UPDATE OF VARIOUS STUFFS

Matt.Kingsley wrote:Gorgrab da' dakka grabbin' pirat lord?

better.. hmmm i will keep that one in mind, thanks matt

ok so i hav been doing some modeling of late, i returned to my classic shoota boyz mob that i have had forever and started doing a bit of a revamp on them. pictures below.

this is all of them bar 3 i was working on at the time.



close ups



i also made one of the nobz/ flashgits have a combi flamer... i think he looks pretty badass and he will be the next thin i paint hopefully.



dont know if you can see it but i have carved the khorne sign into his armour plates and the chaos star on his armour as well (but his hair is in the way of it (should have considered that before)
but yes this one shall be the CHAOS KILLA and in doing the slaughtering of the various chaos champions he may have caught the eye of a certian skull hungry god.. so yea thats the idea with this one.


NEXT

oh yea i reinforced the battle wagons deffrolla as well to make the sides look more like they could hold the weight of the deffrolla itself a bit better. (someone commented and said i should do it, and i think it really makes it look better... cant remember who said it but thanks for the advice )



so yea, COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED

and thanks for looking

Nice to see some of the old ork bits being used.

Is that the telescopic legs I spy in the first close-up?

Deffrolla looks all the better for the reinforcements.

thanks and yes but it is from the deffdread kit and is on the rokkit arm annyway, and thanks again


MIGHT GET SOME STUFF DONE TONIGHT!

technical error ocoured there for a sec sorry

I was talking about the one with the boss-pole and the RT hvy bolter

You and your tanks. You build them so fast and i love the looks of them. Might have to send a grot squad over to your place and steal your blue prints also.

I like the addition to the defrolla, and the old skool orks are looking nice as well. Did carving out the chaos symbols work out OK?

I like the deffrolla but I think it would be better with some wires or cable coming from the front-sides of the battlewagon and going down the deffrolla mounting 'arms'.

monkeytroll wrote:I was talking about the one with the boss-pole and the RT hvy bolter

ohhh, no i don't think so. i think that is just where for some reason i have painted the end of the gun barrel yellow... (fail)

real orks dont use blueprints

it worked ok, it was a bit fiderly at first but it turned out ok
i changed the head on him now anyway so you can see it better (the chaosy signs

Primarch_of_mechmarines wrote:I like the deffrolla but I think it would be better with some wires or cable coming from the front-sides of the battlewagon and going down the deffrolla mounting 'arms'.

hmmm ok, i will think about it. not sure though because it does'nt really need any power going to it as the rotation is'nt going to be due to a moter, it would be more the battle wagon just pushing it along (fluff wise)
but still i will think about it and do some testers with blue tac

I realize that it doesn't need any power but, as any Mek knows more wires makes everything better.

sold, ok cool i wiil add some then

You could say they are hydraulic tubes or something to keep it somewhat lubricated becuase the Mek got tired of it not turning when the ran over to many weedy grots/ 'oomies

Sorry Fish but thats where you are wrong. I have a team of elite kommando grot heading to your location now. Their mission is to extract your brain and get more more doritos.

I like the "Hand Flamer" look of that kombi gun. Your waaagh is bursting with character from all these conversions.

i was sold on the wires make it better thought from befor tbh



but yea since i added this one i really quite like i so i am thinking about doing it a bit more all over or on the other side of the deffrolla

Thanks i am seriously considering making a unit of storm boyz copying BA with all the boyz having hand flamers. but yea maybe later


ANYWAY
got some stuff done



So i bolted on the deffrolla a bit and took of th grt and the dead marine so i can paint this thing easyer. oh and i added a wire to te deffrolla, i am thinking about ading anotther one on the opposite side as welll but i just have'nt gotten round to it yet. oh and i changed the head on the chaos dude so now you can see more of the chaosyness on him



cant wait to get this bad boy painted up!!!!

anyway thanks for looking and for the comments

see ya

That battle wagon is epic. Very Nice. And of course the grots will win. They are ninjaz.

Schank's right, you know

The Nob with the Stealer skulls Bosspole. Do I see some antique Marine armour and weaponry there?

That's an RT heavy bolter, I thought the legs were one of the old cybork legs, possibly the telescopic ones, but now I'm just confused by bigfish's answer

Lookin' good! the wires and the extra rivets really add that touch of life to the model.

I'm really curious to see what the battle wagon is going to look like when painted. The amount of stuff that model has going on is kinda awesomely crazy.

Nice weighty deff rolla too!

yes on the heavy bolter front that monkey said, it is a retro heavy bolter the legs and body are old school though.
monkey when you said the telescopic thing i thought you meant a scope or something i had no idea that you were talking about the legs
Anyway the legs are from before my time and i did'nt buy them so i dont know where they are form. (most of my ork stuff i got in a big box of loads of stuff)
oh yea and the armour is also retro mariny

thanks khaine

Nice weighty deff rolla too!

think this rolla is weighty scroll back a few pages and see the one on my other landraider lol, the comparison between the 2 is still weird to me. but thank you for the complement.

Basecoated the battle wagon and the chaos killa today this morning, pics below.



Wagon all base coated and all, had to take a pic with the other wagon and boyz (they were already on my desk so i though what the hell)



also the chaos killa



so yea comments are always great (although i have only based 2 models so i am not expecting anything from anyone about anything )
and thanks for the views (almost on 20000 )

Hi,
Love these guys especially the nid hunters! And the battle wagon too! Love to see that beast painted, you are really going to town with these orks, love to see more.

also check out my blog too(hyperlink in sig AKA below!!!)got rouge trader mins!

HAZZER

HAZZER

thanks Hazzer

So i got my CHAOS KILLA OF DOOM, cough, painted. pics below



so if you have not already read this in previous posts, the idea with this guy and the other Nobz/ flash gits is that they were each assigned to go and loot the most killi things from the most killi races in the gallaxy, in a similar way to the how blood axe warbands copy humans for example the brazen claws warband. This Nob here was sent to go and find out what made those chaos boyz so killi and to find out the best way to kill em. He has found the thing that makes those chaos boyz so strong is the way they have these magic symbols on them, so naturally this nob carved those symbols into his armour and flesh. Thus attracting the eye of the blood god khorne, this Nob became stronger and stronger with each chaos boy he killed, not knowing what he would have been doing anyway was being seen as making sacrifices, The Nob decided it best to keep these magic symbols to him self. to keep them safe of course.



chaos killa and eldar killa

battle wagon/ skullhammer update

added paint to the thing

CommissarKhaine wrote: He's the guy shouting " Walk me closer I wan to hit them with my hammer!"

added paint to the nova marine that will go on the front



and then some shots with the kannon



THANKS FOR LOOKING

Nice work especially on the checkers and the skull bit (I can't remember what the orks call it I must not have had enough coffee) but, I think you need meatier wires for the deffrolla, don't worry if you don't have any I do and I am willing to send some your way, in exchange for your BRAIN! JK just give me a bunch of ideas on my ork Blog and i will send you some of the copper wire i work with.

Love the grot

I really llike your painting style as well, the skull on the side is a great and very orky addition!

Nice,
but boo to the SM!LOL

if your talking about the wire its gubbinz and if your talking about the skull i dont have a clue , and thanks btw. i found some thicker wire now as well so i am going to tinker with that a little bit and then see what it looks like on the rolla. Then have pics up on here at some point.
