EXCUSE ME EVERYBODY PLEASE LOOK AT THIS LITTLE GUY I AM MAKING
He's a kitbashed Mekboss and he's been my Canon OC Warboss for like 10 years but this is the first time I've had the balls to try and make him. Hes not done yet but holy shit I'm happy so far.
His name is Ushbek, and I stole him from some 3e lore. He's the first ork to make a Gargant after seeing a Warlord titan for the first time. For my army he's taken a knights machine spirit and shoved it inside his own cybork body and it handles his weapons systems, furious that it must work under the thumb of this ignorant Xeno.
Small boy! He's mostly just mozrog's torso and a bunch of armiger bits rolled together at this stage.
More body from this session, trying to get the pose right but his legs are too LONG and he can't stand up.
No amount of greenstuff could hold him up!
So I used a plane and another ork.
He calls himself a mek, but has no massive grabbing klaw? Shame! Shame upon him!
I sent these with a bunch of other minis to the Rolling with Difficulties PO box. They are Ancient Drones from @comicaurora 's comic and the designs she didn't use and shared here
Austin said the box was opened and shown to everyone on RWD so I shouldn't be ruining the surprise. Make sure Austin remembers to get them to you Red.
For the rest of you the model is free to download and print from Thingiverse and Printables
Helldivers 2 is pretty great. I'm a really big fan of (Verhoevan) Starship Troopers, and I feel like I could write a whole essay about how "seen" I feel with this game. I do love that this game has resurrected the old discourse about the film, some things never change
My friend got me the game after he found out I hadn't been on it yet, declaring it "made for me" and "wtf are you doing", and yeah he's right. Thanks Gman
Yada Yada for Democracy, feet first into hell, c'mon you apes, all that jazz
Got pics of the boy! Really happy with how this one came out, especially the shimmery scales. I'm also really happy with how absolutely squelching he looks.
Tried to capture the color-shift properties of the metallics (Don't mind my shaky hand lol). I used a green/yellow paint as the base, then did a few layers of silver/magenta paint just on top.
The figure comes from the Monster Hunter: World board game.
More pics after the break!
Though the mud on the fish was part of the original sculpt, the base was mostly just flat. I decided to sculpt some more mud to go with the mud already on him! After painting I added some fake pooling water to complete the look.
My wife suggested I throw a little grass in the pools of water. It was the right choice tbh
