Cheetor's Orks: Kommando Kill Team 16/10/18

There are no words for this latest madness.... Sir, I salute you!

[Malebolgia]

Totally bonkers and totally brilliant. Once again a masterwork

[randycarter]

Definetly: chapeau.

[cheetor]

Thanks for all of the kind words everyone.  I enjoyed this sub-project a lot and I think that it shows.

I think that's the first time I've seen anyone make Brainboyz models too, and I really like them. 

Yeah, a silly little pair of side pieces, but a lot of fun.  Professor Heisenbork has led a scientific mission or two since.

Where did the Gobsmasha come from?

Its a resin piece released by "Monolith" under licence from GW back in the early nineties.  Its "Monolith Gobsmasha version One" visible on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki. 

According to the info on that page "There was only a trial run of around 30 of these produced".  I traded for this one earlier this year.  The old epic Gobsmasha was always a favourite so I have a fondness for the totally ridiculous design.  My efforts to make one from the plans in WD#136 back in 1991 were scuppered by a lack of coffee jar lids to make the wheels, so its nice to have one to hit the table soon.

A painted (and converted) version appeared in Adrian Woods army in White Dwarf 201 several years later (visible on the extreme right here).

Thanks, Cheetor! One thing I miss from 'the old days' at the shop were the weird death races. They tended to be big, taking a lot of space, but unlike the big multi-player battles, things really MOVED.

Ill take a few photos of the Deathrace when it takes place and stick them up somewhere here Mr Beast.  It should look entertainingly daft, like a more homicidal Wacky Races.

'Awesome' does not even begin to cover what I'm trying to express. Bravo, maestro.

A 'merican company, Epicast, made one as well, though the barrel was more like the 'converted' vehicle in your piccie there. I still have one about, I think. Massive block of resin for the hull.

Thanks! Really looking forward to it!

'Wacky Races' is about the way I remember them; usually a mix of serious and silly gamers at the first, and just as usually, everyone laughing, barely avoiding rolling on the floor, by the end.  

Probably second in spectator value only to the 'deathworld' tourneys.  You COULD shoot each other, but usually too busy with local flora and fauna and stuff that could go either way. Not NEARLY as much laughing there.

Thanks Cheetor - it's a grand little thing, I love that design too. One of my very first GW blisters (in Epic scale) and possibly the first wargaming models I ever painted!

[The_Beast]

Cheetor: Do you know if any other vehicles were made? I've a resin Spleen Ripper around somewhere. If I could find the kit, do you think people would like to see it?

Doug

[cheetor]

I would certainly be interested in seeing a resin Spleenrippa Doug. Absolutely!

As for how many types of resin vehicles were omce available, the Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki is where I get my information.

[Dr. The Viking]

That Ady Wood shot is amazing! Nostalgia frenzy!

[Andym]

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!

Thanks for the last half hour! I've somehow never seen this thread. I thought the speedracer car was amazing, then I went through the rest of the thread and found the rock band......then the pirates.....then the tour bus.. .then the brain boyz!!! It just keeps getting better and better!!

GROUP SHOT PLEASE!

My brother and myself used to have a copied version of a couple of those buildings from White Dwarf somewhere. I wonder if they're still in one piece.....

Amazing stuff! Keep up the good work!!

Im glad that you like them Andy.  I tend to really enjoy putting these ork sub-projects together and I think that it shows.  Every so often I get the urge to work on greenskin again and for a while I tend to wonder why I dont work on them all the time

GROUP SHOT PLEASE!

Thats a good idea.  I try to sort a photo of the lot out in a few weeks, when I finish working on the current batch.

Amazing stuff! Keep up the good work!!

Ill do my best.  Although I have a load of other things that I need to have painted and ready for a trip to a gaming weekend in a week, I got an urge to assemble and paint this instead.  I will add it to the figures that I am bringing to the Deathrace that Speed Raceork is taking part in. 

The sneaky little guy may or may not be used in the game, but the appeal of putting such a Dick Dastardly-esque item together was too much for me to resist.








The very short blog post is here.

Love it!
 

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff 

You've got to use it now 

cheers

Awesome! I hope it works in the game.
I must be feeling orky this morning, because it took a moment to read what the sign said.
