The idea of fixing a broken claw by chain strapping a bigger claw to it is maybe the most orkish thing I have ever seen. Incredible. 😂
@Sturmensky11 ай бұрын
Really love how that turned out. As a boring old Imperial player, seeing orky shenanigans always entertains me, because it's a perpetual "what are they going to- *no way*!" Also quite like the colours - especially the way you did the metals. Somehow it feels very dynamic without being overstated.

He doesn't have to be "growing" out the lil' tank. Its perfectly normal for a Mek/Dog to "improve" a subject. I wouldn't be surprised if he went to the Dok and ended up getting his legs amputated and fitted to the machine. Then charged a fistful o' teef for the convenience, of course.

It's a little comforting to see someone else with a hobby space that is a cluttered pile of "I don't have time or energy to take care of this". Hobbies often take a back seat to life, and that's fine. But sometimes I look at my space and feel bad. I have to remind myself that there is a good reason it's the way it is, and that it's ok.

Oh, 100% THIS! I'm at the point where my brain opts to pretend it doesn't exist when I look at the room. Cleaning? Yup, dusted the table, vacuumed the floor, nothing else going o- what do you mean my painting pad is a chaotic jumble of mixed colours, half-finished models, and paints whose organization only I can ken?

It always amazes me how much work we can get done in like a 2X2 space. Everything else can be fully cluttered, but we only need the edge of the desk lol. Getting messy is just life, it will get cleaned up eventually, so nothing to worry about, and I think that's more people than you realize. Most hobbyists have a pretty messy space from what I've seen.

Epic upgrade to an awesome kitbash model concept. One piece of friendly criticism: the treads aren't believable because of the way you painted them. And maybe you knew this but didn't want to spend the time. It might make sense for the edges of the treads to be rusty but since they are constantly moving, they would be constantly rubbing off any of the corrosion that tries to build up. The trad pads would absolutely be "clean" and would more than likely be a black rubber or worn, dark metal. The tread pads wouldn't have any dust buildup at all if they were in use. Again, I love the build and paint job and your videos always inspire me to take a second look at my old sprues and cast-aside WIPs!

Thanks! I use searches like 40k orks, or Warhammer Ork, pretty simple ones. It's the sorting at the end that gives you the better results. I usually sort by lowest price, buy it now, used, and then if I want to go even deeper I will use the side options to sort by painted/built, damaged/missing pieces, that sort of thing. You can get down to some pretty good stuff like that, and then set up saved searches so you don't have to put all of that stuff in every time, just click the "cheap ork" button and there ya go!

"Believability"? The word you're looking for there is verisimilitude.
@eBayMiniatureRescues11 ай бұрын
Sort of, verisimilitude would imply I want literal realism out of the piece, or for the model to look more real in terms of the way you see in our reality, metals look like real metal, skin looks like real skin, etc... What I mean when I say believability is that this mini, with the conversions, size, and scale, looks more believable in the fantasy world of Warhammer 40k. It could be painted like a cartoon, but the model itself needs to be believable for the world it lives in.
