N_Watson Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 So after seeing how good the black orc big boss was and that he will fit in an ironjawz army I decided to rummage through so left over brute and ardboys bits. I needed one for a quick game today, so I'm sure I can do better. This literally took 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Wow, those brute pieces really help bring the ardboyz kit up to date! I think I'll hold off on mine until I have some bits too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Not bad for 10 minutes, but there's always room for improvement I'd convert the Big Choppa, even something as swapping out the head (blade) for the actual Ardboyz Champion one would be a great start. I would have also picked the head that has the super long tusks and horns, just seems to be a proppa Boss helmet Add a few more weapons to him and a shield on his back, like he's ready for anything. I also like to set my basing a bit higher for the Heroes, so you know Who's Da Boss!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N_Watson Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks @Dez. Great feedback. I chose that helmet purely down to using all the other helm options in my ardboys units so it's the only one that was different. I actually plan to take the blade from the brute gore hacka that looks like an axe. I have used all the axe options from the ardboys box already. I might rebase all my heroes to make them higher up. That would make them stand out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Awesome idea on switching it out for a Brute weapon, and the Helmet makes sense too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yeah, using a brute weapon will really make it different from the others. Maybe see if you can find a bit to give him an iron gob, to match the ironjawz? I don't particularly like the large horned blorc helmets myself for two handers, it makes it impossible for them to realistically finish the swing.

Dez Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I've started using my 40k Ork Bits for gobz too, great idea Soul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malicth Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 In my opinion I think the orruk helmet from the banner in the Ard boyz kit would be great. Its what I did for the regular boss awhile back, though i should of used some greenstuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Good work @N_Watson, overall I like him but as others (and yourself) have said a think a change on the weapon head is in order. 2 hours ago, Malicth said: In my opinion I think the orruk helmet from the banner in the Ard boyz kit would be great. Its what I did for the regular boss awhile back, though i should of used some greenstuff. This idea is solid and is actually what I had planned...though if it becomes a common choice I will probably look to do something else! #blackorcbigbosshipster haha! Anyway, this character is something I am really excited to model myself. As soon as I've got 1k painted for a doubles event I'll be right on him as a reward to myself. Please let us know how he does in game too! Once again, good work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malicth Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Honestly I haven't seen anyone else do this. I say go for it and add more conversion! Mine was just the head so while it looks cool it still isn't much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I carved that down and used it for my Mega Armored Warboss when the plastic Blorc kit came out #blackorcbigbosshipster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Haha nice! I've now gathered all the parts I will be using for mine. Just gotta finish painting my 1k list for doubles in a couple of weeks (gonna be a nightmare to get done in time!) and then I can build him and share. Should be cool...I hope.
