This agent of The Fallen has been busy last night, he chewed my only good brush so now I can't paint
He is in his forever grumpy mood.

Automatically Appended Next Post: Since I couldn't paint anything today I knocked up a Bik Mek with Force Field for my Orks.
He's made using various bits from the Nobs box and an AoBR Nob.
The Kustom Mega Blasta, made from 2 of the bionic arms from the Nobs box and an end of a plasma Gun.
The Force Field, I wanted it to look like it had been copied from an advanced alien race.
SGUIG IN YOUR FACE.

Thanks, what do you think of the Force Field generator?

I didn't know you had Orks! That's a really clever use of bits on that Big Mek.
It gives me some ideas for a Big Mek that I might have in my army, as I don't like the original KFF Big Mek.
I think a fancy conversion like this is much better!
The only things I would change would be the Big Choppa and the KFF.
I'd say the Big Choppa needs to be fashioned into more of a (monkey) wrench type shape.
Also the KFF is fine now but I think it would benifit from having some more shape and size which is usually the norm with Orky tech.
I think you could achieve this by adding some Tesla Coil type things sticking out everywhere.

Spoiler:
Like this awesome Mek I found while searching for KFF conversions. NOT MINE BUT I WISH IT WAS.
Actually come to think of it, those are the force shield generators from the Battle For Macragge set.
Maybe if you could Get Your Hands On those or something similar...

I think it's a good start. Maybe a few more bits: access panels, wires, etc. Are the green and purple wires going to be connected to his arms? The screws can definately work (especially after seeing that referece pic from Flying Pooo), but they still look like screws atm. Maybe some orbs to put on the top? You can probably just screw them on

Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I'm still trying to work out how I am going to add some hatches.
I wasn't planning to make the wire go to the arms but I may make one going to the Kustom Mega Blasta!!

Okey Dokey, progress has been slow because I got dumped with a ton of homework.
But... Got the next vet done.
Got the next three's green basecoat done, hopefully more progress soon!!

I find myself imagining what your version of Azrael would look like. He's really a brutal HQ choice and a total monster in combat. If you ever find the itch to make him, we'd all love to see it. Great stuff!

I've missed quite a bit! I'm liking the Rhino and those Vets are ace.
Don't worry this thread won't die you have some great stuff here people will find it.
I'd say keep posting here, but if you''re worried about lack of responses, you can open a showcase thread to show off your finished models.

I think you should keep posting. Seeing a lot of good things in this blog, while seeing some things you can improve on. Maybe you can try some OSL on that power mace of the latest vet?
Looks good, I'd say you have that scheme down pretty good now. How about trying out a more ambitious scheme for the mace. Some lightning or mirrored effect.

I totally feel ya, I hate it when that happens. A few tips to generate come comments: your vets look great, so don't get me wrong, but posting each individual model isn't really neccessary as they are so similar. And since they're similar, posting the next vet in the squad probably won't generate a lot of additional comments. Squad pics work just fine. If there is something specific that you'd like input on, ask a question. Answering a question (ie do you think this shade of red works? is the pose natural?) is easier to do than generating a general opinion.
Hope that helps, keep up the good work!

Thanks Guys, I guess I'll posting, although it may get slower as I currently don't have much money.... Spent all my christmas and birthday Loot.
Got some games in today at my local GW; one against Grey knights which I won and the other against Tyranid which I also won.
More models coming soon. Also I need to paint 40 Lotr Uruk-hai for a tournament. =(
