Just to echo what everyone has said. Amazing build and looks great now primed.
When I saw your tortured souls hanging about the first thought I had was Daemonhosts, so yeah, they would look good if you went with that.

Its great primed graven. Don't see what you're worrying about but painting should be good

Those thingies tank traps, fuel tanks, fiddly worky bits? The planes looking good. Paint always helps solidify a conversion.

Thank you soooo much for my box of tricks!!! I am going to have a blast with it

Thanks chaps once again for your kind words. No paint yet but slightly interesting news: I found a Goff rock band on eBay for a steal so if anyone has any suggestions for how to do the stage (aka flight stand) and mosh pit then do say!

put them on the front of the oval and build a overhanging stage light girder system to hold up the jet. You can run some l.e.d. spotlights as well as a tarp/backdrop behind them . No need for a mosh pit as the enemy will be moshed by the weapons.

back half of the oval raised up maybe use polystyreme foam, use papier mache or plaster to make a skirt around it like atraditional old school stage and place the band on top. Back quarter at the curve of the oval a stack of amps/ speakers and from the front of the stage a thick wire frame (coat hanger) bent in a square like a lighting rig and you could mount the avenger just above it as if it is floating/ swooping in from backstage.... The orks in running- waving gun or getting blown to bits poses, enjoying the gig and a few gretchin peeking out from under the stage

Thats my wee thoughts

Great build on the avenger amigo! Very classy.

Brain fried at the moment so no comments on stage antics, but think the guys are on the right lines with using the light rigging for support. Either that or toppling a big old stack of speakers.

Hanging penitents should make great daemonhosts, those incense bearers could be turned into some kind of holy incense shells for a vindicator type wagon couldn't they?

Cool ideas with the goff rockers. I think I might have some backstage grots, and the band on stage over the front. I might use a whirlwind launcher as an amp, and I've got lots of IG crates that I can use for gear ( I may have a grot guitar roadie, too).
MT - great to see you, and if anyone has good ideas for orks, it's you. The ones I scored were without the incense burners, alas (but they were, you know, free). I'm thinking of a single daemonic mark on each - a mouth in the belly for one, a tentacle out the back for another and... something else?!
Some paint! Proof I do stuff occasionally:

To me it just highlights my shoddy gs work though

A good beginning.

Is what I did for my Epic version

The mail came through!!!

mere men would have rest the case...but not this brave messenger...
"NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR GLOM OF NIT CAN STAY THESE MESENGERS ABOT THIER DUTY" ...



better pics to follow as swiftly as this thread recently was able top provide...


and a big thank you again for trying and succeeding...graven...this should be a saluting orkmoticon... thanks on so many levels...!

cheers, vik

also... I am wondering... if your avenger makes so many holes into just a jam sessioning bunch of orks... wouldn´t that be , beside being plain awesome, make your SOB a bit evil?...I mean...

"Where there is song, you can safely stay, wicked people have no songs".

If it's not a hymn, then we're not interested Heresy!

Also, I am very, very relieved that this attempt got through to you - thanks be to weety!

she sent it?... aha...

and...

"If it's not a hymn, then we're not interested Heresy!"

LOOOL... that was a good one!

^ I try
@ llama - you've given me an idea *shakes fist*

Sorry for going a bit quiet. Work has turned into an unholy smegstorm which is going to turn very ugly.

Been thinking about the rock band, provisionally called Hot Blak (bonus marks for first person who gets the reference). I realise we need drums and a keyboard. I figure if I use an exorcist organ's keyboard then the Avenger is justified!

Wow, That's awesome, a little paint as Llamahead said really brings the model together.

So will one of the band members be dead for tax reasons?

Thanks 1MN! I need to get some more on it, before I get totally distracted by the base

And yes, internet cookies to MT. I think that's the name of their new album (or possibly what the Avenger has planned.

Roughly, the basing will be (at the moment) a couple of CoD building plates, in assorted rubble - or should I actually make a raised stage? The stem's going to be strewn with lights, probably IG searchlights.

As for positioning on "stage" I thought maybe the guitarist goffs down the front with keyboardist one side (again, possibly raised) of the stem at the back Left and the drummer on the other, likewise on a raised bit. Is 5 enough, or will I have a singer also?

Does that all make sense? Still have to work out where the gobber roadies are going

Don't forget to get these guys for the mosh pit if you do one.

And you roadies carrying the equipment

Not only do you need a singer(lip sinker), you need a human or grot behind stage actually singing into the microphone

I've never seen the animosity group before! I'm thinking of making the audience the base of the accompanying valkyrie. And now, they are a plan!
Here's the band just now:

Drum kit is doing my head in, can't get it quite right. I do know there will be a gong for the squig to bang!

What were those round thingies the Mistress of Cakes found for you the other day....would they be suitable for drums?

Awesome.
Going to vote for a steel drum kit one of those Caribbean ones with the wonderful sounds made of oil drums. Equally an Ewok style Glockenspeil made of marine heads would work beautifully. Plague Monk sprue has a proper gong on it and I've got Ork and Zombie ones if your interested.

@MT - I shall tell her you called her that! mysterious microbiological bit, a little small though. I have literally hundreds if you'd like some to play with?
@ llama - plague monk gong is exactly where I'm going with this, and an ewokglok is a great shout.

We've been clearing out the kids' old toys today. Nabbed this beauty, it's like a foot high, and I've had my eye on it for 6 years...

Gee, I wonder what that's going to become?

A warlord titan?

Love the band so far, like the idea of SM helmets for drums.

Stompa's are about a foot high...

Khorne lord of battle, definitely.

Well the tracks will go to an orky battle-wagon, the arms will become claws on a brass scorpion, the pipes on the head will become exhausts on a nob biker, the top of the head will be a command cupola on a necron flying disc, the rest of the head will be the stage for the goff rockers and the torso will become the main body of a UFO SHADO-mobile, with the openinng roof to reveal the missiles.

Duh, obvious

Yup obvious now I look at it!!

You guys are fething hilarious So, yeah, eventually, a stompa, complete with led eyes and mouth, opening torso and gut - a fun long term project with the kids.
Also - Drum kit:

And group shot:

next, rivets on the stem! There will be runt roadies, too, including an ammo runt. onwards!

Drum kit looks boss, love the squig with gong beater in it's mouth
