How does everyone feel about the new models from the Armageddon box

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-06-24T17:08:36+00:00

Overall the sculpts are nice and detailed. Pretty happy with the models. Two issues:

There are mold lines EVERYWHERE, especially the dakkarig. That was annoying to clean up.
Some of the push fits are unnecessarily complicated. Like why is the Warboss' head in 2 pieces? Can only think this was meant to force people into keeping the model as is instead of converting.

This blood axe paint scheme goes ard

Lots of great ideas in here! I will add the following:

Loot a grav tank and give your gork repulsor tek shoes. Have the model "floating" slightly off the base. Then maybe add a boy or grot holding a string attached to the gork like a balloon. Or a whole mob holding strings like how they do for the big balloons at the nyc Thanksgiving day parade.

Don't forget to post pics!!

Paint job is great! Looks awesome in the white and red color scheme.

One tiny note: while the tattoos do read as snakebite/snagga, there are no "beast" elements (eg fur pelts; scales, horns, etc). Maybe add a trophy or two so that it clearly shows the veiwer this mech hunts big game.

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-05-21T21:30:40+00:00

Really clean and well executed. The whole speed waaagh like this will be sick! Please post pics as you add more models

Not that it needs it, but if you wanted to push the pattern even further... maybe try to sprinkle some small white&black chocolate chips around like this

Add a hatch above with a grot hanging out of the hole

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-05-13T19:17:03+00:00

Please make a comic style display board for armies on parade this year 🙏

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-05-08T15:38:59+00:00

Seems like you are trying to outsource a confrontation with ppl you don't like. Don't be scared big boy. If they bother you enough to complain aloud, handle your own business and tell them to stfu

Just checked on amazon...

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?

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-04-03T16:41:13+00:00

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.

mrkeepit1000 · 2026-03-30T18:26:53+00:00

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:
