WH40K - John Woo slugga boy



I made this guy a couple of years ago, but only just got around to painting him. Inspired by countless John Woo movies - and well before The Matrix, you have to imagine him yelling, "Waaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhh!!!" in slow motion, sluggas blazing as he leaps.

WH40K - Kaptin, Kannon and Krew - Painted




Here they are, painted and sprayed with 'Purity Seal' (matt varnish - hides a multitude of sins).

Kaptin, Kannon and Krew



I have found a use for the Iron Gobs that I never used on my Orks in Mega Armour - decoration for some Kannon. (Zap Guns, judging by the Imperial Lascannon barrels).

The Krew member - or is he a gun grot? - is standing on a plastic cog I found in something, plus assorted bits.
I had bought two boxes of Kommandos, meaning I had two Kommando bosses. The first one now has a Nob arm holding a Kustomized Shoota, with old style sluggas on his back.


The head of the second one was donated to a Nob with a Mega Armour shoota and the warboss' Chain Axe.



Finally, this is the Kaptin of the Battle Barge, from the following bits:
- Kommando Kaptin body,
- head from a Nob, with greenstuff eyepatch (Arrr!)
- poweraxe from a Nob, carved into a wrench,
- plastic dreadnought kneepad on his shoulder with Mek symbol in thin plastic,
- old style slugga and plastic pouches on his back/belt,
- some bullets and the pistol removed,
- assorted bits, including another plastic cog for that 'spare parts' feel.

Look for these guys - when I get around to painting them - in the Gallery on http://www.astronomican.com

WH40K - Painboss



... and here he is:

Body of an Ork Nob, with arms from the new Kommando Kaptin (yes, I bought two - one to lead a new Kommando Mob and one to be Kaptin of the Battlebarge). His right hand also includes an old plastic chainsword, a knife blade from a new Kommando and the claw from the Ork Dreadnought.
The surgical mask is greenstuff. More practice needed there, but I am pleased with the effect.
