More Dynamic Orks and plastic TankBustas - 40K Terra

Ion Raptor · 11-02-2007

As my ongoing Dawn of War Diorama plugs along I found that I just couldn't stand to ruin it by putting the horribly posed Ork minis on it, I couldn't stand to have the beasty Orks charging downhill in slumped squating positions.

So I did something about it!

1. First you need to get a pair of sprue cutters or a hobby knife of some sort and cut the legs like so

2. Take a pin vise and drill holes where you will put your pins

3. Now you need a pait of pliers with wire cutters built in and a paper clip. Cut off a bit of the clip, this may take some practice to get the right length. Just start big and work your way smaller, dry fitting as you go in order to get things the right size.

4. Once those are in place and you have the legs set to where you want them, super glue the pins in place to the legs.

5. After the glue dries take some Green Stuff and slowly rebuild the upper sections of the legs, after your all done you should have something like this:

!WARNING! This method is only to be done when you plan on having slopes on your bases, as you can see the feet are still bent, just make a slope on your base out of whatever basing material is at hand and you'll be all set

Plastic Tank Bustaz:

I also didn't want to spend a lot of money on TankBustaz that had the same bland poses, so I took some spare bitz and made my own

1. You will need the following pieces:
-Two/Three Orky shields these will have wood on the backs of them and metal on the front, They come in two sizes, big and small. You should try and get 2 big and one small, but failing that the one big and one small works too
-A small bit to go in the middle of the bomb, The one I use looks like a knob but I have no clue where it comes from
-Some sort of handle for the ork to grap onto with
-And an Ork arm with an easily removable choppa like the one shown

2. Glue the round pieces woodside down onto each other and glue the knob in the middle. After that is done then glue your handle to the top, SIMPLE!

3. It's just a simple matter of cutting off the choppa and subbing in the bomb, then build the rest of your Ork as you please.

That should make my younger brother and my life much easier. You should see all the Grreenstuff we had to put on his converted metal Tank Busta'!

This would work well to show my baby sis how to convert orkses!

sweet stuff man!

hairyyahoo · 11-02-2007

that is a very cool guide. would it be too much to ask for a scale pic of this one standing next to an unconverted ork? i imagine the repositioning of the legs makes the quite a bit taller.
