Da Waaugh Boss

Then I got thinking (while at the sink doing the washing up) "These Nobz and Warboss figures are all very well - but I'm using those as elite infantry and HQ stands, what am I going to do for a CinC?  The Waugh Boss himself?"

I need a big figure, Imperial Xenobiologists all agree that Orks increase in height and muscle mass as they improve their standing in the Clan.  So the CinC is going to be the biggest and baddest...

I got it!  An Ogryn figure - 'ere we go!'   Bigger shoulder pads, bigger gun, heavy brow, ears(?), and a steel lower jaw - so far.  Can I fit more on?

Gunwagonz - score!

So, I'm rummaging around in the boxes under my desk looking for some gap-filler for basing, when I knock a box over and hear a distictly plastic-y sprues noise.  "Whats that?" I thinks to myself, opening the box.
Woo-hoo! A number of Ork Gun Wagons from the old Titan Legions box I've had sitting in the garage for years.  Must have brought them in one night and forgotten about them!  Perfect timing for the new project!

So here we go - I've already put one together and primed it, and this second one is the first of the mods.  They're just not quite lumpy enough as they stand.

So I've added plates, some extra fuel tanks and shortened the gun barrel.

I think the next one will have a change to the roller thingy.  Something toothy...

Kustomizin Warwagonz

Made a few small changes to the warwagons, just so they look more hand-crafted by the Mekboy, instead of coming off a factory production line.

The photo seems to be bringing out more of the brown ink wash than you usually see.  The finished versions don't really look that bronzed.

Deathskullz

Orkses!

First strip of 6 boyz pretty much complete (maybe a brown wash required?) for my first colour trials.  I'm happy with how they turned out...

Gone with the GW 'Deathskullz' flavour for these boys.  Pretty traditional Orks with a taste for the lucky colour blue.

Coming soon... the prototype paint job for the Boyz' battlewagonz...

Achievement! Picked up a paint brush!

Yowza! Actually managed to put a bit of paint on ...

Orks!

eBay has provided a small amount of Orks to provide another challenge for my Desert Squats, who just want to get on with peacefully strip-mining the resource rich Procyon IV.

Just trying to settle on the colour scheme for the Ork Boyz and their battlewagons. I'm thinking Deathskullz, making blue a bit of a feature colour on them (its a lucky colour for Orks).

This is all part of my plans for solo gaming Future War Commander on a 2 ft square desert scenery board.
