so cool and as you said a lot better then spending more money on less models. keen to see what you do with the next 9

Well, number 2 is done. He has a pair of 4x4 wheels for its back legs. Thinking tank treads for one of them. about to head to the local hobby shop for a little bit of the old scrap.

Well dem nurgle boys got me good. Whooped me somethin fierce, as they say round these parts. Anyway, Unholy Martyr brought me a Leman russ to use as a looted wagon (I always wanted one of those). Think I am going to paint it up in the blue color scheme of the Death Skulls paint scheme, stick with that big amalgamation Waaagh theme I started for my army. Maybe I'll do a squad of Lootas that color too. I also have a looted Eldar Falcon I am working on too. The Russ will be a looted wagon with boomgun, and the grav tank will be a transport. That way I have versatility when it comes to what I can field. Anyway, off to bed with me. Working on my 2nd boar rider most of the day tomorrow, maybe #3 if I get the other done.

Remember, All's Waaagh that ends Waaagh.

Oh yes, oh yes. It's update 30 and all is well. Here is cyboar #2. I really like the way this one turned out with the 4 wheeler style tires on the back. I don't like him nearly as much as the nob, riding on the back of Professor Piggybottom (don't ask), but he is still cool. The next one I think I will do will be mounted on tank treads instead of legs or wheels. Anyway, enough yammering. Here is some pictures for you.




Oh, and the base is actually scratch made from a cavalry base from fantasy and a slotta base cut in half. Dig it. You know the routine for comments and all. I'm out.

Your stuff looks really good! I was thinking of doing a similar thing to my boar boyz.

I say do it man. They end up being cheaper in the long run than buying 3 bikes at 45$ versus 5 for 25$. Plus you can buy the regular boar boys, or the savage boar boyz, which will be the second part of this squad.

I got the package today. Thanks for the rhino as well. Love the nob. The mask in pure awesome. Sending your out tomorrow finally. Man I'm slow. Got some stuff in there you might be able to use for a Evil space elves as well.

Now to the Boar boyz. Frawg those things rock. They are some of your best work I think yet. I love how you are taking the snake bits to the next level. Dont see many of them out there and you are doing them justice. Again awesome work cant wait to see more.

Mailed out your package. You should get it Saturday.

Okay, so it's not a boar boy, but it's the only thing I could get done with work and all. Someone may find it a little offensive, but I don't care. I live in America and I don't care. Nyah nyah nyah nyah This counts as a bomb squig for my tank hunta squad.




Hope you enjoy.

great bomb squig!

Works for me. Seems fitting for a grot. And its just a game. Cool smoke. What was it made out of?

lol taligrot i has idea for the tractor beam you could but a guardsmen ffloating up halfway and wash the glass green

modelling tree flock. I posted the article on how to make it earlier in the thread. not hard, but takes some time.

Um, your message was hard to understand, but I get what you are saying. Yeah I am going to eventually go to a place in town that supposedly carries leds and batteries etc. and pick up stuff to do green lights in the bottom of it. Just going to take money and time. I have one, but not the other.

Well, I got Schanks model in the mail today. Thank you very much for that. Yours and mine look good together. I only need to make like 3 more and I'll have a kick ass squad. I'll post some pics when I get done. Started working on boar 3's paint job today. Starting out nice. You'll see soon. Unholy Martyr wants me to hit the 40K tournament scene with him, time to start working my ass off to finish building and painting my army.

Very nice. Glad you like. Hope those other models are a help to.

Schank, thank you for the Dark Eldar stuff. Not sure what to do with them yet, especially the two guys. I think the big thing is going to become a grotesque, but the others I am still unsure. Well I finished the 3rd boar boy today. Here are some pictures. I kinda went into this one without thinking too much, and you can tell by looking at him that he isn't up to par with the other two, but still a pretty good job, if I do say so myself.


The image is a little darker than I meant it to be. He is a really dark brown, but this almost makes him look black. Anyway, I have an idea for 4 and 5. I am thinking one of them will actually be riding a cold one, just to add some variation in to the squad. Should have done the Nob on it, but I guess hindsight is 20/20. Well, until next time people.

