Space Ork Conversions & Mage Duel (trying my hand at lightning and a fireball)

[Mr Rowe]

Cheers for the support Friar. Really appriciate it.
Good luck with the battle damage lookin forward to the update.
Hard Cover. Sounds good but I dont really understand the
rrrrrrr
rrrbrrr
rrbtbrr
rbtttbr
rbtbrrr
rrbrrrr
any chance you could explain in more detail or elaborate for me? Cheers

 

[Hard Cover]

I was just diagramming it out. I dunno why I did that this morning must have been the sleep dep.

Think of it like a grid. where the letters represent colors. I'm honestly not even sure why it was appropriate now.

 

[Friar]

Well here is the first one of my Orks finished he's just waiting on a base and touch ups. So what does everyone think?

Hard Cover: Thanks for the tip, got things working alright just not good enough for a figure but I'll be practicing on some vehicles soon enough.

Thanks for all C&C!

 

[Mr Rowe]

Looks amazing! can wait to see it on a base. Love the armour, skin the checks and the weathering on his gun. Only things I'd say would be I cant see if you've painted his eye or not (could just be angle or photo) and the shading on his teeth, maybe a bit more low lighting in the gaps.

 

[Mr Rowe]

Hay Hard Cover just so I understand the rrrrrr is just red followed by a coat of rrrbrrr so thats 5 red to 1 badab black etc? sorry I keep asking just want to be clear. Cheers

 

[Friar]

Mr. Rowe: yeah the eye is painted this bugger is squinting made it an absolute pain to paint but it's a tiny sliver. I think what hard cover was trying to show was that you would put down say a ruff diamond shape (just for example) in badab black then a loose smaller shape inside of the black one with tin bitz. If I'm not mistaken the red is just representing the base color.

 

[Mr Rowe]

And the penny drops. Cheers m8

It's been a bit but here are some updates. Been working on scratch building 2 Killa Kanz and got the cybork arm rebuilt on my boss. it's hard to make out all the fiddly bits without any paint on them but hopefully you can all get an idea of whats going on with them.

First up the war boss

And the start of the 2 Killa Kanz

C&C Welcome

 

[SkelettetS]

looking good! now, go ahead and put some paint on that boss!
please tell me theres going to be a "zupaman" logo on that squigs cape?

 

[Friar]

Made some progress on the killa kan now its just ccw arm and a grotzuka and then rivets (just waiting on a rotary punch in the post).

Skele: he'll be getting paint soon just need to tap out a few little details and some rivets, and yes squigy there will definatly be gettin a zuper Z

 

[cheelfy]

I really the killa and the war boss is very good too.

 

[SkelettetS]

yeah nice "pose", the kan look exakly so flexible as it should

 

[Friar]

Finished up the close combat arm ended up a touch bigger then I originally planned but orks like to crump stuff so it should work. Tell me what you think.

 

[Friar]

Finished the Grot-zooka now on to a round of rivets and this Kan will be done.

 

[Friar]

Killa Kan is done only problem is it's a bit on the huge side for a kan. Well here's a Barry shot what size do you spose this has become, Def Dread, mega. or just a mega killa kan. Either way for my first scratch build I'm happy. So unless theres any thing that you guys see the next time you see it will be painted.

Here's the eye candy

C&C welcome
Thanks

 

[cheelfy]

Very good, I don't think it matters if it is very big cause it's an ork machine.

 

[Friar]

Yeah Cheelfy best part bout orks is that lovely ramshackledness, I just can't get over when I build an arm the same size as the kanz cc arm it looks weedy as crap, the buzzsaw looks like it would have a tuff time triming my hedges much less krumpin space marines.

 

[eyewantyourskull]

Really cool! Can't wait to see them painted.
