The_Chaplain Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hello Boyz! There has been some discussion in my area's local gaming circle about starting up a crusade league when "certain global events" ease up-- and seeing as how my current hobby projects gravitate towards the greenskinned variety, I have pledged to be the designated ork player for the league (one army per person, and trying to avoid repeat armies in this league). But what's a WAAAGGHH without a warboss? Which got me thinking, why not convert a custom warboss specifically for this campaign? So, here are his humble beginnings: I'll be sure to catalog further progress on this model and any others I convert for the crusade (have a mind to throw together a Goff Rokker as well since its a narrative play dataslate), as well as how the army performs *eventually* in the league.

MithrilForge Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Alright!, this should be a fun watch. I'm still new back to Orkyness so what box etc is that figure from?... ee don't look Normal Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Alright!, this should be a fun watch. I'm still new back to Orkyness so what box etc is that figure from?... ee don't look Normal Mithril Thats a great question. So the torso with attached head and bicep parts of the arms are actually from a forgeworld ork tank (the classic "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!" Type deal). It had legs originally- but they ended at the shins-- so I cut them off and replaced them with legs from a company called For Fun Miniatures. The power klaw is from Artel W miniatures' ork mekboy model as it was a leftover option from the kit. There will probably be parts and doodads from at least 2 other non gw companies going into this conversion, haha. toaae and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hey Chappy, how's the ork surgery coming along...??!! Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Hey Chappy, how's the ork surgery coming along...??!! Mithril Truth be told-- I've been giving my hands a bit of a rest this week (carpal tunnel and mini painting/building/converting are not the best of friends sometimes)-- BUT, I have instead been working on reorganizing/tidying up my designated hobby area (the "office" in the apartment my wife and I share which I affectionately refer to as the troll hole). I now have 2 desk/work stations that I can alternate between or in the future-- have a friend over to work on stuff in the same space and hangout once this stupid "global unpleasantness" eases up. Don't have enough room for a gaming table in here without becoming packed in like sardines-- but hey, maybe in the future (and with an actual house). That said, I've been searching for a few bits to round off the warboss conversion online which I'm about to order- and as soon as they arrive I'm going to try and knock out that conversion as well as starting on the Goff Rokker!

The_Chaplain Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Still waiting on parts for the warboss, but figured I'd share a pic of the WIP "Goff Rokker" Debating whether to give him a mohawk-- or a hat ala Lemmy from Motorhead. Need to find some sort of backpack with speakers/amps/etc. if one exists as well Body/head/arms from Hardcore Miniatures' Biker boss on foot Devil horns hand from For Fun Miniatures Guitar from the Noise Marine model from a few years ago guitar gun-- pistol in the Forgeworld Nob Bikers kit! (probably gonna give it a belt feed leading to the backpack because More Dakka!)

Magos Takatus Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 That is inspired. Love it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akylas Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) He looks awesome. I'd vote Slash from Guns N' Rose's hat or Lemmy out of the choices given. A lad that cool needs a hat to mark him out even more from the other boys. B) Edited August 14, 2020 by Akylas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Well I gotta say (pun intended) He Rocks...

Brother Casman Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I'd have to go with a hat, too, if it were up to me! He's a great Goff Rocker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01RTB01 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The collection is beyond impressive. Have to say I'm jealous of the kill krusha. One FW tank for orks I'd love to get hold of. Look forward to seeing your progress with your boss :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
