A 'uuuuuge warboss to lead my army, equal in stature to a Dreadnought. Made from a Warmachine Hordes Dire Troll Mauler as a base, with a lot of sculpting and additional work!
"'Datz not a gun!
Dis iz a gun!" - the mentality behind this Looted Wagon, the chassis of which I picked up in a trade and tinkered with a bit.
In the darkness of the night and the shadows of the day, the Sneekboss stalks his prey with unerring precision and surprise.
The Big Mek himself, the masterful architect of most of my army's warmachines, Booma weilds his authority with a (literally) iron fist and a massive hammer. Not just a model, but amazing art by Zsoulless from The Waaagh as well!
A lit-up Warphead or Weirdboy who will act as one of my HQs for my army, and one of the characters detailed in my army's background story.
My Bikerboss and Wazdakka equivalent, Zanzag Barga, and his monstrous warbike.
A large ork gargant inspired by the art of Mark Gibbons. A scratch-built piece from sheet styrene, cardboard, and bitz, it sits on a diorama base where it is running down the remnants of an Imperial Guard heavy weapons team. Includes LED light-up eyes. One of my larger projects!
My very first scratchbuild, and actually my first ork model! I started big. Mostly scratchbuilt parts with a bit of kitbashing. Also my first trial with incorporating LEDs into miniatures.
A gigantic, treaded, and motorized Shokk Attack Gun that serves as Big Mek Booma's personal heavy support platform.
Killa Kanz made from the new Games Workshop plastics... with the obligatory light-up features.
Killa Kanz on wheels with a talent for demolishing hard targets with wrecking balls and high explosives.
A pair of forgeworld squiggoths with built-in MP3 player and speakers to bring the battle music to the games! Nothing says 'squiggoth' like a model that actually roars. This project is also my first attempt at using Youtube to video my work in progress.
Loads of ork bikers to help fill out my army's speedy ranks. No two bikes are the same!
Lootas under the command of Big Mek Booma, famed for their firepower and ability to loot just about anything.
Deff from da sky! When it absolutely, positively has to get a choppa to da 'ead , these ladz are the ones for the job.
A 20-strong mob of Voodoo-themed shoota boyz who serve as Wurrzag's bodyguard.
These Black Orcs have been staring at me from their sprues, begging to be made into 'Ard boyz to join the ranks of my 40k army. Who am I to deny them their wish?
A marine furioso-themed dreadnought that has been taken over by a bunch of ambitious snotlings! A variety of parts on this model, both scratchbuilt, 40k, and even from Warmachines!
A tracked, treaded and lit Wartrukk based on the new Ork Trukk kit, for when you absolutely, positively have to get there and put a choppa in someone's face.
A squad of three heavy weapons teams and a nob made as a gift for my recipient over at The Waaagh's Summer Sekret Santa to help in a deathskull army. Built to completion, then sent away as a gift! Created for the previous edition of the Ork Codex, when lootas were able to take heavy weapons teams from the Imperial Guard.
It's a Skullhamma! It's a looted Baneblade! It's a looted Hellhammer! It's... big!
The Ork strategem in Apocalypse involving asteroids hurtling down from the heavens becomes much more entertaining when you have a marker to put on the table.
A bunch of vehicular-mounted boyz, themed around a 'scrapheap' appearance and with a fair amount of conversions in the squad. Also the origin of my favorite kind of squig, the 'Turbosquig'.
An ork Guntrukk that has been bashed together out of the primary components of a rhino. This vehicle features LED light-up eyes on the front, as well as removable weaponry in the form of a Zzap gun and Rokkit Launcha. Project has since been sold since completion.
One of the first models I ever made for my ork army! He's got a huge converted power klaw, and a mean attitude, not to mention a humorous base! Apologies that this project is not so much of a W.I.P. log as a recap, but I thought it was for the best.
