brettfp's Kult of Speed - Waaagh Sparktoof (Update Nov 6)

[brettfp]

I'm loving the buggy. It looks pretty mean. Are you still going to be adding things to the back? It looks like the pole is a mount for a gun to be added in the future.

Thanks. You're correct! It is a gun mount. If you scroll back a few posts you'll see it assembled but unpainted, there's a driver and a gunner but its easier to paint them separately :) 

[Magos Takatus]

Oh yes. I didn't spot that one the earlier picture. That gunner looks like he's really enjoying himself! I look forward to seeing the end result. :)

[DaBoiKyknos]

Well, I finished the body and chassis of 'Da Rumbla'

(...)

Any thoughts??

 

It looks a bit like a lawnmover to be honest... 

[Calyptra]

I was a bit confused about which end was the front until I spotted the helpful arrow.

 

I love it.

[brettfp]

I finished painting 'Da Rumbla'

 

Very happy with how it turned out, plus the bits for my second one arrived today

 

I also made a start on some stormboyz

 

It's amazing how a tiny bit of conversion and kitbashing gives far more dynamic and interesting poses than what's on the box!!

Here's the test smoke trail I made for them

 

wasn't sure how they'd turn out, but I think I should use them

 

Also, the start of my Nob

Points for anyone who can figure out where I'm going with this guy

I don't really see it, but....ok. does it look less like a lawnmower with a driver and gunner?

I love it.

Thanks, Yeah, that arrow is probably for the driver. haha!!

[Kaldoth]

Really good work man! Loving the unique bikers, especially the Snake Bite. Can't wait to see what you do with a Blood Axe biker. Keep it coming!

[Thousand Eyes]

Some really fun and nice conversions there. The buddy in particular looks ace, loving the gear shift.

[brettfp]

I finished another stormboy

I'm thinking of calling them Git and Gob

 

I've also finished the Stormboy Nob

May I introduce 'Tony Stork: Iron Nob'

 

I also got one painted

really happy with it. doing this one has helped figure out how to paint the rest of them

 

I've also done some work on a second buggy 'Skull Squisha'

 

and the gunner

 

C&C Welcome

Thanks, yeah I've got something planned for the Blood Axe

Thanks, yeah I got all ratfink with it!

[Noeh]

I approve of stormgrotz. So much so. I still need to make the other 3-4 of mine lol

[brettfp]

Got another buggy done: 'Skull Squisha'

 

These orks seem a bit crazier than the ones in 'Da Rumbla'

Grots are great, I've seen your thread and you clearly feel the same

[Claws and Effect]

Can't wait to see Tony Stork painted.

 

You should consider a Stormvoy inspired by The Rocketeer as well :)

[Aothaine]

Very nice stuff! I am thinking about going pens myself. Cult of speed is where it is at for me to. I’ll be running 90 storm boys, 30 shootas, four weirdbous and four dakkajets. This would be the starting force. Something I am still so surprised at is just how expensive irk armies are to build. It is crazy. The list I just stated is over $900 just for the miniatures

[brettfp]

Quick update:

 

Finished the paintjob on the second buggy

 

Just have the driver and gunner left. for the record the canopy isn't glued on yet so I can get the driver in. :)

 

I've almost finished Tony Stork, might be done by tomorrow. will have pics up soon-ish

 

Can't wait to see Tony Stork painted.

I had to look up the rocketeer, but yeah, maybe when I make another batch :)

[brettfp]

May I introduce..."Tony Stork: Da Iron Nob"

 

Really happy with him. getting the smoke trails to line up was a bit of a pain. I feel like it comes across pretty well what he's supposed to be.

 

I also bought some burnas and made a start

 

The first one is just stock standard, the second one has has a bigger fuel pack and the last one is a head/leg swap. I've found it's hard to do too much converting with the burnas, because of the way they are built. 

 

I also built a spanner

 

I feel like his one eye kinda makes him look a bit squig-y

 

As always, C&C much appreciated :)

[brettfp]

Finished my stormboyz finally! :)

 

 

 

These guys were really fun to paint, I'm really happy with the dynamic poses I managed.

Here's a shot of the squad

 

 

As always, C&C welcome :)

[Thousand Eyes]

Liking the spanner, I think the head works for it as is.

 

Nice job on the stormboyz, now just make about 15 more of them ;)

[brettfp]

Finally finished my second buggy: 'Skull Squisha'

 

Not much to say really, It was a bit of a pain getting the gunner securely attached. But i'm happy with how it turned out, all hot rod-y

 

I've finished building my Big Mek

 

He's mostly made from Nob, his head is from the burnas kit and the KFF is mostly made deffgun bits. I'm really happy with his pose and level of detail. still need to think of a name for him. Any suggestions?

 

On the subject of meks, I decided to change up my spanner a bit (annoyingly after I'd already started painting) I pulled his backpack off and am gonna replace it with a killsaw I built strapped to his back.

 

Finished the last burna too.

 

He's holding some piece of weird tech he's found, maybe the Big Mek will appreciate it?

 

As always, C&C most welcome

Thanks, yeah, I like the kinda squig-y look. Yes I do need more, they don't tend to last very long, just need to think of more conversions first ;)

[Are Verlo]

I turn green with envy. I love the creative work you put into the orks.

[brettfp]

Quick Update, started work on my deffkopta

 

The plan is to make it look something like the gyrocopter from Mad Max 2

 

I also finished painting the spanner a few weeks ago but forgot to put up a photo

 

Thoughts?

Ha, I see what you did there :) Thanks, I try my best

[brettfp]

So turns out I worked pretty quickly today and finished the deffkopta :)

 

 

I'm liking this guy, He seems like a happy little speed freak :)

[brettfp]

Yesterday, My wife gave me an early Christmas present... A Gorkanaut, So I spent most of yesterday working on it

 

Since I'm doing Kult of Speed I did my best to make it look like he's running, It kinda comes across but there's only so much movement in the limbs.

I also added a bunch of banners and boss poles and as many exhausts as I could, because every Ork knows the more exhausts you have, the bigger you're engine!! :)

 

There are a few other bits hanging on an angle to try and show movement that didn't really show up in the photos.

 

Today, My parents got me the Kult of Speed box, which is soooo good. I've strated work on my Battlewagon/Mobile Mek Shop

 

As you can see I've added a KFF and altered the back slightly, to make more room for the Mek Shop part, I've got a lot of ideas for this thing, But i think this will be a long project with LOTS of detail. Hopefully it will almost be a diorama on its own :)

 

As always, C&C Much appreciated!!

[brettfp]

Quick Update

 

I finished painting the Deffkopta

 

 

I also did some more work on my Battlewagon, The mobile Mek Shop

 

 

Thoughts?

[brettfp]

I was planning on putting these up the other day but I forgot. I got the GS work done on the front of the Gorkanaut

 

I have actually started painting it but I don't really like putting up half done bits, but I have finished painting the head and the right arm

 

As well as being red, the head has racing stripes so this thing is super fast!!

 

I also did the other arm

 

If you look closely you can see that one of the gunners instruments screens isn't working properly

 

Happy with the amount of battle damage on these, hopefully it all comes together nicely!

 

Thoughts?

[Magos Takatus]

Very nice start on the Gorkanaut. I'm loving the BSOD on the gun arm. You're making me want to get started on the Morkanaut left undercoated in a box somewhere. :)

[DaBoiKyknos]

Finished my stormboyz finally!

 

The one with the scarf on his face and the slugga looks so gangsta!
