Hi folks...

This is my lattest labour of love... entering this in a regional comp. Total of about 80hrs+ work on this... the idea was to show an ork boss who has managed to bag a Broadside battlesuit and jerry-rig the railgun to his mega-armour. The open access panel on the railgun and orky nuclear powercell hopefully get the idea across failry well

Real glad with how the weathering on the mega armour power-claws and access pannels came out... other bits I'm not so happy with...but overall I'm pretty happy with him.

As always... constructive criticism, suggestions and discussion are appreciated.


Cheers!

Ben

love the contrast between the "orky" red and the tau colouration of the rail gun. personally i wouldn't have the crisis suit head, but thats just me. P.S. congrats on the comp win!

Nicely done, and no worries, the jury-rigging of the railgun comes across very clearly...the spiked healm of the XV88 is a nice touch. The red's a little too crimson for my taste, but that's personal preference. Paint job is excellent, and the weathering really works. Great job!

Ok the weathering on the power claws is wicked, love the colours the reactor the back story. Really nice work. I even like the clashing of the railgun and armour. Only thing I think would make it better is if you chipped up the railgun. After all the boyz ain't gonna look after it as well as the TAU.
