"Da Boss Killa" Looted Wagon

Okay, so this is the second to last of the catch-up posts. Work on The Project has started, but I'll wait with posting, so that I've a decent amount of material to show. For now, the looted wagon. My first finished vehicle and also quite the conversion, took over a year to finish due to being a testbed for all things conversion related, bunch of direction changes, breaks, lack of motivation and so on.

It's pretty much just your regular looted wagon: get an imperial vehicle, take it apart, reassemble with lots of plasticard and stuff, add a turret or two, rough it up, etc. However, while I did have a rough idea at the beginning, I did not know how much it was going to evolve as the work went on. The name "Boss Killa" comes from a few of my first 40k games where I've fielded it in a very unfinished state. In most of those 500 pts battles it ended up being the last one standing. In two it came under attack by the enemy HQs, the first time by a Chaos Lord on a steed of Slaanesh, which got blown to bits by a lucky rokkit hit after the boomgun shell went wide. The second time it became the target of Saint Celestine who had already used her revive to tank up a boomgun shell which would otherwise have decimated a squad of sisters. Her flamers did nothing to the mighty AV11 and she was subsequently greeted with a boomgun to the face.

'Ard boyz trukka unit

Oh wow, I can hardly believe it's already been two weeks since last post. Time sure flies when you're trying to finish all the bloody assignments on time. But that's in the past now. Semester's wrapped up, holidays have started and I'm winding down after all the rush and slowly getting my room and work desk into shape for upcoming projects. But that's roughly next week, in the meantime, another unit.

A small mob of shield-equipped boyz with a nob, intended to be trukkboyz. Their trukk has yet to be built. They're an extension of a concept from the first unit, that one kneeling boy with a piece of trukk armor. I decided to give myself a small challenge with this bunch, namely using only AoBR boyz as bases and not ending up with a unit of clones.

Whirrr bzzzzz-zap! Big Mek wiv Kustom Force Field

Okay, time for another "stuff I completed before starting this blog" posts. This time it's the first HQ for my army, a Big Mek with a KFF and what can probably be assumed to be a big choppa.

In da beginnin' dere wuz da shootaz

Alright, so here we go with first of the posts that detail all the stuff I've finished so far. I'm gonna space those out so that they cover the period of time left until I'm done with this semester and can dig into hobbying proper.

Those are the first fifteen boyz that I've finished. Didn't really have a clear goal in mind, except for some shootas and maybe 'eavy armour and I played around that with conversions and such, slowly figuring out how to get stuff done, etc. They were mostly a test-bed and training grounds for everything, from cutting stuff up and removing mould lines to working with plasticard and reposing and so on.

'ere we go! - introductory post

Woooo, got the template roughly figured out as far as colours and stuff go. You can probably tell I'm pretty bad at this and I, as a design student, should be ashamed of such a rampant lack of web design skills. Alas, I am not.

Nobody cares anyway, so let's get to the good stuff.

Orkz. Specifically the focus of this blog, my (atrociously) slowly growing army, Da Wazgarg Rokkaz. The name was conceived using that old ork glyph chart thing and boils down to two main components: Waz - synonym for the colour red, also meaning speed, excitement and fright. One of the more common glyphs nowadays, it's the arrow thingy.
The other one is Garg, less known as it's just a square shape. Means huge, terrifying, noisy and powerful. Sounds pretty good for what I intend to be a mix of Goffz and Evil Sunz, leaning heavily towards Kult uv Speed. Goffs to represent a penchant for 'eavy muziks (hence the Rokkaz part) and Evil Sunz for the speed-crazy petrolhead aspect of my take on the greenskins.

'ello? Dis 'ere fing, 'z it workin'?

Oi guyz! 'ow do you use deze zoggin' interwarpz?

So yeah, after almost two years of putting together little plastic orkz at a snail's pace, I decided to start a blog so that I have a place where I can spam as many updates and pictures as I damn well please.

The sole purpose of this post is to give me one so that I can tweak the template and whatnot. Expect a proper introductory post soon. Not that anyone is even gonna stumble upon this stump of a blog anyway. Not before I shamelessly push it into the faces of all the renowned people 'round here, begging for recognition and such.

Oh, and have a picture.
