The Yellow team

As I said in the previous post I will be doing 4 GoMo mobs. The Grots (Green) Morkas (Yellow) Gorkas(Red and with bikes) and Diggas (Blue) If I do a fifth team it will be muties and they will be orange I guess.

So here are the few guys Ive started.

The Nob. Grotbasha the 2nd (The first one died damn low roll on the recovery chart)

Next up a couple of Spannas and a boy

Ive had a few boy get arm replacements. rather than modelling them permanently I decided to magnatise them so they can also be used as normal boys in later games.

Normal

With power claw

Cutta Arm

With Cutta.

I will do a range of mods as I also have a yoof with a shoota arm.

I hope to have these guys finished in a few days.

The Grot Mob

As I'm back at work now I decided to work on the mobs. So I wont get any paint on the Cuttas till I get back home.

Im going for the pirate theme for the Grots to fit in with the boats. I will do up about 20ish Grots including 5 snots as I seem to go through them pretty quick. I will probably just leave them fairly generic with minimal mods. I think I will build a card for each grot with all his stat much like warmachine.

So here is the crew so far.

The Captain. I think I'll call him Cpt Squid Beard but then I'd have to sculpt a beard (As you can see my sculting isnt that good) So I will leave him unnammed at the moment.

Im thinking of also giving him a Squig Parrot.

Next up is the Banna Wava. He'll get the same treatment as the Capt.

Here are a few of the crew. They will also get a bit more pirate stuff sculpted to them.

And a few Snots. These were like 2nd edition metals. Ive replaced the heads but need to do a bit of work to blend them in.

I should have them done in a day or two and then to get paint on them. I want to do a total of 4 mobs so they will be red yellow blue and green. The Grots will be Kahki with red trim so they are basically my Green team. The current ork mob are yellow. Im trying to do the paint jobs quickly so they will mostly be painted with washes.

Ork Trakk

So this was origanilly going to be my trukk and I had converted a Kopta to be a trakk. But after a bit of research I realised that most people were under a misunderstanding like myself that a trak was a small vehicle that had room only for a gunner. In the rulez it states that a trak weighs more than a trukk and therefore can only move 5 inches when thrusting. The only way this would make sense is if the trakk was the size of a trukk but with catapillar treads instead of wheeels hence the weigh increase.

If they ever do a second edition I hope this gets cleared up. So anyway here is a WIP of the track. It needs the front end finished and the gunners location fixed and maybe a few extra bits like fuel tanks then the jobs a guddin.

Im not a mechanic and dont know mych about engines but hopefully this one will look the goods.

Needs some pipes coming out of it tho.

The engine in the trakk. Definitely needs pipes.

I will have full roll cages everywhere I just ran out of tubing. More on order from ebay

A comparison shot of the Trakk and Big Lugga. As you can see the Lugga got away from me.

The trak is actually about an inch longer in the tray than the GW trukk.

So this will do for a few days. Hopefully after the weekend I will have Paint on them and they will be finished so I can do up a few more bikes and work on a couple of smaller buggies.

Big Lugga build nearly finished

Just few small things to add to this and Im done. A figure head (I might wait till I have a game and see if I capture and ork or something). Stearing wheel and port holes and some rope and nettings. I also want trophies hanging of it but will do that after painting. The color scheme for this one will be like my khador minis. I like the idea of cam green with red stars.

Anyway here tis for now.

As you will probably guess this this is pretty big. Much bigger than the trak Im building. I can probably use it as a trukk if I needed a spare one. I intend to build 4 mobs in total.

The other side. You may not make it out but there are two holes in the front for rope to attach to the front skids for steering.

Old Kopta blades for the egine. I was going to make a working motor but as the body is foam I decided a hot motor sitting inside foam might be a very bad idea.

A pick of the poop deck. Just needs a steering wheel and its done. Also you can see the door leading to the engine room.

So my next post for this guy will be in a few days maybe a week when I hope to have paint on it.

GorkaMorka update

Here is a quick update of the Grot Big Lugga. Most of the plating is done then all the pretty stuff will be left to do. Im going to use a set of skids for this one witha giant fan out the back for propulsion.

50pts painted now to basing

Still not sure about the bases for this army. I want an urban base theme but how to do it alludes me atm.

Anyway I have painted a full 50pts now. The winter gaurd need some prettying up, like faces finished but they are good enough to take to a tourney now. I will do alittle more work on them as time permits. Ive also done a quick paint job on torch (Not my torch I will build a heavily modded version if he palys well) Also a couple of mechanics are near done as well. Once again a few small details to finish but good enough for now.

Winter gaurd with Yoseph. I left a few at home but a unit of 10 with command are done.

The worst thing about digital cameras is they show up mistakes I cant see with my own eyes. I will do alittle more work on the faces tho.

My version of torch. Needs some battle damage and more highlifhgts and shading but he willdo the job for now.

I hope to do some basing this week so stay tuned.

I love Man O Wars

Still cant get over how good these guys are. I was nearly not going to buy the battle box cause I thought they were pox. I now have all 3 types and am working on getting all the solos as well.

Anyway another quick update

Forgot the pic. Here tis.

Left the shoulder pads at home so they will get done next trip out here.
