Yep, those pens are what I was thinking of as well. It took me long enough to get the yellow on their, Im sure as hell not gunna screw it up with black paint

Today I have a bday party, so sadly, no work today. Tomorrow though, I think Im going to work on my DeffJets (koptas) and finally get them completed and painted. And MAYBE while those are drying I might do some work to my burna buggies as well, those look awfully dull and in need of more Orky.

Till then folks

Remember, Bad Moonz like Dags better than Checks, though. So tiny triangles are more Moony.

Thats true, and those are easier to actually paint. And I put dags on the back plate of one of the boyz in that mob. And to do those I dont need a pen

Now thats feedback I like folks, helpful, useful and easy to accommodate

Loving your custom B movie killa kans
There's some real love gone into the building of those things...

I'm also considering robbing your idea of 40k ork as a halloween costume, my only worry is that my son already loves my orks and I reckon if I'm not careful I'll find him painting himself green and saying I'z, diz and waaagh alot.

although he'd probably fit right in with the hoodies around here

Wow, awesome work KC.

You can tell you put a lot of love into your models and I love it. Definitely a big inspiration for making my own custom models.

Subscribed!

Thanks fellas. I started doing some paint work on my Deffjets today, but then I got a package in the mail and to my surprise it was a bunch of lootas/burnas! So obviously I had to stop painting But I dont think I have any plans tomorrow so Im sure Ill get back to working on the Jets tomorrow.

Steak - That name makes me chuckle. And from Michigan no less

All pics look really good. I like the Burna Buggy.

Well thanks. Ill be working some on the Buggies today when letting my Jets dry. So they will get the treatment thats for sure. Stay tuned

Steak need update!

Ok so I decided Im done with painting (mainly since my primer I use is empty) so I got a little work time in on doing some more work to my Skullhamma. Ive only managed to figure out what Im doing for the engine and got it on the Skullhamma, and some card around it, not to special and not worth pics I think.

BUT!!!!!!!!! I did get my GrotGuided Missiles(supa Rokkits) themselves done, and I really dig how they look so far. Ive got a pretty good idea on the launcha stands so thats mainly just waiting for me to get my rear in gear on those. They will stick out the sides of my Skullhamma and look pretty sweet, so finally its max size will be finished, minus the random exhaust pipes, but those dont really add bulk to a vehicle all that much. Anywho, without further ado

Some lovely supa-rokkits, might need to loot that idea for my stompa!

Thanks, I was going to add more bombs/stick bombs and whatnots but after I got everything into a pile to start working, I then realized just how small those barrels are Oh well, still highly explosive me thinks

Those are seriously cool super rokits. That is how super rokits should look, the ones that they give you on the stompa kit are just pathetic in comparison to those.
very well done sir *pats back*

while i remember what happening with the life sized power claw you where making a while back? have'nt seen it around and it was looking sweet befor.
keep up the good work

Excellent supa-rokkits KC Those are boss.

Nice use of bits. Are those clipped rivets/nails and .22 cartridges for jets?

Yes indeed they are, nice eye there Monkey


BigFish - I havnt really worked on the PK in awhile. Ive been busy doing other things, and trying to get my army where I want it. Its still in my garage next to the game table, so we can all marvel at its awesomeness. Someday Ill get the itch to finish it. And thanks for the compliment on the rokkits, its always an honor when someone says your conversion is better then GW stuff

I absolutely love those grotckets! they look awesome! great use of bits too, the super glue cap works a treat! i can't wait to see them with some paint on them! they're just a damn fun looking model KC well done dude!

go on,....paint!

Theyll get some paint once I get the Skullhamma finished, but many thanks!

Those are awesome!

Ok got a big chunk of my Skullhamma done. Its nearing completion. I would have it all done and built by tonight, but I decided to make some different looking TL rokkits for the sides of the Skullhamma, and the ammo magazines are proving to be a.....headache lol. Anywho, bad lighting and so on, but youll get the idea anyways. Enjoy!

