Spikey Bits

Welcome back true believers! Now that I got my sweet scenic bases it's time to mount the ladz to them. Of course in the process of matching them up to the bases I realized that they hadn't been updated with new bits from the Nobz box set, so after a few Mad Dok specials here and there the Nobz were ready for their close up!


Since they now made the bits for Big Choppas I added splashed a few of those around the squad. Who can't resist four STR 7 hits on the charge per model? Plus I converted another Waaagh Banner from a Black Orc arm and an Orc Warboss Standard from Warhammer Fantasy.

I had to magnetize the arm at the shoulder to actually store it, as the whole model wouldn't even fit in a 4" foam tray!

I sketched the outline of the banner in pencil as a guideline for the freehand paint job. Then I went over it with black, and highlighted that with three grays; Adeptus Battlegrey / Codex Grey / Ghostly Grey / Codex Grey 50/50 Mix.

When I was done I just used the eraser to get rid of any unwanted pencil marks that were left behind!

Of course I still have some Power Claw Nobz, plus the wonder twins: Warboss Snorg and Painboy Steve. Check out the Warboss on his new base of doom!


Note the Attack Squig shamelessly stolen from the Fanatics Box. I also converted a flame on the Kombi-Skortcha from an Ork Boy Topknot bit. I think in the near future I'll go back and add a small banner pole to him just so he's taller that the rest of the ladz.

And last but not least is Painboy Steve. I did a lot of customizing with this model, and am very happy with the results.

First he had to have a masked head, and that weird doctor head light saucer thing. Next he needed some Dok's tools and and a bone saw for operating. Then I converted him a Painboy gun from a slugga, bosspole, and burna.

I also painted a "bone cross" on his bike cowl so everyone knows he's the Dok!
Next time we're going to switch gears a bit with the arrival of the Imperial Guard. Of course the Chaos player in me is yearning to raise a renegade army, so I'll have to come up with some sweet conversions for those guys.

Plus I have some amazing conversions for the new Valykrie kit. Here's a quick preview.
