I have a Big Mek that needs some paint (and maybe maybe a little green stuff first) and a Trukk to give my second Boyz squad a lift. I'd also like to revisit my Mek to make him a little more 'Blood Axe' and get some varnish and decals on the Inceptors to finish them off. Oh, and the same for those Outriders. Yeeeeees! what were you thinking on doing to make him more 'Blood Axe'?

It is tricky little model as there are only really his trousers to add any klan-related colour. I like the brown I used but he's going to get something camo instead. And a banner.

space wolf Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Is it the standard Mek boy, big mek, big mek in mega armor? Just asking...I love brainstorming these kind of things. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6189690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Boltgun Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 I've got the Mek Boy to update and the Big Mek yet to be started. The Mek Boy is going to get new keks and a banner, the Big Mek is going to need some thinking about. Like you, I enjoy the thought process Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6189734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) Pardon my really basic phone paint skills. But what if this big mek...with all big machine glory, fancies himself as a sniper? So he could have a sniper like zapgun, telescopic goggles...and an orcish type guilly(sp?) Suit. The suit could basically be the orc shoving branches in his clothes ans pouches and stuff...effective but hilarious...and you could always give him...purple accents, if you felt so inclined.

Rusted Boltgun Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 I like your idea @space wolf but maybe I'll keep that in the back pocket for a different mini - I reckon pink cherry blossom would be the ideal foliage. I've had my Big Mek a while and have his weapons magnetised (because... indecisive) but was never happy with his left arm - despite reinforcement, the magnetic force wasn't strong enough to balance the outstretched arm. So I have removed the previous magnet, drilled the body out more and put in two slightly larger magnets this time. Test fittings were OK, waiting on the gs to cure now... 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6189789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Yep magnetizing can be a real bear! Ive just mainly stopped doing it altogether.

Rusted Boltgun Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 And a mock up Need to matte and dirty up the banner, shade the camo trousers and we are done. When I get my new glasses and brushes later this month, I might attempt some details on the face. 6 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6189873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Wait I don't get it? Why did you just take a photo of the bottom of some blue box? I think you forgot to add the miniature...? 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6189889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I nearly started an Ork force because of that model! Just so characterful. Yours is coming along nicely. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6190936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted Friday at 04:28 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:28 PM I'm a fan of this model, but I've never seen one in person. Is he roughly the size of a nob?

Rusted Boltgun Posted Saturday at 08:22 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 08:22 AM In the absence of a comparable model, I have borrowed a ruler from Jr. His pose makes him wide, hence a 50mm base that he just fits on with those armoured bootees. The chunky power pack on his back adds a bit of depth too but he's most imposing when viewed from the front. There are so many details I can barely see, let alone paint. I'm hoping new glasses arriving next week help. I wish I'd left his other arm off to paint him as it is a struggle to reach some areas but, from memory, it might have been difficult to do so and it helped me with magnetising the weapon options though I overcomplicated that - there was no need to make the trigger section a separate element. I haven't decided which of the two head options to use so I'm painting both and, like the last Mek, working out where to add some Blood Axe elements. He comes with a 'boss pole' but really deserves a banner.... 2 1 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6191084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgersinHills Posted Saturday at 07:13 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:13 PM Very nice work! I really like the paper banner on the mek. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/20/#findComment-6191108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
