Note: Terminology may sound stupid to those unfamilar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Alright, I had the idea for this guy ages ago, even ordering the parts, but I never got round to actually putting him together until yesterday, when I was inspired by all the new Ork models. So, here he is, Klockwurk Manikmek. Never was quite the same after one of the Painboyz used a squig brain to replace a missing chunk of his after a fight.

Base model is a standard metal Nob. For quite a while he was going to have a set of mechadendrites from one of the Inquisitor models for a "Doctor Orktopus" style appearance, but I changed my mind at the last minute (so the assembled pieces remain in my bag of ork conversion pieces). I'm also tempted to build a warbike version once the new plastics come out. The greenstuffing isn't amazing as I don't have much patience for it so did the sculpting as quickly as I could.

That's a tasty bit of modelling there. I love the klaw - that's made up of Dark Eldar vehicle bitz, isn't it?

Do we get to see the painted version when it's done?

Amongst other things, yes. And thank you.

Yes, but I'm not sure when I'll get chance to paint it.
