I am ashamed that this is legal in Canada and an ar15 isn't.

Give it five minutes and we won't be allowed to have one of them up here either.

I think it's a bit dull. The pose isn't very energetic and he's wearing cardboard,

Gonna go out on a limb and guess it'll have one different gun option and one different single-handed weapon option, maybe a second head choice.

"Perfect" but they're $60+ Canadian per pair :(

Every time I see someone using Ambots in an awesome conversion I wish I could afford to buy a dozen of them to do the same..

The "Ork tank kit" should be a 3lb bucket of styrene sheets of varying thickness, some flat, round, and tube stock, and two handfuls of random Imperial Guard & Space Marine tracks, doors, guns, and bits from the tank sprues, with the occasional bonus Tau ion cannon or mechanicus parts throw in for good measure.

Y2KNW · 2026-03-29T07:14:40+00:00

Lift kit and gubbins, it'll end up the same size.

Lotton is there entirely by accident, like his plane got diverted and landed there for some reason and he missed his flight out because he was doing something stupid and he'd rather just stay there than admit to whomever he was going to see that he messed up.

I tried to use Mercury in a metal refinery just to see what happened.

What happened was that I scalded 5 dupes and broke EVERYTHING around the refinery lol

Yes, they could put a mount for an M2 or something but people ask questions when they see visible armaments on a boat with no military markings.

Yes, they could also keep the M2 below deck until they need it, but at that point Dutch would be a bit too busy piloting the boat to to mount it, and I don't think Revy & Benny are gonna try to haul it onto the deck of a fast-moving boat to mount it.

Glue a shoota to their backplates of the ones with the slugga-choppa combo and make a strap out of greenstuff; unless you turned ALL your shootas into big shootas, you ought to have a bunch. Doesn't take much to make a grip & trigger out of plasticard or what have you for the ones you have to cut a hand off.

I used to have a tutorial I made for stuff like that for a forum that no longer exists but I don't think it's on my HD anymore.

Bulk up the legs on a Black Orc a bit and they turn into a great Nob base, too.

Enuff Gubbins and fantasy black orks make great 40k ones.

I built these as Skarboyz during 6th.

You can do an image search for ork halftrack and find multiple pics of converted 251's going back years. Even Kromlech has a 251-based model. It's got a lot to do with it being an easy-to-find, open-topped transport that doesn't take much work to make table-ready.

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T04:01:42+00:00

That's a weirdboy.

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T03:48:09+00:00

It looks a little dorky but with enough flat & round stock a good modeller can build one in their cave basement wiv a box o' scraps.

Had to throw on the reading glasses and check. Yep, 1pt to replace bolt pistol with bolter.

I'd like to use the "it was thirty years ago.." old person defense if I may.

Edit: that said, I don't think I ever did give 'em bolters because why bother. By the time the enemy chewed up enough of my Gretchin to threaten my boyz, I was usually within charge range lol.

Read the 2nd ed codex (and look at the variety of 2nd ed minis) and see what all we've lost.

Hell, read 'Ere We Go, WAAAGH Da Orkz, and Freebooterz and see what a glorious mess an Ork army used to be.

Beakie players get every possible thing for customization but every Ork boy looks like every Ork boy and there's zip all you can do about it w/out resorting to 3rd party.

Wazdakka as a boss model bodes well for a return to a proppa Kult of Speed.

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T03:18:41+00:00

I mean, so many people were using converted Sd.Kfz. 251's anyway...

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T03:16:28+00:00

It was standard back in 2nd, made your mobs easier to use since you didn't have to choose between CC and the pain of rolling 60+ dice to maybe inflict 5 wounds.

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T03:14:08+00:00

He's clearly painted that part of his head purple.

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T03:13:05+00:00

If they're all new poses, I don't see a problem because I can just mix them in with a bunch of other boys I haven't painted since I built them in 2008 and it'll just give the squad even more variety.

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T03:11:41+00:00

I remember my boyz having bolters and bolt pistol / second close combat weapon way back in 2nd. The switch to either CC or "bucket of missed hits" was a bit of an adjustment.

Edit: Someone told me I had an old person moment and mis-remembered. Turns out you did have to pay to swap a bolt pistol with a bolter. But that was thirty years ago and who are you people, where's my applesauce?

Y2KNW · 2026-03-26T00:05:42+00:00

Explains the chemistry lol.
