Alles klar, herr kommisar

Well, in addition to my inquisitional party for my ][munda rules, I want to get some orkz and Eldar included in the fun. Where as my Inquisitional party will focus on unconverted, and mostly repainted models, and my Eldar will focus on my standard Eldar, my Orkz will get some fun conversions.

This warboss, amoung other ork goodies, was given to me by a friend who has no more use for his orkz. Of course, he can't paint them for crap, and his friends cut and glued them together horribly, so it's a piece of work.

Either way, this is Da Kommisar... or what will become him. On the weekend, the same friend will be going back to Calgary, and he'll pick me up some greenstuff (I'll also end up using it on his Nightbringer, which I'll be painting for him).

When he's done, he'll have a full coat and all that fun gubbinz. He'll probably be a flash gitz of some kind too, so his weaponry will be altered.




It's worth noting that this is going to be my first major GS conversion. I've done some capes and junk before, but never something this big. Wish me luck!

All that techno-bable on the sides of his hat and you say this is yer first GS go? I'm impressed.

I'll be watching this one. Can't wait to see how he comes out!

Oh, just an update before I go to bed. I cut off the spikes/skull on the shoulders, and removed the entire piece of the back. I've also begun stripping the right arm from another one of my friend's old metal warbosses (amoung three GK terminators), since I lost the arm of this bugger. I also went and cleaned up all the mould lines.

Very nice.

Da BloodAxes is on da march!

Is that Steven Tyler reincarnated as an Ork?

Good work so far.

I know it's your warboss, but part of thinks it would be a hilarious grot herd...

Your thread title made me laugh so i thought i'd have a sneaky peak.

Very nice, I love warboss conversions. I think I'm going to have to get an AoBR box set.


Looking forward to seeing more.

well that title gave me a flashback to my childhood. Like where your heading with this one so I will definately have to keep an eye on it.

way awesome!!!!!!!!

Now 'dats a tongue!

Looking good so far. I've seen a thread like this before, and it turned out to be a pretty good conversion!!

Alles Klar, Herr Kommissar

Here's the first update. Used up the last of my greenstuff to make a tie and get started on his jacket. I won't have any new greenstuff until the end of the weekend, so it'll be a nice break to get some homework done

Anyway, here's where he's at now:




Thoughts? What do you like? Hate?

Loving the tie

This guy is wicked.

The ties awesome and the braids a great touch! How about a looted Heavy Bolter for the gun?

Alles klar, herr Kommissar?

Well, got some brownstuff from my friend who just got back from Calgary, and got right down to business.

I managed to do the cloak of the jacket, and all that's left is the right arm and some gun modifications, which I'll do once I've finished stripping the damn thing.

Other then that, I'm not sure what to add, if anything. Anyone have any ideas?






Thoughts? What do you like? Hate?

loving this. how do you do the folds in the cloak? quick tip?

Luck, folding, squishing, and riding a needle inbetween crevices. Really, just make a thin sheet and play around with it.

Yarrork is looking great so far. There's some fingerprints on the green/brown stuff, but other than that, he's really shaping up. Looking forward to seeing more.

He needs a squig.

I'd love to give him one, but sadly, I don't have any.

looking awesome man, when you getting back in calgary? we need to have another game

Around Xmas, as soon as I'm done my final.

UPDATE:
Alles klar, herr Kommissar?

The sculpt is finally finished, and the old boy is ready for priming (along with a Nightbringer and three Grey Knight Terminators)




I decided against modifying the gun because, after closer inspection of my bitzbox, I simply don't have the pieces to get the job done right. Other then that, I'm fairly happy with the conversion, and can't wait to get him painted.

Nice work! Go Calgary!

Once I find out when I come back for Xmas, we'll set up a gameday, and you can see him in person

...and me too...

Not sure whether I'll paint him with my colours (blue/white/gold), or a more imperial scheme...

A more Imperial scheme might suit him better. He seems like a Blood Axe to me. Whatever scheme you choose, he needs a golden gun.

SoG

I kinda like the way the coat looks in brown like it is now, only of course painted and all that. Anyways love it

Yeah, a brown leather finish would look really great on that jacket, actually. Happy accident to see that before there's even a drop on him!

Looking really great.

Fantastic work and sculpting.

That's awesome.
