Very clear so far! I'm interested on how much each Nob ends up costing though?! lol

Lt.Gregor - April 11, 2008 03:57 PM (GMT)
Why do you think I bought a Rapid insertion force? :D plenty of things that need orkifying

jasevx - April 11, 2008 04:08 PM (GMT)

Step 8
Add Rivets (sorry forgot to take pictures of rivets but hey I can't do all the work!)

Digits - April 14, 2008 06:08 PM (GMT)
I'm kind of pleased you didn't find a claw! This way, we get two tutorials for the price of one!!! :P

Lt.Gregor - April 14, 2008 06:09 PM (GMT)
Now that I've shown how to assemble the body and Power claw (Lt Gregor Style) THe next part is purdy easy:

Step 6
Glue on the arms, and using various Tubes and Rods build up "piston assit arms" This is to show that they get some help carry the extra weight:

Well from my Orc Waffaaaa project long for BOB:

[QUOTE=] I have a small Hatered for Tau. Not that I'm making it personal and becoming crazy, like making a whole army based on stealing their stuff. [/QUOTE]

I harbor a Large hatered for Tau, It's slow and burning. There-for I made an army built to mock tau as much as possible. I got a rapid inserstion force, and the Crisis suits are too-large for mega-nobz (that is warboss size) so the stealth suits were tapped for mega nobz, as you can see they look smaller than the warboss and right about mega-nob size.
