Apocalypse and Apocalypse Reloaded. 3 variants, regular Stompa, Mek Stompa, and Klaw Stompa

Yet another reason why orks rock!

Those are some great painted orks.

I like your Ork Mob The green is real sharp and metallics look good

Well, the comma is supposed to precede a space - rather than replace it - but otherwise it looks good. I'm afraid to report, however, that you've used up your post quota and will have to wait three days before posting again.

The results of 30 days of frenzied painting.

Flash! It looks good, although it's hard to make out much detail from so far away. Congrats on getting so much done though!

Excellent work and well done on getting so much done!

The pictures were taken the by one of the organizers. I'll take a closer picture of 10 or so Boyz plus one of the nobz later.

absolute insanity.

That's what painting like that would bring me.

Congrats on getting so many orks finished in so short a time frame x.x...

Jeez Iffy, big congrats on completing your goal! The boys look great!

Close ups of some Boyz and Nobz

Yup it's official folks. Iffy is 100% Bat-@#$@ crazy. ^_-.

Ridiculous level of detail for such a feat! I am envious of your dedication!

Progress on the Stompa

Beginnings of feet, a dental floss container glued to a disposable foam shoe sponge. The piston is simple styrene tube cut at a 45 degree angle. The posts are made from medicine bottles (told you I had a lot of these lying around)


Orkified with some plasticard dags and lots of rivets.


Detail of the arm post. I found that the inner diameter inside the cap of a spray paint can is an exact fit to the outer diameter of the medicine bottles I'm using for the arms. I cut one in half to make the shoulder pads. I'm experimenting with adding an outer ring to the arm post to support a close combat weapon/claw/lifta-droppa.


The component pieces almost ready for final assembly and then some painting.

I am sure that the stompa will look fantastic when it's done, but I just can't 'see' it at the moment....

Sprayed black and then with a camo dark green. Currently has 4 magnetized hardpoints. One at the end of each arm post and one on top of each shoulder guard.

Paint looks great! I prefer the cyclops stompa can't wait to see your next pics!

I need to get better lighting than the kitchen. The base color is more green and I just started dabbling with a little bit of paint on the edges of the plates. Nowhere near done.

damn, your models are sweet, nice work.

I'm loving this Stompa. Great work.

Making progress on the painting. Placed some Boyz for scale. You can see the magnets on the top of the shoulder guards and on the bottoms of the end caps. I'll probably hit the rust spots with some Devlan Mud and then run some bestial brown/orange wash along the sides of various plates.

Do you have, you know, a job?

The speed and quality is astonishing.

Yes, I do have a job . To be honest, the hardest thing about this model was drinking enough wine to get the foil I needed. Sigh, the sacrifices I make.

How many hours from start to finish would you estimate the boyz took you (from sprue to table?) Your painting speed is always inspiring and you have truly surpassed yourself here!

Not really sure. The family took a trip on 11/9 and I was able to trim and assemble a bunch of Boyz (77 of them, 22 of them had already been basecoated and washed) while she drove. I finished the 9 deffkoptas around 12/16 and probably started on the Boyz around then. By 1/16, I was done with all of them. Not sure how many hours went into that 30 day period though. I logged my time for the Deffkoptas and it came out to be just a hair over an hour per model (after priming)

That is some really great painting for such a short amount of time, and damned fine even if you had twice the time!
That Payne's Grey really seems to work. I just picked up a bottle the other day, and am excited to try it out. Because, in case that last sentance didn't nail it for you like it did for me, I am a giant geek

All I can think now for the Stompa is "I has a bucket!" (and a shovel). I think maybe it needs a more pronounced and aggressive jaw, but it is looking good!

Wait... you trimmed and assembled models in a moving car and STILL have all your fingers? My compliments to your mrs on her smooth driving!

It's not like I was planning on talking to her for 4 hours each way
