Building the Freebooter Flotilla

[nethirsalis]

very few of you will know me especially, but I've always been boasting to Alan about the projects that I intend to take on and never do, so I've decided to post evidence of me actually doing one: Warboss Grindahel's flotilla of freebooters, starting with boss Grindahel himself

first few shots of Grindahel's construction, most are a bit blurry

just attatching the legs:

well... what do you think?

Brilliant don't even know where to start to explain how good, are you making some more as I would love to see them up on the forum

[nethirsalis]

my current build list is the Warboss with 4-6 Meganobz, a battlewagon/skullhammer battlefortress 2-4 Trucks and a unit of Killa Kanz.

after that I'm considering a fighta bomber or a gargant. I'll post everything on here anyway as I'm hoping to get a lot more active in the club.

[Dave]

It looks like a big choo-choo train.

Nice work, a great idea since everyone else warboss is gunna be pretty much the black-reach one.

[Fox1]

great work there and a great idea those will be some classy orks:)

[nethirsalis]

Here's the boss with two arms now and some added Dakka! The gun is from the Lootaz box:

The model is nearly finished so any improvement suggestions would be very welcome at this point.

Here's a few shots of my painted models. They're a bit blurry

Well they do look truely awsome , I love how you've sculpted and scratchbuilt that Ork Boss and those other Orks look cool also nice paint job .

[Stan]

looking good!!!

[Jadawi]

I wish i could do that with green stuff :) , looking fantastic mate cant wait to see it in the flesh

[Dan]

I love the novelty smoke launchers on the boss! and those orks look well nice!

[nethirsalis]

unfortunately, due to heavy uni-work I've had to put my projects on hold, the meganobz should be mostly built within two weeks though.

[nethirsalis]

ok, I have an update. anyone who's interested in seeing me build something, I've got a choice between my bioshock style cybork meganobz or Skarbuckz Vipa Flyboyz (fighta-bomberz).

[Jadawi]

As much as id love to see a bioshock cyborg i quitet like the sound of a vypa flyboy

[nethirsalis]

turns out that the vipers are going to need stuff that I don't have access to till I get home, cause they're bloody 'ard ta build. Here's something to keep the thread going:

to those of you evil players who just know inside the last remnants of their souls that they are relying on my nasty little creations to survive that titan legion on apocalypse day, I am pleased to announce that I am once more back in business... albeit with a much smaller build list, the most optimistic estimate puts it at:

1 skullhammer
1 stompa
1 more skullhammer/fighta bomber wing I doubt I can do both
