going to try to make parrot-squigs

also going to make peg legs and hook hands for quite a few boys when i have some time


currently working on a kaptain badrukk based mega boss


i dont want some WYSIWYG person making me pay 5 points for red paint if i dont have it planned into list. i usually just give trukks a ram, but the bosses gets a plank too

i wanted to red it the up!

going to make the battle wagons more metal clad looking I think, with wood plank floors, and patches over holes made of planks... but the majority of the wagons should be red/rusty....


my first wagon i think will look like a looted batllewagon from a speedfreak clan, then have a few posts going down to the existing old truck bed and into the turrent mounts and create a deck/crows nest/captains quarters on that level... and it be detachable?

small update




what do you think of the location of captains quarters?

i know its very rough/WIP..

haven't clad it in wood or anything, or given him an exhaust back (his broke off), nor given him a bosspole/mast/flag/crows nest

Probably put a grot on top of captains quarters, or one on front of boat/crows nest, plus lots of pirate gubbinz


have 6 I run at 2k but only 4 usually, so will probably just do the 4 for now, not sure.


makes me wish my warboss on a SM bike wasn't primed etc already.

I don't have a squiggoth hmm... that idea sounds fantastic. I love the idea of the rickety wooden saddle-thing that holds a crew.. perfect for a mast and flag!!! (keeping eye out for appropriately sized squid like things)

Diver nobs! I like that. I have a second squad (and maybe a third.. and 4th... I know I know) that need completion... RIght now I have 4 speed freaks (3 with pirate heads).. And 4-5 stock metal ones needing paint + 1 custom built, and then 4-5 I started but never finished... I think I will do 1 squad as bad moonz, 1 squad as old style divers (round helmets) and 1 squad deffskulls.... I will have to add patches of planks to their armor (as well as to my existing red gits) like this crafty git from down unda badfang

Want to do some grot tanks (ships slightly large than bosses bike but same scale for grotz) probably count as buggies cuz dont got da rulz

I have 6 kanz and a dredd to work with as well, once I get my intial army I play with regularly down I will start on those. One of the gits i linked here has a blog on dakka about converting his old orks into freebooters, has big ol pirate hats on his kanz and what not.

Really need to work on some obj markers. I just cant ever for the life of me remember if dey supposed to be on a infantry base or 40mm???

(Not my work)

(had to dL and upload this myself... grrrrr)

http://landomisfittoys.blogspot.com/2011/12/badfangs-award-winning-custom-pirate.html

his ships are a lil weedy though if you check da blog

more pirate inspiration (not mine)

like the triangular flag on this guys buggies.. might add flags onto front of da land lubba like that, as well as the boss' ship

http://media.beta.photobucket.com/user/lord_caldera/media/DSCN0348.jpg.html?filters[term]=ork%20pirate%20army&filters[primary]=images

or this git!



His blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/120/266591.page

cool copter idea from somebody





i had planned a shark mouth on the boss' ship which i haven't spoken about yet, so some kopters to accompany him that look similiar would be cool

i was previously just gonna do flyin boats, with a mast/sail etc. might use extra copta blades on one as a pontoon style blower... one git always has ta be da fastest

updates updates.. Going to add a second mast in front of the skull on the handlebars. might give that skull a diamondplate/wooden pirate hat with a visor/slit for da boss to see thru


the magnet on the main mast has a hard time holding all that weight when he is on an incline so going to use paperclips or something to create lines/netting going down to the wide flange beam stick thing on the front. (sorry about my ignorance of nautical terms.)... anyways will magnetize those lines to front of boat as well for added stability, hopefully.

the 2nd mast will have another smaller flag, and a crows nest.

want to make a dual mini gun on a magnet that pivots on front of boat, with agrot gunner. would like him to have a stand/seat attached to gun that pivots with it... would also like to magnetize a skorcha to put between the barrels... so can run him as a nob biker, or a biker boss with kombi skorcha



thanks for lookin mates

This freebootaz fleet is gonna be amazing on the table! Those land ships are awesome! How did you carve the woodgrain... sorry if people keep asking. Are you going to do any triangular sails? Also, I think da Land Lubba could use a few brighter colors, dirtied up of course. Just because it's freebootaz, thats all. They look fantastic.

thanks mate the local game club finally got to see the ships last night and got a kick out of em


I take a sheet of plasticard, and a hack saw blade and drag it longways pressing harder sometimes for deeper groves... quick 25-50 passes and you got some nice grain

usually hold 1/2 down and scratch up other half, then flip it around (area in middle sometimes gets heavier grains because of the overlap)

video on it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmLq__4Q_IU (he has a nice hobby razor saw for it though... i just use a hack saw blade.. it works!)


