers getting decapitated] extended the blades out to @50mm and extended the skids to makle them appear a little more load bearing.

And that is one structurally complete MAN, ready for panels, detail and rivets... 3 more to go

Kopta is looking ace! So it's going to be a chinook type thing?

And this chap is looking sweeeeet!

Awesome.

loving your mega armored nobs!

Love your conversions and love blood axes! Great stuff!
