Identifying, Updating, and Painting a Bucket of 90's Era 40K Orks with Lawnor

The September 2019 Asset Drop Monster Box contained the Iron Boss by Artel W so I’ll be painting him up to add to this force.  I hear he makes for a good Ghazghkull replacement. The kit comes with the model, a large wibbly wooden base, a cork sheet, some resin sheet metal from Kromlech, a Orky Bomb and some flock by Serious Play.

Here’s what the model looks like and how they suggest you build it all up.

That flock doesn’t match my existing models, so I’ll be replacing it with the same stuff I used before.  I have already applied the GW Martian Ironcrust over all the cork.  I had primed black undernetah, but when the paint cracked it appears to have “torn” the primer with it.  I have done my best to stain the cracks with wash, but you can tell its wood or cork if you look very close.  The scatter should obscure this enough.  I’ve kept the leftover sheet metal shards and painted them up.  I’ll add them as scatter later after putting down the flock mix.

If I attach him to the wood base then he won’t be readily useable in any game where base shape and size are a concern.  He did come with the correct 50mm base 40k would want so I decided to mount him on both bases.  I’ve cut a hole in the cork just big enough for the 50mm base to fit in and stay level with the surface.  I’ve also tried to position the bomb crater so the sheet metal will hopefully overhand the 50mm base and obscure it when seen from the front.  We will see how this works only when I’m done.

I am also painting up the Fox Box Comms Gobbo at the same time because why not?
