Just got into 40k about two months ago now, but took to orks like a fish to water. So many possibilities. And bare with me on the pictures too please, cell phone afterall.

What may not be obvious here is that it is on a halftrack body. This was a good month in the making, but all the paint was finished as of about 20 minutes ago.

Only my second conversion and early on in my painting career. Any and all critique, whether good or bad, is much appreciated.

looks like anus.


btw hi Dan ^_^

You're always a charmer CJ

Finally someone using the Orky glyphs! Though you could have used the glyph for Waaagh!! as well...


Brilliant work. Not enough looted Tau stuff, in my opinion. Looted Broadsides as Looted Wagons with Boomguns would be neat, or Battlesuits as Deffdredds.

Thought about doing some Tau battlesuits for killa kanz and such. Just got done with a SM dreadnaught to Deff Dread recently, will post pictures up once its painted.

If i may ask, how did you create the giant glyph plates? been thinking about making some for a few pieces of scenery i built.

I cut up a cd jewel case into squares, and the rest of that is gel super-glue and paint. A bit of super-glue accelerant aided in forming it just how I wanted it; I freehanded the glyphs with superglue basically.

Not too shabby, though i'm not fond of the idea in general. How does an ork know how to pilot a tau ship? Shouldn't that be advanced tech or something? Why would an ork take a tau ship? It makes no sense to me. The photos are a tad bleh as well, though i have drank a lot of vodka tonight...that might be it, though i like to think otherwise. Strange idea though.

Point is he doesn't need to know how to pilot a Tau ship, notice its not a grav. Its a hunk of metal that happens to be a broken down hammerhead they found and the Meks fixed it and made it betta'.

As for image quality, I stated that at the beginning it was cellphone camera, not much I can do there.

The only ork conversion I don't agree with, though still find awesome, is those looted carnifexes people have pictures of floating around the web.

yeah, and i built kanrail the custom deffdread in my gallery and am working on the design / gathering materials for his custom stompa. complete with penis cannon!

i approve of this orky goodness, I have to loot a vehicle some time!

Looting is so much fun simply because of the amount of freedom you have with it.
