Da golden waaagh!!!!

More progress, not much time on the internet so haven't uploaded these as they go just this slog. Enjoy.













These if you cannot tell are the initial work on the piece for this months painting competition. Got some time off tomorrow and Tuesday so hope to finish it then.

Any thoughts? It is basically the yellow and the checks on the leg so far but more to go. Metallics next.

Little more progress on metallics and other odds and ends. These photo also shows the flame effect Ive made out the hair of an ork boy.









This photo shows the close up of the flame effect ive made out the hair of an ork boy.





Much more to do but do it i shall.

Finished the Khromlech Mega Nob. Flame effect curtsy of a shaved boy. Done basically in the scheme of the Bad moons of DA GOLDEN WAAAGH with a little extra effort to bring it above table top to more a entry level hopefully. Any thoughts?















Any thoughts? Comments? Vote for me!!!!

1000TH POST!!!!!!!!!!

Okay now that is out of the way my post for this second is going to be a conversion project I started last night the plan is to forge two of my personal favorite hobbies into one awesome miniature: Monster Hunter and Warhammer 40000.

The plan is a follows
-Convert my Ork Dreadnaughts into warriors of renown with Armour and equipment worthy of such a task.
-Each will have their own weapon as with the game and the showcasing of weapons available

Current thoughts are for Tactical blade or Ravenger blade and Rathalos Armor after that pondering the idea of a Heavy Bowgun and Gravious Armor. Next would be Nargacouga armor and Dual Swords probably Dual Dragons. Next I might go either a lance/gunlance and Zinogre armor. This all depends on if i can get this Rathalos and Greatsword to work.

Below are the weapons I'm talking about above the Tactical bladeand Reaver Blade .





This is the Rathalos Armor i hope to emulate on the dread (mainly thinking helmet, pauldrons and chest).



Next is what I've done so far mainly cutting the Blade out of plasticard (Well old Icecream box) and begun cannibalizing of the dread in preparation for sculpting


This is the stack order for the blade in these sections Im trying to bulk out the weapon before sculpting.







Final shot for scale of the weapon I'm planning to create for this dread. Any thoughts tips and tricks for doing this sort of project i haven't done much like this before.

Many of you probably don't know of what I'm basing this off but hopefully still sounds to be an interesting idea, for you all. Of those that i know have an interest and hope they will chime in with ideas for weapons and armor to do is @Loli and @Deus Mortis

This evening started a little bit of the sculpting on the blade, needs a lot of work mainly filling/sandpaper to smooth out the molding. But so far little bit of progress.

Also have images that I hadn't uploaded up yet, so some final pics of the blade in assembly.









This photo is showing the molding of the stacked plastic to smooth it out more.



This final shot is showing a little sketch that i did to try explain what my scheme is. Green is going to be sculpted scale effects, grey is metalwork and the red is the shoulder plates Ive already removed off the model.



An thoughts?

Small update on the sculpting, just checked on it and it appears to be curing correctly, wasn't too sure due to thickness of much of the green stuff but appear to be working correctly.

Finished the modelling for the Rathalos Dreadnaught, will now hope that the image hosting works, having to go through “Tinypic” because of limits on forum photos.
Here are some more of the in progress shots.



Here’s the final shots before paint







Any thoughts?

Got a little progress on the Rathalos dread, not much really just slapped some paint on it to show a little better what I'm doing, quite horrible but just a quick bit of painting that I'll upload to see opinions so far.











Any thoughts? Thinking to paint the blade as fully metal, instead of the multi-shade which the image has for the actual game. Apart from that coming up good so far lots more to go.

Here are some more photos of the rathalos Dreadnaught conversion, these will be the final shots for the moment, probably will do more highlights but currently this is much as ill do. Though may convert up some gretchin to which will be armed with a skorcha and klaw to represent the weapons of the dread when i removed the additional weapons.











Any thoughts? How do you think it came up?

Here's a little progress from the last couple of weeks with the few new units, namely my new two looted wagons both of which had some minor conversions and some not so minor conversions. As well as work on two squads of boys one who have khromlech heavy armor and one which have the standard boy loadout.













Some of the hard boys painted with the majority of the colors on the torsos and legs. Heads and arms are still a Work in progress









Any thoughts, been quite a while since that I've updated the progress of the Golden Waaagh if more interest is here check out the little page https://www.facebook.com/dagoldenwaaagh/ I update it more frequently with more photos, but will still slowly update here too.

Your not wrong about facebook killing the old forums, for me personally I still prefer, the forum atmosphere but uploading photos is so much easier. Its take the photo, click and upload.

With the forum particularly that ive somehow maxed out the drop box built into the site, its transfer to the computer, load up tinypic, upload one by one, copy paste the URLs directly and finally post with images.

Will still do it but don't really have the effort to do it every evening after a little 5 minute paint job.



Though if the abouve link works I can upload via tapatalk...
