I think I have some BO Heads. What else would you be looking for....Maybe some Killa Kan Klaws? Or Rokkit arms?

Dread-ead looks like fun

I like it, but I can't help but wonder what foul machinations you have in store for the simian ?

stompa?

No not a stompa. Got a size comparison pic for ya. He is more the size of a dread. But I do have a question. I want to add armor plates but I dont know whats the best stuff to use. I have some plasti card and some green stuff but I've tried both and not much success. So any ideas are tips would be greatly welcome.

So here is a little update on the Bomb-omb. Changed the eye out. Like the new one better. Added one arm so far and looking for bitz to attach the other still. I should have some pics up later with my orks. just have some detail work left to do.

Thanks to all who have stopped by so far. If what I have done has helped anyone in any way then my good deed is done for the day. and my cheeses moment for the day is done. Checking that off the list for the week.

Picture Time!

Like I said I would post pics of the 5 when they would almost done. Again just detail work now. Gonna add some gunz to 'Da Drilla and 'Da Hamma. And I was thinking of adding some trophies and maybe a boss pole or (insert number here).

So now I have to make a choice of that to work on next besides Dread-ead. Another squad of 5 or maybe the Deff Watch. So time for some deep thinking. And PICTURES!

Oh and Green is best!

Hey Art35. If ya wanted to do up a model for 'Da Brazen Klawz I might have something to motivate you.Did up another Bad Moonz to get away from the normal color pallet. Almost done but like always just some detail work left.

Let me know what ya think. If ya want to do up a model or trade for bitz.

Hmmmmmm....I might have to thinnk seriously about that. I made a 'Ard Boyz Nob that would be so awesome in your little group. But I'm not sure I can part with it. Let me think on it.

Even if you dont want to trade your 'Ard Boy Nob I'll trade it to ya for bitz. Or if you have the bitz to make another one put it together and I can paint it if you want. Up to you let me know.

Hmmmm....i might be able to do bits. What are you looking for. Pm me a list and I'll see what I can fill for you.

Will do Art35. Its like Christmas. This may take some thinking.

But torn between projects right now. Started on the next 5 orks. Got the Dread-ead in the works and today started on my warboss. Not sure if I like the ball and chain. Might retract it or shorten it. But still alot of work to be done. Was thinking of putting a grot in a basket or something along that lines on his back. But here it is.

Hey, I have mega armor Nob body with no arms that would be better for your Warboss. I can add it to your list if you want?

Now that you mention it. That reminds me that I have an old grazskul model that was painted about 8 years ago I can strip down. Just a matter of finding it. But if you find anything that could be converted in to a 2hander or anything that could be used for armor plating. But that mega nob might come in handy also. Thanks for the idea again Art35. Might have to do up a Brazen Klaw for you just for all your help. If you want.

Things that could be two handed....Challenge Accepted.

Nice thanks for playing WM. I need to find a box also so I can send out that marine. Also got 5 sets of Death Watch bolters and shoulder pads I'm sending.

But I do have something new I've started on. Not sure what I want to use it for. But again inspired by another fellow ork player Monkeytroll. His cyborks are feathing awesome so here is a pic of what I got so far.

Ooohhhh! My own Brazen Klaw? That would be too sweet. And as far as two handed weapons...Seeing your warboss, I would think another Ork swinging that huge ball and chain around his head would be cool.

Double OOOOOOHHHHHH! that Cybork burna is way awesome! Love the goggles!

Dat wot da dok puts in and don't kill us, makes us stronger

Obviously I whole-heartedly approve of chopping boyz faces off and replacing them with assorted bitz

I like where you were going with the warboss, and that bad moon looks ace. After seeing your guy in the flesh I've started playing with various washes on the skin on my guys (luckily there's often not that much skin showing for mistakes to show up)

nice job!my advice? do a darker green to make the skin stand out more so that other players KNOW that they are orks.well done

So I had some old Mega Nobs. Again Art35 idea. Live my army threw his brain it seems like. And an old Grazskul model I'm gonna use for my warboss I think. Used Super Clean to strip them down. Work awesomely. Thanks for the tip Necroshea.
SO far stripped 3 of 4 mega nobs and graz. Got an old grotsnik to strip and some old Gorka Morka models still. Woking on a mega nob right now to see how the color scheme will come out. Will post pics when further along.

