I have no idea to be honest, I just thought it would be a fun thing to do with an old marker pen.

There is actually an Ork fighta (as well as a fightabomber) on the forgeworld site, but it doesnt say where i can find the rules for it.

Any ideas anyone?

Wow, nice. Some fantastic ideas here

Also, I think you could use grot fightas as deffkoptas.

Apoc Rulebook has the rules for a fighta-bomma, but I agree with chhilderen of filth about the deffkopta; it's more the same size then the fighta bomma. Great work!

Friends are like potatoes, if you eat them they die.

When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, and let everyone wonder how you did it.

Those are cool, Love em. You're work rocks and I agree to your thoughts on the price rises, in Aus ork boys went up by 6 dollars, not happy, so yes I love scratch building, and seeing others do it too, difference between me and you I guess, is you do it well

My scratch builds at the moment stand at a self sculpted grot and a poorly made Gobsmasha thing that is falling to pieces and some of my minis i put in the gallery tonight so have a look at the grot and squig and converted tank for my work, hope it's easy to find.
Off topic how do you get photos into a post like this, couldn't do it.

Thanks guys for all the feedback!
Its keeping me motivated.

This will probably be my last scratchbuild for a while though, so i made it a goodun;

A leman russ costs 30 pounds now from GW, so i went to Bits and Kits and bought this for 1.50


then added the rest with cardboard and a few bits;


and here we have a looted leman russ for a mere £1.50.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
I still have a lot to learn with scratchbuilding, but ill be sure to add more photos of my next project if i decide to do another.

I would be really interested to see other peoples scratchbuilds and kit bashes too.
