Hey, when you get it all finished :( Can you have a picture of the entire army together?

That would be awesome

@Gitsplitta, HAZZER: Thanks.

@sir william the bold: A picture of the entire army together is long overdue. Hmmm... I have a long weekend this weekend, and a board and scenery I've "acquired" from a mate. Might see what I can do... (before it all gets returned...)

So, Meganobz.

Codename: Predator. It's been so long... I *think* I made this twin linked shoota originally for Morgrim - but it suits him just fine...


Codename: Thunda'amma (was that his codename before?). Added twin linked shootas. Supposed to be cyclone missile launcher like in implementation...

Front.


Right.


Back.


Left.


Switched out for Kombi-Skorcha.

I need to finish the Skorcha part of the Kombi-Skorcha, as well as make a Rokkit Launcha piece too. Also, Kombi-Skorcha and Kommbi-Rokkit replacements for Codename: Predator above. Not to mention the missing Codename: Lightning Klaws... (Codename... doh I can't remember them all now - anyway, he has twin linked shootas only, so no Combi-Rokkits or Kombi Skorchas for him...)

And for a bit of fun, just to prove Ork Warbosses will take on *anything*:

Morgrim vs our Pyranean Mountain dog (Einstein).

Catchya!

will the dog win? it look helpless. Love the conversion work mate.

@cormadepanda: Probably not win so much as just walk away...

Right, so more work on Kombi weapons...


Kombi-Rokkit front.


Kombi-Rokkit left. Internet cookie if you can guess the inspiration...


Kombi-Rokkit back.


Kombi-Rokkit right. Looks like those magazine mold lines need some more love...


Kombi-Skorcha front.


Kombi-Skorcha left.


Kombi-Skorcha back. A bit plain at the moment. Gotta see about attaching a tank...


Kombi-Skorcha right.

Catchya!

Looks awsome as usual.

I think Arnie would not manage to beat this boy up.

Interesting thought, you know how the Tau got that self destruct power!!!!!! Should he not have a nuke ?!!!

Well, the original Predator was not so heavily armoured, but probably as tough and a lot stealthier... and are you sure that Rokkit isn't a mini-nuke?

Guess what - more progress!

Twin Linked Shootas back. I didn't take a picture from the left - it looks pretty much like the Kombi-Rokkit left above

Kombi-Skorcha back. Again, I didn't take a picture from the left - it looks pretty much like the Kombi-Rokkit left above

Catchya!

man i cannont say anything... ive ran out of complements... seriouly..now it either going to me saying good each time lol, or mass cirisiem!!!!! btw blog had an update...

You are just rollin' Arakasi!

They look just as good as ever (although I miss seeing them in person on occasion). I would say, however, that if you are going for a cyclone missile look you would be better to have it central and spreading from the same branch (so to speak) so it looks much more like a SM cyclone - just now it looks like two separate shoulder mounted weapons.

@HAZZER: It gets like that Left a comment for you (not very helpful I'm afraid...)

@Gitsplitta: The great thing about returning to already started projects is that some of the work has already been done!

@Imperial Monkey: Thanks - and you never know when you might see them in person again (though I'd wait until they are finished...) Yeah, the inspiration was the cyclone missile look, but the interpretation appears to have veered somewhat. I thought it was the weapons not being large enough, but I could see how having it branch from the centre would help too. The real question is, not whether it faithfully represents a cyclone missile launcher, but is it okay/worth changing... Hopefully, yes/not. I can always try again if GW ever releases new Meganobz. Meanwhie, I had already planned something for the space in the middle...

Didn't get a chance to setup for an army photo shoot (was a bit windy outside where I would need to set up the table and terrain), but, after some lack of inspiration managed to get back in the saddle and progress some more. All elbow join rivets done. Codename: War Machine is almost finished - just needs his arm pistons (they all do) and *maybe* some cables running from the guns (still considering that) - and his base of course (again, all do). Also I am partially through riveting Codename: Light'ning Klaws. But enough rambling - on to the pics!

If it was'nt enough that they all look awesome it is definatly made even better by the fact they all have interchangable weapons. simply stunning. cannot wait to see them painted up

War machine is just awesome... so imposing and over-the-top!

I have been lurking not saying anything then I saw this latest update now I just cant speak that twin gunned war machine is a fantastic idea and conversion

War Machine, dakka dakka dakka!!!!!!, where did you get those ammo belts from???

Stinky

i love the ammo conneting with the backpack!!!! very very nice conversion!

@bigfish: Thanks! Well, three of them have interchangeable weapons. The original I painted up doesn't, and neither does Codename: War Machine (but I can live with that).

