Stuffs looking great, I'm feeling inspired!

Deffkopta and quad gun look really good, Skrall!

Wow guys, thanks for the responces! i'm glad someone's looking at this. felt lonely for a little while.

Right early update... I'm coming down with a chest infection so it may slow my progress to a crawl for a week, but i have finished the deff kopta's;




i've got the kitbashed gret populi mini (since grox seems to remind me of the pack animals in 40k).... still needs work doing (like mold line removal) but given i'm about to keel over i'll settle for it.

Ok guys, since i'm committing to orks for the foreseeable future (with the exception of Dark Elves in march/april) i'm gearing up for my next years apoc matches so i don't have to worry about pulling an army out of my backside. I did originally plan to bring an Emperor Class Titan next year, but i'm not sure i have the energy for that. We'll see.


I have however picked up a stompa for £40, which means i am going to arm it like a good stompa should be armed. Here's the loadout; I'm using the IA8 Kustom Stompa rules;

Da Belcha of Gork!

Custom Stompa
Left arm; Deth Kannon with ko-axil gigashoota, shoulder mounted kannon
right arm; Lifta Droppa, shoulder mounted kannon
Hull mounted flamebelcha, Powerfield, Deff arsenal, Red paint job

780pts

and the stompa, with its right arm removed.



good buy i think... now to make it killy!

-skrall

Aww, I thought you would go for the obligatory Belly Kannon!

Mate ur killing the scratchies, keep that shet up son, brownie points to killboy, that ride looked pimped.
Oh and maybe read my signature, I would murder for better, cleaner shots of ur models.

@novel; my stuff never photo's well on white. check out these though, the finished photo's are the sort you want.

Time for a bumper big update.

I've finished (more or less) the first dakkajet, and have the second 'everyman' jet in progress atm. Here's some photo's, first one a set of side by sides, then some higher quality stuff.

Dakka Jets look great. I like the bases too.

Thanks mate, they've turned out quite well.

Time for an update with the second jet,






I think washing the metal on the guns with necron abyss is really starting to add some depth...

Excellent stuff, very inspiring.

Nice work on those jets. Classic simple and effective colour scheme

Can't go wrong with the basics. It also helps i'm aiming to turn them into Deff Skwardon one day.

It's time for the long awaited update.

For the past week or so i've been writing list after list to build a tournie army for an upcoming competition. I settled on one last thursday and have been building/ordering the parts to complete it. So far i'm only waiting on a special trukk and boys to arrive from different manufactures (it isn't a GW run affair) so i can complete the list. At present however here's where it stands;



Quite a lot to paint, and alot of modelling to do. Heres a lovely list of what's to arrive/do;

1.paint, plasticard and a few other accessories are due.
2. Loot the Vegence battery's
3. Paint the ork squads.
4. Finish 'da secret' dakka jet in the middle. I'll give you a clue as to who the pilot is.... or better yet; it's Killboy himself!
5. re-paint captain Squigglybeard as he got re-modelled for WYSIWYG purposes.
6. Finish the Half-trakk trukk once the plasticard gets here
7. Add a few more details and points of interest on the second battlewagon.

I think that's everything, though i have till the first/second week of january to get it all modelled and either painted or at least base coated.

Wish me luck...

Gitzkrieg has got a new ally. Da Grox Populi.



Following some 'taktikal disgussionz with da boyz' Gitzkriegs Warbosses has realised they might not have enough bodies or fire power. This dismayed them, but there were rumours.

Still wanted by a host of Warbosses, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... Da Grox Populi!



Seriously though, my army has no ranged fire power and anti-air for av 12's that's reliable. The solution... use the whores of the 41st millenium, the Imperial guard. I've switched out a Big Mek, Dakka jet and trukk squad for a Vendetta, Lord comissar, and 25 strong infantry platoon with 5 grenade launchers. A good trade I feel.

Here's what's on my desktop for the weekend;




Yeah, you can see i have a lot of work to do this week. I have to rebuild a battery chaos vendetta into an orkish contraption, i have to paint 30 orks, finish Killboyz dakkajet, finish the paint of the second WYSIWYG dakkajet. On the other hand i quite like the test models for the grotz populi given my limited bitzbox for them. I've also got some new dice to i have enough for the average shooting per squad.

Those Grots look ridiculous, which means I love them!

Thanks mate, there's going to be a big update for them in the next few days, with any luck.

Ok, it's quite like but i've managed to cobble together a little more work on the vendetta. I've built some Kustom Lazzappa's for the vendetta, i've got some old LED's i installed for a chaos project re-wired, and i've added an on/off button (because it's a hastle to take a 9V out of the body of thing every time i want it turned off) and added the basics for the crew.




It's not much, in fact it looks very amaturish, but stick with me... i gotz a vision of da finks ta come!


-skrall

Another quick update, managed to get some basic sheeting down for the vendetta's hull and added a light switch. I've also managed to get the vengeance battery's looking a little bit more looted.





I don't think we'll be looking at a proper update till next week, but at the current rate i could have the entire army build and ready for paint by the end of next week.

Jan 6th is getting closer, but i'm ready.
