simply love the background for zeno... very cool! if you can you should make his pose not all hunched but standing tall! and proud! forgot the pocket watch on the golden chain! that idea has potential for at least a small strikeforce! you do realize that?

Dam Vik you keep ruining all the surprise ….. He was going to be standing up right for sure …… so when some one said thats not right , I was going to say this is the side effect of the toxin creating a kind of Evolution within him, he will be slightly less built in mass as well

STRIKE FORCE !!!!!!! did you not read the toxin has been destroyed for fear of a new super Ork race ! …….However I could say that Zeno took samples of his own blood and cloned himself Hmmmmmmmmmmmm No cant this is my Avatar just the one.

well...then he will be the extraordinary ork...i can live with that...^^ but you sure have to say, that gentlemen orks have a thing to them^^

well we could keep that part of the conversation on the PM level^^ if you fear my ideas to be too much of a spoiler^^

I would personally recommend using a sheet of balsa wood and cutting pieces off of that instead of using Popsicle sticks.

well...i am currently unemployed and i try to use what i can get a hold of as cheap as it can be... so the strirers are for free...but i grant you if i used blasa through and through it would create a more professional look...

A long sheet of balsa thats about 6 inchs wide and maybe 3.5 feet long is about a buck fiddy near me so thats like a cup of coffee

yeah but when you just grab the stirers and walk away they are for free... i know what you mean...but personally i think i like the slightly rounded shapes to the stirers too...

Love it Vik now thats thinking on your toes

No need for P.M.s ( although the one you sent was a winner ) just cant believe you were almost exactly spot on to my vision

Maybe one day I will build the " Gentleman Orks " but at the moment its just one

Have you figured yours out yet any idea's clues

hmmmm... that is indeed a toughy.... i think i couold also go for the priest look... i still have an almost complete set of the emprire wizard...that could be heavyly converted to a techpriest stand in kind of... with mech arms coming through the back... of course all in a steampunkish outlook... or any other suggestions?

Steam punk priest definitely what I would envision …… or a steam punk gent something along those lines for sure ….. But if you go down the gent line don't go for the suit look you need more an admiral type uniform, something grand that invokes the look of power.

Lots of detail and extra's but done in an elegant but extravagant style …. That is the key word style is a must ……..

style i grant you that^^ hmmm... i have some mordheim minis on my way the next coupla days...these could be a base for the conversion... or the priest/officer i already used in the chuch shots?... hmmm...

No, no..no. Riveteers are working-class, ALWAYS, there will be NO GODDAMN aristocracy or bluebloods or high-born in any cult I am attached to! All riveteers are created equal! It is their workmanship that will set them apart.

The first riveteer that walks around the chapel thinking he was born superior and has some inherent right to tell other riveteers what to do, will personally get my rivet gun to his knee. Or his face

Yes, but the Ork is working class, however you still need some kind of structure to the house of Riveters, I just assumed that you and Vik were the founders therefore hold the highest position within.

Plus my character only carries himself this way as to be more human like therefore less Ork like

Think of it as more of a labor union, or occupational lodge.
That sounds very British LDD LOL

Yes, Dave true but remember status can be bought but class is a birth right ….. Therefore being a true gentlemen has nothing to do with power,money or status just the way one portrays themselves.

After all as my mother said manners cost nothing,

a good rule to go by!

but does that mean, dave, that you envision the riveteers as moustache sporting craftsmen...in shiney olied vests and grimey faces? puffing a pipe as they rivet along?....hmmm...

ROFL …….

Whatever...but your money and pedigree does not mean gak if you can't rivet.

But we know orks can Rivet they are the Riveters

Well what is yours looking like then Dave

nothing unnerving about an alot, they're just misunderstood.

Viktor von Domm wrote:the way i could picture it... have you looked into storags orks? they are `munda orks...raised by humnans... you could do a humanized ork... maybe even steampunk like with the much asked for bowtie and tophat and a monocle... pinstripe trousers...a vest and a walking stick... now that would be a nice rivet-ar...

God damn it I was thinking of a top hat and cane! Maybe converting my Waagh dakka ork to alternate hands between a cane and wrench of some sort and the two pistols?
I just need to find the bitz...
and with all these ideas flowing through the thread, I really think these steampunkers (both vik's and otherwise) deserve a backstory of some kind, maybe even a short story (in the style of shaso's army, with thier kommissars and such)

Jealous? Moi? No, I'm firmly in the ranks of filthy xenos, we don't use any rivets, just lots of sleek, smooth lines and pristine unadulterated surfaces and I'm quite happy with that :3
But doesn't mean your bizzare space-rivets don't look interesting.

Viktor von Domm wrote:at ovion... in fact i had contemplated to build a spiderlike vehicle for quite some time... this might be a future project indeed.

Yeah, I'm sure this:

would have enough rivets for you and I'd love to see it .
Not sure what it'd count-as though.. titan maybe? :3

Orks are certainly welcome in the -=]_=-, if they rivet, extraordinarily. And LDD you are correct when you say:

lone dirty dog wrote: just assumed that you and Vik were the founders therefore hold the highest position within.

But let's clarify a couple of things:

I spend every day of my life wiping the asses of those who *think* their money puts them in an upper class to me, when in reality, they are helpless, clueless, morons in the worst possible sense. However, their checks don't bounce

I absolutely reject the idea that you are born to one class or another, and stuck there for life. Sorry dood, that's bullshhiiit. I was born to a factory worker and a grocery-store worker, and I worked too damn hard to get where I am today.

Commie, no. But do I believe that if left unchecked, and unregulated, Corporations, banks, and rich people will always take every possible opportunity to exploit working-class people. and take their own imaginary birthrights at the tip of a sword (or gun, or dollar)- just as they always have History stands as my witness to this.

Sorry but I think you may have misunderstood class, I mean class not as in what society defines the level and means as to what we live, but the structure as to what you choose to live by, as to the meaning your birth right to choose.

I dont define class by financial means or the place that society says you belong but the way you choose to treat yourself and others, as to you're reply I actually totally agree with every word of it, and goes as far as saying any body can achieve what they want from life, as long as they are determined to achieve it.

Dave if you feel so strongly about these people why let them aggravate you so, after all they depend upon you

Using my amazing powers of MS paint, here's what I was thinking of:

@LDD good question man.
I think it is because of their double standards. Especially in the US, where almost all of the labor laws that the riveters of 100 years ago fought for have been eliminated little by little. They believe they have the RIGHT to endless profit under capitalism , and so they finance the politicians campaigns who will return the favor with legislation that eliminates controls put in place to protect workers

Not just the US, politics and finance are the same thing, aid the rich gak on the poor ….. that keeps the world spinning

Well, all this status and pedigree (what's dog food have to do with anything?) aside, I really like the ideas people have for their Rivet-Ars!

I am thinking a modified Cadian body with my "yet to be made" steampunk-ish arms, and gloved hands, along with the weapons I just finished and one of the skull helmets I did. He'd be a sniper of some kind. With a cloak and hood I think. It will be a while though, I still have to send all of the things I made to have them cast up.

Sounds fun though!

That sounds very interesting, like the helmet got any pics of that
