Afterwards, digging through the boxes where my Orks have been stored, I found these three disreputable characters the LobbaвЂ™s crew. Until next time вЂ“ cheers for reading!ДЄfter last weekвЂ™s release of the Mek Guns I uploaded some pics of my own Lobba conversion (to be found here). What do you think? Did I lose my head on this one (boom boom) or have I fixed вЂim up good? As always IвЂ™m happy to hear your thoughts so keep them coming. The new mekвЂ™s tools, swiped from the mega-nobs kit, really fit the scale of the model much better and IвЂ™m really pleased with the new head. Here it is painted prior to being stuck back on.ДЄnd here he is reassembled вЂ“ Big Mek Megagutz ready to get back to work. To avoid it looking too much like a welding mask and clarify that itвЂ™s not something heвЂ™s wearing but actually part of his head I did a bit of greenstuff work across the crown so it looks like at some stage his whole cranium has been opened up and tinkered with.

Anyway, having removed the wacky hairdo I shaved the rest of the face back a little to create a flatter surface and stuck the вЂgubbinsвЂ™ straight on. As an aside if you remove the topknot the model is improved straight away so I might try using the head like this at a later date. For the organic rear component of the head I used my least favourite of the Nob heads from the Assault on Black Reach kit (the one with the goofy expression, eye-patch and truly awful topknot). I didnвЂ™t have any particular issue with the head he had (in fact IвЂ™ll probably reuse it on another Nob) but when I stumbled across the chance to make a new cybork head instead using the control gubbins that normally attach to the mekвЂ™s tools I jumped at it.

Whilst I was about it I ended up taking the chance to chop his head off as well. They had to go and be replaced with something a little more believable. My dissatisfaction was mostly with those enormous Mek tools, theyвЂ™re just too disproportionately huge, going beyond вЂcomically huge and OrkyвЂ™ and becoming вЂjust a bit muchвЂ™. In the main IвЂ™m still quite pleased with him, the kustom force field on his back still works for me and only an Ork, having already lost one hand and had it replaced with a hook would chop off the other one and graft on a power claw (especially if his job involved comparatively fiddly jobs like tinkering with machines). Anyway, to begin with hereвЂ™s a few shots of him in his previous incarnation. As we shall see the similarity doesnвЂ™t end there, he too shall shortly loose his head in spectacular fashion. Like the Painboy I showed back here this Big Mek is a model I was initially proud of, then fell out of love with over time.

Not to worry, a bit of rickety looking Orky scrap metal covers the gap and leaves me with enough bits to start cobbling together his new colleague.ДЄs regular readers will know any feedback is appreciated so feel free to let me know what you think in the comments. However it seems that GW arenвЂ™t keen on anyone making both Big Meks from a single box of models as, although there are bodies a plenty (well, three to be precise) and the bits to build both pieces of вЂteknologyвЂ™ the components needed to attach either the Teleport Blasta or the Kustum Force Field appear only once. Of course, one Big Mek is never enough, especially when the Teleport Blasta looks so damn good as well.

The face was a joy to paint, full of grumpy character. Whilst I powered through the newest recruits to the Ork Boys squads I was also chipping away at what may be my favourite Ork model from the last few years, the hulking Big Mek with Kustom Force Field.ДЄs conversions go heвЂ™s pretty straightforward, built almost entirely as Games Workshop intended with a simple head-swap for one of the excellent Max-Mini Orc Tech Freak heads. If you guessed that all those Orks I posted last week were leading up to something you were right.
