(btw my work is really badly painted)

My Ork Looted Rhino


My Ork Battlewagon with a kill kannon


pic might be hard to see (venerable dreadnought)


My WIP ork warboss hoping to count as gaz



Fixed up the pictures thanks Nicorex

The paint takes practive. It looks good, more practice and itll look much better. I really like soem of your conversion as well. That kill kannon is just crazy lol.
Also what is that dred thing in the last picture? Its hard to really tell exactly what it is.

Its a ironclad dreadnought but all the black primer must have done it
Ill try to have it painted up so we could see it
dont worry i improved my painting by lots since i painted the wagons

A good picture can make a crappy model look pretty good. A crappy picture can make a great model look horrible. Take better pictures....

One way to take better pics is to have more than one light source. If you happen to have two desk lamps point one almost straight down or slightly angled back towards the mini, then use the other lamp and point it straight at it from the side. also move the lamps in pretty close. I have 2 regular desk lamps with 60 watt bulbs in them I place them about a foot to a foot and a half away from the mini.
I took this pic with that set-up.


Now if I had had a third lamp(like I do now) I would have placed it on the other side so as to eleminate the shadows.


Also check to see if your camera has a macro setting(it usally looks like a big flower on the more basic point and shoot cameras), use that setting and get close to the mini. I just place my camera on the desk infront of it, anywhere from 8 to 10 inches away, but a small tripod would help with getting diffrent angles. You wont get any profesional photo gigs if you take pics this way, but it shure would help you show off your work. If you cant get anymore lamps, take your pictures during the day near the window, with your single lamp.
Otherwise from what I can see, it looks like you have some good conversion work going there.

Yea im a noob at photo taking to i just recently begain to take pictures so i still need to improve

Hey no worrys. We all began at the beginning. and we were all poopy at it untill we got some practice.

Is that a hinged door/cover/cap on the end of the Kill Kannon? If so, I love it.

Yea it is so just in case i can use a battlewagon without a killkannon i can just say the top is closed

People please post some of your conversions to and nirorex what was that defiler thing

Not too bad. I like the kill cannon on the battle wagon. Heres a couple of mine.



A baneblade for Khorne following guard. Its not done yet, but hey.




This is a standard Leman Russ. All of my russ' have this turret conversion.




This is an Ork Battlewagon/Skullhamma I made. 2 battlewagon kits, and 2 trukk kits.




Since these pictures were taken I built sides on the trailer and a back "cupola" on the turret.


More conversion pictures to come soon.

DUDE THAT TRUKK IS F'IN AWESOME. Wants so badly -drools-

OP I like the idea of using, is it a gorger model, as the base for an ork. I dont think ghazgkull is the way to go, perhaps a cybork or something. But very good pieces and would like to see the finished piece

Yeah, that Trukk/battlewagon/thing is epic. I love seeing the Orky versions of vehicles like that...

Heres some more.



This is my Nork Dedog for my guard. I realized that my ogryns are going to be expensive because i need to buy a pewter ogryn for each of the resin ones, just for the arm.




Color Sergent Kell




Guardsman Marbo




Generic guardsman with Demo Charge.




My Ork warboss, Bull Doza.




Big Mek Stompa. The lifta droppa is the chainsaw arm with the grabbin claw arms for the "prongs" and a fire prism crystal for the "focus"




An Ironclad Dreadnaught made from a Black Reach dread. The hammer is designed off a pneumatic piston hammer used in slaughterhouses.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
@ GlauG - As soon as I get some extra money, and come up with a plan, I will be making a fire truck and a bus to go along with it.

And I forgot some. Some of these are actually painted.




Looted Soul Grinder





Looted Wave Serpent





Chaplain w/ jump pack





Chaplain in terminator armor with a thunder hammer (back when they could have a t.hammer, now it counts as a storm bolter)





Master of the Forge with conversion beamer.




I think thats it folks. If I find some more, I'll take pictures and post them.

I am working on my guard now I don't need to see kewl konversions for da boyz must resist buying 2 battlewagons and a truck must resist.

I can show you some of my friends guard conversions infact I have his guard in my house right now

Does anyone know where i can find some cheap guitar strings?
For Now Enjoy my friends Leman Russ Conversion (not sure what it is)

Any music store? wal-mart? (don't shop there though, wal-mart is the devil.)

Find someone that plays guitar and ask if you can have any of their old strings when they change them.

I keep seeing more and more awesome ways of scratchbuilding kans and dreads, genius

Can anyone tell me the price for some gutair strings? or a alternative with a equal effect?

Caboose i really like that wagon of yours but the thought of buying 2 battlewagon and 2 truck kits at the same time haunts my mind

I would say not, deffdreads are meant to be big, stompy and killy . . .

but of course there will be a limit, there shouldnt be tho

new pictures of conversion and my good old warbosses upgrade And the ironclad paintjob NOT DONE all conversions in this post are still in wip

first kinder deffdread

peace brother

Hello everyone i felt that its time that i share my latest conversion. Another ork one.... A semi kitbashed semi scratched built battlewagon







the troop compartment is large enough to fit the gw battlewagon
its only shiny in the pictures in real life its not shiny

Oh and most importently put some of your own conversions

Very nice conversions, but this one is ace: characterful and unique. This one's going on the harddrive for future reference
