WOTW GREEN MENACE 1st EVER ORKTOBER KITBASHATHON

Oh yes do I got something fun in store for you. Since Orktober is the time of the year when us orks can rummage the oomie village and plunder some treats... I thought I would put out a special event for us greenskins.

When the oomies are distracted followed probably by several weedy gitz who get lost in the mix, their precious belongings will be left ripe for the picking..... So it is time to LOOT and Build.... boyz....

no need to make it pretty with paint and such, this kitbashathon isn't about it. This is for the inner mek who wants to let his creative side show.

Konversions, kitbashes, and scratchbuilds are all welcome in fact everything is welcome EXCEPT standard builds... all standard builds will be launched out of a shokk attack gun with the weedy git crazy enough to submit them.

Teef will be awarded for your creativeness, size of your projects, and yes maybe a few teef if you get them painted but keep in mind it isn't needed for this event.

This is called a kitbashathon for a reason... because it keeps going, all thru the month of orktober, so enter one entry or a galaxy of them....

And for the rulez..... ah yes those....
-you MUST post the starting pic of your project. Don't care what you are using if you want to take a pick of your recycle bin, fine. But we need to see your starting point.

-You have until the end of Orktober, at Nov 1st all unfinished entries will turn into a pumpkin for all i care or what is left of a pumpkin after trick or treaters get ahold of them. So you must post pics of finished projects prior to Nov 1st.

Teef will be based on number of projects completed and are subject to approval from my boss pole which will be used should there be any unpleasant-tries.

So Boyz you wanted chaos.............. . TIME TO LOOT THE GALAXY..... or as they say on earth.... happy halloween.

Count me in as well...
SKEETERGOD: At least all I have to do is go and "borrow" the kid's camera...lol...

angel of death 007 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 1, 2013, 08:44:36 PM »

@Skeetergod, I thought you had your own camera? Or did that get lost in the move?

@Ork E Nuff.... welcome aboard.... now we need some pics guyz....... WAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGG HHHHHH

Well might as well support this great event with a project of my own. I have needed some Flakka Trax for awhile and seeing as I hope they will be in our next dex, I might as well get a head start. Plus who couldn't use them for some extra support in an Aporkaplyse game.

So I am going to start out with two kitbashed Flakka Trax. Took a pick of some of the models I will be using. So this is my starting point. I will be adding in some plasticard and ork bits and bodies as well as I go.

Eat your heart out boyz........ I be a lootin.....

Let the games begin.....

Been away from my orks for a bit. Looking give them some more attention and this seems like the perfect motivation! I wish I would have seen this thread before the weekend. This trukk was my project last weekend

I looted a car toy I found at the store, it actually still works. Has an on/off switch that makes the trukk move forward.

I am going to try and do something else for this month. I like the flakka trakk idea, I really want to run one with the supa-kannon. I have also been thinking alot about a orky counts-as army, basically a looted army that counts as both orks and something else. I might experiment with that.

that dakka fighta is sweet btw.

Ok... I'm gonna have to do something for this... I think I'll finish my fighta bomba... It is still not done and actually is in two pieces after a recent fall... Ack! $:-\$

Pics incoming...

A question to AoD: this kitbashathon, is it limited only to vehicles/warmachine-type entries, or can I do infantry based entries as well? I've a killa idea that smacks of "old-school", but I don't want to waste any space here if it's not applicable.

I'm workin' on a great piece, pics when I can post 'em....

Nope you can do infantry as well, as long as they are customized...

Ok, well I haven't got any big projects on at the minute, as I'm saving up for Febuwaaghry in the hope that the rumours of a new codex come to fruition.

However, I can't let a kitbashathon pass me by, not and keep my title; so with that in mind I thought it was time to do some proper lootas. I don't have any painted lootas, so haven't been using them much of late, and didn't want to paint them 'out-of-the-box', as it were, as that seems to be contrary to the idea of them! So, I have some pre-built standard lootas, and lots of bits, and will make it a mission over the next week to loot'em up good.

First up, can't loot without a willing mek, so here he is, in honour of the event: Mek 'Bashafon.

*update* Friday
three done today, just to get me started.

first loota:

second loota:

third loota:

quite happy with them, but all pretty straightforward so far, will try to get more extensive kitbashing as I go on; I want each of them to look properly distinctive.

*update* Sunday
technically I did these on Saturday, but forgot to post. 3 more lootas:

fourth loota

fifth loota

sixth loota

going to tackle some of the large bore ones next.

*update* Tuesday

seventh loota

eighth loota (favourite so far, I think)

ninth loota (built backwards on this one, looks huge on the model)

enough bits (harnesses is the limitation) for 2 more, so doing something with rockets next.

As I'm breaking down my entire army and starting from scratch I thought I'd do something I've never run with before: Nob Bikers. I've taken 5 old-school warbikers, used the bottom halves of cyboar riders, bits from old boyz kits and other assorted goodies. Below I've posted the bikes and biker models I've started with. I've only completed one so far, as it's taken me a while to strip and break down the models. More to come.

Original Warbikes, old paint job without original riders.

Original Cyboar rider models.

First finished Nob.

Good God those bikes take me back. Thanks for making me feel old. Having said that, I rather like what you've done with the cyboar riders and the modifications to "modernize" those bikes.

Gaah! If only I hadn't been so busy I could have totally gotten busy with work on an entry for this thread! With only 8 days left, I don't know if I can scrape anything together, the ole bits box is looking pretty thin these days. Nevertheless I have my little cheerleader grot here to scream and jump up and down for all yer 'ard work lads!

*looks around* Oh, um... well I guess the Runtherda that sold him to me neglected to say he's invisible, that Herda is gonna get a thumpin.

Jokes aside it looks like everyone has some good work going. And to be honest seeing the good old bikes made my old Ork heart cry out, I miss those old bikes. Best of luck to everyone, I'll see y'all at the finish line

Peace

Baron Wastelands · « **Reply #14 on:** October 24, 2013, 02:18:36 PM »

Two more, and I'm out of loota bits. I might pick up another box to give me a full 15, but otherwise I'm done:

Tenth loota

11th loota

This one isn't quite finished now that I look at it, was going to put a new warhead tip on the large missile, and have one of the orc spikes from fantasy in mind, but couldn't find one. Will dig through other bits boxes and add it.
