Mad Dok

Okay, so I had my warboss, my Big Mek and his chief underling all sorted out. Or to put it another way I had someone to lead and someone to make and maintain all the gunz. But what about the boyz? Who looks after them?

Well considering the usual standard of care provided by Ork Painboyz I'm sure a Regular Ork would be more then happy for the Painboy to go and look after somebody else!

If you've read the rest of the post you will know that the regular painboy model is out as it's metal. However I probably wouldn't have chosen it anyway as I'm not a fan. Although impressively detailed it's a bit too small to match with the plastic nobz without a noticable difference.

So I decided to turn to the plastic Ork Nobz sprue to form the basis for my " Dok" . This sprue is really, really useful when doing any sort of Ork conversions.

I used the buzzsaw arm as lets face it, he's going to need a saw at somepoint and I used some plasticard and a couple of needles to form the basis of his urty syringe. For his head I used the Nobz head which has the exhaust coming out of one side.


And here is the Dok is all his glory. For his two bionik eyes I used a simple technique I have discovered using the gun sights from the Ork sprue. Carefully cut the mount off the sight and then carefully push through a small blob of green stub from the other side. The green stuff should naturally form a curve without having to resort to a lot of sculpting.

The skull on the top of his banner pole? Why that's from the last customer who argued over the Dok's bill!

Rather then trying to build a complicated bionik leg I decided to give him a simple peg leg. Obivously from early in his career. Or at least that's what he tells his customs. So I cut the right leg off at the knee, I used a blob of green stuff to hold the leg in place and to cover the join. The leg itself was a simple piece of round tube, with a small section at the bottom which was the next size of tube "up" to form the foot.

The tank on his bank ( filled of his special secret brew patent pending) comes from the Ork Loota's sprue and I have to admit that I'm finding the tanks incredibly useful in all sorts of conversions.

Well as I now have the Dok I need a unit for him to go with. As I'm already converting a unit of nobz in Mega armour I've decided to build him a unit of cyborks. Yes Orks, who either through massive ill judgement or were simply unconcious at the time have found themselves with some of the Dok's "upgrades"

They'll be ready soon.
