I really wanted to make a big mek stompa, but I didn't know how to make one

Please help! Thanks

Check out this WIP (I cannot remember where I found it, sorry to the creator!):

I'll be basing my (eventual) one of off it - or, more accurately, I'll be sending it to my commission artist for inspiration! (No time, and most likely not enough skill here...)

More inspiration:

Found here:

And yes, not only does THE-WAAAAGH.com rock, they're probably a really good place to go for all things Orky. (And Orcy.)

Seconded the Waaagh.

And the once great but now retired Scarpia, take a look at his Mekboy Gargant here:

Such a shame he loathed the new ork codex so much he quit. He was one of the greats...

What should I make my lifta droppa out of?????

If you have an extra arm, then your klaw should be made of plasticard, and should be shaped like a Killa kan's Rippa (I think thats what its called) the claw thing, all you have to do is make two claws by making the shape of the klaw many times, stacking them, then sanding them to the right shape and glue them together.

Thats all I got

Here is one that I am working on for a friend. I cut the close combat arm at the chainsword, and then cut a rubber eraser to form the claw! I used spare bitz and plastic card strips to form the supports. the inside is a truk radiator and part of a guard lascannon. Hope this helps.

you can use the legs from a sentinel.
The ball joints look quite good.

Yes he was very good ..

For mine, I cut off the chainsaw portion of the cc arm, then attached the horns that came with the head to form a crescent shape. Simple but looks fairly decent.

Sentinal legs make very good lifta droppas.

For the 'claw' end, I may use the deffRolla pistony bits from the new battelwagon accessory sprue.

Does anyone know if this would fit well on a regular stompa?

Personally, I would get some stalk sentinel legs, say 8 of them ( I know its a chore), loot the hell of them, arrange them the same as the FW lifta, and stick em on an arm, that would be pretty freakin awesome

edit: Ive been ninja'd

In short, yes it would.
