...and the Quad Gun.

And finally a shot with a Crusade Rhino to show how it all fits together as medievalish.

thats some seriosuly cool stuff right there. nice one

Loving the quad gun especially!
Consider it another borrowed idea

Just looked through this entire blog. There's some really amazing stuff in here.

I'll be keeping an eye on this forward and it's absolutely mind blowing.

Thanks, guys! I don't post as often as I should... especially with WIP pictures. I just always forget to take photos when I'm in a project!

Anyway, I mentioned having played a 40,000 point game recently. Figured I would share some photos of the massive event. It was 4v4 players, divided along Imperium lines:
Space Wolves w/ Knight Ally
Space Marines (Imperial Fists I think?)
Space Wvoles w/ full Knight Detachment
Dark Angels

v.

Chaos Marines (Nurgle)
Chaos Marines w/ Daemons w/ Orks (ME!)
Orks
Orks

The game was a blast and the good guys (Chaos & Orks) won the day! Well, it was actually 3 days... Gotta give it to JAC Games in Akron, Ohio and especially Chris--the owner--for always throwing down a good time.

Oh, and I just realized in posting these that I never actually posted pictures of my Orks from last Fall. I'll get on that ASAP. A few custom buggies, bikes, and deffkoptas. Along with two never-finished Battlewagons.

Alright, I gots me some Ork Pictures. First up are the boring old Boys. Nothing special. Orks is Orks.

Now for some fun stuff! I was SO excited when the 6th Edition Ork Codex came out in June 2014 (sadly, that's when I started on this little warband). I knew right away I wanted speed but, also, opportunities to build fun orky stuff. First up are some minor conversions on the Bikers.

And the Biker Nob.

AHHHHHH! Orks are so much fun!

I really like the ork doing the superman on the bike!

Thanks, Ustrello. They're just so much damn fun!

Next up is the WARBOSS! Got him fitted out with a Power Klaw, Da' Lucky Stix (modelled as a giant bosspole), and a Bike.

That warboss is cracking!! great effect at the back with the spinning wheel/mud.

Thanks, Januine. The spinout/mud effect was the first time I'd ever worked with clump foliage. I struggled through a few different attempts using Elmer's glue per online recommendations but just ended with a soggy, gross mess everytime. Ended up just POURING superglue on it. Besides the obvious fume brain damage I received, it also gives the whole model some much needed support at the base.

What is a Biker/Warboss group without some added support?!? Queue the Painboy! Yay FnP saves!

There are some truly inspired and crazy Painboy bike conversions floating out on the internet. Dakka itself is such a great place! Models range from basic Painboys riding bikes to full blow surgical suite equipped ambulances. I wanted something in-between. Plus, it needed to have a savage, brutal looking operating table complete with crazy surgery mechanisms. An Ork-surgery should probably only be a 20-30% success rate (lieka 5+ FnP roll!)... the doctor just as likely to decapitate the patient as he is to fix him right up. I'm happy with how it turned out.

All these beautiful bikers! I love them!

I'm glad you like them! Your Ork creation are amazing.

Here's some shots of the whole unit.

Alrighty, here come the Buggies! Never liked the buggy or go-kart vibe of the originals and, while there are a ton of great buggy conversions online, I really wanted to do something a bit different. TANKS! These are kind of a hybrid between a got tank and a warbuggy. Think Metal Slug Tank. But with junkyard metal. And rockets. Lots of RED ROCKETS! These were an absolute blast to make. I started with some cheap ATV toys from the dollar store and built up the rest with various Ork bits and plasticard.

There are five in total. Here's number one:

And Number Two. He's driving closer to hit you with his ax!

And Number Three. He brought a LOT of Rocket firepower. AT BS2, maybe one will be a hit!

Alright, here's Buggy Number Four!

And, last but not least, Buggy Number Five! As you can see, he's not the most polite...

I tried to keep the all five buggies instantly recognizable as buggies while making them a bit more junked up, hobbled together tank vibe that Orks are known for. Each one is different, being a hodge-podge of various rocket bits. Seemed like the Orky thing to do.

It's funny how we both give our chaos a break to work on loads of orky conversions at the same time

Furthermore,i love these! I'm scratchbuilding a buttload of vehicles right now and will probably start a second P&M thread purely because of that - it's why my chaos thread is somewhat dormant currently.
And what paint scheme did you use to get that rustic junkyard effect? Very mad maxy!

Alright.... it's finally done. Well, almost done. Still have a few details to pick out and the base needs to be flocked but, all in all, here he is........

MY CHAOS KNIGHT!

This has been a long time coming and I apologize for posting pictures months ago with very little follow through. Oh well. Hopefully the payoff is worth it! Let me know what you think! And sorry for the poor quality photos. I really need someone with photo talent to help me out.

CRIKEY!!!!! That is absolutely tremendous!! Beautiful beautiful work there fella. Spot on. So many excellent little details to find and marvel at. Great work man - really really top notch

Wow, that knight looks fantastic! Really great job!

That is what the chaos knight should have looked like! You should apply for a job at Forge world because you just showed the guy who sculpted the existing chaos knight how it's done. Great work, I love it.

All hails Chaos Knight ! Glorious cathedral of hate rambling through the battlefield for slaughter and misery !

Already said how I love your build, and that paint job shows him filled with unholy energy. The lords of ruin will be pleased, and so should you.

Thanks, guys! I appreciate all the great feedback!

Back to Orks. Here are some standard Deffkoptas. The only conversion here is the smoke exhaust holding them up rather than having them on the clear stands.

Wow. Lots of cool stuff in here since I last dropped by.

Bikes look wicked, the Knight is jaw dropping and the light tanks for 'buggies' are a great concept over what we're used to.

Keep up the good work.
