Wraagh! The Green tide approaches.

[Eberious]

Hello all, decided to start an Ork army with the new Ghazghkull model pushing me just over that line. Looking forward to the conversion opportunities, kit bashing and fun that this should bring. I know this is mainly PA forum but this is where I am and wanted to share with everyone here. 

 

I've got a stack of boxes ready to go. But I'll start with the beast himself. Not overly happy with the new style claw so made it more of a classic looking ork claw. 

 

 

 

 

Also the gun is almost marine in its uniform design, so mixed it up a little.

 

 

 

Likely stick some broken shards of metal bolted on but still wip.

 

 

 

Start on the base, idea is to have him standing on a shattered Imperial Aquila. 

 

 

Will have left overs to use on other bases

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Captain Antargo]

Damn, good idea with the base, best of luck with your modeling mate!

[Eberious]

Thanks both.

 

@MetalMammoth, lol,  and haven't given the boots to much thought yet. I don't mind the claws but we'll see what happens when I get to it shortly. 

 

 

Backed the Aquilla with some cork to give it some depth. Then broke it up. 

 

 

 

 

 

Will be filling in the gaps with the usual battle field rubble and such this afternoon. 

 

 

[PowerHungryMonkey]

Great work on the base. Gonna make the Big Mean Green Machine even bigger

[Eberious]

Thanks and yup. :)

 

Base done. 

 

 

 

 

 

[Eberious]

Not being overly happy with the current Ghazghkull head, being the glaringly obvious small head. I decided to use his old metal head I had kicking around. Attached to the neck part and gave him a bigger collar... much better. Also looks like Ghazghkull, which helps. 

 

 

 

 

 

Not hating on Ultras here, but with the Goffs paint scheme a blue will stand out fairly good. Was going to a Black Templar as I have plenty of bits. But felt it would blend into the rest of the model to much.

Nice work on Ghaz! THe changes to the claw and gun look great as well as the headswap. The base is fantastic. And I am digging that standard.

 

You are certainly going above and beyond with the beast himself.

[Eberious]

Thanks.

 

Decided to give him some extra ammo. Moved stuff around to make way for a ammo drum that will feed the main gun. Supports are intended to be like a clamp, when the ammo is spent, hit the lever at the bottom of his power plant and it drops the drum ready to slam in a new one. Is the thought process behind it anyways.

Nice addition! Giving me some Vulcan Raven vibes!

[Eberious]

Finished modelling Ghaz. You know that feeling when you finish a fun model but didn't want to end.... oh well there is a 2nd large warboss planned using the Orruk megaboss from AOS. 

 

 

 

 

Gun feed, 

 

 

 

Klaw

 

 

 

 

The ammo feed belt slipped out. The model is blu tacked together currently, definitely a model to paint in sections. .

Zog me itz butiful...

 

Seriously though, that conversion is fabulous-- great job! Hope you similarly convert that orruk warboss (and any other orky projects you have planned)

[Lexington]

Okay, I am, like, excessively impressed, here.

[War Angel]

Damn that’s a big ork

[Hfran Morkai]

E's redy for krumpin'

[PowerHungryMonkey]

Ghaz has come out great! Love the additions, especially the checks on the claw. Hanging to see it painted

[Eberious]

Thanks, going to base what I have made then attempt painting Ghaz soon. 

 

For now though I made these guys for fun, and counts as. ' Ghazghkull's Brute boyz ' Had them made for a while now but just hadn't based them until last night. Now that I had a theme to follow.

 

Da Choppa

 

 

 

 

Buzz-kil

 

 

 

Klaws

 

 

Oi, come 'ere you lot. shakes fist at naughty orks playing on his grass. yeah, I don't know either.

 

 

  

 

 

Da-kka

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bases

 

Before I got Ghaz I had made the brutes and though they were big.

 

 

5 nobz and 20 odd boyz to base now. .....  

[Ilgoth]

Like it all. Cant wait to see it painted.

[Eberious]

First of many Mega nobz. For some reason GW only do open left hands on SM? so a quick change later and I have a right hand. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Mega Nob is well-posed. The dismembered Ultramarine at his feet, and the disembodied arm in his klaw, are good touches.

[Nexus17]

This is all great but I love what you've done with Ghaz in particular.

 

I'm not a big fan of the stock head - I too think the previous incarnation is much better, even with his increased stature.

 

The claw is awesome too, much more in keeping with the usual Ork style, just a whole lot bigger.

 

My Ghaz is still sat on the sprue waiting for some other projects to finish first but I think I might pinch some ideas from you when I'm building mine!

[Eberious]

Thanks both,

 

@nexus17, free free to pinch, loot anything you like. :) 

[PowerHungryMonkey]

Dude, the Nob and those 'Ard Boyz look excellent. This is going to be a very very very cool looking army

[Marius Perdo]

Great stuff, very impressive.

[Thousand Eyes]

Loving your work on these, going to be great with some paint on it.

 

What are your plans to expand your Waaagh?

[Eberious]

Thanks all. 

 

@Thousand Eyes, I have a fair bit at the moment to get through, but I have no real idea to be fair. Going Goffs, so lots of feet. I don't get to play often so it's very much about the hobby aspect.
