Escalation = 4 games - 500pts 1000pts 1500pts 2000pts
Highlander = only allowed one of each unit selection! (with troops being an exception)
Exciting stuff!

Highlander means I have to look at some new unit types!... I can't bring all the kans.
So I'm going to add a jet, morkanaut and a battle wagon.

Red items are NOT built or painted yet...
1 week to get ready!

Panic...

Yeah,
Today I built the grotza-a-bomber..
Didn't use the ork cockpit..
I used both grot gunner seats, made a cheaky copy of the grot body.

Weapons not yet stuck on will be magnetised so I can run all three jets.

Four days left to build the morkanaut and battle wagon.
And paint all three.

Panic...

Never has your tendency to put your username at the end of your posts seemed more appropriate! Four days will go quick, good luck and I bet they will look great!

Yeah,

indeed! 3days left! I think I can get the painting done in two. One day left to finish up the new models...

Morkagrot!
Leg connection sockets cut out and moved to the bottom.
(I've switched the Left hip socket to the rightside, and vica versa, it helps with reconnecting the hull.)
I saw this conversion in the ork thread during the codex launch.
It lifts the belly up and makes the robot a little taller and less lazy!?

Further weight reduction by leaving off engine parts and shoulder/knee pads ect help with making it more gritty less orky.

Arms will be magnatized for removal but I decided that I'd never wants a Gorky-grot so I've not magnatized the options...

Almost complete I still have to fill in the bow tie shaped gaps at the side.

Panic...

Yeah,
95% complete!
Just minor magnetising and trim fixing to do on the battlewagon.
Should be able to still do this!
2days to go!








The plow shield raises and lowers for assault


2 days! Paint today!

Panic...

Looking awesome! Letz 'ope you git dat finished

Excellent work and love the redesigned kits especially the battlewagon the height really makes it more grot like and adding the the rommelesque Grot really finishes it perfect

yeah,
Cheers guys!

So yesterday evening was almost wasted due to a Sky TV instalation!

I did however complete the Battle wagon - I've very happy with this now!


And get things sprayed.
I sprayed dark green and the dusted down with the usual grass green.


I have only today to get these painted.
But I still think/hope I can get them to tabletop standard!
I have about 8hours to throw at them later.

Panic...

I'm on last minute painting run too. How hard can it be.

2 x Heldrakes
6 x Obliterators
5 x Cultists

EASY.

yeah,
I got things about 75% done and good enough to play with...

My results on saturday were 2 wins 2loses!
not bad for the little runts


Panic...

Love seeing the army in battle.

That titan must have been pretty worried there, haha.

yeah,
The titan put the force field pointing backwards.
RoKkits bounced off him!
He only lost 2 HP during the game.

and he Stomped on grots!

Panic...

yeah,
So decided to start a quick project.
I was sent this photo on facebook, It's an awesome weird boy conversion.
Amazeballz

So I bought a Cairn Wraith and a box of fanatics to shamelessly copy the idea build my own.
It's the grot way!

I originally bought the fanatics as the cheapest source of night goblin heads...
However while looking at them, I had the idea...
What if one fanatic is holding onto the weird boy to stop him floating off!



I chopped the arms and face off a rogue trader era grot and fit him inside the cairn wraith.
Attached the fanatics rope to the weird boys neck and started building a big electro-weird staff... maybe too big?



So tomorrow I hope to smooth him out fix the gaps.
Bulk out the weird staff handle and get some paint on him.

Panic...

NEVER TOO BIG

All look awesome, awesome job all around.

Weird boy conversion is looking ace, too, and no, the staff is not TOO big, just big ENOUGH!

If anything, the chain holding him from drifting away might be. Have you considered something with smaller links, or a rope, maybe? as is, might overpower the figure a bit... Anyhow, your call, and as I said before, coming along great.

Wow, insane conversion Panic! Looks really fun and very grot-like

The thickness of the chain is a good point Littletower, but I think once painted it will all fit together to the eye really well (right now it gets lost behind the awesome gun since everything is just grey).

A very dynamic piece of conversion work

Delightfully bizarre. I dig it!

He looks really cool Panic, the weapon looks fine as it is, big is good for the little grots.

Great conversion! Very characterful. The Night goblin wraith works really well.

Going back to check the rest of your stuff now. All things goblin-y are great

AWESOME STUFF!

Sorry just found you, great work all round, man truly after my own heart.

Latest job, looks brilliant, no issue with size, looks outstanding.

yeah,
Thanx for the feedback

I feel I need to highlight the original idea is not mine!
I had spoilered the source in my post above some of you might have missed it?
It's by this guy - http://leskouzes.blogspot.fr/ awesome blog.
And yes the wraith/fanatic combo is aces!

Anyways today I got the final GS done, filled the hood gaps bulked out the handle.
And sprayed him up, the spray came out a little rough but should be ok



Will hopefully finish him tomorrow.

Panic...

Love it, what a brilliant conversion

yeah,
I was Incredibly hung over today with shaky hands so no panting :(
But I did rummage through my bits box and found a necromancer

I cut below his knees off and hollowed him out and plopped in a pair of grot legs.
His right hand looked ok holding the staff but the left arm was too long... so I shortened it about 3-4 mm..
Cut the sword down to a dagger and gave him a RT monowheel to ride about on.


A pair of Weird Gits

I think it works great.

Panic...

Yup, it works great...

Keep it up, I got a grot weirdboy but he's nowhere near as cool as these guys are!
Must get some fanatics

Amazing... subscribed.

I love the floating/hovering weird git. That staff is beautifully oversize.
