Tau stuff would be rivet free. I think adding rivets will ground it back more towards human looking tech. Maybe humans that live in Tau space ?

Non rivet-using humans are under the influence of the blasphemous xenos Tau. Those heretics are tracked down and purged...if their shoddy structures don't fall on them first

lol... why the xenos hate old mate? it´s all for the greater wood...er good...

Can you post an up close pic here of that.

Sure, although looking at the pics they are still not showing it particularly clearly. On the left is a chemical tank that has been sprayed with rustoleum and dusted with rust pigments, on the right are the cake lattices that were sprayed and then drybrushed boltgun before being dusted with rust pigment at the tops. Basically it just helps make smooth plastic look like it has a texture, before they were very smooth and flat looking. The chemical tank now looks like it is old iron, with the edges corroded and worn, it's a good way to add some texture to large smooth areas I think, a finer texture than sand but still enough to be noticeable. I am going to be spraying some more scenery with it in the middle of the week so could try and get a proper pic then.

Amazing! i love the star wars, retro look on them! like the scene from SW episode 1 in the tower. probably the best necromunda sceneery i have seen ever!

keep up the good work

I like that pitted look it gives it. I'll have to keep that in mind.

@YellowBlades

Thanks.

I hadn't thought about it looking like Star Wars, but I can see what your talking about. Rounded instead of blocky definitely fits the more organic look of Clone Wars Era tech.

BTW you have awesome taste.

Walkway, now with Advanced Rivet technology


Another wasteland/Ork Buggy


I call him Chompy


Arc Reactor


Cool looking Thingamabob


Walkway with Advanced Rivet Technology and sidewalls

"advaced rivet technology" or short: ART! now that is a man after my taste!!! and for the arc reactor i propose a membership in the league if you would like to get further involved with the lot of us... really arc reactor... just yesterday i watched iron man 2 on the telly and loved every bit of it...!

that cool looking thingamabob looks also really cool... what toy was it in former live?

and was the use of granny grating inspired by daves terrain too? just asking... ^^

so....when will we see your first painted piece of terrain?

I would be honored to be considered for membership in the League of Extraordinary Riviters.

The Thingamabob was actually a stand from a DS9 toy from the 90's. I added a bit on top and applied ART.

The Granny Grating Idea I got from Matakishi. He used it to make barred windows, but once I had it in hand I thought i t would make a great grated floor.
Much cheaper than buying model grating sheets, and I really like how it looks.

hey man popped on in through dstiens thread and thought i would have a lookie loo. i really like your stuff. You have given me so many ideas for the stuff that i would like to accomplish. well chop chop get more done wow me with your cool looking whatchahoosits and doohickeys and thingeymabobs.

and yep... granny grating looks very good.. and tho i still have none it looks as if it is rather sturdy...which i like for my stuff!

I literally can't scratch build without making some Ork stuff

awwwww... them so cute^^ and deadly^^

Does anyone know if there are official rules for Stompas outside of the Armagedon rulebook ?

i think you need to ask that on a different thread... try to ask max for instanceor heck better ask shrike... he has one... he might know...

deys all stompy and killy and stuff
looks good man

No, there are no "Official" rules for any of the Apocalypse units, because Apoc IS the only "Official" rules.

FW rules are, technically, unofficial.

BUT!

Make up your own.

what the man said!!!

Okay, this is purely a case of me not being able to focus and having a good idea too good to put off and forget about later.

Came across this image on my Hard Drive. It's an EPIC scaled Stompa.


I thought to myself "Selt, why not use that to make a 40K scaled Stompa ?"

Keep in mind these are only a rough draft, and if they work out well I'll pretty them up and make a Dakka article on Stompa construction.

In the mean time, if you kids want to follow along at home, get your parents permission, and dig out the glue and paper !



If you ckick in the thumbnails and print them out at 72DPI they should be in the correct scale for 40K use. They are all labeled so it should be pretty easy to figure out what piece gos where.

If anyone knows who the artist for the EPIC STOMPA is, let me know as I would like to give him some credit.

Man this work is just extraordinary. I'm in love with every ork scratch build you do *__*

intersting concept to start from... once built it needs some serious detailing tho!

and rivets!

lol...and washers too... orks have lots of both!

indeed they do sir

I've printed and done a quick test fitting. Will try and get some pictures of it up tonight. Just need to find my GW Stompa for a size comparison. This one looks to be more in line with the scale of the old Epicast model, if anyone remembers what those are.

I intend on building this one reguardless of scale, but I'll update the files for a larger model if needed. Epic used to have all different sized Stompas.

Yeah, you had Stompas, Gargants, and Mega-Gargants.

This is what I was thiking of

Here is what those templates look like assembled.



4 1/2 inches tall at the shoulder
6 inches to the top of his head.

lol... lacks a bit in detail but makes it up with cuteness^^

The idea is to have a frame on to which you can add your own Kustom Orky details. Although I may get obsessed and turn it into a complete paper model, but that would be very time consuming.

I dug out my GW Stompa for a size comparison, and added a 4 more pieces, that I haven't made templates for yet.



In true Orky fashion, I had crafted parts on the fly and immediately glued them on. It would have been a bit more helpful if I had stopped to scan them first.
