What no organ gun?!?!

Just kidding- the whole thing looks terrific- rock on!

Thank you...
...and I did an organ gun many years ago back when they only made them out of metal and were very hard to find.

That is amazing!

That whole setup is delightful! The colored lights facing the audience are a particularly fun little touch.

I have those barricades-- I use them in Deadzone. I think I have the Orky version somewhere, as well.

That SOB Organ vehicle is ace- very nicely scratchbuilt combined with the standard APC platform: makes it look like the 'factory' version, but with better detail.

For your Ork band, I was thinking more of an electronic keyboards set up a' la the band Cheap Trick, and with barrels pointed towards the audience!

Keep on with your bad self, always fun to come here and see what's new.

Thanks, I did source lighting on the model, but my crappy photo taking can't show it.

I though about other band members, but that stage is too small.


OK, I'm 81% absolutely positively beyond all doubt that I'm done with my ork terrain.
I do not need an ork brewery or Quonset huts or that crashed jet that has been in storage forever.
So, since I am 70% absolutely positively beyond all doubt that I'm done with my ork terrain, I'll work on my trees next.
Here are the pictures of the last piece of ork terrain that I'm absolutely doing for now.
Because I am 58% absolutely positively beyond all doubt that I'm doing trees next.

Impressive terrain work there!

Oh yes, you're doing it right.
Mighty impressive work there, also showing GW what a garage should look like, rather than two walls with TONS of details on them, but no mass.

Great work Mate !! Both the sisters ride and the workshop

My gosh: it's the last of the police V8 Interceptors!

"Piece of history..."

Great looking stuff. You could maybe make the break less severe and do some orky trees?

That GW piece was nice, but it did need more to it.

It was really built out of necessity. At the time GW just wasn't selling sister's vehicles.
The sisters had some very lean years.

You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

I think those would just be big mushrooms.

I've started putting together those Archon Studios trees. They are pretty nice, the company puts out a lot of nice stuff at a good price point.
I have ten trees for $69 bucks and they look great, nice size too. Hopefully by the time I get done with them the weather will have warmed up enough that I will feel safe priming my good miniatures.

Honestly giant mushrooms would be awesome as trees, probably less delicate and way less fiddly I bet.

You're making excellent progress, Tommygun1918. "Orkypalooza" (or would it be "Wachen Orky Air"?) is coming along quite nicely. Fantastic paintjobs to match the excellent conversion work, my friend.

Yeah, the mek workshop is really cool, but it's a vignette backdrop more than anything else. would have been cool if GW had followed up with more Ork terrain, like a generic Ork mud hut set or something.

As for SoB vehicles - for some reason I bought another Exorcist many year ago, shortly before it went OOP. Haven't played my SoB since 2013 I think, but somehow I'm still weirdly glad I got two.




@Warboss_Waaazag: Surely it's got to be Waaaaaaghcken.

I've wanted to do large mushrooms for years, but the problem with them is the amount of putty you need for them. If you want them to look nice, you need a decent quality putty, but those get expensive for 10cm tall mushrooms. You could probably buy them premade cheaper.

Yes, that old metal exorcist is one of the most unique models in GW's range.

Thank you much! I still need to recreate a paint scheme for my new orks.


Oh, one more thing... I just found more ork stuff. I had forgotten about the scatter terrain that came with the Kill Team starter set...

God DAMN that is some absolutely blinding scratchbuilding bravo my friend

Awesome work on the Orky terrain, that workshop is amazing with the engine. How big is the engine? Can we get a lad for scale?

Little Orky Drummer Boy is amazing as well. Does he have a name yet? How about Dave Grorkl? Or Ringork Starr, or Mork White?

Can't believe I missed that Exorcist tank from earlier, what an awesome build. Looks amazing!

Here is a picture for scale. The design was originally for a large Kill Krusha tank, so a big engine. Sorry no names.

Thank you. I have another custom sisters vehicle I need to paint up I did a long ago. It not as elaborate, but it has a ton of candles.
I need to Photoshop and print up a bunch of old parchment documents to put on the sides.

This Sci Fi heavy metal Catholic priest came in the mail this week.
He came with a large Jesus stick to beat faith into any heretic.
It is in no way related to Game Workshop, Warhammer or the God Emperor.

That engine is huge. But bigger is better!

Nice looking chaplain. Little sad that’s GW’s current offering for a TDA chaplain is so lame. I know he had some big shoes to fill, but he just fell sort on so many levels. It’s why I kitbashed mine, but that’s a good 3rd party option.

After all the filthy xenos in this blog, it’s time for a good purging!

Here are the test colors for my trees. I'm going for fall colors. The yellow is a maple tree and the orange is really an evergreen, but I wanted more fall colors.
Maple trees come in a large variety of shapes and they have one called a sugar cone maple that is roughly evergreen in shape (that is cone shaped).
So with the colors I used, I think it is passable for a maple tree. So I'm happy with how they came out.
I will also be making a few in red and maybe some with a mixture of two colors as some maples don't change colors evenly.
There is one unique tree in the set I think they call it a spirit tree that I will be painting the foliage pink, because why not have one spring color.
The set also came with three dead trees, which I would have preferred to have more maple, they are nice looking.

Wow, the organ gun conversion is wonderful. Exalted.
The terrain piece is really cool.
The trees are well done.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you. That Sister's Exorcist is from my old Warseer blog.


Well, more trees. Six out of ten done.

That is one big block! trees are looking nice and creepy too

Thanks, I'm finishing the last of the trees now.


So, the last few trees will be getting custom bases as each tree comes with a stump that double as their base.
I wanted to have a few stand alone stumps by them selves to go with the trees and the custom bases will replace the tree's missing stumps.
I just used tree bark and JB weld Kwik wood putty to make them. It's a lot cheaper than hobby putty and is more than good enough for terrain projects.
They have a bit of a Bonsai look to them now. Maybe I'll achieve zen as I sleep tonight?

Tommygun1918,

Are those GW trees?

Those trees are from are Archon Studio's "Dungeons & Lasers Tree Pack"
They make great terrain at a good price point. Their Rampart line is also very good.

Arbor Day!
I now have a tiny forest and a proper game mat. I can finally retire my green felt cloth.
I really like these trees and I'm tempted to get more.

In my continuing archeological digs into my Games workshop repository, I have discovered an arcane item perhaps from the ethoterical times of 4th or 5th edition. I have it primed and I'm thinking of going for a John Ford Western color scheme. Think red bluffs and Monument Valley.

Tommygun1918,
