Dice roller

= Probably the most win I have eer seen in one thing

**Thalor**

I like the dice roller idea, first time I've seen it.

**AAA**

hey guyz!! real life got to me again, and so my dice roller had to be put on hold. But I've managed to make a 2nd wartrukk now.

the one on the left is the new trukk.

do you think I need to raise up the height of the new trukk? coz my first one is taller?

C&C please?

**CaptainRavenclaw**

I don't know how you make those things, but you've got real scratchbuild skills! Better than my nunchuck skills.

I think the height of it is fine!

**aunshova**

That's some serious win right there.

**Eldar Vampire Hunter**

nice, I like the powered pizza cutter!
Looks ready to chew 'umies.

**Werdes**

The height dont matter that much (unless you want to go for the orky HUGE style)

**AAA**

thanks for all the comments!!

I was just curious if the height was right, coz I haven't seen a GW trukk in real life. And I thought it lacked the height.

but now it's all cleared up, next up is the armor and rivets.

P.S.

don't be surprised if there's no frequent update. been busy with school lately, but I'll still try to sneak in a little time to finish my projects.

**AAA**

Alright the moment of truth has come! I am now going to paint a figure!!

Now before I go on I would like to know your opinions and suggestions if I could improve it somehow.

BTW they are still basecoats.

**mcfly**

Washes.

**AAA**

Thanx Mcfly!

I'll put washes once I've gotten all the members of the squad painted.

**KingCracker**

good scratch building skills, you can paint... DICE ROLLAS!!!! my god youve got..... IT!
yea wash them puppies and they are going to look awesome.
On the new trukk, only thing to me, is the cab looks WAY to wide. It doesnt have to be as wide as the back part. other then that looking good

**Paul Atreides**

Wow. Do you have some special technic not to make the cardboard warp?

Your trucks are fantastic. So is the dicerolla.

**Savnock**

Great work. If you're new to this, you're going to make an amazing vet.

And although washes will help with da Orks, you might want to highlight first. Try it on a test fig- one shade lighter for highlights, then wash to tie it all together. Otherwise they will probably turn out too dark overall.

Great work, keep it up!

**AAA**

Here they are! My first mob. Coz they're going into the trukks. Now I still have to do a bit of orange to the rust part and white red and black for tattoos. But basically they're done. But the base isn't painted yet coz I wanted to make sure if I'm still going for the dessert look or maybe something else.

that's it so far. Up next will be my 'Ard boyz. Now try to guess what they look like now that you've seen the first ten boyz from AoBR.

oh and C&C are welcome!

**CaptainRavenclaw**

They look great, especially for your first squad! Are those the first GW models that you've painted? If so, very well done!

I reckon the main thing is to get them all looking uniform, don't worry too much about details cos they consume time. Get all your boys painted first, then give some extra special attention to your leaders and characters!

Keep up the good scratchbuilds!! PS how do you get your cardboard to not warp?

**fat patty**

Wow. Ace terrain. The pizza cutta nob is exquisite. Great job!

**SamG123**

OMG loving the idea of that dice rolla that is genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love your work

**AAA**

KingCracker: Thanks for the kind words!! I don't know why I widened it, but I cant take it apart anymore coz it's primed already. Plus it doesn't really matter though if I get owned with my big wide trukks as long as they look bad ass, or weird enough to be orky!!

Paul Atreides AND s.j.mccartney: I don't have any special technique. I just make sure that the cardboard edges are glued to a sturdy piece. Take the 2nd trukk. the roof is from card board. But the sides are made of faombaord. So the edges are the only ones getting glued. (hope this makes sense).

Savnock: I hope I become a vet. Coz my life seems to get busier.

fat and sam thanks!!!

**AAA**

Can anyone tell me what color to use for my desert bases? please I really need to know.

thanks!!

**enmitee**

if your unable to use citadel paints, a simple dark brown for a base coat, followed by a lighter or beige brown highlight.

**Paul Atreides**

Yes it does make sense. Thank you.

**AAA**

Thanks enmitee! can't wait to get them done! although I just experimented with one of the boys, and I found out it's a paint to highlight (paint) the base when the figure is all done.

glad I could help Paul!

**AAA**

Hi guyz!! Been busy with life. I just managed to paint the pipe of the dice roller. Been doing some thinking about kustamizin me boyz, and I'll do some work tomorrow.

In the mean time enjoy these pics.

I know I botched up at the tip and at the bottom, but no worries they'll be inserted in the holes so they won't be seen.

Too bad I can't do the same for my paint job =)!!

**AAA**

Here's more pics of how the thing is looking now.

just added bitz and pieces from whatever stuff I could find.

**AAA**

Hey guys I need your opinion on this.

does the big fan add on look to big to you? or is it just right?

and do you spot anything that could be done to improve this piece?

also I'm looking for a way to somehow paint goo like pattern on the pool thing.

thanx!!

**AAA**

Hey guyz been a while...

Finally got around to painting the 2nd squad. With a help from my slave.... I mean friend!!

d slave at work!!

he's still new to painting so he got the chance to mess around with my stuff.

**AAA**

Here's a WIP of my Boss turned into a big mek. It's not final yet, but just liked to show it to you guyz so you can critique it before I start with the arms.

**Wrexasaur**

Man this thread is a perfect example of how awesome DakkaDakka is for the image hosting.

SUCH A COOL ARMY AND TERRAIN

Brain overwhelmed by da koolness intensity. So many things to say. The dice roller is simply genius, really fantastic idea and build. Your vehicles look fantastic, but I don't think I saw any pics of the painted thing. Maybe I missed it because my eyes fell out after seeing your finished terrain and dice roller. The toxic waste pipe is really convincing. For some reason most of this stuff reminds me of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, and the Road warrior series.

I hope to see more of your super class stuff

**Vipera**

I like the fat nob!!
