Thanks for the overall positive responses. I will see what I can do about getting it painted. But I was thinking of making a more refined version of this since, I just kinda glued on whatever seem to fit and look okay.

Sadly, he only made 3 rounds of close combat over the course of 3 games (18 player turns).

I am stunned. Kudos to you. If you do remember roughly what steps you took to make this pm me please

This really does look impressive! You should really do a more refined model and make a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve this Ork Monstrosity! However, I don't see what people have against Ghazghkull's original model...

I guess you'll have to find someone to take the "less refined" version off your hands then.

That looks fantastic! Very good work.

Gork and indeed Mork will be truly proud! ;-)

Naught!!! One of the better conversions of the AOBR Warboss Paint it up bru!

It would be awesome to see the full force of your ork horde.If it is even remotely like your ghaz its gonna be sick.

He looks significantly better then the stock Ghaghzull. Truly something. You should really convert this into an article. I'd be happy to help with photoshopping, if you're so inclined.

Please do make an article I might finally be able to use a decent looking Ghaz

So...coooooool....

PAINT IT... please
awesome btw

I am thoroughly impressed with that conversion. Its very neat and tidy and would not look out of place in any ork army. AND, props for keeping all its parts within the one kit.
Id like to see you kitbash a whole army.

That's superb. Impressive re-allocations of parts!

Great use of stock parts. I really like the Iron Gob (or whatever it is right now in the Ork Codex) being roughly cut out of some scrap metal. Paint it up as soon as possible, it is going to be pretty impressive when finished.

I finally have someone else who converted their AobR warboss into a ghaz too!

Although mine isnt nearly as spiffy.

Here is the current progress on this model. It was a rather quick paint job and haphazard at that. Still deciding if it needs more checks in places and any other glyphs. And also whether or not I should make the hair any particular color (leaning towards yellow, but easily see purple) Originally the gob was black with a red Grim glyph, but I felt like it didn't stand out enough, so I blinged it out and gave him a gold grill to show his status. The black shoulder plate was too plain and it needed color on that side of the model to balance it out. Since I removed the Grim glyph on the jaw, I put a Waaagh glyph here. Originally I tried a stripe of checkers across the plate but it was just too much and was distracting. Still a few things left to do, like the teeth on the armband, pants, and boots, and belt. I am probably going to leave basing last until I get to the point of basing the whole 1850+ points of boyz. I find it help keep it looking more consistent. Anyway, enough rambling. Here you go:















Sorry that they are a bit grainy. I was lazy and didn't want to set up my sock basket photo studio for better lighting. At least it help hide my terrible painting skills.

I was really wondering if you could pull off the Mega-armor convincingly with a conversion when reading the thread title.

You did. That right there is a really well done model that you should be extremely proud of.

Hold on a moment, doesn't Ghazkull have a Big Shoota on his Mega Armour, not a Twin Linked shoota?

That's really good! Your painting looks fine to me. Well done!

Ghazkull 'as whateva gunz 'e wants, ya git!

Excellent conversion and paint job buddy, really impressed me. Wish i had more of a creative flair

I fail to see the problem. The Shoota is big is it not? Therefore it is a Big Shoota.

Proppa!!!

The pose looks more dynamic, than GW's ghazzy

GW should be looking on these forums because I would gladly pay three times as much for this model than the GW one. I cannot believe there was no GS in this. Good work!

Good thing, because you could probably pay three times as much for this. They're all GW bitz, buy them online or just get AoBR, and there you go!

Man, I'm so tired of all these Star Wars...

Looks excellent Good job!

Instead of the Power Klaw, maybe I should convert it to have poo-on-a-stick. It would be the most devastating weapon in 40K!
