Rumble or Stumble XXIV - MOAR DAKKA!!

[Hephesto]

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f105/hephesto555666/astro%20competitions/firepower.jpg

There are times, even when you're as cute as the wee lads above, that you just need a little, extra firepower. This situation is mostly likely best summed up by the Orks in the Warhammer 40.000 universe when they violently chant 'MOAR DAKKA'! Automatic firepower can even be considered one of the cornerstones of Orkish culture (if there even is such a thing), bigger and faster really do seem to be better. Not in the least as the Orks need every little advantage to compensate for their lack of aiming ability, then again we needs to aim when you have a minigun :grin:


For the 24th round (wow, 24 already!) we're throwing a little creativity excercise out there using the 'MOAR DAKKA'-theme. How you approach the theme is entirely up to you, anything from an actual Ork blasting away, a cynical cry in the abscence of actual dakka/firepower, an ammo dump objective marker or anything in between will all perfectly suitable! Get creative, get practical or just simple go way overboard!



1. Entries must be a single model.


2. The model must be an infantry/cavalry/bike/jump infantry/vehicle/objective-model smaller than a Superheavy vehicle.


3. One picture of the model unprimed or primed is required.


4. Three 'in progress' shots are required with a short line or two explaining something you have done to the model. Highlighting, shading, drybrushing... you get the idea. That way we can all learn a thing or two from your exploits!


5. 1 - 4 completed shots of you model. If the thread gets too big I will move them to another with just the completed models for judging.


6. The contest will end on March 23th with voting taking place over the weekend of the 24-25th, after which the crew can start planning the next, and already 25th, Rumble or Stumble for April.
(No voting for yourself)

The winner gets an infantry box set of their choosing. Previous winner, Foxy, can enter but can't win this round, but can win next time. Can't have him kicking our collective behinds two months in a row now can we :laugh:

[MMsEldar]

What's that Ork Supa Kannon, you want to be built?

:skrall:

[Alasdhair]

I think I might enter an Eldar Grav support weapon... Is it okay if I enter the crew alongside it? On the grounds that an imperial guard weapons team is three models on a base, whereas a support weapon is on its own and not looking terribly inspiring. Even one of the crew would be fine :) Thanks :)

sounds fine to me :grin:

Ace! Now to get on with it... XD

[Inquisitor Alex]

By a happy coincidence, I got myself a Dreadknight today, so BERSERKER PALADIN TIME !!!

[Orcus]

Well, I'm painting Obliterators anyway, but the buggers take forever, so I might not finish on time. But I've discovered a few trick paintin the first un, so I'll try my best!

[LordCommissar]

Hmm. Land Raider Terminus Ultra, mayhaps?

[Skrall]

I think i'll keep my plan secret, but i shall commit to entering now i'm making a good push on the 40k side of the hobby.

-skrall

[Captain Kellen]

I'm gonna try and build something for this event but my focus on painting has to be in preparation for Adepticon... Soooo...

I'm gonna build an entire ten model unit devoted to more dakka!

I'll be in the corner collecting parts...

CK

[MMsEldar]

Hmmmm... or I could use this, as a starting point for my Tau. Railguns are awesome...

[Captain Kellen]

Hmmmm... or I could use this, as a starting point for my Tau. Railguns are awesome...

Nothing says moar dakka then a suit with four rail guns!

I'll be in the corner... with bitz...

Captain K, please keep the corner out of my head... I may or may not have a 4 railgun Dreadknight battlesuit conversion idea floating around :dakka:

(If you've seen Mobile Suit Gundam 00, imagine Gundam Seravee - 2 Shoulder Mounted, 2 mounted under the arms/against the waist section. Hell, I could add 2 more by mounting them ON the arms themselves... :dakka::dakka::dakka:)

[Inquisitor Alex]

IT HAS BEGUN !

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/Allykz666/BerserkerKnightWIP004.jpg

[Pig]

My idea is a plaintive cry of 'Moar Dakka! Moar Dakka! My Waaaagh for Moar Dakka!' Luckily the box of bits that I bought from a friend has a load of interesting odds and sods in it, and I already have the bare bones of the model put together.

Are there any rules about base size? I want to use a 60mm Dreadnaught base for a model that would ordinarily go on a 40mm base for gaming purposes.

It doesn't really matter though, because I don't stand a chance!

[Captain Kellen]

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTvGrP7tqJTSwwUHlFRa7YFjWYf62kNS SNhMUoSl5mTo1EZ4ipa4A

This is moar dakka... and the guns look cool too!

I'll be in the corner nursing the black eye momma gave me for posting this!

[LutherMax]

Can models completed before the start of the comp be entered? If not I have another one in mind, but the reality is it will probably not be completed...

[Captain Kellen]

Luther... Yes they can. While there are rules they themselves are more like guidlines.

I'll be in some corner... painting...

CK

[Pig]

So, are there any restrictions on base size?

