Hey guys,
im looking to create a skryre style abomination and was looking for some suggestions. One model i am looking at is the Necron Triarch Stalker but i have no idea how to tackle this without large money commitments...

Any ideas for this model? or perhaps a better suggestion?

cheers,
Scratch

Quiet, I'm plotting.

Not really a better, or more affordable suggestion, but since it was released I thought the Dark Eldar Talos Pain / Cronos Parasite Engine would make a good Abomination.

If you want affordable try looking for old military Airfix kits that you can plunder for useable bits. I have picked up many old WWII kits on sale at a hobby store and repurposed them for my Skaven.

THE Abomination
If you use Dark Eldar Talos Pain / Cronos Parasite Engine for abomb then you should use the Gun of de barge as a WLC :-)
And no, it's an expensive hobby, isn't it?

Unfortunately, they cost a small fortune in Ork (and other) bits...

I just wait patiently on ebay for just the bits I need. It takes a few months, but since these are multi-kits there's always someone selling off the parts they didn't need.

Contrary wise - buy the kit then ebay off the bits you don't need to reduce the cost.

I love the drill one, ase well as the front of the WLC one. What parts did he use? the set of three killa kan bits or something?

If they are Killa Kan bits, i could make one for less money than an actual abomination cost!

Also is Aarooon an active member? because it would be nice to send him a PM if he's still around

Sadly his trail ends on 12/11. YOu might get lucky with an email to either the online contact, or the address off his blog, but I've got nothing for his info in 6+ months.

Judging by the legs, Drillhead is made from Killer Kans and WLC is Deff Dread.

I would advice you buying some 40KORK things and a HPA and then just start kit bashing. No Skryre abomination will be the same if you just stick random suitable ork bits on.
FOR THE GLORY OF THE HORNED RAT OF COURSE!

lol! not a bad idea, i was considering doing the mole conversion (the one with the large drill bit) but removing the drill bit and adding the abomination on top, but this would require some major green stuff use :D

it looks a bit funny in the photo as the hellpit is closer than the ork parts making it look more disproportionate than it is. My plan is to cut into the hellpit, and integrate it into the mechanics, using green stuff to make it look like its fussed to the machine.... What do you think? should i go ahead?