Dat's well 'uge!

The grot rokkits really steal the show, though.

Still armor plates to add, exhaust and over 9000!!!!! rivets

But Ill agree, those suparokkits turned out WAY better then I had hoped. Sometimes Gork-N-Mork shine on a lowly Mek. Thanks for the comments

:O thats almost the same size as my battlewagon with super kannon... (i could use it as a skull hamma )
cools.
what are you going to do with the other gun bits (that hold da gunz)

Well the dealy on the top is for the cannon upgrade, because I figure, why not take a fething kannon! Ammirite? Just under the suparokkits Im putting the TL rokkits, its a free upgrade over bigshootas, its kind of a no brainer to me. They will be sponson like and look like flakk cannons, but count as the TL rokkits. Thats it for the weapons. You CAN take a total of 3 suparokkits, but 1) I ran out of room, and 2) I have this weird thing about odd numbers


But yea, if you stretch the LR a bit, you can get away with it being a skullhamma, really they dont have an actual model for one, so the sky is the limit as far as that goes, but make it around a baneblade size and you should be good. Mine is only only a little shorter then a baneblade but it makes up for that by being really tall and just as wide. So yea, make a skullhamma! Id enjoy seeing that build for sure

Dude, your stuff is awesome and that Power Klaw is EPIC!! Much respect on that!
MAOR pics of it! I'm afraid I must insist.

mmmh....looking at your shot, the only thingh you have to work is a good support for the two side plates (can't see them well)

Finnlock - Its getting colder outside, so Ill have more days of sitting around bored coming, so Ill get more work done on the Power Klaw for sure. Just be a patient beaver, hell I waited for your blog to get where it is

FAntasyBob - yea the main supports are there, obviously, as those sections are a bit heavy to just be floating. I plan on adding a couple more to each side for looks mainly, but also for a tidbit of more support.


I bought more superglue (thanks to the wife and her shopping trip) so I can get back ta werk'n! Why I cant just pop rivet everything on for real I dunno, maybe I should get wif sum uva meks......an we'z werk on a smallifyin machine? So yea, next few days something will happen for sure. Possily today, depends on if I want to clean up my yard or not

As always KC, your work is awesome. I love the originality in your stuff. You make Da Boyz proud!


Got a few questions for you.

1.Do you make a sketch at all of the stuff your going to kustomize or just kinda wing it?
2. What do you use for all of the rivets?
3. Is the skullhamma an apoc only unit?
4. Mayonnaise or Miracle whip?

Well many thanks, many thanks!

Got a few answers for you then

1. My drawing skills are on par with my sons, and he just started 1st grade if thats any help But Its a little more then winging it. Ill get a rough idea of what I want to pull off, then literally just get a pile of bits and random bobs together and have at it. It helps to be free flowing when doing Ork stuff IMO, because sometimes something wont fit or work right or a plan just crumbles, and saying screw it Ill go that way then, leads to a better over all model.... sometimes. Other times Ill just hack something vital off and say, ok, its screwed beyond repair, lets put it back together.

2. I have a small hole punch I got from the craft section at the hobbylobby. Then I normally use that clear hard plastic that you can buy bakery cookies in from the grocery store? Ill cut the tops/bottoms off of it if its flat, sand it down (it helps with glue adhesion) and space out, while punching them out by the hundreds

3. Yes its suppose to be APOC only, but IMO, its really pretty balanced for its points cost. Like anything if your friends/opponents are ok with you using one in a normal game, then youd be fine to use it. Its around 400ish points depending on upgrades, has 3 structure points, so its tough, and can do some damage, but really, it has that famous weak Ork rear armor, so a smart player, or hell a lucky player even, would make you a nice 400pt crater

4. Mayo. Definitely

Heresy! Miracle Whip is the only true white deli spread!

Me no like either
