Ok, so these are the first pictures of anything I've done before being put online so be as gentle as you like with me... (I hope this is the right forum for conversions)

I started this project about November last year, E-Baying the various bits and bobs, did some scetches when I could, writing rules for it and such. I was inspired when some friends were looking at some pictures of looted carnifex's, I really liked them and had seen them before... but my friend who collects Orks hadnt seen them and was getting really excited about them and how wicked they looked. I know he appreciates the work that goes into converstions and stuff... I collect Tyranids, He's got Orks...

So naturally I dived into a project that started 7 months ago and give him his birthday presant today, it was well recieved : ) . I have stressed to my other friends how I do not intend on making a habit of 7 month conversion projects for birthday presants.

The pictures I've got are unpainted so you can (try) to see what I've done. If anyones got any questions or advice on how I could do something in the future, they are welcome to do so.

That is awesome! You seem to me like a very good friend to have! I hope he looks after it

That is very cool

Thanks man, yeah he seemed pretty chuffed with it. I even decorated the box it came in. It was only corrigated cardbored that looked orky on the outside... he thought THAT was the presant! (I dont know if he thought it was like scenery or something).

like I said though, I'm not gonna make a habit of doing this! but I did quite enjoy doing it and I knew he would really appreciate that sort of thing.

Very nice good work get it painted up

Do you want to be my new best friend? Because my birthday is tomorrow!

Nah but really, I think he'll love it and it looks great!

WIN!

that thing is craaaazy!

Ha ha, well I wont be painting it. All I did was undercoat it for him so it looked like it was meant to be that way and not salvaged from all sorts! He's better at painting than I am though, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does with it, once its finished i'll take more pictures and pop them up here too. Thanks again guys, glad you like it.

Excellent keep up the good work looking forward to the pics

Well... it only took 7 years by my friend finally took some decent photos of Stompy. Sadly he hasn't finished painting it YET, but hopefully as our kids get a bit older he will have more hobby time, and since we started the Blog, Stompy has been getting a lot of attention and he is feeling pretty guilty about not having painted it!

That is the best kind of necromancy. It looks amazing. Nice work both of you.

Very nice. Great conversion, great paint job.

well I cant claim credit for the paint job, and its not even finished yet! but thanks. It was a lot of fun to make and the guy I gave it too really appreciates it.
