What the.....

Dude these are DEFINITELY bigger than the current Stompa model. Mine are at least 25% bigger...and they've been to Jenny Craig Weight loss centre so they could lose their mumus - much to the chagrin of their ork brethren because the ride into battle isn't as comfortable as it used to be any more...

hahaha, bloody awesome work mate. Keep at it, and 3 ork stompa's will be ready for a damn big WAARRGGH! ;p

Well there are no "standard" for Orks, imo.

These are totally cool, and totally orky!

Paint. Must see paint.

Loving the work so far. Keep it up, you crazy thing you.

I meant that they are not as fat as a normal stompa.

Congratiolations kharndude, you have been selected to be the trios first target.

Destroy the unbeliever!

That's not necessarily a bad thing. I always thought the fatty gargant in a mumu look was both ridiculous and dumb. I mean, Orks may not be the brightest critters in the 'verse, but why do all their stompas and gargants look like overweight women in flowy dresses? Made no sense to me.

Lol - Ok kharndude I understand now No they are not as fat as the GW stompa, which is what I'm not a big fan of. But after seeing the stompa conversion with the battlewagon head and jaw, I think that beefs it up to look less overweight and more destructive.

I also like the fact that mine look like they will stomp you to death - instead of get lost under the dress.

PAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNT!!!!!!!!!!!

Lemmingspawn, as usual your work and how productive you are doing it is both impressive and makes me hate you even more.

I hope these stompas will get trolleys for their junk like the last one did.

Three legs are better than two!

Lemmingspawn, oh how I wish you'd post to the gallery. That way your pics would be
tied to your name and I could see the Triplo Concentrato Stompa Action from places
that normally block image galleries (hooray for work!)

Absolutely loving the verdigris weathering! And the "pilot" is totally inspired! Great stuff!

I love them SOOOOOOO much!

Somewhere there is a man who just bought a whole bunch of the new GW stompas and then read this thread. He is feeling inadequate.

@Lemmingspawn: i think it looks like it was built for a speed freaks army. the legs are longer which means it could have a longerstride, so it could go faster.

@Paul Atreides: im not afraid of a stompa or three.
im afraid of the eldars scorpion tank (two pulsars)

Well, you followed through with a great paint job...

A job well and truly done
[pats Lemmingspawns back]Good work pal[/back patting]

Me... Not... Worthy...

Great paint to complement the insanely creative work that went into putting these things together! Kudos.

Yet another inspirational piece to get me off my duff and back to the workbench.

Cheers!

Rightio de ho de ho - more paint. I am about halfway through finishing the final stompa. If anyone is interested in buying any of these - please pm me. Here's the pics:

THAT IS A COOL MINI!

Too much awesome!

How do you paint the metals, and painted metal plates? Do you have some silver spray and wash from there?

This time I started with a black spray undercoat, followed by heavily undercoating with a red brown, then rough undercoat of tin bits and edging with boltgun metal. That's the main colour undercoat, to give the metal more of the weathered worn effect (after I paneled in all the other colours) I used a wash of a mid orange brown, following by thin black and then various GW washes of many colours over the top of that. It's pretty intricate.

Very nice! I like how your painting style draws the eye to all the little details.

They're even better than the original one you made.
I hope You will make a better place of this world by building more of those

Wow these are amazing I hate to know how long this project has taken you. How did you manage to stay focused to continue working on these beauties.

The final installment in the 3 STOMPA MEGA MEK WIELDING RIVET MANIA STEEL BENDING FEST!!!!! Here's the final stompa, built, painted and sealed - ready to go!!! It's been a fun trip but it is SOOOO FRIKKIN NICE not spending 4 months building stuff any more! Since stopping building these I have built 2 landraiders, 3 dreadnoughts, 1 razorback/rhino and fixed up numerous other modelling projects.

Wow it feels good to be able to speed through something again!

Anyway - enough rambling from me here are the pics.















If someone would like to buy one - they are for sale...

They are beautiful.
