Sorry everyone, the Nobz are going away for the time being. I've assembled and started painting my Battlewagon, and am planning a centre-piece/diorama for my army. I currently have Wargaming ADD, and will be jumping and bouncing from project to project accordingly.
Will be updating soon!


Automatically Appended Next Post,Because Hadouken Is Too Bloody Lazy To Do It Himself:
Alright, went and took some pictures, although I didn't get any of the painted warboss base, so here's my Battlewagon so far:





That last image was just to show the armour plates/shields added around the hatch.
Some horribly blurry pics of the captain/commander/dude/whatever:




Looks much better in person, trust me. My camera's macro setting isn't very........macro.....ish.

Just need to use this 'moticon:
Aaaaahhh....That feels much better.

H.A.

Looking forward to paint

UPDATE! FINALLY. GOSH.

Well, first of all, my first attempt at 'proppa skulptin', using GS for anything other than filling gaps and such.
I call him Dave. Yes, just Dave. He's a 'Runna Squig' or maybe a 'Sprinta Squig' and his baby, whose name is 'Ankle Bite-a'
Here he is, be kind to him, he's been recently auto-adjusted:








My Painted AoBR Warboss base:




And a better, un-altered, picture of my Battlewagon Komanda:





Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, although not Ork related, I converted and painted a Termie Captain, just for fun. The sword arm is from the black reach commander/captain/dude in a cape guy, it's completely AoBR.







And my Ingenious Mud/Swamp/Marsh-thing Base Invention:



And one last Glory Shot, with a flash:


H.A.

ankle bite-a FTW

I'm hoping to get Dave and Bite-a primed today, and I'll probably have them finished by tommorow. I also plan to scuplt another one or two, maybe as bomb squigs. I was wondering if anyone had a size comparison pic of a squig next to a boy or a grot, as Dave is roughly up to a boy's shoulders.

HadoukenAvenger wrote:Electric [/i]fence, to be precise. The posts are made from ice cream sticks, the wire is....well, wire, the sign is a nail and some thin plastic and the power box is part of a nobz' slugga. It's based on some kind of foam and reinforced with my ghetto-style plasticard (plastic dinner plates. I can't find ANYWHERE in Aus that sells the real stuff.).

If your still looking for plasticard in Aus there is an Aus ebay store where you can get some it's called Back to base-ix and it also sells bitz and as the name suggests some nice resin bases.
And I know I am a bit late to the party but your red orks are AWESOME! I also like your objective marker. Good Job!

JUST UPDATE ALREADY DAMMIT MAN WHY WONT YOU UPDATE JUST UPDATE.

Well here it is:

First up, we have a fully-painted Dave and Ankle Bite-a:




Dave's back blends to yellow, although Auto-Adj. messed that up a bit.

Then, at last, battlewagon progress!









The number plate denotes that this particular wagon is the FIRST wagon bult by the army's THIRD Big Mek.
The first two were involved in Shokk Attack Gun and Stompa accidents, respectively.

Over and out,
H.A.




Automatically F***ed Around With Next Post :
Oh, and C&C more than welcome!

Looking good! Good idea with da numba plates!

I LIKE IT!

300TH POST WOOT.

@bigmek35:
I THANK YOU.

@Arakasi:
You'll notice a surprising lack of Mek, though.....
Am waiting for a torso and weapon from the UK.

Nice job
Like the kill tally

Yeah, I screwed the tally up about 3 times before I got it right, though.

My mind has been blown. I expect good things to come from here.

Quickly! Gather up the pieces! If my degree in Reconstructive Mind Surgery means ANYTHING, you'll live to see another day!

I don't think I've ever made someones mind blow before. It feels good, and thanks for the kind words

Hulk went from green to red, didn't he?

Yeah but Red Hulk is stupid

Just a quick question for anyone:
I've been thinking about a Necron counts-as army using tomb kings, with things like pyramids for monoliths, etc.
Just wondering if anyone's done this and, if not, BACK OFF IT'S MY IDEA RAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

^ seems ok to me

SLOWWWW PROGRESSSSSSS:






A random marine:





And something else, just to tease Arakasi:




COMMENTS FOR THE COMMENT GOD
CRITICISMS FOR THE CRITICISM THRONE

HADOUKENAVENGER.


DEAL WITH IT.

I tell ya what, that random marine looks outstanding! You gave the model so much more character with some basic converting. Well done sir!

Now then, that big mek looks promising

What are you using for the limbs?

What is that Not sure that was so much tease rather than confuse I await further updates!

@brother_zach:
Thank you! Would you believe me if I said it was completely AoBR? Well, all except the helmet. It was incredibly hard to cut the forearm from a Snap-Together AoBR marine. SUICIDALLY HARD.

@monkeytroll:
What am I using for them, or what am I using them for? CLUE NUMBER ONE: The robotic things are legs

@Arakasi:
It WAS a Star Wars toy, it is also big enough for a dreadnought to sit on, so some chopping is in order. And what's with people constantly demanding updates of me?

HAAADDOOUUUKEEEENNNN!......Avenger.

I'd believe ever word you said. Thats some pretty thick plastic in that kit but that didn't seem to stop you

I forgot to mention that the machine gun turret (the one without the grot) was mauled by my dog. It used to have a gun sight and gizmos, which are either sizzling in his puppy stomach acids or lying in the garden in a pile of....Never mind.

altHough not ork-RelAteD, I thOUght I should show you guys what's taKing up my time latEly.
It's a water fountaiN!
A 1/35 scale Italeri 'Village Fountain'.
It's different from the model than is pictured on the box, which surprised me.
ANYWAY PICTUREZ:





And some adjusted ones, so my WIP painting doesn't look as bad:



And a dramatic Glory Shot:

So I skimmed the hell out of your blog and picked up on just one thing,,, your thoughts about an egyptian themed necron army.

I have just one thing to say....DO IT!!!!

I was tossing up between Egypcrons and 40skaven and eventually decided on the Rats, but I think the idea is fricken cool and would love to see someone have a go at it.

I see what you did there (caps). Anyway, cool... water fountain, though it does seem a little bit out of place amongst your redskins, lol. In the most holy name of Kaesar, I commend thee and recommend thee keep up thine good works.

Well, as soon as my wallet allows, I'll get stuck in to it! I'll have to buy a unit of Necrons (for the weapons) and a unit of Tomb Kings for one test unit. Also, have you any ideas as to a pyramid for my egyptocrons?
By the way, your 40skaven are totally kick-ass!

I love your red orks. Nice to see people doing something which stands out from the crowd, and the colour actually looks really good.
Kudos to you, good sir
