OH I am definitly making one of these bad boys. It will be perfect for the evil sunz. Im thinkin RPJ, 2 Bigbomms, TL Rattler Kannon and a big shoota. Probably magnetize some nobs to put in it and then remove. Thanks arakasi.
Now I just have to getmy looted wagon done and then either start another one made from a rhino, Start a Skullhamma based on a baneblade, Or make the Chinork based off of a valkyrie. Where to start?

Warseer has a P&M blog of a Chinork scratchbuild, perhaps you can get some ideas from there.

awzum lootedwagon man!!!!!!!

Wicked looking Wagon! Can't wait to see it painted!

@btemple0- I am going to check that out. Thanks

@inget_namn- Thanks

@logg_frogg- Thank you my good sir

And now for a small update. I have recently got a Big Mek with a KFF in a trade so I decided to get some paint on him. Also got some AOBR orks in a local trade. So I do have plenty of those to paint. Other than that I got a little bit of work done on the Looted Leman Russ. OH almost forgot that I have some forgeworldy goodness on the way as well a box of killa kans. Anyways here are some pics of the most recent progress.



I like the way the orkhide came out on this guy. However he was a secondhand model and I coudnt find all the flash after I stripped him so he has some on him still Also have to rebase him.


This side of the Wagon is finally finished. Unless you guys think it needs more rivets?


Just started on this side. I wanted the sides to be similar but not the exact same. Whalemusic told me that orks arent smart enough to be symmetrical. And I do agree with that.


And the front turret. Finally got the big shoota from my friend to make this. The chain isnt glued to the gun yet though.

After I am all done with the Big mek I think I will work on some Dark Eldar. They havent gotten any love on a while.

Any advice/criticism is welcome. Thanks for looking!

Love the plasticard work thus far. Perhaps you could kustomize that big shoota wif a loudener.

Looking great, I envision each panel painted a different color. Very orky!

Really cool orky vehicle for rivets I got a cheapish multiple hole sizes hole punch it makes making the things a whole lot easier.....They're still irritating though.

The two big panels on the "finsihed" side could use some rivets

@btemple0- Thanks again. Perhaps you could help me out with what a "loundener" looks like?

@thechronotrigger- Thank you. I dont think that the wagon will have many different colors because it has to be mostly red but I may try to get some different shades of red in places. Make it like some of the armour is newer.

@Llamahead- Thanks man! I have heard of people using hole punches. Currently I am sawing up some platicrod and then filing it. May have to try your method soon.

@Arakasi- Will do! Really hoping to NOT run out of plastic rods soon. I dunno when my next batch will get here..

Considering that you actually STOLE ALL MINE, I hope you got 2 packs.

I hope I can get 2.

Your looted Russ is killer! I agree it could use more rivets on the big panels though. Man I love Orks. They're just so haphazardly awesome. I guess that's what makes them so much fun, eh.

Wow it has been a WHILE since my last update and yet I still havent made much progress on anything. All that I have gotten done since the last update is 1 AOBR nob and a little bit of conversion work for the orks. I also did a small kitbashed archon (really just an arm & head swap) As for the Looted Wagon I have run out of supplies to make rivets for it so construction has halted. I got the baneblade for my skullhamma battlefortress. My plans for that are very atypical for a skullhamma. Im turning the turret into a Massive SAG. MAybe put a cage full of grots on the back of it. ATM it is called Da Dik Killa (bulletstorm reference for those of you who have played that game)

Anyways here are the pics of the stuff that I have worked on

The kommando conversion. This is the first of many to come, some of you have probably seen something similar at some point. Not my orginal idea.


And the AOBR nob all painted up in Evil Sunz colors




Im pretty happy with how the checkers and the chipping came out but tips on the chipping would be greatly appreciated

Now for the dark eldar stuff that I did. Should I Swap the splinter pistols out for blast pistols?