@Gitsplitta: He is. He *was* my favourite - but I think it has just as much to do with how close to finished they are. Codename: Light'ning is now edging him out as he is nearly complete now too (see below).

@lone dirty dog: Always nice to lure out a lurker! I must be doing something right

@stinkyfive: Re ammo belts - see below...

@HAZZER: Thanks again HAZZER.

Right - so there have been a couple of requests about the ammo belts again. This is where you need to go: Zinge Industries operated by our very own Zinge. Here is his News & Rumours thread [url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/349840.page]
Zinge Industries - Bits Site - Flexible, Chainsaw Teeth, Dags & Checks Released 24/08/12[/url] and his Dakka P&M Blog Zinge's Plog - Playing with my bits rather than just selling them!. Because I am nice, here is a link straight to his Flexible Ammo Belts - but there a lots of other cool stuff on there too!

Back to the Meganobz! Getting into the final detailing aspects now...


Codename: Thunda'amma - front right - now with cape!


Codename: Thunda'amma - back.


Codename: Thunda'amma - left.


Codename: Predator - back - now with more skullz. He will have a lot more before I am done with him!


Codename: Light'ning - front - complete with addition of Stikkbomb chukka, "shield" plate and robe - well, except for the arm pistons and base...


Codename: War Machine - front - now with additional Stikkbomb chukka.

Catchya!

Found a place for the Stikkbombz on Codename: Predator... it's supposed to be a reference to the triangular, three dotted targeter on his shoulder cannon...

Damn...missed a load in my absence...

Morgrimm finished and loads of progress on the meganobz....

Not enough complimentary phrases to cover them all so just..

Wowzers...good job man!!!

looking good boss!

I like dem manz and dem ammo belts! well done.

@monkeytroll: You would think you would have learnt by now - no absences from DakkaDakka!

@HAZZER: Thanks as always!

@cormadepanda: You would I was hoping to get everything finished (Morgrim, Meganobz) before starting painting my entry for your competition, but I think I may need to start that this week - otherwise I won't have it finished on time!

Have been working if not posting... Codename: Predator:

Here you can see the addition of some grill to his armour plates to sort of mimic the webbing of the Predator.

Then I got a lot more done - he is really starting to come together now!

Front - gob horns (to mimic the Predator lower teef), skulls, hair squig.


Right.

Catchya!

Incredible, unfortunately for you we are starting to expect that from you.

I wonder if you can find a tyranid "skull" to strap to his back?? Bit like the alien skulls on display in movie!

@Camkierhi: Unfortunately? Do you have a pic of the "skull" to strap to his back?? Bit like the alien skulls on display in movie? I assume the original movie - I can always get it out and flip through it to find it...

Started on the arm pistons, starting with Codename: War Machine. These things are *really* fiddly...

Pistons looking good...I'm assuming they work, right?

That's just crazy there....

Gods thats a good looking model.

Ref. the predator bit.. see pics, sorry they are from predator 2. Probably breaking a million laws posting screen caps here, but best way to explain.

Just thought it would look cool, maybe a modified Zoenthrope head or something.

@monkeytroll: Of course!

@Gitsplitta: More crazy to come...

@Camkierhi: Yeah, I like him too. Ah, Predator 2, it never really did anything for me... Anyway, I thought you were referring to a skull being worn by the Predator, not a trophy on a wall - which I would never have worked out without the pics... Believe it or not, it is actually possible to put *too* much detail on a mini, and there is always an issue with scale too. For example - two things that have been dismissed so far - the plastic Ork skull on the boyz frame - it's just too large for Codename: Predator - and the Chaos Space Marine Lord kit has some shoulder trophy racks with various skulls and helmets on it - best I can describe is they broke the silhouette of the model and just didn't look right. Oh - a third thing- I was going to put more skulls on the left shoulder pad, but again it wasn't working for me. Actually, I could keep this up all day. I tried up to seven skulls on the chest strap, and also using skulls on spikes for the gob horns. Anyway, the point is, too large a skull will unbalance the model. I suspect a Zoanthrope or other large Nid head or skull will fall into this category. I may be able to work the Nid skull from the Chaos Space Marine Lord kit trophy rack onto the back - I'll give it a try and see where it goes...

In the meantime, more pistons, this time for Codename: Light'ning Klaws

Not really visible from the front (or sides for that matter...)


Better from the back. The attachment points are more "accurate" this time around too, attaching to and extending out from the forearm plate edge...


And a good one from the back left.

Catchya!

They look perfect.

Will be stealing soon. 8)

Ref. skull, no worries was just thinking out loud. Looks sweet as is.

Need to get my mits on some MANZ.

looking good!

Ver' nice