@ Monkeytroll. Whats funny is I think thats the first model I used washes on the skin with. Figured I would expirament with it a bit.

@ Art35. Hmmmm. Ball and chain not a bad idea. Maybe even a truk tire.

Why're you calling him Grazkul? It's Ghazkul, with an 'h' instead of an 'r'.


And I have to admit, I'm a little baffled by the whole "Space Marine inspired Orks". Are you running them as Orks who like (a chapter I've never heard of's) Marine Colors, or as Marines that look like Orks? And what in the world is the Chapter that has a quartered paint scheme?

Models are awesome, though.

@ Schank: Truck Tire is even better! YES! That would be super cool.

@ Anvildude: He's making Orks that follow the paint scheme of a Space Marine Chapter called the Brazen Claws. While not mainstream for sure, they are real and can be found on the Lexicanum. I'll try to find a link for you.

Edit: Check this out Anvildude. not Lexicanum but you get the idea.

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Brazen_Claws

@ Anvidude: Just a miss spelling of the name. But I'm palying orks who are emulating marines. The Brazen Claws are a second founding of the Iron Hands. And Like the Blood Axes who use 'Umie tactics my arks are from the Blood Axe Klan and have battled the Brazen Claws many times. By thinking if they dress in the same colors as them that they could better infiltrate enemy lines. So yes The Brazen Claws are a real SM chapter not a Home Brew. And Yes I am playing my orks as orks.

Oh, I get it. Iron hands, Brazen claws....


thanks for the clarification.

Just to clear up any further confusion on the Brazen Claws. Here is a pic of there colors.

As you can tell I changed it a bit. Swapped the colors around on the head armor. But thats the Sm chapter I'm going off of.

Ok so quick update. After stripping down my mega nobz I decided to do a test model before I started on my warboss. Made I cool base to I think for it. I've got the arms primed but not sure what to do for the head yet. Either the regular mega nob head or a BO head. I'm thinking the BO head just to stay with the theme. So my HQ will be Ghazkul, well a converted version of him but I think I'll still use the rules. And I have 4 mega nobs but I dont know if I want to use all 4 or if I just want to use 3. Guess Ill figure that out when I get more of my army painted. Guess I could make an army list but then I'll have a list of what to paint and that just kills it for me. So I think It will just be a wip on the army list. Now enuff of my rambling time for pics. Got some of the base I did for the first nob and one of the nob on the base.

HAHA! Yes. Very Nice! Keep going.

Have been watching your blog I'm just a bit slow on comments. The big tankhammer guy is cool and I love the goggles conversion and the bomb-omb looks really interesting. You could always try some cardboard to start with instead of plasticard its easier to work with and comes free with your cornflakes! Otherwise I have been wondering would soaking the plasticard in hot water help make it more flexible?

How did I miss this? Looking good!

The ball on the warboss and the cybork burna are pure awsome
And the bases are just amazing! Very inspiring.

After I read this I grabbed some nobz and started converting!

Great looking stuff.

I seriously need to get me some Black Orcs, everyone else seems to be doing wonderful things with them

@Wib: Yea I'm loving working with the BO. And they will work in my other ork army as 'Ard Boyz till I get this one finished. But no telling how long that will take.

@2PaintPiots: Thanks. I like to use other peoples threads for inspiration also. WH and Art25 have been a big help with 'Da Brazen Klawz just to name a few. Thats why I love DakkaDakka.

@Wazzdig Dagga: I might have to try that hot water on the plasticard idea. Never really had the guts to mess with alot of conversion till I started this army. So still learning how to work with alot of different materials.

I've done some more work on the mega nob. Almost done with his arms. But not sure if I want to use a BO head or the Mega Nob head. Got some more work on the base done also. Those I can knock out pretty fast. I just use 3 colors and them and a few washes. Dont want the base to take to much from the model. But I have started on the base for my warboss. That will have alot more detail to it.

Thanks everyone for the advice and the CC.

UP DATE!! Base is done and arms are on the Nob. Gonna do up the heads and see what one I like better but this is what I have so far.
