I honestly don't want to soend £40 on a single Mega Armoured HQ and two units I can't use unless I buy another £40 box so I'm thinking of making this out of a bunch of spare I won in an ebay auction and a £4 Lord of contagion:

Spoiler:



It's just a quick photo shop I whipped up to see what it would look like. It would end up being a Looted Death Guard Terminator Mega Armoured HQ for a Deff skullz Big Mek. All the guts and tenticals will be turned into hazard lines wires and might require a bit if green stuff work. I have everything I need so for £10 I don't think it would be too bad if it all goes wrong. What do you all think? Do you think it's possible? You got any suggestions to make it more orky? I was thinking of making it crush a squig or grot.

I like the concept! Oddly, I think the helmeted head makes it seem more Orky.

If you've got a spare Eavy Choppa, you could switch out the axe head, and maybe switch a shoulder pad for one of the characteristic beaten/angular Ork pads.

Personally I would cut off the censers, not quite orkish enough to me. Also, if you have any plasticard lying around you could use to add some more plating to cover up some more of the chaos looking armor pieces.

Ask yourself: have you rated a gallery image today?

Yeah, I was thinking about this with the censers. And I'll be hoping to use this model on my trips to warhammer world so not sure if I'm allowed to add plasticard to it. I might greenstuff some stuff though and I got a few plates in my bitz box from ork stuff.

I like the Axe. It already feels orky and is honestly the reason I choice this model over a primaris marine.

As for the shoulder pads. I think they're buiot in but what I could do is chop off the mutated spike and then cover up the hold with orky looking plates so it looks like it was a quick repair job from the ork. Thanks for that inspiration.
