40k Orks Nobs The bigger they are the harder they fight.

Nobs are the backbone of any ork army and these guys are at the top of the food chain, and they certainly need to look the part. I have done many different types of nobs over the years. I was lucky enough to pick up some of these from a friend who didn't need them anymore, and I am already thinking about maybe organising them into a unit to represent some ork eavy armour boys.

I've also been a big fan of the old metal warboss model, which I have managed to include in some of these conversions which, gives them a sense of scale probably one of my most favourite models.

My converted ork tankbuster boys, and they're getting ready for the table top.

So another post and something definitely to celebrate considering last year was such a poor year for posting stuff on the blog. I would like to share my 8 converted tankbuster boys. Apparently they're one of the best units in our Codex at the minute, and I've only played them a couple of times with some good results on the table top. And it's definitely worthwhile giving them some good stuff from your bits box and make them a little bit different and more unique than other regular boys, after all not everyone has access to a rockets.

My 1st post of the new year, orks old school warbikes.

Things have been a bit slow around these parts over recent months, especially last year as, I simply didn't have the time to update my blog regularly. I thought it was about time that I posted what I'm currently working on and to get this year off to the best possible start. My new ork warbikes are very simple to convert and make, by using a couple of bits and pieces from my bits box. And I think you'll agree they look brilliant.

40k Chaos Spawns Mark of Nurgle Conversions.

More slow but steady progress with my chaos army this week, and not willing to spend any money to buy the official models themselves, I decided to see if I could convert my own with little bits and pieces from my hobby collection. They are pretty self explanatory some nids bits and pieces and WFB goblin spider riders, and it's pretty much job done. So by experimenting a little with the stuff that you have lying around in your collection it just goes to show what can be achieved and much-needed inspiration and until next time enjoy.

My new the fly, Nurgle Maulerfiend conversion.

Looking to keep things as cheap as possible this is what I came across on eBay for the grand price of 99p, Movie Maniacs Series 3 The Fly Brundle Fly Mcfarlane, although it was missing one of its arms but that is certainly isn't going to be a problem, and and easy fix.

As always it will need a little bit of work but when finished I think it's going to look great, all to often you just see a fat blob, or something very similar when you see Nurgle conversions on the net, unless I'm mistaken I don't think I have seen it anywhere else. The theme of the fly will fit in very nicely into the nurgle fluff and give the army something that is very unique.

The model itself is just over 6 inches so I'm going to have to shorten its legs for it to walk on all 4s which isn't too much of a problem.

It might be a little bit taller than the original 40k Maulerfiend model, but overall it will be something different so might be putting myself at a little bit more of a disadvantage on the table but I don't care it looks cool.

My New Chaos Army Daemon Prince Of Nurgle Part 3

Just another update in regards to what I've done so far in the last couple of days, and hopefully the pics can illustrate what I've achieved by adding little bits and pieces to the model overall. Just remember there is no right and wrong in regards to what you can do. And just keep a good look out when you're out and about in the shops as you don't know what you might come across, especially anything to do with making papercraft because all the little bits and pieces may come in very handy.

And I highly recommend these, as you'll be surprised what you can pick up in pound stores, as you simply push them into your green stuff.

So this guy is pretty much complete Just still to do a little bit more work in regards to his back and it will be job done.

My new Chaos Army Daemon Prince of Nurgle part 1

So I have finally decided to turn to the dark side, can't wait to get stuck in with some green stuff, on my new winged Daemon Prince of Nurgle.

Well my success with 7th hasn't exactly been overwhelming as I'm finding my orks quite difficult to play, so have decided to start and collect an allie, and I think chaos will fit in rather nicely. So this was my first purchase from eBay and at £20, it definitely wasn't the cheapest option but considering you got the bloodthirsty wings I think it is a good starting point.

The goals for this project or for it to be as cheap as physically possible as all the models that I buy will either be secondhand or from eBay, give or take a unit or to.

My Pain Boy And Tank Buster Ork Nob Finished.

Overall things have been quiet in regards to me posting regularly on the blog but it doesn't mean that my hobby time has been quiet, in fact it's the complete opposite as there is a long list of things to do. These were done a little while ago and I am only managing to get them posted up now on my blog for everyone to see.

My Empire Hell Hammers For Man O War.

Finished my hell hammers for man o war yesterday, when I originally picked up the models on eBay they where missing their guns, so it was an easy conversion using some Empire bits. Plus I don't think you need the original metal models as you can easily just convert some of the original plastic ships that you got with the game to make them.

Converting My Old Ork Buggies, Into Twin Linked Rocket Launchers.

It's been a bit quiet over recent months on the blog so this is what I'm currently working on, and considering you can take them in groups of 5 it's now definitely an incentive for me to get them up and running.

Apologies for the bad pictures, as the lighting is not the best but hopefully it will give you a better idea of what they look like when there finished.

I'm so glad I didn't sell them, so it's to the tabletop we think we go.

My Blood Axe 40k Ork Looted Wagons

I'm sure like many of us, we all have hobby projects that we don't get time to finish, and I'm no different. So it was about time tonight that I finally made a little bit more of an effort, to get these bad boys done, and on the table top. Although these were originally completed a few years ago it was time to update the models, to my blood axes with a World War II German feel and give them a little bit of an improvement. As overtime they had got a little bit broken, battered and bruised over the years. Plus I also wanted an opportunity of finally playing with some ordinance, as I haven't been getting the opportunity recently.
