Well, here you go.





Trying to just be quick and dirty with most of this, really, since I wasn't sure how it'd come out, so I basically primed and drybrushed it about a bit with some awfully grimy folk art colors that I had in my basement. Seems to have worked okay though - it's enough to get the idea across, anyway.

I'm probably not going to work too much harder on this one, though I've been thinking it might be a fun piece to keep handy on my desk to practice painting glyphs on. Orky faces graffitti'd into the sides, or stuff like 'CRUSH DA UMIES' scrawled on it in paint or something.

Either way, it's enough for now. I'd be lucky if I got even one of these to hit the board to begin with, let alone not on my own boyz!

Great scenery piece. Even if you never get to use your apoc rules for it, it's still very thematic and, as you said, great practice.

I think the lesson here is the best way to enjoy GW's games is to not use any of their rules.--Crimson Devil

Well done.

I'd like to see the fist be a different color than the crater.

But over all a great project, one I plan on copying.

Actually, in tune with the infamous 2e psychic power, you should've made a giant foot of Gork (or possibly Mork) stomping the battlefield.

I agree Aduro, possibly wash the fist with a rust brown color (iron oxide on the meteorite), or even drybrush streaks of black coming from the bottom of the fist to represent the scorching it would have gotten entering atmo... I keep saying it: looks great!

A little while ago I decided to go ahead and make a second rokk to complement the first.





I'll probably spray some blast/reentry burns on both when I next have my airbrush out, but in the mean while, here's both markers with a boy for scale.



I think I may actually look into gluing spare rhino doors and hatches onto these things, just for show. It's not really at the top of my to-do list.

If I make a third marker for the unlikely 3rd d3 rokk, it might be a giant ork head carved out of stone. That, or perhaps a big choppa. It's monstrously unlikely that even if I had 3 Rokks to use in a game all 3 would land on the board, though.

How about making another fist?

One can be, "Da Fist uv Mork" and the second can be, "Da Uvver Fist uv Mork."
Make a third, and it can be, "Da Uvver Uvver Fist uv Mork"

How about adding some blackened scorch marks, or perhaps leftover heat "lava" looking streaks to the bottom of the hand and foot? This would help separate the hand and foot from the crater and better give the impression that this thing rocketed down from the sky.

Are you really an Ork Mek I'm having dire suspicions that you truly are a greenskin! Brilliant idea, well executed, well done!

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.
