So what will you find in this Plog then?
Lots of Orky Gubbinz as I scratch build up vehicles and not too many Gitz as I try to avoid painting endless Boyz.



After a fair few months away from the hobby with a bad case of 'too much real life' I have finally managed to get going again.

I had a Kult of Speed army a few years back which I sold (theres some pics in the Gallery deep at the back of the ork bit), I don't regret that but the things that have stayed with me from that army are;

• how much I enjoyed making all the buggies and guntrukks.
• that I actually painted it all quite quickly.
• how much fun they were to play.

The fact that I can only remember winning one game with them matters not.:laugh:

Since then the guntrukks have disappeared but the opportunities that Apocalypse brings well make up for that.

The plan such as it is, is to try and get a lazy painters 1500pt force together as a core and then let myself do as I please to get be able to play Apoc against wertypop's tank heavy sprawling Guard army.

So here we go with the more interesting bits.

First off a quick sketch of a old epic mini that I have tried to re design in a more up to date style. Probably for use as a looted wagon with Skorcha.

Next up a picture that some of you may have seen in my old thread.

Looted Wagon.

Well its been growing.

And to finish something painted.

Slugga Boy1.

That Looted wagon looks awesome, I think you have managed to make it very orky. :mrgreen:
That boy looks cool too, is his face mask just made out of plasticard or some random bit?

And have some rep+.

 

[dark angel]

That looks awesome Viscount Vash! I like the Ork Boy, the face mask is a really nice touch, and it gives the Xeno a nice unique look. The Wagon, is really, really cool in my opinion and you have done a excellent job making a Rhino into a Orksie Rhino :laugh: But seriously, brilliant work with the converting, enjoy the rep

 

[Viscount Vash]

Bin Lootin

Cheers for the comments guys.

Yup the mask is from scrap plastic card Flerden.

Well I have pretty much done with the Looted Wagon and now im slightly spray happy.

As the undercoat dries and my head clears heres some pictures of it finished.

I might put a glyph pole on it later.


Oh and heres another painted Blitz Boy.

Painted Points = 12

 

[Flerden]

Holy something that wagon looks cool :shok:
I can't wait to see it painted. Especially if you paint it as good as those orks.

 

[Azwraith]

to be honest with you vash.. that tank is a little.. ...... EXTREMELY AWESOME WWOOOOOO +rep

 

[titan136]

sweet looking orks, the work you put into their skin and musculature really shows. love the tikki hut cannon

 

[Blind]

Some great stuff be going on in here, the tanks awesome as is the boyz mask.
Have some rep

 

[Android089]

That looks awsome!

I like the masks they have. Makes me want to put masks on my orks now.

+rep (X10)

 

[Viscount Vash]

Thanks for the comments and Rep folks.

The plan is to put masks on everything apart from maybe grots. (Undecided on that as yet.)

I have set myself a rule on posting in this Log, which is to have at least one finished mini to put up if I want to reply.
(Those that know my previous logs will be happy to see that I should think. :laugh:.)


So to show progress heres where the Wagon is as it stands atm.

The metal work is done and the black is just a basecoat with no highlighting so far.

The plan with the looted wagon is to make it 9 friends for a Apocalypse formation so heres another boomgun wagon sketch loosely based on the old epic Gutrippa.

And of course with my new posting restrictions heres the finished mini.

Boy 3

The wagon looks great. The gun "barrel" feels very orkish and completes the look. Will be great to see the progress and what else your meks will come up with :victory:

I wish I had the discipline to fully paint a mini for every post. Maybe I should do a project log to get my painting kicking again. Thanks for that idea

 

[shaantitus]

Fine work vash. I love the old epic ork wagon names. My personal favorites, the gobsmasha and the bowelburna.
Rep for the very cool army so far.

 

[Viscount Vash]

Ye Gads another Painted Model!

Your on to me Shaantitus,

This is the list of old Orkie Vehicles as far as I can remember without hitting the books and the possibilities I'm considering.

Spleenrippa
Gibletgrinder (Battle Fortress Using Baneblade chassis)
Gutripper (Looted Wagon with Boomgun.)
Gobsmasher (Possible Looted Vindicator variant, for Apocalypse.)
Lungbursta (Possible Looted Vindicator variant for Apocalypse.)
Bowelburna (Looted Wagon with Skorcha.)
Skulhammer (Re-done by GW as BaneBlade thingy.Going for the blend of old with current weapons.)
Bubblechukka
Kannonspeedsta
Magna Kannon (Flakwaggon variant.)
Lifta Droppa Speedsta


@ Xenobiotic. Lol thats the whole point really, I don't have the discipline normally but hopefully this new rule will improve my project logs and push the paint.



So the first Looted Wagon is all painted.

The blank metal panel is where im thinking of added a Glyph pole.

So thats that one done, although I will probably add a Grot Rigger as well as the Glyph Pole mentioned.


Painted = 163

 

[The Wraithlord]

That's awesome Vash, good to see you posting in a log again.

 

[xenobiotic]

That looted wagon is awesome! I absolutely love the paintjob! It reminds me of the "good old days" when I was just a kid and looked with awe upon the space orks.

 

[Viscount Vash]

Good to be back Wraithlord.

I'm glad it reminds you of the old Orks Xenobiotic, I'm hoping to achieve a blend of the old and new styles.

Thankee to you both.

Whats next?
Well I'm a lazy Git and seeing as I'm aiming for an Apocalypse force and I would rather be tinkering with tanks rather than troops, more armour is pemissable.

So whilst I force myself to paint boyz heres the next tank hull looted from da bitzbox under consideration.

The basic aiming point for it.

And of course the compulsory Painted mini per post.

Boy 4.

Now I ve got to paint some more stuff before I can post again.

Painted= 169.

 

[MaidenManiac]

This has potential! Would really like to see you kick out a whole bunch of those "good ole Epic Vehicles" on that list

Orks are a great opportunity for conversions, and if well made they will kick ass. This has started good with the looted wagon, giving it "new armour" makes it a lot less "random rhino conversion" and more "random Orky build" instead which is a whole lot of plus in my book at least

Remembering a certain Slaanesh Titan means that Im sure this will turn out awesome too

anyways, awesome work. really love it.

btw.. what happened to that deathdealer project

 

[Viscount Vash]

Thanks MaidenManiac, I wanted to do more than just a repainted tank to signify da Mek refurbing a complete wreck at least.

Hangs head in shame at mention of unfinished project.

Cheers Graf I knew there were some missing but couldn't be arsed to hunt in the loft for the old Epic books. BoneBreaka and BrainCrusha added to list.


Hangs head in shame due to not even started project.


Moving Swiftly on......




As to supa eavys, it looks like the Classic Skullhamma is the first one up atm in the poll.


Progress report.

The next Looted Wagon with Boomgun is moving along at a reasonable pace..

Lots of rivets and da gubbins to do as yet though.

You can probably guess how the post is going to end......
