Warsmith Uveron Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Iam _Happy_ with the overall look. There just are parts I dont love. Before I left for work tonight I removed the Spear head and added a Dread Saw from the Deff Dread kit to make that part of the model look more 40k than fantasy. Next up when I get home tonight, will be hitting up the belly plate. The glyph is going and going to try and smooth the whole lump down to something I can freehand paint on. Also look forward to seeing your looted versions. The base kit is easy to find, I know alot of AOS players have them spare.

Warsmith Uveron Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 So I spent another night working on the Boss and was able to got him finished! First up I shaved the belly plate down, (and the photo shows the spear head replacement I talked about on the last post) I then filled the space with greenstuff and replaced the Glyph on the belly and it looks alot better now, I also touched up the eyes on the head as they were slightly damaged when attaching the helmet, I also added a extra tub of ammo to the Kustom Shooter, A to make the gun look bigger, and B to hide some damage to the hand that was caused when removing the Hammer and smoothing out the vambrace. So all that said, may I introduce, Boss Morfang Skragga, Da Witness of Gork. MithrilForge, Kierdale and toaae 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toaae Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 That's a very good conversion. I'm always so relunctant to see Ogres/Ogryns made into Orks, because they're too fat and too upright, but I think you've really made this model work. Great job!

Ogres are fat I had to filedown that belly alot. That said for the Boss i never have had issues with the Upright stance as it kinda is a power stance. Becuse of that Ive been using Ogers since 3rd edd (though the old metal ones were a pain to convert). toaae 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Uveron Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Well this week has been a bit anti-climatic after the build of the warboss, but its all about getting the painting of all the lads I need to be painted for my combat patrol. Oh and working on rebasing them as well. all I can say is batch painting ~20 models is... a slow progress. toaae and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Ugh 60 bases...that’s a lot to paint of one thing !! , Da Boss is looking right Proppa with a lick o paint on him . Looking forward to seeing him and the boyz finished, did you spray base them with Tamiya grey or GW grey?...

Warsmith Uveron Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 I use a cheap auto spray from walmart. It does the job on this collection. And yeah 60 is alot of one thing but its going to be done with big brushes and low accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Forgive me if it sounds rude but the statement - “ but its going to be done with big brushes and low accuracy.“ that Sounds like something trump would say if he was a model painter ...

MithrilForge Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Oh I didn’t mean it that way, I love your stuff and it’s well painted, your stompa is the best one I’ve ever seen so please don’t take that statement as a negative On your painting and modeling skill. The wording of your statement just sounded funny... Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Uveron Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 So its been a month... the batch Painting is still in process! Almost done with base coats on 20boys + 5 Tankbustres + Warboss. But last week I sold off my BA collection and the first round of new product started to arive, so its back to the Workshop in building some new transports and support units for the lads. First up is a Battle Wagon. Wanted to build a Wagon that looked really up armoured so I can run the fortress kustom job on it. Also wanted to keep the model vaguely open topped so I can run it as a standard wagon with that ability. So I decided to build the Wagon off a Chimeria core. After a bit of playing around with the standard Wagon it, I ended up with this. I then added more armour plates to the sides building the two parts of the kit closer together before finaly starting to add a whole pile of guns. Aiming for an Cannon and 4 Bigshooters. Eventualy I will get my 'Deffroller' bits in (Its not going to be a Deffroller got other plans) and it will sit under the main cab, and on that assembly some stickbomb launchers will be mounted. In addtion to the Deffroller, I also may change the smaller turret out for a Ork with a gun standing out of a hatch. Additionally I want to add another gun mounting at the back to make it look like the 'Tail Gunner' can move his Big shooter depending where the fight is. Finaly I started working on my first 'new' ork buggy the BoomDakka Snazwagon. Now these buggys when they first came out were a reason my enthusiasm for orks died. they were not get for kustom buggys and it was going to be hard to convert them from my old stuff. That said I love Ork Speedfreaks so it was just a matter of time. Anyway I decided my Buggy was going to be special, so I replaced the back gunner, and arm working on replacing the armoured roof for a full roll cage (So details in the cab can still be see) Kierdale and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Awesome work here, the Wagon is looking superb and i cannot wait to see what magic happens on that front section the BoomDakka Snazzwagon is cool (I had a plan to remove the roof as well when I get one, so i'm glad it looks doable) ... was there much to be done or was it simply a case of not putting the roof on ?? glad to hear your ploughing through that huge amount of Batch painting Cheers, Mithril Warsmith Uveron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it is just that... dont put the roof on, I plan on finding something to re-build the rollcage, but my first few experiments have not been successful.

Oh Cool Glad it's that simple... so much detail inside it's a shame not to show it !! as to the conversion...Plasticard tubing perhaps , what idea did you have for the rollcage upgrade?!?...

Warsmith Uveron Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 I finished getting the base coat on all my Ork Boys and other than rebaseing them they are all battle ready (I boxed them up before I remembered to take a photo). My current aim is to get all my orks to battle ready so I can play some games with a fully painted army. I then can go back and bring them models to a finished level over the next year. But all that will wait till the end of this month, September is going to be focused on titanicus for me. That said, I do want to finish the boss so started working on him last night and building up the layers. toaae, MithrilForge, Kierdale and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Oh yeah!, this guy is right propa Huge !! , he looks awesome already with just base coats !!!

Warsmith Uveron Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Awesome work here, the Wagon is looking superb and i cannot wait to see what magic happens on that front section Well the day is here, my finally set of orders got in an hour ago, and although I have promised myself that this month is to focus on AT, due to coming up to an event I plan on attending... That said I wanted to 'finish' this conversion, so my glue and clippers came out and I attached the part I wanted to use as a Deathroller. The model still needs green stuffing, and extra bits. But I have a second wagon and other project I plan on building and I want to get them built before adding any more bits to this waggon as It has the minimum of bits it needs now. Now with all that said, this is now installed in the undercarriage of the cab of the Waggon, now henceforth known as " Battle Dozer" yeah this conversion was kinda simple just using the rockgrinder dozer blade. I also then raided my bits box to build a set of hydraulics and structure to hold the dozer in place, though detailed in a way that kinda indicates that the Orks can move the blade around when needed. Anyway have the photo dump! Magos Takatus and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 That's a pretty cool idea there, easy too (as far as sourcing parts etc) I get a tattooine vibe from it (in a good way) like what would happen if some orks got hold of some jawa vehicle Thanks for sharing, Cheers, Mithril Warsmith Uveron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Uveron Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Thanks Mithril and Sargent Tiberius! That said over on my thread in the forge a good bit of criticism was pointed at the model. So I sat down and worked on rebuilding the undercarriage. It now looks less like it will tip over all the time. I also as all my bits were out started work on my 2nd wagon. its very much in the initial stages, and going to leave it be for a few weeks as I work out how I'm going to tie these two parts together (working on the area labeled with the red circle).. I need to add a fair amount of armour and gubins to tie the two assemblies together. I have a feeling a pile of plasticard is going to be used, Though Iam not opposed to the open gun deck at the back. I do need to find space to install a lobber and 4 big shooters. so something in that gap will be good!

Warsmith Uveron Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 DA BOSS IS COMPLETE!! It's taken me some time to get him done, but he is finally finished.
