I figured this is a good place for my to keep my thoughts about all my tabletop adventures. I will will keep thoughts about lists, pics of completed models and WIP, and maybe even some slimmed down battle reports.

WIP: Mek Bike Work Complete (Mostly)
I had some spare time to finish up my Big Mek on bike conversion. I am a bit proud of him.
First of all, I still want to put some rivets on the front wheel and on the back assembly. I am not sure if I want to add a different head. The current one is glued in place and I would have to snap it off to add in a different one. I really don't have a better head for him, so I think he will keep this head. I also need to go through my bits and see if I have a mek banner in there somewhere. If do, I can add that to the bike to make it stand out more. (Not that I have a bunch of custom bikes. )
He might be a little big so I might get accused of modeling for advantage but that was not my intent. I will inform my opponents that I will only measure from the bike frame that way the extra front tire and side tracks will not count for the Kustom Force Field. I think that would be fair. In the end, I was just trying to get some armor and toughness for my mek. The extended range was just a perk.
I am really happy with the front wheel and if I do any more conversions (I am looking at you rocket buggies) I think I will keep on using them. I think my scratch building is improving. Next up lobbas.
My next step will be to prime him up and slap some paint on him. I am excited to see him finished.
Thus ends Ork Month I went 1/2/0 with them. Losing to a Baneblade and another WAAAGH. It is time the new Nids finally. From one horde to another. Maybe I should have spread them out a bit. Oh well. As always I wait for your...
