Hi there! First post AND Ork Scratch Build!

I don't know how this feller would be used in a game. He's basically a walking artillery gun, and I am unsure as to what other weapons I could smack on him. Right now he has no arms, which, because of a lack of smashin' stompin' choppin' bitz, seems very un-Orky. I am looking for crits and comments, and also any ideas as to how he could be used in the game. I don't have ANY building materials (i.e. spare bitz, GS, plasticard) so I used an Xbox game case and all sorts of broken toy bits.

SORRY FOR THE BIG PIX

I call him the Orklopz:

Looks cool You may want to model the peices using green stuff to add details, or touch it up in some places. Maybe you could add a top half to the cannons mouth to make it look like the cannon is coming out of the machines mouth. You might also want to consider adding more to the back of the cannon because it looks a little bare and unfinished. So far it looks good though You could use this peice as a walker/mobile artillary, but besides that I have no idea. Looking forward to seeing this peice finished and painted.

The only thing I could think he could be is a lobba. But I like the way it looks regardless.

I vote Lobba also, looks cool!

hmmm it looks to awesome to be just a lobba

I second that you should adsd a top half to the head and have the cannon coming from his mouth

I do believe I have another "gob" like bit laying around, So I will try to give him an upper jaw. Another big appendage on top of the gun would add much needed detail to the back. So big ol' lobba it is!

UPDATES:

Had to build an upper jaw from scratch, it makes the (from henceforth known as) lobba look very gatorish. Added some fixins to the foot and even macgyver'd a base. Gave it a very, very, very, very primitive prime and glued it to the base. Startin' to look like a big, angry, bomb chucking squig.

Whats up with the green monkey head thing in the last picture of your first post.
