Hell yea Frawg. If you want I can paint you up one. Just let me know how you want it equipped. I think thats an awesome idea.

The only thing I am trying to figure out is, what I am going to field them as. I already have a 12 man 'ard boyz squad (the guy with the sentinel foot is the Nob). Maybe as my Mega Nobz, that way I can also give them bioniks thanks to Grotsnik and they will be as tough as terminators, and look like them too. What are you fielding them as.

I'm fielding mine as nobs in 'eavy armor. I'm making use of the Warboss and Graz special rule to where you can field them as troop choices. Gonna build 2 full squads of 10. I know it will be costly but they do a number on my brother-in-laws necrons. They only armies I really fight right now are necrons, orks, and marines. But I plan on taking this army to its limits. When I get more done I might split them up and make them part of specialized unit. Like "Da Hammer will be the Nob for my tankbusta squad later on. So even the army list is a wip for now till the whole hoard is complete.

Alright, well I would like to field mine as Mega-Nobz. I refuse to buy the metal ones. So, A Meganob with TL shoota and PK will work just fine. I build my army, just basically whatever I find cool is what I build. I would like to eventually have one of every unit, but that requires a lot of overtime at work to buy them all. So, anyway, now that I am done rambling. I will field them as a unit of MegaNobz. I have 4 that I know of, and possibly a 5th or 6th lying around. I used the Black Orks for my Nobz in Heavy armor, I will post some pics in a few minutes, so I need to make sure they are a little bulkier than the others. Not that they won't stand out with the striking paint scheme and all. Thinking about making some of them with Powa axes and things, kinda break up the monotony of the TLBS and PK. Maybe a Thunda Hamma, stuff like t hat. I will steal some weapon combo ideas from the Space Wolf Termies, since they can use like any friggin weapon in the game in a single termie squad.

Feel free to use some in my scheme, from Big Mek Whizzits mob. Brown leather and cloth, Tin Bitz metals, with Dwarven Bronze metal details and blue hair squigs.

So I think what I might do, with other peoples permission, is add some of their ork clan to my own. Not sure weather I want a full squad of them, or just a few to mix in with the rest.

so ok, but to add mine in you'll either have to wait until i start painting them and then i can tell you what i used or just paint them up as bad moons in any way you like, but if you use a vehicle of any kind with my bad moons it can't be a full GW kit. It has to be modified in some way to make it "diffrnt", know what i mean.

I would really like it if you could post a picture. Hard to envision that in my head.

Same thing. I would prefer to see your paint scheme.

My thing is this, if I like someone's scheme (Schank) or like the fluff or theme of the army (my friend Roy) then I ask them if I have permission to copy. So get crackin on some minis and then I will ask if it is cool.
Time to head to the hobby shop, forgot to grab purple while I was there the other day, and you can't paint the "Purple Pirates" something non purple.

Trying to. As soon as I can either figure out how to transfer cell phone pics to computer, or find the computer cable for my digital camera...

If you want I can ask a friend of mine if he can spare some boyz from his Bluskarz clan.

Not sure if your cell is like mine, but I send pics from my phone to my email by sending a text. That will also allow you to send texts to your cell phone from your email. Like mine is my phone number @tmomail.net

Do you have any pics of the boyz? The name intrigues me.

Ha Ha your gonna have all kinds of misfit orks in mob. I know Artsoldier25 did a boys mob from the the ork trades he got from the great marine swap. Looked pretty cool to. Maybe you could do something like that with all the ones you do. And I can do up 'Da Brazen Klaw for the Nob of the group. Just an idea.

Why not? their Orks, theres only three colors they really understand anyways, and that's red, green, and not green.

as for painting my Waaagh!, that'll be awhile. I've got a lot of commissions going down and so my stuff is on the back burner for now.

Gratz Schank on post 100! I painted a flash git last night and started on another stormboy. I think tonight I am gonna man up and start working on the saucer again. So afraid to mess it up, but I know I need to get it finished. Hoping for the best here.

Purple Pirate flash git


2 Snakebite boys


2 Goff boys


and 3 of Madgobs personal bodyguard of Nobs



So, there you have some more of my mob. Sorry if this thread is so pic heavy, but I found most people don't browse through a gallery. Anyway, will post again later today if I get anything else done.

Very Nice Black Ork conversion. Me like. Solid weathering effect also. I might do a light Devlan Mud wash over the yellow just to dirty it up a bit so it flows with the rest of the armor. Other than that very nice.

I actually meant to dirty up the yellow as well as add hazard stripes, thanks for pointing that out, I forgot. The weathering and rust is actually just foundation orange over black, and then boltgun metal drybrushed over it. Real simple technique.

