An Orky X-Wing, luv it! I imagine the second seat is for a grot navigator A2 Z2 Not so much for the O-Wing (O-Ring?) - possibly early days yet

Cool stuff FK - that x-wing is ace (see what I did there?). Always loved those looted vehicles of the orks, does the codex contain rules for all those vehicles or how does that work? Hey Grim, gotta love those mechanicus!! Think those metallics look really convincing. Is he done yet? Personally I'd try to work some other colors into his robe. A whole other discussion is color choice when painting Mechanicus. Once in a while I see some really nice models painted in greens, yellows or like this purple. I see what people generally are trying to do and appreciate the idea of painting something that does not look like the rest. Personally I do however find most of those mini to be missing something, in my world mechanicus models have something red on them. I have tried to loose that view for some time, but to me it doesn't really look right if not at least partly red. And I know the codices contains several forgescheems whis orange, bleus and what not - but I dislike most of them as well (and Grim this is not aimed at your mini - just my general observation) What do you guys think?

Cheers Manus, rules-wise that looted doom scythe will simply `count as` a dakka jet with no special rules. Mechanicus models do look good with red on (I do see red on Grim's model actually ) but how people paint their stuff is, of course entirely up to them, maybe a red Martian cracked base would bring the theme to the model more? I do like that purple though... FK

Thanks guys, I did actually try to steer well clear of the 'Classic' red colour scheme for 2 main reasons, 1) My Orks are red and i don't want 2 armies with the same base colour 2) I feel the red is quite common now, especially with the 40k and 30k armies being released and although it looks great and is very thematic, I felt the purple would make mine a bit more unique I may go back at some point and add a gear pattern to the robe if/when i feel brave enough to do it but i am happy with him at the moment. I'm also planning a departure from the red martian bases, and am looking at a jungle themed base for the army. Although there will be some red plants/flowers. Thanks for the comments guys Grim

Well, I have no pictures as yet (Photobucket is b**ch) but I am working on my Baneblade conversion and am in full-on 'reverse Ork' mode.
What is 'reverse Ork'?
Simple. Instead of adding rivets to things I'm shaving the little buggers off! Reason being that if you compare Astartes vehicles to Guard ones you will find very little riveting. As such, adding weld lines will be the order of the day once this process is complete.

Thank you! Had an hour spare yesterday (yes a whole hour lol) so I undercoated the planes and started airbrushing the metals in FK

My plan to work on my 'Blade conversion ran into a speedbump known as shortage of parts and a Calth box.....
Pictures to follow when Photobucket stops being a whiney little bitch.
