Unit Discussion/Previews

Didn`t aaglo made a nob before? The first dude with a huge claw (old one, when he first started with orks?)? I`m still confused with orky names.

 

[LMR]

he made the ork boss earlier this year, which can be used as either a nob or a warboss, so depending on which one it is used for, the other needs to be done.

i think the one with the powerclaw you are thinking of might be the flash git?

 

[aaglo]

I think Lizzy's got it right here. I've done two orks with a power claw: flash git (the original) and a ork warboss/nob - I don't know which one would that be usable as (the derivate).

The great apple also made an ork in mega armour: it also has a power claw and a blaster of some sort (with a laser targetting beam )

And I'm not an old-one as far as I know. I'm not familiar with Khaine and dat bunch-o-pansies

 

[aaglo]

I found some pics of various gun & battle wagons (including flak-one) on the forge world... and they look nothing like the war truk I already made... they're more like the battlewagon... so I guess I'll make some sort of crude tank for orks to be modified further to make ... stuff for orks

And the war scorcha should be a piece of cake to make too (from the war trak).

 

[Stormrage]

Whats the difference between a nob and a flash git? I thought flash gitz were .. "rich" nobs.. Or they only belong to a specific clan?

 

[aaglo]

I think that the flash git is a bad moonz unique unit - hence the bad moon logo on the shoulder pad

 

[LMR]

flash gits are rich elite troops, but nobs are bigger and therefore more important

And aaglo's right about the Bad Moonz

Here's a warbuggy WIP-preview.
Any suggestions? Like: should there be a waving banner of somesort?

 

[LMR]

I think it is perfect as it is

For the battlewagon, this article has some cool pictures of battlewagons you might be able to draw some inspiration from

 

[Stormrage]

the design is perfect, but isn`t it a bit too large?

 

[LMR]

the warbuggy needs to be about the size of the wartrak, so it is a tad big

 

[aaglo]

Ok, I'll make it a bit smaller. And I'll see how it'll turn out if I remove the pole from the rear (it's kinda stupid), and staple the "ork head" in the front of the car...

 

[aaglo]

Sorry about bringing up such an old issue...

Would this do as a placeholder for the Eldar War Walker?

Definitely yes. If any colour conversion on that is possible, then I don't know if we wouldn't even need a "proper" eldar war walker.

Well, that's my opinion atleast.

 

[Stormrage]

Since you or Orthanc are the only people that could make a fresh one, and Orthanc ain`t taking requests for some time, I`m cool with the placeholder till you lose your patience and decide to make something new and shiny

 

[aaglo]

As opposed to the old and dusty things for orks? Right

Wait.a.minute.

I think that Wyrmshadow has the eldar war walker model. He showed once a preview of it (in the old WH40k-thread in the main C&C-forum).

EDIT:
Yep, here's the post (in the ancient WH40k-thread):

Looks like an eariler edition, but it`ll do just fine

Perhaps TopGun69 can animate it for us? Or some of our guys..

 

[aaglo]

In my opinion, this is already looking better. The ork-plaque in the front looks crazy enough... atleast that's what I think.

And the size comparison to the wartrak - I think it's pretty close on the mark ... or what do you think

 

[aaglo]

Here's a Work-In-Process preview of War Scorcha

 

[Stormrage]

.. awesome! all of it! Weeeee!

 

[LMR]

Looks great!
