Loving those planes. I may have to get some myself when my future WAAAGH! reaches Apocalypse level.

Once I finish looting mine, I just know you will be ready to play Apocalypse with some. Don't worry, I will post plenty of pics like I normally do.

Is it bad that I don't mess with the logos? If you look underneath mine, it still says what kind of toy they were. It is sort of an easter egg for me and I like knowing what the toy used to be. You never know, 10 years from now I may want to find another one.

Ahahahahahaha! You got me! I guess it depends on how good the rest of it looks! But really I was talking about some I have seen that looks like this with Orks in it!

Oh you are talking about the ones that do not look like much was done to change it from looking like a toy. Yeah I have seen those. If you are going to loot it, then well...you should loot it! I so want one of those buses now...

Lord Scythican wrote:I so want one of those buses now...

I have one! I mean my daughter has one...I have seriously been thinking about how to loot it, but I think it would take TOO much to do it and make it look good. That, and when you push on the driver's seat it plays "wheels on the bus go round and round". Kind of spoils the whole "Grim Dark" thing.

My tanks still make machine gun fire and bomb noises...

BTW, you better not loot your daughter's toys. You would be a bad father...

I would laugh really bad if I heard it play that song. Of course I never take anything seriously. It is probably the reason why I like orks so much. I was serious about those things above and the carny feel to them. Heck on one of my Custom Big Gunz, I have a oven mit and a pan of cupcakes...





I bet you didn't see that coming...

Everytime i can, i will take a look at those cheap toy stores, there is lots of those in my country, with cheap plastic cars, trucks and jeeps averywhere.

And everytime i see one of those , i could not help myself but think: hm, this could be a truck... And that is worse when i see helicopters or airplanes...

One of the reasons o love orkz is the oportunity to kitbash/convert. Its a matter of imagination, time, and work.

But there is a thing who piss me of: there, where GW got official stores, you could not use scrachtbuilt vehicles, who include some oficial bits? Like a truck with a official gunner?

I wouldn't play at a store that wouldn't let me use my looted toys. I bought three Stompas, a fighta, and a Baneblade for my orks. I have two toy planes and two toy tanks. I think the stuff I bought should allow me to use the rule of cool and use the rest. Its not like I am a total cheapskate.

Thanks! You wouldn't believe the stuff I put on my models. I sort of do a comedy version of the Golden Demon stuff, (you know how they have mushrooms on their bases?).

Well I am constantly making weird things on my stuff. Those cupcakes were the cap from a Tau missile pod. If you look at one of those looted toy tanks you will see a arm sticking out. That is supposed to be a big ugly Ork that is tearing himself out of the tank so he can unleash his fury on everyone, "Grive Muh Klosur, I wan'ta it'em wif muy Klaw!"

I usually put easter eggs (actual holiday looking eggs) on my Kroot Bases. Even though I converted my Kroot into Wracks, they still have the easter eggs on them.

My Pulsa Rokkit has a poster on it with a Power Klaw holding a flying V Guitar. On the guitar is a Squig and the poster says:

Orkstock

Musik &
Gun Fair

669.M41 -
969.M41

300 Years
of Gunz
& Musik


An obvious pun on the famour Woodstock poster.

One of my Grots is tied to a Big Gun so he will always be there to pull the trigger. You see he has ADHD and if he isn't tied to the gun, he will drift off and start looking at bees.

The Grot with the Oven Mit was sent from the Kitchens to work the Gun Line. In the Ork army, being sent to the Gun Line is the equivalent of being sent to do KP duty in out Military. So the Grot pretty much was sent to the gun lines, and he took cupcakes to the Runt Herder in hopes of getting on his good side.



Yeah I am weird...I bet you would believe me if I said I made "Pew Pew" noises when I make my shooting attacks.

There is a lot of fun to be had with ork vehicles. I've been guilty of taking the too clean rout with my ork rides... so far anyhow:


Hardly finished, but I think it's a good example. The cab is only plasticard (sheets and rods).


(ps - love the oven mit!)
