so, i had thread here a few months back. Dark Angels. Got bored. So i decided to start a new army, something that i can make personal and something that isn't power armour. ORKS!!

I'll start off with the basics, and then gradually get into some mega conversions.

Before i digress, pictures to keep you all happy. Maybe. lol

BOYZ

NOBZ - kitbashed - ish

BIG SHOOTA BOYZ - actually love these kits

and my first warbuggy conversion (2 more to come!)

and then the driver

I'm not a 100% happy with the warbuggy, it still needs work. i need to buy some guitar wire, thicker sheets of plain plasticard and plasticard rod for rivets etc. Plus some of the lines are too straight. I'm happy with it as a good first try though..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5303893.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5303893.page GMT Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5303971.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5303971.page GMT Re:Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog Look forward to seeing more!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5303996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5303996.page GMT Re:Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog
Seems i have some competition Squidbot.... lol

just a small update today

warbuggy chassis number two

took the blower off the top of the engine so it makes it a little bit more individual. i'm probably going to make my own rocker cover out of plasticard or something.

the idea for this one is that it's going to be some sort of 2 seater, with the passenger being the gunner and the driver i want to model shifting gear - to add a bit more character to the whole thing. might make it into a weird orky DeLorean lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5307748.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5307748.page GMT Re:Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog
The first warbuggy, rivet-ed and panel-ed up.

the beginnings of the second one, complete with the start of the grot gunner

My nob warbiker painboy, still deciding on the right head..

... and the start of the 'Doc's Ambu-bike'...

...and of course his grot orderly, complete with his own grot 'urty syringe

so this is last nights work, inspired by watching Lost Boys, such an amazing soundtrack!... but yeah before i go on about 80's films..

the basic shape of the front of the 2nd buggy is done, just need to continue finishing the back and the cockpit to house the driver

the driver. minus gearstick

the 97% finished Ambu-bike. with spare orky bits and syringes. Plus a ambulance light on the top lol. i say 97% because i might do something else to it, not sure yet though.

enjoy!

P.S. Try taking ur pics in front of a white background like paper or something, makes the pics a lot cooler and cleaner. Then you can do close-ups, epic poses and what nots.

Thanks for the kind words Novelist, i don't think i'll go into complete scratch building... yet

not until i'm confident enough. just small -ish conversions for now, till iknow what im doing and am not such a newb!

i will try that next time, i do need a piece of white card that'll stay upright as paper just collapses and i go mad trying to make it stay upright!

a small update, sort of need some advice.

did a front wheel cover for the painboy bike to make it a bit more individual, but i think the plasticard im using is too thick, do you guys agree or think it doesn't look too clunky?

Orkses don't have any issues with clunky....

Once there's some rivets on there it'll be good to go....

thats a fair point monkeytroll, i think some teeth might help to break up the edges. tomorrow i'll get some thinner plasticard for that and post up some progress. hopefully my painboy head will arrive too!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5364498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5364498.page GMT Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog MT said; rivet them boxes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5364690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5364690.page GMT Re:Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog
but on a good note, i tried salt dipping for some mad, albeit different poses for my slugga and choppa boys! (needed to find a use for all those spare bits!)

group shot

close ups

as you can see, some worked out better than others, not too bad though, just a bit of gs re shaping and they'll be fine. some look like they are doing a diving headbutt, but i like it lol.

enjoy!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5374737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5374737.page GMT Re:Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog
Finally the spellcrow stuff came!

but they sent me a random torso and head on top of what i ordered

not that i'm complaining though..

As you can see the casts are actually very good, the flash is wafer thin, almost non existent and the detail is excellent. I've always been a bit funny with aftermarket warhammer bits, but this really has converted me. Verdict - Spellcrow = easily a new favourite of mine.

Oh yeah, solved the clunky weirdness problem of the ambu - bike. I'm 99.9% satisifed with it, and i'm certain i need to do nothing else to improve it (except paint of course).

Finished Bike

The painboy however, feels like theres something missing, i'm not sure what yet, but something is lacking from the model..

Cheers!

haha you've dropped an absolute cracker there!

Yeah the poses aren't bad for my first go at salt dipping, just need to use more salt next time. That way the models won't get too close the the bottom of the saucepan again!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5389540.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5389540.page GMT Re:Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog
i've had to move recently, which is the reason why i havent posted in a week or so (maybe more)

went a bit mad and bought some forge world bits, so in regards to hobby-ing i'm all over the place with mini projects!

actually got round to trying to finish a warbuggy!! - still needs a few more bits here and there! lol

Dakkajet rockets are an invaluable resource for any project that needs rokkits!

had to buy the warboss on bike and nob bikers, they're just too good!

and his ridiculously big bike

couldn't be bothered to order another grot turret for my battlewagon, so i just made my own. again, needs extras (i.e. rivets)

and finally, the kombi weapons for the nobs. i cut and pasted my own form different bits, mainly so that they can be held with one hand or slung on the back and not look weird

Sorted!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5451217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5451217.page GMT Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5451338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5451338.page GMT Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5466696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5466696.page GMT Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog And the buggies are spot on, subbed!

You definitely NEED to go through with your looted DP ideas 'Stein. Too much win potential

@ Davylove - yeah i do think i have to do it lol, i have like a load of ideas about how it'll look in my head already! deffo need to get that airbrush first, otherwise none of it will get painted hahaha

Again, a rather erratic update. I looked at my kans the other day and thought 'i want more' so i bought some. That, topped with finding years worth of accumulated basing materials meant i got to work on my bases. pretty chuffed with them!

pix innit

old kans

the bases arent finished, but the general layouts im happy with

new kans - think i'm gonna take a few more modelling risks, as dynamic poses look amazing ad are fun to do.

really chuffed with this guy

the buggies have had a bit more work done. the 'smugglers run' looking buggy is finished i reckon, maybe gs rope around the tyres or something. the other one has been changed about as i wasn't too happy with it. it sort of looked cheap

and finally aside from swapping bits around to make my kans look a bit more individual, i needed something else. so i started making my own rokkit launchers

i present the (not completed) the tommy-rokkit. - for some reason the bit where in The Mask, when the bad guy has the mask on and fires bullets out of his mouth - inspired me to make this lol. random i know

anyways enjoy!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5485145.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508721/5485145.page GMT Re:Waaaagh Rothstein - My Newbie ork blog
