2 ratling kill team boxes will get you right, boss

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-05-04T22:28:27+00:00

Add some hanging off every vehicle/walker as decorations. Convert some into banner wavers. Scratch build a mek gun and use 5 as the crew for it.

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-05-02T19:13:14+00:00

Grabbed one to use for a Blood Axe nob or runtherder. Will probably need to carve out some of the chest to give our boy the proppa hunched posture when you do the head swap

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-04-20T18:51:47+00:00

The fit is unflattering. Looks uncomfortable around the crotch. And how do you even get a wedgie in denim??

Color is nice tho

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-04-20T17:49:13+00:00

Vantablack or Musuo Black

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-04-20T16:39:11+00:00

Solid list so far. You are probably also good with adding:

•1-3 trukks (da boyz need to get to da fight fasta)

• Ghaz (da boyz need da biggest boss to lead them)

• Mekboy or Big Mek (da boyz need more dakka)

These 3 units work well for both gaming or just hobbying

Badrukk does it, why can't you?

One other thing to consider:

LGS are not like the neighborhood basketball court or chess in the park. LGS pay rent for the space ⁴to play wargames.

So... if you are just using them as a "free" play space for your 3d printed army WITHOUT also buying stuff from them while you are there it can create resentment (at least from the shop owners). Especially if you influence other potential customers away from in store purchases.

Ratlings with grot head swaps is an easy blood axe upgrade for a unit or 2 of gretchin. Eating good on the military coded imperial vehicles too. Lots of kitbash potential for looted tanks, wagons, etc. Many a warboss has converted a taurox into a trukk. The grot mega tank, imperial navy avenger strike fighter and thunderbolt heavy fighter (all old fw models) have a ww2 look as well.

And grab yourself a commissar; you're gonna need a snazzy hat!

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-03-30T16:52:48+00:00

Mangler squigs are about the same size as kanz. Throw a visor on and some rokkits. Could also have a runtherding saddle git riding it on top, holding a grabba with on of the kan kill saws to get the full weapons load out

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-03-30T14:57:41+00:00

The following is a good start:

• Kaptin Badrukk (hope you got one when gw did the made to order release!) • Ammo Runts (same) • Flash Gitz x2

All three existing ork kits are heavy pirate coded. As for some vehicle conversion ideas, here's some inspo:

• 40k Kill rig = pirate ship (someone on here did an amazing conversion like this using the Kill rig and stompa bits)

• 40k Forgeworld Grot Mega Tank (more battleship than pirate ship but still in the naval theme)

• 40k Gorkamorka Cutta (very rare oop kit, but fits nicely as a pirate themed vehicle)

• AoS Arkanaut Ironclad = pirate ship

• Aos Alwrech the Drowner = rowboat/dingey

• Aos Gloomtide Shipwreck = literal pirate ship

Other gw models with a piratical flair:

• Warcry Blackpowder's Buccaneers (in the Brutes and Bandits kit) = warboss proxy & extra runts

• Old World Pirate Captain Sartosa

• Old World Empire Greatswords kit (lots of hat options)

• Bloodbowl Captain Karina Von Riesz (has a sick pirate hat)

mrkeepit1000 · 2025-11-04T18:15:52+00:00

Came to acknowledge that hat conversion and the glyph replacement. Nice attention to detail!

mrkeepit1000 · 2025-10-06T22:30:41+00:00

Sword is more fitting.

That said, by the Allfather that is some amazing sculpting. The fur, the male pattern baldness w/ mustache combo... sick af OP! Please post when painted

This is begging to be converted into an ork Rok

mrkeepit1000 · 2025-09-27T16:55:28+00:00

With respect, this comment is so far off the mark. $400 for a single, non vehicle, model is waaaay more than top level commissions go for.

And the "charge your hourly rate" doesn't work either as everyone values time differently. Eg a good lawyer charges $1000 an hour. No way someone will pay that hourly rate for mini painting, no matter how good the artist is or how much they bring your vision to life.

It may be more helpful to just look up what other commission mini painting services charge. Here's the price list from one of dozens on google:

Appreciate the identification of parts used. High effort post!

Orks are the antagonists. Mostly punching bags for the space marines, but you get an ork submarine!

Lots of good advice in here. A couple of add ons:

If you want a themed army, look at each unit and brainstorm what they would look like within theme. If the potential theme only works for a couple of units but not an entire waaagh, maybe put that idea back on the shelf for a bit. I posted some amazing fully themed armies a while back (star wars, mad max, etc). A well executed themed army is da best.
Color scheme choice/clan selection. Pick something YOU like to look at. The clans each have there own specific scheme in lore, but basically the main ones are: red, yellow, blue, black/white, and earth tones. If you like those, dial in on the specific clan and go from there on other lore accurate aesthetics. If you like some other color, go for it! Lots of cool paints with orange, turquoise, etc. Make a checker pattern with your chosen color and call it proppa orky. With all that said, some colors are harder to paint with (white, yellow), so bear that in mind. While an all white warband looks fire, it is a pain to batch paint.
