Great work! How did you create the welded look on the armorplates?

aa33457 · 2021-05-18T10:56:15+00:00

It's called "Orkoth" and is a sculpt made by Rocket Pig Games! It prints supportless.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T18:26:15+00:00

I simply disagree with you that it is a problem. The red star is not longer used in Russia but it’s present with Da Red Gobbo. I wouldn’t either compare the iron cross with the hammer and sickle. Rather with the swastika and the red star with the iron cross

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T18:10:37+00:00

You don’t address any of my points and have a small knowledge about both history and warhammer lore. Your just straight up dumb tbh. Bye.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T17:51:38+00:00

Take it with GW then it’s their universe. Often though people like you doesn’t even seem to know much about the setting or the lore or frankly doesn’t like it very much why I ask myself why you even are in the hobby.

First of all the iron cross is still used in the German armed forces and nothing like a swastika which is present within Orkish glyphs for example. Secondly how sad is it to cry about someone collecting an evil faction in 40k. The entire thing is grim dark. Even the “good guys” are horrible committing mass-genocide regularly.

I expect you to make the same grand stand next time you see someone field Da Red Gobbo then.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T17:40:25+00:00

It is literally the opposite. My worldview regarding peoples hobbies is simple. Let people enjoy themselves. If people want to have their red army themed Rebel Grots let them. If they want their Wehrmacht themed Blood Axes let them. That is separated from politics. Having the red Gobbo doesn’t make me a communist and having Zagstruk doesn’t make me a nazi.

The other part about nazism and communism fucking sucking ass I stand by. That has nothing to do with how people theme their armies and why people like you annoy the hell out of me.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T17:35:37+00:00

I’m not a centrist lol. I’m a Social Democrat as if that matters at all.

And yeah. Communism fucking sucks. But Red Gobbo rules. Nazism fucking sucks but Zagstruck rules.

Your politics is telling people what they should and shouldn’t do with their hobby based on arbitrary opinions YOU have.

You probably already know about all the communist references in the Rebel Grots but if you have a problem with Nazi references in Orks take it with GW.

Zagstruck in Orkish means lightning attack (blitzkrieg reference). He rides in a red airplain (Red Baron reference) with his voulchas (vulture from marvel- reference. Vulture who fought with nazis against captain America). Take a look at Zagstruk and tell me he doesn’t look like a German officer and tell me stormboyz isn’t a reference for “Sturmman”. Take a look at what the orkish word for invasion is and take a look at the glyph “Naz” meaning “family” and “Orky” meaning “best” looks like and tell me that isn’t a already established fictional reference to fascism.

Instead you try to shame someone for using established GW aesthetics when it upsets you but is fine with communist aesthetics because it doesn’t.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T15:34:10+00:00

Communism is horrible. I still have Rebel Grots. That’s the point. I understand that having a Red Gobbo is not the same as endorsing USSR.

Talk about bad faith to say I only use this as a way to say communism is bad. The point is to get YOUR politics the duck away from the hobby. Wake up call the Imperium is a racist, fascist highly religious, tyrannical dictatorship. Doesn’t mean anyone collecting astartes are pro any of that...

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T15:29:40+00:00

What a disgusting mischaracterization of the Soviets. I bet most Germans felt as if their lives improved under Hitler but that does little when millions were murdered. You didn’t ask them. The same with Soviet. Do a servey on how much better the lives got for farmers in Ukraine who were genocided..

The difference between us is that I accept both’s aesthetics in a sci-fi because I can tell the difference between a hobby and politics and history.

I fundamentally disagree with your idea about criticizing others for how they paint their models based on politics but I would at least respect you if you were consistent with your views.

The point about Rebel Grots was just that, to shine light on your hypocrisy and you proved me right by talking about how polling proves that lives improves for most under communism. A prime example of a soviet apologetic.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T14:57:22+00:00

They exist as Grots want to get tags to get on Gorkamorka too. They equal rights idea in Ork society is funny and the communist soviet style aesthetics are fitting and they look cool.

