Here's my problem: mega armor.

I don't know how I want to make it.

I've been looking at conversions online, and what I've seen is either plasticard, which is beyond my grasp at the moment, too boxy for my taste, or terminator armor, and I don't want to use those.

I'm hoping you dandy folks can post either ides for converting mega armor, or pictures showing what you've made and what parts you used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6587609.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6587609.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6587615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6587615.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6587753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6587753.page GMT Id be interested in some info on this to as a fellow ork player]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6588821.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6588821.page GMT

But I recommend Kromlechs clanking destroyers or keeping an eye out for the metals on eBay. A good conversion usually won't be cheaper than kromlech or watching the secondhand market, especially since AoBR is not plentiful with trash termites and nobs everywhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6588832.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6588832.page GMT
I'll be honest, the conversions themselves are kind of sloppy and I want to re-set the faces so that they're not so obviously floating in the middle of nothing.. But it -is- pretty workable, and it's way beefier than termy armor. Unfortunately I can't get any pics up, as I'm pretty low tech and have no cameras / webcams which work with my computer, and even my phone is going on ten years old. >_>

EDIT: as the poster above me said, the Kromlech Juggernauts are also a great option. Way bigger, better looking, and even cheaper than GW's mega-nobz. Personally my MANZ consist of three of those, four converted kanz, and I'm working on a converting a marine dread for the boss.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6588971.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6588971.page GMT AoBR and adding Plasticard is to big a bulky like you have said.

Honestly I would either try to scratch build them with Plasticard or Kromlech is a good idea. Or just wait for Orks later on this year. I am pretty sure we will be seeing Mega Armored Orks in the near future.

I mostly used Plasticard, but there are some actually GW parts in there. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6592204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582415/6592204.page GMT
