Subject: Iron Goblins! (formally Da Sky Rats, AOS army)

Right I've been playing the Kharadons for some time and well they're not my speed...so I decided to switch up may Sigmar Army and go Iron Weld Arsenal with Steam Tanks and Cannons, here a link to the new part: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/760600.page
This project is something I've had going on The Waaagh, and I am now sharing it here.
So basically, I remembered reading something somewhere about GW thinking about making Sky Pirate Goblinz to tangle with those Kharadon Overlordz dwarves. So I i've been waiting, and then well decided, If GW ain't ganna do it I will. The plan is to use 40k grotz and scratch build the ships, here's my beginning of their IronClad:
Well as I wait on Amazon to deliver more supplies, I started in on its main weapon today, a Sky Kannon. The local players around here play stormcast.... AKA good armor I need something with a big Umpft to it.
Mounted on the ship:
The mounting is a 40mm base which has a metal fender washer under it. The turret mounts 3 magnets, and a pin which holds it together really well.
C&C welcome.

Thanks, it takes a lot of work to do these kinds of projects.
So update, I got the supplies to make the main gas bag. 140mm empty Christmas ornaments, I started to make the atatchments, the gas bag actually dis connects right now to allow for detailing and painting, I'll glue it into place once I finish.
And a painted Gobo, with a pirate hat:
C&C welcome.

I will admit I hate doing them, but its always worth it.
So last pictures before priming:
And all its parts broken apart for painting, they're held on with pins and magnets:
C&C welcome.
Also I need to figure out what the primary colors for this army is going to be.

Thanks!
So while I've been working on paint, I got my goblin bitz. The two sheets in the middle are from ebay, the rest are from my bitz box. I'm starting my crew work, and well don't ask me what bitz are which I got loads. I think the gun is from old school dwarfs and the torso I think is empire soldier and the legs are goblin legs.
And the First of my Ground Forces (Arkanut Company) He's the leader:
And well a scale with an arkanaut infantry (I actually own a bunch, they're ganna get bitz out for this army)
C&C welcome.

I'm not a huge AoS fan myself, but this is brilliant. Excellent scratch building and a fun idea to tie everything together. Keep up the good work. I'll be following this closely.

Thanks for all the comments, concerning the airship I am waiting on money because I need bigger brushes and some more paint (also need to figure out my colors). While I am waiting to figure out things I built more crew and began painting them. Where there we're two there are now 10, these are the first crew for my pirates:
C&C welcome.
PS: I am also looking for parts, Goblin legs and Armored Torsos from fantasy if you can help drop me a PM, I got bits to trade and a little money.

So quick Update, the first squad, also known as "blue Squad" is done.
Now I start the big ship.... I am afraid of making it look horrible with a bad paint job...

Thanks for the Complements!
Small update, I am painting the Ironclad.
I do need some advice, I want to go with an accent color. My orginal thought was yellow, but I'm thinking a cream or white might work better. Thoughts?
Comments and Critique welcome!
