more like a "thundaspark" for the size hehe

great stuff as always, your conversions are truly inspiring from an orky pov.

Thanks for tossing scale-boy in there a lot, he helps me guage size a lot better haha.

Thanks for the compliment.

It's all just a matter of getting into an Orky Mindset. Every part provides the Mekanik with a problem that needs to be solved, and it's just a matter of coming up with a solution with the parts on hand..

Although I must admit, I'm beggining to feel like MacGuyver with Plasticard and Bic Pens

I didn't have more than 10 minutes all weekend to dedicate to modelling, but I got two new Kopta Chasis built and I'll try to post the 1st draft templates here for anyone instersted in trying them later tonight. They share alot of the same parts, but one has a cockpit similar to a Sentinel, kinda like the first one I built ealier in the thread, but not quite the same, and the second one has a cockpit more like the illustration on the Deffkopta page in the new codex.

And here are the Work In Progress Planz for DeffKoptas


When I have more time I'll try and make a step by step tutorial to go with them

I did a quick variation on one of the cockpits. I want all the Koptas to look like they were built by the same mekanik, but to all be different.



Random Pic of some of the terrain I've been working on

Man, those buildings are just _beggin_ for a stompa to pay them a visit.

Nice work on the koptas! I really like the under-the-nose rokkits.

And you rock for distributing those templates. I hope everyone who makes templates will start following your example and including them in their threads.

Thanks.

I'm soo sick and tired of fighting over ruins.

Added bonus is that, for a change, I have terrain that will actually provide cover for a titan.

I also realise that the last few pics were a bit blurry. Evidently my daughter got ehr hands on my camera and left some fingerprints on the lense.

u rock dude, i rly wouldnt have a clue where to start if i was to build this kind of stuff

I got a 1/16th hole punch and it makes making rivets a snap.

NOTHING says Orky technology than an overabundance of rivets.

Got my GW Stompa and it's way bigger than scratch build. I'm determined to salvage some of it.

Can you class that as threadromancy or not?

Since it's a P&M Blog and I intend on working on my Dread Mob, I don't think it is.

2. No Thread Necromancy. If a thread is more than a month old, leave it alone. If you're really interested in the topic, start a new thread! There are exceptions, like updates to modelling blogs or threads in forums that don't get much traffic, but in general bringing back old threads is simply annoying to the bulk of the posters who have already moved on.

WAAAAAAGH! Diz' iz some pretty stompy gubbinz n' shooty bitz.

I like the Deff' Koptas' the most though, very nice work with plasticard, but I guess there really are no limits to what kinds of gubbinz you can make with it.

I really like your home-built stuff!

now that really is necromancy. Well done that is an achievement. Next time check the last post date.

Back to the depths with ye...