Well, While I am working on boar #4 I am trying to think of a good "counts as" Ghazkull model. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to stick with something that still fits my Snakebites theme. Maybe a metal tiki mask instead of a wooden one, and maybe do his power armor to resemble a gorilla. Any feed back would be useful.

could be a warboss riding a creature? maybe?? (for the gaz counts as)

bigfish wrote:could be a warboss riding a creature? maybe?? (for the gaz counts as)

No, that would be counts as wazdakka . I already have plans for him, this one has to be in a huge suit of mega armor. It will be for the tournament in January. Really want to do something impressive. I have a few ideas rolling in my head, but nothing concrete.

Just an absolutely massive Ork? Give 'im tusks strapped to his hands as Power Klaws, and a crossbow for the Big Shoota, with mystical mumbo-jumbo goin' all around because 'ez da Proffit uv da WAAAGH!!

This might be kind of tricky, but it would give you a good project to spend some time on, and would look truly unique when you're all done.

Build the framework for Mega Armor out of bone.

Add some seashell, thick hide, and bamboo wrappings to cover the edges of the framework.

Give him big shoulderpads made out of turtle shells, or one turtle shell and a skull from a bigger predator (like a hunting cat or something).

Throw on some obsidian and tusk powerclaws.

Viola! A propa Snakebite Ghazzy.

As far as actual materials for this, I could see some cut up sprue for the bone, maybe some bits of actual seashell (like those long razor clam shells), some plasticard for the obsidian, and greenstuff for skulls and turtle shells, as well as the other bits. And of course, you'll need to find a proper sized Ork to use as Ghazzy in the first place. Not sure how much of this would be feasible for ya, but maybe you can take some bits and pieces.

Good luck!

I never really thought about it like that. I think something along the lines of what Anvildude said, a real big ork, mixed with your idea of a suit of armor made of natural materials could work. Maybe a power fist like you said, made of obsidian, but make it look like a fist removed from a statue. I'll have to find stuff around my house. Almost done with boar 4. I'll post something soon.

Love the bom squig sorry bomb grechen!LOL! Het how about you check out my blog too? (Link is in signutre).

What's that you say? Updates please, well since you asked so nicely, and you finished all your dinner, you get a heaping spoonful of orks.

Here is Cyboar rider #4 on his Uniwheel boar. Inspiration was taken from one that Schank was working on. Ah Schank, you inspire me to greatness.




Here are the Stormboyz I have painted so far. I know I posted one of them, as well as Waaaghmachine here before, but I forgot to post the rest of the squad. So, ere you go.






And a group shot for that @$$


Well, back to painting. Working on converting another rider for my bike squad, and also starting a loota. Trying to get as much as I possibly can done before I head to Scarab in January. First tournament ever for me. Hoping for the best.

Really? 2 days and not a single response? Oh well. I'll keep on posting anyway.

I thought I'd posted, soz man! Love the conversion great use of a boar boy as a biker.

HAZZER

These Orks are awesome, Inspiring me to dig mine out again!

Loota #1 is almost complete. Work has been killer, but I have the next 2 weeks off, so I think I can get some more done. Yellow is a royal pain to paint, mainly when it is clothing. Also, I was contemplating the squiggoths I have and want. I think I may end up buying a fantasy giant model and making that a squiggoth too. Just have to work on an idea for a howdah and a general concept. Should be a fun conversion.

Played a game last night and used army builder to tweak my "Scarab" list. Apparently, you can take a big Mek, give him a power klaw, and then put him in Mega armor. According to Army Builder, he never loses either power klaw. So he is equipped with 2 power klaws, his Meks tools, and a twin linked shoota. People say, "But why? Why not just take a Big Mek in a Bw with a KFF and *fart noises*" I stopped listening after you started trying to reason with me as to how I should enjoy myself. I think the modelling potential alone should warrant more people making them. I want to continue with Schanks paint scheme, and do a squad of "space Mareens" in the Brazen Klaw paint scheme. Including a tech priest with a servo harness. Do sumfin!

I have one of those. It's covered in sawblades, and has sawblades for hands.

It's actually a fairly 'ard hitting model, and about 50 points cheaper than a Warboss with similar attacks and power- but with less survivability.

Never question why the speakers go to 11. Two Power Klaws sounds good ta me!
