Ok, these are technically are not Nobz, per se. I can't afford to get Forge World Nob Bikerz when I already had these and they are so easy to covert. So if you want to be pedantic, these are actually Ork Warbikerz with Power Klaws. I'm thinking the rule of cool will save me here.

I already have 9, and will do 3 Goffs, 3 Deff Skullz, and 3 Evil Sunz. At that point I'm going to need to scramble to come up with a single bike to make a Painboy out of...

Here are all 3 from F\S\R. The image in the gallery is 2600[x for your zooming and/or mocking pleasure.

Wow... these are very GOOD! how do you blend like that?

Skin tones are Orkhide Shade, to Knarloc Green to Goblin Green with a 50% mix between those (so, 5 shades), then washed with Thraka Green. No real skill involved other then thinning the paint.

The skulls in the front are a base of P3 Hammerfall Khaki, and successive drybrushes of lighter colors (like Bleached Bone and then 50/50 Bleached Bone and White) and then washed with Devlan Mud.

The power klaws are all from the same base PK that comes in the Boyz box for the Nob upgrade, but the blades were chopped off and re-positioned or replaced with sheet styrene replacements. Those were fun, by the way, and easy. I also added some Grandt Line rivets here and there, mostly to cover mistakes.

really good paintin' there

Awsome

Very nice. I particularly like the poses and angles of these guys. Really lifelike. If I were to suggest anything, it would be possibly making some kicked up dirt effects on the bases, to make the bikes look more mobile.

Very nice - except for the odd mold line...

Nice Work!

I'd say the rule of cool def saves you on this one!

Beautiful work.

Do a whole army like that and ull have a beautiful showcase

Very clean, good job!

A lovely simple quick technique that is flattering for your miniatures and economical with time.

Good work sir.

Hey Ouze, you lucked out, GW's warbiker kit says it has pieces for making Nob Bikers, so you're okay anyways

I think if you ran into someone who refused to play against you if you counted them as Nobz, you need to just not play against that person.

Those are great looking nob bikers, very orky. I love the checks, I can never paint those.

Have you thought about weathering them at all?

I would just Bits and Kits some nobs heads onto some bikers.

Very crisp and clean... very crisp and clean indeed. They still look Orky too which usually involves rusting everything in sight.

I would suggest the next step of your work would be to start adding pigment powders into your repertoire, which I think would really compliment your work and style nicely!

Great job!

i really like the posing!
