My delaques and scratchbuild rebel grots

[The Voivod]

Just wanted to show of some of my stuff.

 I got the these Delaques in a deal with the old rule books. I wasn't really interested in them, untill I decided they would be cool cowboys. I just didn't like the bald heads. A few black cat bases hats later:




GorkaMorka was my first miniature game after heroquest almost a decade earlier. I really liked the rebel grots, but didn't want to chase them down on e-bay. This is my first scratch build using plasti-card and was loads of fun to do.


Big Lugga






And the Cutta's




These were all painted in one go, which was quite the chore, even when speedpainting. I Really like them do. Hope you agree.

All great stuff.. Good paitning too. But those hats make them look like the delaques have pin heads or something... 

[von Lucky]

I think it's such a simple conversion that really changes them (space cowboys!). The cutters are nice too - love they all run on renewable energy

[Wachaza]

Nice paintjob but the hats sit a couple of mm too high on the head for me. Lower the hats on the head and they'd be so much better.

I love those Grot vehicles!!

[Elbows]

Those guys are Firefly as heck (and I'm completely fine with the hats).  I dig em.

Having seen all of these bad boys in the flesh/plastic/lead, I can only add my voice to the growing chorus of nicepaintjobbers: Nice paintjobs! But I told you about the hats... I say leave them as is; all the more surface for my Eschers to shoot at.  

And we really need to get that Gorka Morka campaign set up so my Boyz can mince up and/or enslave those runts of yours...  

But not any time soon, as I'm typing this on my phone from the hospital during a lull in Mrs. D's labour!  PUSH!!  

Oh; our tuesday night gaming plans will also be cancelled I fear...

Nice scratch builds. I like em

[The Voivod]

Thanks all, I can see what people mean by the hats being to high on the head, but at this stage any more tampering is gonna do more harm then good I think. It doesn't bother me enough.  I'll probably adjust the next batch, though.

Oh; our tuesday night gaming plans will also be cancelled I fear...  Wink

*sound of cracking whip*  
Good luck there.

Great conversions & grot vehicles!

Fantastic idea. I wonder why no one has thought of this before. The hats didn't bug me till someone pointed them out. Considering how wonky many GW sculpts are, I don't see this as a real issue.
