I think Mad Dok Grotsnik is my least favorite model in the current Ork range. His pose is so goddamn stiff and the details are weird and not compellingly so. Everything is just sticking out at a straight angle and it's a more modern multipart model, there's really no excuse.

He also needs to be 20 points cheaper. Though he is still pretty darn great in a unit of meganobs!

Too bad the plastic painboy kit is pretty static. It would be tough to use it as a conversion base for the Mad Doc.

Mad Dok Grotsnik is the most extreme of all the Ork Doks. Orks go to him for the best experimental augmentations and to be given cybork bodies and implants. Grotsnik always had a morbid fascination with rooting around in other people's heads. Mad Dok Grotsnik is truly insane. He does not care for his own safety and will charge straight at the enemy. His followers get carried away by this and will follow him into any combat.

Has anyone ever painted up the Altansar craftworld scheme before? Specifically what'd be the best way to paint up that purplish red. Debating between them and Iybraesil for this small Eldar force I've been gifted but I'd rather not paint another blue and white scheme.

Yeah, I might run him with some Meganobz. I'm gonna make some painboyz out of the Nob kit with some apothecary bits and the buzzsaw arm in the Nobz kit probably.

Also the old Gorkamorka mekboyz are really small. They're like 3/4 the size of a regular Ork boy. This box of 90s metals has been fun to go through.

Looks like an order from the most mainstream recaster every mouthbreather on the internet knows about. You might not believe it, but there are other guys that have way higher quality than whats in the video

It's almost as if it was deliberately chosen to make recasters look bad as part of a 'recasters are poo poo' agenda or something

I've stood by and watched you buy an ork army, but honestly dude I REALLY hope you aren't buying meganobz at full price. Without sweeping advance they truly blow chunks.

If you must use them, toss three in a trukk then fire and forget. They just don't have the killing power to be a death star anymore.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" HERE is a Christmas-Special for a Lucky someone: OK - You will LOVE this!! -My friend Kaya and I are Artists - AND: we are 40K fans. We do Sculpting and Casting with State-of-the-Art Techniques, Resins and Materials BEYOND what ANY 'business' uses (like 'Forge World', Privateer Press, Malifaux, etc.). We have BOTH worked for 'Game Companies' in the past. So here is our ORIGINAL Artist 'scratch-built' CREATION modeled after the Classic (and BEST) LUCIUS PATTERN WARHOUND TITAN (which is Out-of-Print - and NO longer sold or available from the original manufacturer):

THIS is a compilations of ALL the FUNCTIONAL, Decent 'extra', slightly mis-cast parts you need to create an open-topped "Battle-Worn MUTATED, Battle-Ravaged/Chaos-blighted, WARHOUND TITAN'"! That's all. Just the last, cool - miscast 'mess' of parts - that you could do ANY creative thing you want with. Could you make a Flaming WRECK of a Trashed, Blown-Up Titan TERRAIN piece. Oh YES! Could you make a devolved, decrepit Warp-Tainted CHAOS Mutation Monstrosity?! Oh YES you could! Could you make a comical and strangely-functioning Titan-commandeered ORC-Mech Dredd/Titan-or-TANK vehicle?!AND: Yes - you CAN create a Functional, Battle-worn, flamer-melted, weapon-marred IMPERIAL WARHOUND TITAN too with a little creativity. Oh Yes you could! This is you Chance to finally build and Own make a 'functioning' Battle-weary Imperial Titan! We were able to CAST these parts from a Worn-Out set of Molds - and despite having some bubbles and 'mutations' - they are quite functional and workable to make a Titan - with a little creativity, filling and sanding. As much as you like to make it as 'perfect' as you like.

KEEP IN MIND: there is 'still' about $100.00 worth of Fresh, Top-Quality RESIN and materials used to MAKE this set of 2nd parts - so we just want to get this to a Needy and Good Titan-home - for someone who Always Wanted to BUILD one for a mere 'fraction' of the cost!

With this /Mutated Titan parts, you get EVERYTHING seen in the parts pictures. You get the Unicast BODY/TORSO - which admittedly has GREAT Detail for most of it and is near-perfect except for a couple light spots that might need green-stuff on each shoulder. You get ONE complete uni-cast leg-and-shin-guard with complete FOOT too with All Needed LEG-and-FOOT COMPONENTS! You get at the unicast Warhound HEAD - and you get a Pair of GREAT WEAPONS as well: the Plasma Cannon is unicast with a little excess resin on top - and the FLAMER is near-perfect. In fact: a friend of mine 'bought' a Forge World Flamer and its delivered Price to the U.S. was $70.00 for just THAT alone - and he said MINE was BETTER! :O

YOU KNOW don't you: the COST of a 'complete' Forge World TITAN KIT with all weapons is OVER SIX-HUNDRED DOLLARS U.S.! My friend and I are DONATING all the Proceeds from this auction to E-bay Charity! And frankly: the Resin alone for this BIG Titan components is close to a hundred bucks!! If you are creative and enjoy making clever battle-ravaged terrain or pieces - THIS will be a Dream for you. If, on the other hand, you are trying to create a 'perfect' Titan for an Art Competition or something - you have to Order one elsewhere. [If you DO need slightly 'better' pieces to make something more 'functional' - Let Me Know and I will get you some 'cleaner', less-mutated parts for a slightly increased shipping price. We are doing a 'stupidly cheap' price for some Lucky and Creative modeler who wants to experiment: 99-bucks plus shipping-&-handling. Enjoy!

