Airfix 1;72 is but somebody does it in 1;48 or 1;35 which will work perfectly for it...

aye, found 1:48 might have to wait to get it though. Just bought a battlewagon, upgrade sprue, painboy & 2 boxes of lootas..... so all my spending money gone.

Cammo pants done.... in hindsight, I probably should have tried it out on a model other than my warboss first but it came out alright so no drama!

Quick update, Irongob is finished.

The original Irongob on my test-nob was well executed but It definitely needed an injection of colour.

I took inspiration from the 'Eavy Metal team's Ghazkul Thrakka.... or copied it to the detail XD I like, Hope you do to.

"I got wot on mi face?"

I like the warpaint on the warboss but it needs to be a little more vibrant. Cant see it very well on his face other than that he looks great!

Really really nice stuff on here. Liking the colour scheme and the concept. tbh i would have wanted to make the battle wagon based on the eldar falcon model. that way it would have been a flying battle fortress and would have fitted in with the flying theme you talked about before.
anyway cant wait to see more

You'll have to trust me that it stands out plenty.... its blazing orange at its lightest. I think it comes down to my shoddy phot skills [or complete lack of XD].

Thanks for kind words, I'll finish this guy tonight [weather he likes it or not!]

Wow, very nice painting. I like the weapon mods, too. Might I suggest swapping the bad moon banner for a bloodied axe, though?

Man these are some sweet looking Orks. The only thing stopping me from getting my boyz off the ground is the skin. I just cant get it to work. I may go with a red skin color, give them that Red-Hulk look. Again, your boyz look amazing!

You might....

but I prefer to look at them as trophies rather than any kind of personal Iconography. Especially when one of my regular opponents plays bad moons [I have a bad habit of handing it to him ]. Besides, it looks okay and I'm not too good at sculpting so it's just easier for me to leave it.... lazy git!

I'm here, bellyaching that I dont pick up my paintbrushes and then....

It dawned on me that I've been playing around with plastic for a while....

....look see what I done ;D

[WIP 2 looted boomwagons & Deffrollawagon]


*EDIT* images have been updated [left boomwagon was the "top" one before editing]

Here's my whole 'support' section.

Got 2 boxes of lootas... GW have failed to impress me with a box of 4 lootas and a mek [just what long-range fire support needs... a short-mid range char?]

my koptas [da green baronz] have just had the cybork Nob buzzsaw arm transplanted.



I have summed up my irritation of only getting 4 lootas per box in the medium of conversion... nothing ground breaking, I just stuck all the special weapons I had knocking around together. They blend in with the rest quite well so that's enough for me.

look see

Love your loota onversions.

Your looted tanks are looking fantastic, as well as your painting! Would be interested to know how you paint your grey?

I've updated some of those pics for your perusal.

I reduced the profile of my other wagon, I think it looks better like that and finished bodging those lootas.

My grey isn't rokkit science.

1] Astronomican grey base coat
2] Codex grey dry brush
3] Badab black wash
4] thinned Codex grey highlight
5] further Codex grey highlight when dry

simple

Lovin it. Like Art35 said those lootaz are sick. Love your paint style also. Very nice.

cheer guys, glad you likey...


Quikk update. Been painting a bit today, gonna do more after my dinner but thought I'd leave this here for now.




Blood Axe glyph on the loin cloth doesn't stand out much :/

Warboss is coming along nicely.

I can see the warpaint much more clearly now. I must say that the warboss is coming along quite nicely. Keep up the good work

nice I am subscribed

I done more

The painting on your boss is great but I absolutely love the lootas you made. The gun on the left looks massive, any chance of a close up?

Coming along very nicely!

You Dun Guud!

I second the close ups on lootaz

Warboss is looking very nice.

Right, now I'm sobre I've taken a few better pics.... nearly there now, just some cables n' bitz. l

i lobve the skin tone

Dude I'm in love with your painting style. That is pure awesome.

Da Boss is a win for sure!!!

Excellent Boss! One you can be proud of.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Got him good and finished! Gonna repaint and base my finished Nob to fit the colour scheme I developed and then make a start on my Big Mek .

so I present to you;

Zognutz Irongob - Kommanda ov Da Deff Skwodrun - Blood Axe mercenaries

Awesome. Could only be awesome-er if you used a less busy backdrop for your pics!
