Rescuing The WORST Warhammer Mini on eBay…AGAIN!

[@PureMetalDragon]

I love how both Stompas look side by side, with one yellow with red accent with a grabby arm coming out of his belly, like he's ready to collect all the scrap on the battlefield, and the other red with yellow accent, with this massive amount of guns shoved in it, ready to make more scrap. Da Great Wreckeata and the Da Big Scrapmaka!

I dunno why, but the ork in the crows nest really does it for me. It just immediately pulls this narrative in my mind of the little guy calling out targets to the gun crews... the giant stompa laboriously turning, before unleashing an entirely unreasonable amount of firepower downstream. Its a great touch, and putting those models up there and along the scaffolding really gives scale to the whole thing.

[@philipj.sechow7118]

I think it would have been really funny to stick an ork arm with a shoota out from the belly like one of the orks got excited and stuck it through the wall of guns so he could do some blasting of his own!

[@dddaaa6965]

@@noneofyourbusiness4133 yes

[@hmmm348]

Really enjoyed this. I also felt originally disappointed you didn't do the original stompa with Dakka crammed in the middle. Glad you revisited the concept. That video inspired me to get back into the hobby though. I bought a cheap vindicator someone had attempted to convert into a battlewagon using far too much superglue and half covered in house paint. I cleaned everything off (mostly, still need to do a final clean) and combined it with a base battlewagon I had that was missing the Ard case and killcanon upgrades. The resulting kit-bash resulted in a front that vaguely resembles a vindicator, with front tracks flipped over and exhausts removed, flipped and attached to one side, the canon sits above the front square amor plates which rest almost perfectly over the battlewagons grill, which I had to separate and reposition (most of the original battlewagon is still there, but had to be separated and moved). Naturally I added sharp pointy bits to those armor plates, turning them into teef. I used remaining armor and plasticard to create an Ard case which I can slot in and out at the back like the official ones. My biggest frustration at the moment is I'm in this weird situation where I'm vaguely uncertain as to whether it's finished or not. Or whether I need to start adding a few final panels, do my rivets and a final clean and start painting. It's hard to know when a custom piece is finished. It's a little frustrating.

[@bumblingbongo7969]

ork stuff exists in this superposition of both its done and it still needs more. when you think about it

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That sounds like a great project, and welcome back! Way to dive in head first too :) It’s always super hard to know when it’s “done” especially for ork stuff. Even doing this stomps I was questioning myself up until the end on whether or not to add more stuff, but at the end of the day I could sit back and say, yeah, that looks sweet, and that has always been a good indicator for me to just stop and appreciate what a model is. And honestly, you can always go back even after it’s painted to add more stuff :)

[@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun]

So, ai know thos is a year late, but for anyone else struggling with this; I don't assemble or paint minis, but as a model artist in general, if you feel you can't decide whether it's finished or not, take a small break and see how you feel when coming back to it. I have ruined many a project by deciding it was finished too early or butchering an already decent job by thinking it was unfinished. Right now I'm having to restart my E2046 GK contest entry from near scratch because it's just got too much paint on it as a result of bad design and repaint choices lol

[@hmmm348]

Thanks for your reply! I think I will revisit it again. I think I actually went overboard with the paint and am rethinking painting it to have a few patches of Ultramarine colours, but otherwise go hard with bare metal and rubbed back rust

[@Sturmensky]

Extremely happy you revisited the concept! While the original rescue looked gorgeous, it's joyous seeing the spirit of our neon lord rising once more! I think you did a masterful job revisiting it. This job really strikes me as a proper homage to the original.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Very much appreciated! Im really happy that I was able to get to it sooner than later. I just happened across another stomps and it made perfect sense!

[@Sturmensky]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Funny how it works out, eh? Speaking of, I'm glad you included that bit about how long and expensive this build was. I think it's easy for us viewers to sometimes lose perspective on how intensive these rescues can be. So, especially on a video related to such a, uh, "contentious" build, it's good to be reminded that this is a genuine investment on your part - both in time and money; and you aren't making these decisions willy-nilly. Wholly unrelated to that: I really liked the spears. Not only practical for the build's structural integrity, but they make nice stabba sticks. Extra useful for keeping shiny boyz away from the big shootas!

[@alexdoran527]

Amazing work Casey. I like how the two Stompas look similar enough that they look like they belong in the same game and army, but different enough to sell the crazy, chaotic nature of the Orks. It's a tough balancing act but done perfectly here!

It's completely, unequivocally beyond reason, _and it's beautiful. _*_It's perfect._* Also, i love how the left arm's flamer probably stopped working at some point, and the Orks just retrofitted the weapon with a pointy stick.

ALL DA DAKKA!!!! That is how you do a "propa orky" stompa. I collect orks myself and this has reinspired me to to try and make a battlewagon using a monster truck model for my Rednekz ork army.

[@kailashblades]

Might sound strange but I think while this is great work and clearly a technically superior model there's a certain magic and energy to the original which hasn't translated over. I understand the desire to tone down the scale of the guns and use symmetry to help give the additional weaponry an air of authenticity but as it currently stands it's almost the only symmetrical part on the model. In a way compared to the ramshackle outer plating , random exhaust and one sided crows nest it almost makes the guns fit the model LESS. The way everything tesselates so nicely almost makes it look like it belongs on a space marine vehicle rather than a scrapped together ork behemoth. I think seeing the art of the original maker really helps to understand the manic, overwhelming effect he was going for in the original. Rather than a compartment opening to reveal a stack of large guns it more looks some kind of junkyard chestbuster scene. The guns breeding and swarming organically in the chest then exploding their way out, frantically reaching forward like a nest full of baby birds. Much like his drawings, the mind boggles to make sense of it. Again- great work but maybe something else to try for round 3!

Tip for ya man. After years of experimenting with stripping plastic I actually found 1 thing that works and works well but it is ONLY this 1 product. Cutex Acetone Free. Its a browny orange colour, leave it in for half an hour, pull it out then scrub off the paint with an tooth brush ((one thats quite chunky and thick would help more)). This is how I resurrected all my original 2nd ed minatures from when I first started :) For metal though you need celulose thinners ((car paint stripper)).

[@peterkantor9494]

I am making some shroudrunners out of some rogue trader era harlequin jetbikes and 2nd ed lasgun guardians I found in my bits box. I am making magnetised platforms for the sniper on the back and magnetised bases and heavy weapon mounts so they can function as normal jetbikes too. I find the idea of fielding 30 year old miniatures satisfying.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Very cool! I also like to field super old models, it’s super satisfying to see a whole army like that on the table. My Eldar are all from the mid 90s :)

[@jaratt85]

This is where getting models of MLRS and artillery pieces and anything with tons of missiles (maybe even a Titan II or Minuteman model) would come in handy for just adding massive amount of ordinance all over it. Orks really offer up the chance for kit bashing at it's best. (Chaos on the other hand is best for sculptors that want to make the sickest demons ever)

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I use a degreaser that is pretty much water, like 99%, and it’s totally safe to dispose of down the drain. The paint that gets removed is also pretty safe, and non toxic, it will all dissolve eventually and get treated at the nearest water treatment center. Honestly the amount of waste we produce as hobbyists is so small compared to almost any other hobby, we aren’t the ones doing bad things to the environment. I mean we keep our plastic and recycle the packaging it comes in, so right there we’re in the positive!

That, or a nob with a giant Fallout style power fist who has to punch the back of a mega tank shell twice the size of himself as a titan-killer kind of weapon!