Awesome! I dig the rusty, unpainted look of the armor on those nobs. The purple pirates are full of win, too. The world needs more purple orks!

I'm working on a squad of kommandos w/ a desert scheme (kommando khaki + devlan mud washes), but it'll be a little bit before I can post some pics. Thankfully, my wife just got a new camera, so it shouldn't be TOO much longer...

stuff looks good, keep it up, brah. the saucer, yeah we'd like to see the pie plate some more, it's an interesting idea.

that flash git is really cool.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I figured the rusty look was a little more realistic. In my head, I imagined my snakebite orks being from a planet a lot like Catachan and consisting of mostly jungle and as such it rains a lot and they don't really care about upkeep of their weapons. That is also why all the bases are brown with a gloss varnish and moss flock. I am about to start back on the saucer, time to start researching how to build a convincing looking radar dish that will also allow me to use the brass rod as a support weight. I know plasticard will be a big part of it, it is just a matter of keeping it from getting too large and outrageous while still functioning as a stand while I wait to install the LEDs in the base. Anyway, time to create, where'd dem grots go?

You have some fine conversion work going on, Frawg. Keep this up, I'll be watching

Thank you NecronBender. I love your slurm machine. My wife bought me a can for christmas. Not as good as I had hoped. So, I have been beating my grots against a wall to get them to help me figure out how to do the radar dish on my saucer and it finally hit me last night. You see I tried doing a circle of plasticard and then turning it into a cone, but that was lame, so then I tried thinly cut rectangle overlapping. Once again lame. Then a surge of genius went through me as I watched a guy at work open an umbrella. Ah yes, the ever useful triangle. So, when I get some time to work on it after these 5 12 hour shifts, I will be making a radar that is basically an umbrella. Fear my mighty Lifta Droppa Umbrella. Also, not sure if anyone called dibs on this yet, but I AM SOOOOOOO LOOTING THIS!


Here is dialogue that ran through my head after I saw this.
Waaaghboss Madgob: "Wot is dat?"
Dokta Orkenstein "I don't know, but it's extremely deadly."
Madgob "Wot?"
Orkenstein "*sigh* It's dead killy."
Madgob "You fink we can loot it?"
Orkenstein "Maybe if you don't damage it too badly."
Madgob "Hur hur hur, let's see wot we can do."

Yeah Dokta Orkenstein doesn't talk like an ork, that is because he took a bolter round to the brain and he never dug it out and now he thinks on the same level as a human, but with all the qualities of an ork. He has become an extreme masochist and enjoys experimenting on himself as much as he does on other orks. When I get a chance I will make up Orkenstein as my counts as Grotsnik. Hoping the kustom powerklaw and orge body parts I have work well with what I have in my head.

lol orkinstein. good idea.

Also, not sure if anyone called dibs on this yet, but I AM SOOOOOOO LOOTING THIS!

your a day late and a dollar short. first thing i thought of when i saw that thing two days ago, was that Clan Moulder, and Clan Skryre would have a lot of fun with it. thats what gonna be so cool about doing 40K Skaven, is that the clans will have finally laid aside (most, not all) of their animosity towards each other and started to work together. So imagine this thing done up Rat Ogre style, and with Warpstone's on it.

Yes Sebastian, but the difference is I voiced my opinion clearly on dakka first.

why does it matter, Sebastian is doing one for skaven and your doing an ork one. there going to be different anyway

There is nothing like a little friendly competition. Smack talking is what started the competition between Schank and I, and look at the two awesome models that came out of it.

lol fair enough then... "i think frawgs one is going to be better... "
(not really SebastionSynn's one will be better)
ster ster...

Oh yeah, Sebastians conversions are intimidating, but that gives me all the more reason to work hard.

thanks for the vote of confidence, but Teek and Arakasi outdo me every day of the week. I can only aspire to be as good as they are. still, i think it should be interesting to see both versions, One that's been touched by a Big Mek, and another from the twisted minds of Clan Moulder and Clan Skryre.

Hell, I plan on buying two, one for my orks and one for my Dark Eldar. Haven't started on them, they begin after this July Mega Monster Battle Jam 2011! These over time shifts I have been working are going to my 40K fund. I am getting a dreadknight from a friend to convert into Megatron (Morkatron), but in order to do it I need to buy another Deff Dredd. To finish Waaaghzilla I am going to need another battlewagon, and then the Talos, and possibly a box of stormboys. Fortunately every extra day I work is roughly $230, so one or two days a month will keep me up to my elbows in models. *clink* BRILLIANT!