[Tallarn]

So, are there any restrictions on base size?

Base size? I didn't see anything about needing a base? Did you? .... :grin:

[Captain Kellen]

So, are there any restrictions on base size?

Yes... it has to be this big...

http://img.chan4chan.com/img/2010-12-02/1291278776950.jpg

[Hephesto]

Pretty much anything smaller than a Baneblade (pretty much biggest GW kit) will work!

[Foxy]

What to do ? I got a battlewagon to get done and there fairly dakka :dakka:
Or I might have a break from the boyz .
Or I might just sit and watch
:coffee:

[Alasdhair]

Here's my entry :) This is the primed shot :) There is the small conversion of replacing their heads with HE archer heads, but nothing flashy.
http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv178/AlasdhairM/Eldar/P1030179.jpg

[Boycie]

I'm in, well starting off with my primed photo's. Going for Tau Dakka:dakka: Broadside style with slight change to the standard mini, handheld Railguns, an extra knee bend, and plastic large smart missle system. Its no monster with four railguns, but should be able to lay some across the battle-field smack down.

Well best get painting.

Thats a nice gun platform Alasdhair.

It always begins with raw, grey, plastic and metal... parts.

I'll give you two guesses as to what I'm going to build, but I bet you'll only need one.

The corner is calling...

CK

[LutherMax]

Is it......... some space marines?! :laugh:

[Orkgasm]

I think you nailed it Luther! ;)
While I'm tempted to pull some major "Dakka" and paint up a Doomsday Ark with the biggest gun in the game (and as a result, a Ghost Ark), with my airbrush...work, and life, has been incredibly hectic at the moment...I'll be sitting this one out.
Or I could paint up my SAG...been a bit since I've touched me Orks.

*grabs some popcorn*

[Captain Kellen]

Is it......... some space marines?! :laugh:

Psh... space marines is soooo last year... :silly:

[MMsEldar]

No pictures yet, as I can't afford the Rhino till payday... but my entry (provided I don't chicken out at the last bit... since payday will leave me a week to enter :P) shall be

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/supakannon.jpg

Mounted/Magnetised onto this

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/lootedrhino.jpg

(Note, I won't be using the Forgeworld kit... I just needed an Orky pic :P). I'll be making it appear to be open topped at the rear, because I like interior (Soon to be exterior) detail. I'm also considering making 2 Rokkit Launcha sponsons. Because everything needs more Rokkits!

[LutherMax]

Pretty effin' dakka :laugh:

I'm out of this one, didn't seem right to enter a model everyone's seen when most others are doing something new. Next time.... next time.........

[Ossai]

I am entering this with an objective marker that can be used for both my Raven Guard and my Orks :grin:

[Gideon_Not_Ravenor]

Alright well I like being heavy weapons guy:

http://www.gamesprays.com/images/icons/heavy-health-tf2-health-pack-4113_preview.png

WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?!!

And I haven't painted a model in ages so I'll give this one a go with this particular model:

9834
Nothing fancy just one of santa's naughty elves in space! :devil:

I have no idea how I'll paint it but I'm going for a white undercoat.

Edit - stupid photobucket....

[Alasdhair]

There's no way I'll get my models finished by the deadline, I'll have to drop out. Maybe next time, and good luck to all! :)

[Gideon_Not_Ravenor]

Alright some progress from me; the armour got all pink'd up and the metal areas got a boltgun metal coating and silver on top. Washes for the next update and the cloth areas to be made black.


9835

[Pig]

This is the model I plan to enter in the RoS. I like the idea that he has exhausted his supply of ammunition for his big shooty gun (see the spent shells and empty magazines) and has had to resort to using a pair of puny Grot revolvers. He is screaming 'Moar Dakka! For Gork's (or Mork's) sake, someone bring MOAR DAKKA!'


http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/405/rorswip1.jpg
:dakka:

[Orkgasm]

I LOVE IT, PIG!!! :skrall:
A sweet AoBR conversion that is! I really like the spent clips, and ammo. The shoulder plates are a bit much, but hell, he's an Ork...and that would be one wicked tackle he could dish out.
Looking forward to your paint! :grin:

[LutherMax]

Agreed, nice little diorama! Only bit of crit from me – the gun in his left hand looks a bit 'high up' in the pic – i.e. floating slightly. Is that the way it's mounted or just the pic? Or just me? :grin:

[CheeriO]

Pig, that is awesome. I love the attention to detail when it comes to the empty magazines - really nice stuff.
As for the shoulder pads? A man's shoulders can never have enough protection... Or spikes. I like it!

[Pig]

Thanks for all the compliments! Now let's see if I can live up to the hype with my painting!

LutherMax - I'm not sure if it is just the photo, but I will have a good look at the gun/hand join.


A man's shoulders can never have enough protection... Or spikes. I like it!
Cheerio - That is going as my signature! ha!