I plan on making some triangular sails yup. Prolly 1 on front of bosses boat connected to his ram? (and something similiar on land lubba)

buggies/koptas might get those as well too

yeah not too much color on da land lubba... I'll post a photo once the crew are in place, and da boyz are aboard... brimming with green then!

played against some panzies last night, ended up tabling em on T5


My biker boss got shot up/killed by eldrad in a duel though the turn he outflanked... rough! so sad to see him leave the table!

Da land lubba got wrecked, then ramshackled and exploded instead

then my stock unpainted truck exploded, ramshackled and wrecked instead.... i switched the two out for a better lookin wreck... haha

thanks mates, the comments really keep me motivated

i got a boyz + trukk box a week or 3 ago that has been sitting around. will try and get to it this weekend if I have time but its anniversary weekend so!


Dying to get some peg legs hook hands and bandannas made myself. as well as more tri corn hats and..... PARROT SQUIGS




Forgot to read the rules for obj markers in escalation league as well >.< again........


so no clue still what to do there.




Anyone have tips on the nob diver helemts? I was thinking starting with something like a marble/plastic sphere and then cutting a flat face on 4 sides for looking glass plates? then back one for where it connects to neck? Figured loads of wires/tubes... but since my army theme will be a land lubbing pirates I'm trying to think of a way to incorporate the diving suits... like... thoughts...

one smashed through rocks and have him painted lke hes in the dark/in a cave and use OSL like a flash light where hes looking lots/how he got down where he was? (base would have to be HUGE though... i mean enough rock to go 2-3" above him and create a hole in it where he fell through... it'd be like a walking terrain piece


Thought of giving one a chain like he was an anchor and make it look like he was digging his heels into the ground being pulled as the vehicles "brakes"


and some not so diver themed ones....

Thought about doing some wooden planks/rigging on their backs and create platforms/crows nests with grots.... masts with flags coming off their backs etc


Plan on doing the same to the badrukk model, have a big ol piece of an ork engine on his back currently, building the hydraulics on his mega armor then will post pics once it's all basically together. The mast from the biker boss and his should be interchangable though in case i'm not using both models and forget one

the hearts! I love your manz! his PK looks weedy though1 I had same issue with mine, eventually put more plates on top of it connecting to his arm gizmos. someone told me mine looked "tacked on" and Thats how I fixed it at least!


sorry for the delay all. hopefully have more pix posted this week. not alot of updating, got 1 loota painted out of 15. he still need some OSL/basing/weathering so not done yet got the skin on the other 14 gits partway done at least



been majorly distracted by my night goblin army that is coming to fruition.

assembled a good 60 of the buggers so far. a mangler squig, and have 6 squig herders and 14 squigs to build next then start getting the rules down more. (been play testing rules against my old wood elves which I can hardly remember how to play).. been cutting 28 gauge galv. steel plate from home depot and gluing into movement trays and putting rare earth magnents in greenstuff pockets on bottom of bases

nothing worth taking pictures of though.

sorry mates!

almost done with these fellas

still need to mixed some evil sunz red and bleached bone maybe? to get a little brighter red on the squigs. (and on the orange squig with his tongue out's eyes, his seem a bit dull)


considering using the even brighter pink I have as well to highlight gums again?

I have another 12 squigs to paint for this unit in the escalation league .. so any tips would be appreciated.

not to mention 5 squig hoppers..

and a "the chase" unit filler

then a mangler squig...

and a goblin warboss on great cave squig..

and hopefully some squig themed artillery (or squig delivery systemz) (squig lobba (squig chained to a rock bein flung. thinking like the ball on a chain bitey-thing from mario.), doom diver (with flying squigs)


thanks for lookin mates


will finish da land lubba in a couple of weeks, as well as my biker boss, finish painting a squad of 10 boys, and 3 nob biker land ships (for escalation league goals)



Heres my lists:



warboss bike pk bp cybork skorcha

3 nob bikers 1 painboy upgrade cyborks 1 skorcha 1 bc 1 banner 1 pk 1 bp

10 boys 1 nob uprade eavy armor pk bp big shoota, shootas on boys, w/ trukk



goblin warboss heavy armor 5+ ward ironcurse icon gw

ng big boss gw bsb

23 ng full command spears

20 ng spears (maybe bows?)

5 squig hoppers

7 squigs 3 herders

doom diver (aka flying squig launcher)



this is just a fun army, but want it to be functional. could drop the gobbos down a bit and beef up the squig herd.

would be fun to bring a warboss on squig at this level
