Yes, my Mouser...

How old are you love this... http://quindiastudios.blogspot.com/2014/04/building-imperial-warden.html?showComment=1396910294829#c4349331689362925979

I haven't spent that many brain cells on it to be honest.

Is there a difference? not that I'm biased...

Go with a). Poke around online for not-lasguns, or just go with hth armed gors (pistols are easy to find). Sprinkle kroot bits in with them, or just use kroot guns. http://maxmini.eu/conversion-bits/ballistic-weapons/t-guns-bits better yet http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=60_87 Don't be afraid of the postage, it's not bad. Don't spend time "converting" cultists. Kitbashes would look just fine with more attention paid to leaders. Just remember how many you have to make.

I'm changing the title of this thread to "i should be working" Here's the bare minimum costs for this build. It does include door gunners, but no interior crew. Dorsal turret was downgraded to the Storm Talon chin gun, a little sleeker and $13 cheaper. I'd have to scratch build the canopy (maybe cast it if I had a geek swat team beating down the door). We have enough talent that I figure I'll share what I've figured out see what we all come up with. Stormtrooper Valkyrie Parts Source Costs TOP VENTS Hoard O Bits $ 1.16 REAR CABIN Hoard O Bits $ 8.99 LANDING GEAR Hoard O Bits $ 2.69 HEAVY BOLTERS Hoard O Bits $ 2.96 GUNNERS Hoard O Bits $ 7.19 COCKPIT ASSEMBLY Hoard O Bits $ 2.24 DARK TALON - WINGS Hoard O Bits $ 8.99 HAMMERHEAD GUNSHIP - LANDING GEAR Hoard O Bits $ 2.24 HAMMERHEAD GUNSHIP - ENGINES Hoard O Bits $ 8.99 STORMTALON GUNSHIP - ASSAULT CANNON ASSEMBLY Hoard O Bits $ 3.59 Total $ 49.04 Any poor soul who's still interested would be a guinea pig for the first build, whenever that happens... Drop the door gunners and the bare costs drop to ~$40...

Got a link?

Sooo sourcing the parts is getting sticky, the rub is the valkyrie canopy. If you can find them they are going for $15+. What I'd have to say is that this point I'd need to start with a valkyrie kit and add parts (mucho $) or go with a non clear canopy...this would save some $ on interior detail as well.

What's the MDF vehicle in the last pic?

Just a heads up to interested folks, I do have some commitments on the table, plus a sluggeshly low turnaround time, with my own projects and family stuff. If you are in a hurry I'd be happy to offer ideas.

At just a first parts tally the parts would cost about the same as a new valkyrie. The biggest change would be to use different wings (either off the Dark Talon or Ork Bommer, ommiting the tail booms and dorsal engines, then adding tau devilfish engines to the wing tips. To go all out would be to place a turrent (storm raven, razorback?) on the top and drop the cheek guns. Of course if someone had an already assembled kit it could be cut apart...

One of my daily webstops is Concept Ships, great for cool images and modeling ideas. Today I've seen what I think would be a super cool Stormtrooper Valkerie. Credit: https://www.facebook.com/RobertsSpaceIndustries I'd love build this but I don't have a direct use, if someone is interested I'll build it for fun if you cover the parts costs.

I think with the right WFB Empire heads these would look good as Knight household troops, like men at arms guys. In that context I like the techn-archic armor plates.

Cool. What exactly are you feeding your FB? Kibbles & Bytes?

Bikers are cool. Solid and tough, good johnny on the spotters, plus Chaos Marines in Leather jackets are cool...

For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to model Grot tanks for Speed Freeks, little tanks just wouldn't look right then whammo! Armored Cars. Duh.

I'm on the fence about making some generic tires, roughly the same sizes as the trukk and battlewagon ones, but less orky. If folks are interested I'll move forward... Leave a comment...

My core Ork Army is Evil Sunz, I like lots of mek and vehicle action. But I also want a variety of modeling opportunities. I've been trying to find a way to shoehorn in other clanz without having a whole bunch of redundant models. The idea I've been going with so far is that any other clanz could just be warbands, specific units that would just be thematically the same, but just taken as normal Org choices. A couple of examples I'm gearing up for are Snakebites (Fantasy Boyz and Squiggoths) and Blood Axes (Russian Tanks and Grot Tanks and Artillery). I've also had a hankerin to do some Tau-Looted ork models, like a band that has been scrappin with the Farsight Enclave for a while and picked up some tech. My current idea is to do a Wazdakka gang with grav bikers. How about you? Are you mono-clan or ADD?

Except that I have other things I'd rather have in my FA slots. Buggies and bikers for instance. If I had the open slot and the spare points in a list then sure, but I'm not making them a first line choice.

I can bring 1500pts of Orks

Weirdboy!