[Gideon_Not_Ravenor]

That's a great model Pig!

Here's some progress from me (click to enlarge):

9839

Armour is finished and all the metal is done as well as a few chips on the armour. I had a stab at nmm on the gems on the weapon; it didn't work so to you lot it's just wraithbone or something. Also have to do the hair and base the model.

[Pig]

I'm glad that everyone likes my model! I just finished GS work on the back to build a shirt and straps for the shoulder armour.

Edit - WIP photos, as promised.


http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/1214/baseo.jpg

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3118/rorswip3.jpg

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7160/rorswip4.jpg

The base is all finished, mainly being painted, stippled, dry brushed and washed with Fortress grey/ black mixes over a black undercoat. The shells were painted in Tin Bitz and highlighted with Dwarf Bronze. The gun was painted in a mixture of metals, and washed with Badab black (on the stock end,) Baal red (on the barrels) and Devlan mud pretty much everywhere.

I have put a base coat of Calthan Brown on the trousers, Knarloc Green on the flesh, and a blue basecoat mixed from Necron Abyss and Skull White on the tabard. The Bad Moon icon is base coated with Iyanden Darksun and Dheneb stone for the teeth and eyes.

I am a little bit confused as to what colours to use now that I have built that massive shoulder armour harness! I am thinking Boltgun Metal for the rounded shoulder pads with curved spikes, the outside of the exterior top shoulder pads, the middle bit with the icon pole sticking out of it, and the under layer of the interior shoulder pad, and dirtied yellow for the interior spiky bit of the exterior top shoulder pads and the top layer of the interior shoulder pads. I hope that makes sense!

I'm looking forward to seeing more entries.

[Orkgasm]

Told ya the Devlan/Baal Red combo would work a treat on those metallics...that base is looking awesome, Pig! I'm sure the rest of the model will follow suit!
:skrall:

[Pig]

Indeed you did Orkgasm, indeed you did. Thanks for the compliment and vote of confidence.

I give you the next step in the process - If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me know. Otherwise it is just some last minute fixing-upping left for me to do.

[Gideon_Not_Ravenor]

Alright I'm done. (click to enlarge)



9840

Bit of mesy blood on the base; a bit darker than usual to represent poison in the blood of the victim(s). I don't think I've done much that no one else couldn't do.

Back of him:
9841

quite pleased with it; can't wait for the next one! I've been so long not doing any painting I'm quite glad I can sort of still do it.:dakka:

Thanks Nomad - I look forward to seeing your model when you post pictures.

Nice work too from Gideon and Skrall. There are fewer entries than I was imagining, but it looks like we have a little bit of a Rumble going on!

With regret... my project is not going to see the light of day... I'm out for this one.

I'll be in other corners... lamenting this round...

Hope I'm not too late...

Ded Eye Git.
Ded eye, ex-loota, is a Flash Git who got enough teef together from his looting to get his favourite big shota really tooled up. Not only has it got Moar Dakka, it is shootier and blastier as well. He has a hard wired Git finder installed in his Dead Eye...

Thanks Luther. Looking at the pics though, he really should have a cigar.

Good to see you back in the scrap Gideon.

[Orcus]

Looking good fellas, I wish I had entered something, but its taken me forever to paint one Oblit.

[Pig]

Well, I think my entry is finished now. I added another layer to the highlights on the skin, with more Bleached bone in the Knarloc Green. I tried to shade the teeth and claws a bit more, finished the skull on the base (forgot about it entirely in the last photos,) and tidied up a couple of things that needed it. Without any more preamble, here are the pictures.

Hmmm... this is gonna be another tough call........

Might not be the time or thread to say but I wonder Pig if your ork skin could do with a couple o' washes? In these pics it looks a bit pale. You may be going for that look and if so ignore me, it does look well painted. I'm just thinking would a Thraka Green and Gryphonne Sepia wash give it more... oomph?

[Nomad]

Nomad - that is some serious Dakka! I like the glowing effect on his snazzgun. Nice work there. What is your technique for Ork skin?

Thanks mate, yours is looking pretty great also.

Ork skin -
Dark angels green base coat.
DAG + Yellow - Highlight
Add more yellow - Highlight
Add more yellow - Highlight.
Green wash
DAG + yellow - Highlight
(repeat a couple more times)
Add a touch of white to above mix - extreme highlight.
Wash Blue
Wash Yellow
Wash Devlan mud.

Or something like that... Finish with glaze layers.

[MMsEldar]

I'll be stepping out of this one, I just haven't found the time/effort to fix up the mounting for the Supa Kannon this week.

Nearly done ladies and gentlemen, about half a day left for late entries. After that we'll get started on the voting!

I am a bit sad that there were so many people having to abandon their entries, but I am pleased with the quality of the ones that did turn up to Rumble.

Nice work on that Ork Foxy - I like the way you do the Death Skull checks, and your technique for Ork skin also looks great.
