The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Trukkboy with all the trimmings

I finished one more guy. He's got one mean pizza slicer!

 

Strength in numbers

Another Trukkboy joins the mob.

 

Starting to run out of ideas! I need some more helmeted orks to offset the non-helmeted ones I've made, so those'll be next. For some reason, I'm not really fond of ork heads with hair, although I'm wondering if an ork with a mohawk wouldn't fit with my overall theme.

Turbo’s all done.

 

I love this guy, and I think he turned out great. I may touch some things up here and there, depending on public opinion and if anything comes to mind, but he's full of character.

Sorry about the small size of the images, the camera I'm using now doesn't have much of a resolution to speak of - I hope that it's still clear enough to make out, though.

Turbosquig: Now available in black

And primed.

 

Birth of the Turbosquig!

I couldn't help myself.

 

The putty under the wheels is just temporary to stick it to the base, as I'll paint them separately. I think I'm going to make the squig purple?

The greenstuff on the body is where cables enter into the skin - they are linked to the engine in the back, taken from a choppa.

A fever! Prescription: Burna

I tried to make this burna boy unit look like it had just finished burning the crap out of something and the ork was taking a smoke break - I tried to make his clothes and body in general look scorched and covered in ash. Paint's a bit meh. Tried some stuff on it I think didn't work - he looks fine on the tabletop, though, but I may strip him down and repaint at some future time.

'Ere we go:

 

Gonna get back to making more boyz!

Slash and Burn

I started working on my next entry for the squad. He's the burna boy for my Trukk Boy squad. My idea for him would be to have the flamethrower leaning over his shoulder, with his mask pushed up, and smoking, just a casual ork look. I assembled it and I like it a lot, but the legs are posing me a problem.

There are two versions of the legs below. The first one is with the normal ork 'hunch' to the legs, with the forward 'on the move' look. The second is my attempt to try and straighten his spine out a bit, to make him look more casual and relaxed. I want to know which one you guys like the most before I finish layering details onto em.

 

And my attempt at straightening (unfinished, but rough pose pics):

 

Even more Trukkboyz

Alright, well. It got bitterly cold here, which basically ruined my motivation to go outside for anything other than coffee today. I ended up taking pictures inside, but they came out a little washed out, so maybe if things get warmer later on in the day I'll try and adventure back out and grab some better shots - I'll definitely get some better ones of the new one, for sure.

Anyway, I think it turned out alright. He doesn't have any kind of shoulder pad - I don't know if he looks too bare or if its okay to leave him like that. I can't think of much to put on him if I do decide it's too bare, too.

 

I think he looks a little bit too clean on the metal bits. I'll probably ink them a little bit to dull them down, and I'm sure an ork glyph or blood on the weapon couldn't hurt.

Elbow grease

I'm just setting this up to dry before I hit bed, but I thought it was a pretty neat idea so I took pictures anyway. My modified 'choppa' for my next ork - they're rough pictures, but who cares?

This mob of Trukk Boyz is going to be 10 strong - 8 with Slugga & Choppas, 1 with a Burna, and 1 Nob with a Choppa and PK. My entire army's going to be themed like these boyz, though. There will be many more squads, but I'm going to do my damndest to have no two orks the same, conversion-wise.

Stop, drop and roll (out)

Managed to get another Trukk Boy made... Trying to individualize them a bit. I like hit shotgun - I made it from one of the normal sluggas. I wish it'd come out a bit cleaner, but I can't complain, as it gets the idea across. My orks love their boomstikks. And goggles, of course. I think I'm getting better at doing them - from a tabletop view, this guy looks great. It was a pretty good day out, too, so I took some of these pictures outside.

The stopsign is a bit rough, but I'm still satisfied with it.

 

I might throw a little barbed wire down on the base or something, make it a little less bland. Or flock, now that I think about it.

I realize the two bases are slightly different colors - I'll fix that.