Though now I have no idea what to do next.
Can you guys help me decide what to do next?
Ork boyz (lots of them)
Ork Nobz (3)
Ork Warboss (1)
Big Mek w/ KFF (1)
Mega Armoured Nobz (2)
Looted wagon (on hold ATM)
Da Dik Killa (also on hold ATM)
Sneakin Kommandos (Plan on making 9 more)
Killa Kans (3)
Dark eldar Archon (1)
Succubus (1)
Urien Rakarth (1)
Kabalites (15)
Wyches (9)
Grotesques (3)
Incubi (4)
Reaver jetbikes (1)
Raider (1)

Pretty sure that is it until I start my CSM team tournament list for use with my brother
For that I will have
2 deamon princes (1 will be FW)
7 Obliterators (5 will probably be conversions)
2 5 man squads of regular chaos marines

And Thanks Bunnygurl Glad you like the wagon

Bob's checkers and chipping looks great! That's a long to do list... I'd get started on the boyz if there are a lot to do (actually, *I* wouldn't - I'd be taking advice from Dakka and doing the Warboss and Meganobz )

Who is bob? And there are only like 25ish boyz to paint. Still vote for the boyz though?

I think that was a typo for Nob... get some boyz done, then something else, then some more boyz - that's what I keep telling myself (now if only I'd listen...)

Lol. I thought you meant darthbob or someone. Thank you for the kind words my friend!
Now off to paint some boyz

A small update. Haven't really gotten a whole lot done. Got 1 boy completely finished and a few others started. I will post pics of the boys 5 at a time. On a more productive note I was in a modelling type mood tonight and got another one of the Sneakin' Orks done. Well at least built.


Sneakin' Ork #2


Choppa side


Slugga side


Da Sly Boyz so far

I plan on making more of these guys. They are a blast to make and I think they represent the kommandos well.
C&C is welcome and very much appreciated
Thanks for lookin everyone!
Sum1

Got 2 more of my kommandos all modelled. Pretty happy with how they are turning out.


Peek-a-boo


I call this one George.

This one wasnt my idea. Credit for this idea goes to Whalemusic360. Actually used an old lego bush I had. The shoulders are a little off but that can be easily fixed.

What do you guys think? Also What should I do to make the kommando nob?

Thanks,
Sum1

Those sneakin' Orks are freakin' awesome! They make me giggle a little bit. And that Nob's checkers are very nicely done! Me likey very much!

I vote for making a man hole in the base and having just a bit of head and fingers stickin out! Heh or even just fingers if you're feeling cruel...

i like the ones in the barrles

Bunnygurl- Thanks! Glad you like 'em

joshoftheforest- I very much like that idea. I think I will use it for my kommanndo nob. Ill have the fingers pokin out on one hand and a power klaw pokin out on the other. Thoughts on that?

xXH0LYCRUSAD3Xx- The ones in the barrels are my favorites as well. I like the one pokin' his 'ead out.

Heh love it! Can't wait to see! Subed, btw

Holy crap and update! (sorta) I haven't gotten much of anything painted as I have been on a building craze as of late. I now have a good sized dark eldar army all primed and ready to go. I now have 20 kabalites, 9 wyches, 2 archons, 5 incubi, urien rakarth, OOP haemonculus, drazhar, a GW Webway Portal, 10 scourges, 6 jetbikes, 1 venom, 5 raiders and a ravager. All of that stuff is either primed or painted with a few execptions. Like the archon I have been working on. After this tournament that I entered with my brother I have some Ork stuff that needs to get built for the Ork vehicle building contest here on Dakka. Whale and I are building an Ork Krawla which is 23" long and 11" tall with lots of guns By myself I have also decided to build an Ork Mega Drop Pod. That is going to be about 13" tall and from atil fin to tail fin about 9" across. Fortunately Ive got a year to build those. And i just got some forge world Grot tanks so expect those somewhere in the mix.

So in this tournament your HQ can take wargear from your partners HQ. I thought this was cool so I teamed up with Whalemusic and took an archon with a jumpack. Now the rules for the HQs say that they have to be WYSIWYG so i had to make an archon with a Dark Eldar-y jumpack. Here is the final conversion, he still needs to get painted obviously though This guys jumpack was a PAIN because I found out how hard guitar wire is to work with. lol






So what do you guys think of him?

Very nice!

wow!! That's amazing! Are those scourge wings? and where is that scythe from?

Arakasi- Thanks!
Joshoftheforest- Thanks and those are indeed scourge wings along with a few other bits. The scythe was converted from one of the raider crew arms, a huskblade, one of the stupid trophy poles from the raider kit, an extra jetbike blade and the little piece of fur on the succubus' pike
