lol...but i can´t really tell what you added from that pic...

**adamsouza**

About 2 inches in height around the belly.

It's going to end up being turned in into an Evil Eye In Da Sky

I've already added the mount for the belly cannon,started armor plating it, and began working on a new head.

**Viktor von Domm**

sounds cool^^

**adamsouza**

That's because it is

I figured I already have a GW stompa, so I might as well make somethign different and go for some variety.

Stepping stones for the Gargant project I always wanted....

**Viktor von Domm**

healthy dose of self esteem^^

LOL...

**dsteingass**

Holy Gargantcrap Batman!! The Kans and Stompas are fantastic!! I've been in an Orky mood lately myself

**adamsouza**

Thanks !!

I got a lot of enjoyment out of making those. The Ork empahsis on Kustom instead of standard issue will always keep them my favorite 40K race to build models for.

**dsteingass**

I think I'll take a trip to my FLGS this fine afternoon to try and score a new Ork Bomma kit! did you see the sprues for that thing??

**Viktor von Domm**

yup... i had a look into the white dwarf for that.... and guess what... i bet someone could do a de-orkifysation with these...^^

**adamsouza**

If there were still a FLGS within 30 minutes of here I'd own one of those Bommas already. It looks like there are 3 setups so plenty of left over bits. Although I should probably hold off until I at least get the Stompa done.

**Viktor von Domm**

lol...that crown looks so hilarious! intersting improvement all over!

**adamsouza**

I want it to look like a head, serve as a look out tower, and turret as well. The "Crown" looks a bit less traditional, but I like how it looks with it better than without.

My next big step is to figure out how to build the Dethakopta launcher. I was thinking either a catapult

OR a launching arm, like they use for clay pigeons

**Viktor von Domm**

wow... that is ambitious... but i bet it will be looking good... tho will it be a relaoding one? or just a take off means for one kopta only?

and yes... stompas have to look individual... so yours is totaly in the right direction!

**adamsouza**

I thought about a loader device, but then I figured the Kopta pilot could just fly the Kopta onto the launcha.

**Viktor von Domm**

why then the launcher? will it give benefits in movement then?

**alabamaheretic**

do like a mortar drop em in a tube hit a pressure plate on the bottom and watch them go. i find that suitably orky.

**adamsouza**

It's in the rules and fluff. They just don't fly into battle. They are lauched into battle by the stompa.

I hadn't thought about that. That's suicidal by any other races' standards, making it SUPA ORKY !!!

With Grot piloted Dethkoptas , that are sphere shaped with a top propella....

**adamsouza**

Worked a bit on the head.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Hmm. This is the first one that is throwing me a bit. I know paint defines the piece, and I know from your other work that it will be amazing, but I'm not getting this one yet. The gun looks completely Orky, I especially like how each barrel is different lengths, not quite round, etc.

**dsteingass**

Is that an orange juice lid with gothic arches?

**RSJake**

I was trying to place the pieces that are used here. I agree with Dave on the OJ lid, and a Milk carton seal on the top? The little orange button thing looks familiar, but I can't place it. Granny grating in the window...and it looks like a syrup bottle top that the cannon is sitting in?

It does look very Orky at the moment.

Nice use of household stuff!

I'm constantly holding up random things trying to think of what it could be....my wife usually tells me, "If you're going to make that into something, it better happen quick, because if I see it laying around for a month, I'm throwing it out!"

At least she gets me, even if she isn't very patient with me.

that cold have been said by my very own wife too...lol...tho she would never touch my stuff... it is to her off limits by her own design^^

and adam... good looking head there tho i have to chime in with skalk here that the barrels would lokl better if done evenly...

**adamsouza**

My wife threatens me with that all the time, but I have a giant bitz box of crap that's off limits to her =)

The Gothic arched cap is from orange juice and the round bit on top was the seal from a container of half and half.

The left arm is a frame to rest 6 rokkits on. I need to come up with some large and suitabley orky close combat for the right

**dsteingass**

What brand of Orange juice?

..You guys just need to do a better job of hiding your junk- Out of sight, out of mind

**Briancj**

Tropicana provides the gothic arched caps, Dave. I've been collecting them.

**adamsouza**

Funny thing, I don't drink Tropicana OJ, I buy the store brand. I fished 4 or so of those caps out of a friends recycling bin, while visiting. He obviously didn't know how to recycle them properly.

**Viktor von Domm**

yup... the right place is of course inside a scratchbuilt suply box!!!
