I found a few hours to paint up one of the trukks (it stares at me all unpainted on the top shelf of my case). Now I think my plan will be to toss regular nobs in there, not boys but we'll see how that fairs. I want to try out 9 nobs, a bigmek and two wagons full of boyz in 1000 points. Probably won't work too well but will be fun.

I'm going to pick up another wagon as I only have one, and after watching T4, try and make it into a big rig wrecker type truck with the ball and chain. I'm excited.



I'm a little disapointed as the photo shows off a lot of mold lines I didn't notcie before :( Oddly the paint looks like 'tin bitz' but it's boltgun + chain mail + flesh wash + delvan mud.

I painted up another trukk, but havn't grabbed a photo yet. However, I've been working on another battlewagon with a custom deathrolla. I wanted it to look like a looted highway snow blower, so here is a WIP shot.

Nice strong bold colours very orky.

Is it the Glaze or 'ardcoat making them a little shiny ?


Love the mods' VERY ORKY

Thanks man. I usually take the photos prior to 'ard coat, so they gloss is from the washes. They all get dull coated afterward rest assured

Gotca, yea I noticed that when taking my own photos and was wondering if it was just my wonky eyes

Great stuff , keep it up !

I painted up the last trukk in my collection, complete with the sweetest engine ever. I left the snow blower wagon at a friends so I can't start on it until I pick it up. So no promises there.

Nice Stuff
Loving the trucks

After much procrastination, I've painted up my second battlewagon. I hope it looks gruesome enough!




I made sure to have an ork commander popping out lest it be mistaken for a Beast of Chaos vehicle

This Battlewagon is so amazing! I love the wood chipper/snow thrower blade in front!
Waaaaaaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhh

I finished off 8 more ork boyz to fill out another 20 man squad for a battlewagon, and at the same time painted up the other warboss I did some minor modelling to from AoBR. Keeping with my current theme of 'badmoon-esque' orks, I figured he should be yellow, seeing as how my other warboss is not.



I repositioned the arm with a little GS, added armour plating in a few important areas, added a chainsaw to the claw and gun (inspiration Gears of War) as well as a flamer, added a barret and lastly a squig. I guess I need to take a few side shots.

My next contribution to my Waaagh will be a biker squad converted from Deffkoptas. I've got two finished at the moment, and need to pickup some spare wheels to finish the rest. Sometime soon I'll also re-photograph my entire ork army outdoors to provide better images.

Yay aug 5th my birthday!

Nice boss

The Deff Rolla/Snowplow is one of the best Ork conversions I've ever seen! And consider the "Sekrit" box idea looted!

You're more than welcome to steal any idea you'd like, and I'm glad you enjoy the deff rolla.

I found some time to play around and couldn't help but add a bit more tau-sleek lines to my army. So first up is 3 warbikers from deffkoptas of which I need to make two more (I'm limited by spare tires).



Next are some tau parts put to good use. I mean, Wazdakka can move farther and shoot than the pirhana ever could!




I plan to paint the normal bike squad in 5 different bike colours and maybe paint a number on them so they look as though they were just in a race. The Warboss bike will likely just be red to match the rest of my vehicles. I mounted the one giant gun to the side of the pirhana since I doubt anyone would ever bother to care about the WYSIWYG on an ork anyway and it looked sweet.

Those bikes are great, and the Tau looted bike is awesome. As is that crazy woodchipper deathrolla truck!

Great work! And I do to like the bikes! Get some paint on it

Greetings.

I have the 6 various bikers completed and primed, those are next on my list.

I was looking through the ork codex and decided it would be quite easy to make some looted wagons from my marine whirlwind and predator (which can be dismantled for use as rhinos) thereby adding utility and variety to my ork army without buying any models (or destroying anything the Emperor may need later).

I have the most round-about way of painting these things; it's not tin bitz but boltgun metal + delvan mud + flesh wash + chainmail. . . I really should invest in some tin bitz. . .

It's good but I would have put some orky bitz on the looted tanks. They just don't seem orky enough...

Yeah, some big horns or a few skulls would do them well.

I'm not sure I explained it well enough. . . The rhinos are from my marine army, and are STILL part of my marine army. I don't wish to destroy them, just have the rhino hatch removable to drop in the cannon for when the orks take them over; therefore usable in both army lists. If I add a bunch of garbage to them then they won't fit in the marine list, but as is, there is no reason the looted hull can't be mostly intact.

those kit bashed bikes rock!!

I sat down and slowly painted these guys doing about 1 shade a night over two weeks. I just havn't had the motivation to paint lately or when I have my cat has been quite against it.

Anyway, here are some shots of the warboss and his stolen ride. His bulk doesn't look too out of place from this angle I hope. I also added an extra panel to give the illusion of width to the gun side of the bike (as suggested).



Here's a shot of the whole group


And last but not least, a close up of a boy and his toy, an RC gun drone (counts as twin-linked dakka gun)

the snow blower from hell is my favourite but those bikes are very cool also... i have noticed that some of your orks have very stylish hats, how trendy!
Great stuff!

Here's my take at converting an AoBR nob into a Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun.

So the Skull cannon will count-as a Shokk Attack Gun (using the life force contained within human skulls pillaged from the battle field as an energy source if anyone asks) So no snotlings, just human skulls shot through the warp and whatever daemonic entity chooses to poses them on their journey through.

Here are some various angles:

Looks pretty god to me, except... where do the snotlings get in?
The mix of bits is great. Where did the pot of skulls come from?

I, love, your objectives :3

Also love your warbosses. I like the idea of orks in uniform as well, and I think you pulled it off.

There are no snotlings .

The skulls are cut off of ork heads (with the hair bands removed), and the pot is the back half of an IG tank's search light.

There are only six skulls though so hopefully there is no turn seven

It's a good bit-bash and works on it's own merit, but I'm not sure it screams shock attach gun to me. The 3 ball rotating thingie is pretty iconic for me... I can understand not wanting to bother with the snotlings but without the front balls (stopped writing to giggle like 10 year old at that one lol) it is missing something for me.

Not so much a criticism as just my opinion, it's just a preference thing for the visual style of that one weapon. Apart from that, thats pretty awesome work!

Here's a WIP of a helicopter I'm making my orks to count as a third trukk for my army.

Any thoughts? I didn't get a photo of it but the back of the central pillar is the giant internal engine from a landraider.

That looks VERY promising! I can't wait to see the whole thing.

To the SAG... oh I get it! awesome projectile booby-trap, and great use of bits.
