So... I was kinda complaining about most the flash-gitz Ive seen around the local gaming tables lately.. Most of them have been looking like oversized Lootas or just run of the mill freebooters to me..
So I figured since I decided to have opinion I would try my hand at making 1 or 2 myself... Heres my first attempt at It..   Tell me what you think comments and criticisms are always welcome... -------------------- What I was working on last:

Looks real good, nice idea, the bandoler (sp) from the back to the gun looks really awsome.
Where are the arms from? -------------------- I like to loot it loot it

I think that it's the kustom guns that set FG's apart, so you're definitely on the right track here Z, gud job
 Personally, I can't decide between using AoBR Nobz, or just beefed up torsos and arms like the Nob from the Boyz box.I also think that FG's should have rather large and obvious ammo packs, and that yours could use something different in this respect - you have an oversized gun here with a single ammo-feed that looks a bit inadequate compared to the gun and is coming from a soft backpack.

I like im
. But I agree that a big drum or box magazine would fit im better than the wedy backpack. Maybee the drum mag from the bikes would work?

Looking good
 That´s a nice custom gun and ammo belt  You could add the pile of spent gun shells to the base, I think it would look good with him

Nice work! I love a good ammo belt.
Besides the other comments I'm going to add that since this is a Flash Git he might benefit from a bit more Flash.  Give him some wealth to show off, like a big bunch of teef hanging from his armour plates and big signs to tell the ladz he's in change.I like the Git Finda!

How about a backpack more like an ammo box strapped to his back - more like in Predator

Nice job Zs. Good use of them 'uge choppa arms, those have been vexing me. The detailing on them is cool but I haven't been able to work more in. it's some thing tiny & sorta insignificant but I really like that elbow bit you've adeded, makes it look more like he's used to be down it the trenches sweeping them out.

Ah HA! Now I know what to do with the rest of those Stormboyz packs I will never use! Really nice conversion...and it doesn't really need to be worky in this case. Orks gunz are technologically not workable, it's their belief that makes 'em go!

Thanks everyone!
QUOTE (BigMek @ Feb 5 2009, 01:15 AM) Where are the arms from? Hes a Nob from the new Nobs box and those are just modified arms from the same set QUOTE (GeNrul GroTamuNgus @ Feb 5 2009, 06:27 AM) he looks good, just the ammo belt looks a bit weedy its going in the wrong way!!! its gonna make him cookoff his gun and letting it blow up in his face the rest looks good, the gun is made of?? looks like a gaitlin gunn correct? its aobr nobs? Its not facing the wrong way when it enters the weapon.. the problem with these metal ammo bit is you cant bend them too much all at once or they break.. and yes The gun is a storm boy rocket pack.. Its kinda funny my favorite part of this guy is his Git-finda which everyone seemed not to notice.. tho this angle doesnt showcase it really well -------------------- What I was working on last:

Number 2 is really awesome (hmm, I sound like a pooping enthusiast), but he looks more like a Tankbusta Nob than a Flashgit. Remove the rokkits from his shoota and change the shoulder-mounted rokkits to gatling guns or something like that, and he'll be great.
The first one is perfect as is, don't change a thing .

I like the both - a lot. They are obviosuly flash gits judging by their size and the extreme dakkability of their guns. Nice work on the gitfinders!

I had the same concern thats why the missiles are only tacked on right now.. I Figured if enough people share the same opinion then ill swap them out for something else.. -------------------- What I was working on last:
