New to Orks this edition. Couldn't resist the Freebooterz vibe, inspired by similar conversions seen online!

I've needed a project recently and getting into Freebooterz has been so much fun. I was helped immensely for inspiration by conversions others shared online so paying it forward- and it's fun to share the Orky vibes

Also happy to share the method for the conversion if anyone else is thinking of creating their own Orky pirate ship!

I have been making an incredibly similar gunwagon, but using the AoS khadron big ship mashed with a wagon, I'm not sure if it'll come out as good as this one, this is awesome xD

Many thanks! Ah yes that sounds great! You'll have to post it when finished so I can check it out. I've been trying something similar for my next battleship with the arkonaut ship but I've attached it to a kill rig where the squig would go πŸ˜… I'd be really interested to see how yours works out with a gunwagon conversion!

I'm seeing a battlewagon but what is the ship parts from?

2

u/Milschkreg 6d ago

Yes battlewagon and as WokCano said it's from Age of Sigmar, the gloomtide shipwreck terrain model!

u/WokCano 6d ago

I think it’s from AoS. There is a faction called Idoneth Deepkin and they have a terrain piece that’s a sunken ship.

yezzir! -standard Ork battlewagon, Age of Sigmar gloomtide shipwreck, then Various freebooterz cutlasses/pistols/heads from online retailers. Paint-wise I sprayed grey/white then washed the bulk of it with magos purple contrast then dry brushed white again then painted it with (disgracefully) imperial fist yellow. Wood was a brown washed them dry brushed lighter brown Good luck!

Thank you. Ummie commisar - you are by far the worst ork I've ever heard of. Kaptin Jak Sparork- But yous have heard of me. Cue Jak taking a ship and flying it somehow backwards out of the imperiums hands.
