Homemade Killa Kanz

Posted by

Marchomer –

This is how I made three Killa Kanz / Battlebot with few poor materials.
Low cost, few hours and easy to make.
Body: An empty GW pot.
Arms: Iron wire twisted around shoelaces.
Rear smokestacks: The top of two pencils riddled with holes.
Legs: Plywood cylinders.
Hands: Cardboards, the top of some pencil again and toothpicks.
Feet: Plywood.
Details: Cardboards, hardware discards and some missiles from an unused airplane model.

I decided to make my Killa Kanz like they were playing darts with missiles, because I think this is the right (and the only) way the mind of an ork can conceive a missile launcher!
I think tomorrow I will begin to paint them, so, other updates coming soon

Ehy... I'm realizing these models are legal in official GW tournaments too! Because these Killa Kanz are a huge conversion of a GW existent product! A GW can...

Excellent! another triumph of low cost scratch-building

You are a genious mate, such a simple idea and you have pulled it off well. Well done mate. M

They look excellent using such simple materials.

Before you paint them I would probably spray them with varnish to harden up the shoe laces and card.

Any chance of a rear shot?

Thank you very much guys! Too kind!

I've just finished, this is the colors scheme I used:
Undercoat
An aluminum spray bought in a DIY shop, yes.. a metallic colour! (This is blasphemy!)
Reddish zones
Base: Terracotta > Wash: Gryphonne Sepia.
Iron parts
Wash: Badab Black > Drybrush: Mithril Silver.
Copper parts
Base Shinning Gold > Wash: Devlan Mud > Drybrush: Shinning Gold.

The only things I will must do are the bases (I will wash them with diluted Gryphonne Sepia and drybrush with a Yellow) and the smoke on the smokestacks.
I know, these models aren't so detailed, but I'm sure that on the battlefield during a game, they are quite good too.

Sorry! I read it only after I posted the update!
No problem! Tomorrow I will take a picture of the rear!

These are just fabulous!

I reckon that you're not far off the original scavenge and scratch custom model building of Rogue Trader/40K - I mean the chances are that Ork walkers might have started off as paint pots.