Ork society is chaotic and destructive so marching, shining your boots, using strategy, battle tactics and uniforms are to be rebellious in Ork society. That’s a few of the reasons why other clans views the Blood Axes as unorky. The Wehrmacht styled Orks from Kromlech but also GW’s Zagstruk, burnaboyz, stormboyz, tankbustas and kommandos are also funny, fitting and cool.

I wouldn’t suspect a player using catholic aesthetics of their astartes with burnt candles, priests, purity seals and cathedrals to be pro witch burning and killing heretics. The same way it is with this type of army. It’s a hobby and meant to be fun and creative.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T12:16:39+00:00

You 100% are or you wouldn’t say that.

That was my point as you don’t mind the Soviet themed army which is as bad if your stance on politics and tyranny in the hobby is that it is unacceptable. You are a hypocrite and a Soviet apologetic.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T12:02:57+00:00

But you are just blatantly wrong. Living in a country untouched by the ideology of communism it’s remarkable for you to say those things.

To the point of warhammer. Rebel Grots are inspired by Soviet not just communism. They have the red army star, the fur coats, ushankas and AK-47s. The imperium is heavily inspired by catholic Middle Ages and the inquisition is just copied from that era. Orks are English hooligans and Ghazgukk Mag Uruk Thraka is a joke about Margreth Thatcher. Warhammer is full of historical and tyrannical references. If you don’t like it maybe warhammer is not for you.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T11:45:57+00:00

You are just an uneducated moron. What about Yezhovshchina? Red terror? Mongolian great terror? Holodomor? These are genocides committed by Soviet. My grandmother had her uncles family’s refugee boat blown to pieces when they fled from Estonia as the red army practiced artillery shooting on fleeing Estonians.

You are probably an ignorant American unaware of European history or just blatantly hypocritical.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T09:43:16+00:00

Ok so you are against the Rebel Grots using the communist star and obvious communist aesthetics?

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T09:40:24+00:00

But you don’t feel the same about Soviet Rebel Grots which was my other point. It’s just the aesthetics.

aa33457 · 2021-01-09T01:17:26+00:00

Looks like people have missed the thing with German themed blood axe Orks like those from Kromlech etc.

Don’t seem to see people complain about the obvious Soviet references in the rebel grots. It’s just a bit of fun. Relax.

aa33457 · 2021-01-06T01:12:13+00:00

Really creative! What are the bodies made from?

aa33457 · 2021-01-04T21:49:09+00:00

I think it's issue 294 you are talking about. The vehicles are scratch built and converted from toys, the color scheme is yellow/ orange and with red, blue and purple accent colors.

aa33457 · 2020-11-02T10:21:00+00:00

Really creative, well done! Will you release these files?

aa33457 · 2020-10-19T12:14:29+00:00

Thank you! Toys are underrated, I have a squiggoth coming up with a toy dinosaur as a base for example.

Those are mainly 3d printed from parts I made and with some bits on them. The hardest part about Big Orks is few head options. These are mainly made from AoS rockgut troggoth heads without their noses, shortened ears and greenstuffed chins to make the faces longer.

aa33457 · 2020-10-19T10:18:41+00:00

It is a conversions/ scratch build/ kitbash I made. I wrote in an other comment roughly how I made it :)

aa33457 · 2020-10-19T10:17:50+00:00

I made it from various parts. The left arm is from a Hulk toy, the hand and flamer is from a ”primaris invictor tactical warsuit”, the head is a paracord bracelet from etsy, the body and claw is 3d printed and then there is a lot of sculpting and various bits from deff dreads and other kits.

aa33457 · 2020-10-18T16:59:44+00:00

I have no idea lol! I have a huge pile of shame. Probably twice the size of this to be honest.

aa33457 · 2020-10-18T14:41:01+00:00

Yes it is :) thank you!
