Space Ork Long Range Raiders (new stuff on Aug 16th)

[Mason]

Ooooh!

These chaps are wonderful, sir.
Stunningly perfect as Orky Kommandos.
 

Love the vehicle and the kitbashing, the parts that you are using work perfectly and join seamlessly.
Amazing, considering the variety amongst them.
Really looking forward to watching this develop.
I gave up 40k donkeys years ago, but do still have a fondness for Orky kitbashing madness.

Now that would be something to see  

I guess there's no turning back from the pink then? This page has some nice reference piccies, I think good pink with blueis camo stripes or splashes wouldn't look too out of the place. I just don't want to make it too HelloKittyish, trying to maintain somekind of zane Orky flavour is the goal.

Mason: same here, haven't played 40K for many years and gave up, or rather sold all my projects exept these and few RT era things. Now with these, dunno where this road will lead me but fortunately there are many other rules set that I can still use.

Now, checking the prices of the Tamiya 1/35 LRDG Chevy I feel sorry that I destroyed my old one over 20 years ago as I teenager... It would have been nice base for another vehicle for these Raiders.

very nice pieces, pocoloco! Just discovered the thread now, but it's a pleasure to follow such a trhead!

[pocoloco]

Thank you Sangennaru, much appreciated.

Nothing much to show now, bought the warbuggy kit and tried out the driver. Looks ok, the other arm needs some repositioning. And poor chap is really tiny compared with the troopers... maybe that's why he ended up behind the wheel



Got also paints for the pink scheme but painting will have to wait almost a week, rest of the week from Wednesday onwards will be busy, far away from minis and paints

[Vanvlak]

Sorry for the pink 
And you were right, the driver fits in much better than I expected - funny, comparing it to a 1:35 SAS jeep the driver space is much larger.

[pocoloco]

Lucky guess on my part although I did remember the driver being quite tiny in comparison with the newer Orks. The warbuggys gunner model is quite terrible, hopefully I don't have to use it but can come up with a proper Raider instead as a gunner.

[DowVooVoo]

very nice Ive always liked Da Orks. are you casting any parts? 

[pocoloco]

Thank  you gents, happy that there is still lot of love out there towards the Orks

No casting any parts, not even press molding.

[Dolmot]

Elbows: I used to have quite a number of those old skool Kommando boyz, unfortunately none left :/

I think I have plenty. Did I buy them from you?

[pocoloco]

Hmm... good question. Might be? 

[Elbows]

While not quite so Orky...the new iteration of the classic "raider" vehicle for the Brits would just be too cool for a game of this type...

The Supacat Jackal etc.





1/48 which is pretty good for 28mm scale stuff, but not the gigantic Orkses.

[pocoloco]

And another threadnomancy for this evening.

Some new pics of the builds so far, now got two full squads of ten Kommandos and start of the command squad, currently numbering only two lads though.

Long range squad:



Close Quarter squad, armed with shotguns and such:



Start of the command squad, RTO and Weapons specialist:



There's still a long way to get any of these painted but maybe one day I dare to start… before that need to finish the command squad, build one more (bigger) ride etc.

[OSHIROmodels]

Coolio 

Kromlec for some of the bits?

Sorry, that should be 'Bitz' 

cheers

[pocoloco]

Cheers James,

yes Krommlech bits. Haven't checked their current range for ages, this "project" has been stalling for quite some time. And I probably won't be making any more of foot sloggers besides this lot.

Orks tank busters ,sweet!