With 'specific reference' to the old style LUCIUS PATTERN WARHOUND TITAN we have meticulously reverse-engineered what we believe is a far BETTER Version!
Remember: when you 'bought' an old Forge World model - pieces are 'warped', they don't 'line-up', there are G - A - P - S that need filling - and the HEAVY, 'brittle', filled-resin is held together precariously by 'super-glue', etc.!?! When, inevitably, the model gets 'dinged' or tips or you just pick-it-Up in play - pieces FALL OFF - 'Break', get LOST - etc... :/

NOT with OUR SCULPTURE. As I said: old Warhounds were used to perfectly calibrate our own Original Sculpture to 'exacting' parameters. This is 'scratch-built' - but in my option the BEST Sculpted scratch-build humanly possible! OUR Sculpt was built in LARGE Cohesive sections: 1): the WHOLE continuous TORSO/UPPER BODY w/ ARMS Pre-Attached; 2) each Uni-Cast LEG; 3) Each Unicast FOOT; 4) Unicast HEAD component; 5) Unicast WEAPONS - then (optional) additional custom PISTONS for the Hip connections. Then: special Platinum Silicone High-Flexibility MOLDs were created from the sculpture to capture the STRONGEST continuous-cast forms possible!

THIS PROCESS is easily a DECADE ahead of what Forge World, Privateer, REAPER uses to mass-produce warped, bubbled, 'pieces' that you haphazardly 'hope' fit together well and won't break for a few weeks in normal play. Let me explain: I had modeler-friend BUILD a FW Titan. There were literally 'hundreds' of insane, itty-bitty, teeny-tiny little 'parts': leg pistons, 'toe' pistons, 'foot' pistons - that 'broke', bent, mis-glued, got LOST, etc.!?! Uhgghhh... what a Nightmare. Another friend PAID a modeler to Build his Titan. The TOP was cast SO THIN by Forge World that there was 'light' coming through and it took TWO DAYS to fill with Green-Stuff!?! And: he gave him $75.00 to Build it - and it still was a little 'messed up' upon close inspection. Unfortunately: it BROKE the FIRST time he brought it to play in a game!! The whole RIGHT side came OFF just picking it up!?! Then: when he was packing it up to bring home to Fix - the left ARM broke off the thin (cracked) Top!? That's just how it goes.

So Big Game companies make PROFIT first and foremost. They factually use 'CHEAP' Resin - with Bulk-Adding FILLER to make it even cheaper. And: they pay casters to mass-cast little pieces ALL DAY LONG - and the remove from old-style Urethan multi-part Molds too fast - so you get warping and shrinking!!

This is a job for an ARTIST!

Of course, with leading edge advanced Mold compounds and Resins used by Hollywood FX people and prototype Tool-makers - OUR process cannot 'mass-produce' anything. Quite factually we get about NINE good casts! OUR 2015 High-Art process creates just ORIGINALS basically - then each One-Piece mold must be Re-built - but it is Worth it!
Now - after even the first three casts - little 'irregularities' will occur: teeny pieces of Silicone will degrade, a micro-tear will occur. So: we get what we consider 'seconds' (sometimes admittedly better than so-called 'Firsts' from casting company businesses). That is why I say that this is for a 'WRECKED'. CHAOS, MUTATED MONSTROSITY/DESTROYED TERRAIN, etc. - even though (as you SEE in the pictures) a clever modeler might make a far Better personal creation than they could from pieces bought from a Company!

What you see is what you get - and of course I am being very conservative about what you can produce from these 'pieces'. I am going so far as to call them just: 'Wrecked. Mutated, Chaos, TERRAIN! That way: no one's expectations will be 'ridiculous'. ;D Now I personally MUCH PREFER MY uni-cast creation to a hodge-podge of parts from a 'company'. MY creations Use FAR STRONGER and More Resilient Resins in their construction than 'companies' do. AND: MY process creates a Sculpt that is Far More Resistant to 'breaking'!! Little 'pieces' simply CAN'T break-off - because all such components are FUSED into this Contiguously-Cast form. NO teeny-super-gule tacks to chip-off and lose!! SO much better. Perhaps this method creates a 'bit' less 'detail' than possible with hundreds of little-tiny pieces - but it also SAVES you perhaps a Week of headaches!! In fact, the LEGS of this Titan are SO MUCH STRONGER! NO 'pinning' needed - as the Legs and Feet are created from Triple-Strength Polymer Resin used for creating TOOLS and Equipment!!

With this COMPLETE set of ALL PIECES to make a Wrecked Titan-Terrain Mutation - we include some colored Electrical Wiring for conduits on the model, Plus: a BRASS GRATE piece - and a LEXAN piece for Glass on the Titan in you desire!
