Pumpwagons Redux, BIG'UNS

Some updates (finally!)...

Not being 100% satisfied with my first pumpwagon attempt, I broke it down and tried it again. With the help of many bits from a recent gamer's sale, I was able to put something together that feels more orc-like:



















I may remove the standard but am not sure...I may also remove the spikes on the side of the left pumpwagon. They look like guns to me:














The trick will be to somehow get snotling models for the crew.

The same gamer's garage sale allowed me to acquire the proper bits to make a good Big'Uns unit. In addition to jaws and shoulder armor, I placed some plasticard under their feet so they appear taller. Normal Orc, Big'Un, new plastic Black Orc (thanks Marc!) and Grimgor on the end, just for comparison.











The Big'Uns ranked up. I'm excited to paint this unit as I think they'll stand out nicely.

Chity chity bang bang

Here's the beginnings of my scratch-built Snotling Pump Wagon. Built from some random chariot parts, sprue and plasticard, this is my first attempt of two.







Not sure if I'm 100% happy with this version, but maybe the 2nd version will yield good results.









With it's 50mm base, and dead horse/obstacle...

Giant Progress

Well, progress on the Giant. Along with a few other small items. A shot of my conversion on the Giant...to make him suitably Orcy...









And an Orc Shaman - which I'd like to jazz up somehow...

And a River Troll for good measure.


Next up on the event calendar, possibly 2250 at the Bunker on the 16th...and 2500 on the 25, assuming my schedule allows.
