Pastry Sticks and Fungus Beer...

As I wait for the glue and green stuff to dry on my Forest Spirit army, I think an ork update is on the cards. I have a plate of cheese and tomato pastry sticks, and I'm ready.

Orkz iz da best... COZ I SEZ SO!

Snagrat's Boyz

My first mob of trukk boyz. Snagrat is probably my favourite nob. He's actually the oldest model in my ork army at the moment. That's why he's a bit... bitty. Loads of tiny scraps of paint when I tried to strip off his previous coat. The bosspole is a new addition, which is why it isn't painted yet.                                         I'll have to try and paint it without an undercoat, but that's fine. I've done it loads of times, haha. To the left of Snagrat is 'caveman guy', then 'german helmet guy', and to the right is 'mace guy'. I tried to make every ork individual, so they all have a name ending in 'guy'. But I digress...

Gorgutz's Boyz

Here is Gorgutz, and my second trukk boyz mob. He's flanked by 'mega-mace guy' on the left, and 'bolt-eye guy' on the right. The nob's 'nose' plate on his helmet is bunged up, cause he has a rotten cold. His stikkbommz are purely for show.            

Trukks



This is Snagrat's trukk... not that it really matters. Each mob just bundles into something that goes fast, and zips forward. As long as they get to grip with the enemy as fast as orkly possible, who cares, right?                                      The rust looks very orange in the pictures, and the orange colour scheme also looks a lot darker than in real life. I tried messing around with the pics' colours and the like, but couldn't get it right. Oh well, you get the idea.

                                              Gorgutz's trukk... It has tusks on the front, sort of a running theme with his helmet, and the tusks there-on, but not quite.

Haven't updated in 40,000 years...

Well, almost 1 year, at any rate. The reason for my lack of updates is simple laziness. And also the fact I wanted this blog to cover my Dark Eldar army progress only, and I haven't made any progress on them for quite some time.
So, I figured, hell to it, I'll branch out my blog to cover all the things I'm working on. Not only will it mean I get to update more regularly, it might also make it more interesting, and appeal to a wider range of people. So, to kick off...

ORKS, ORKS, ORKS, ORKS,
ORKS, ORKS, ORKS, ORKS...
What I consider my 'main' 40k army, da orkz. Da Big Teef, to be exact. It was my unofficial title for them in their early days as Freebooters, but it kind of stuck. They don't have an abundance of teef like, say, the Bad Moons, but their teef are bigger on average, so worth more. Something like that!
Ol' Lug'ead

A few games ago, my Warboss, Gorzag Irontoof, had an unfortunate defeat at the hand (should that be Power Fist!) of my friend's Imperial Guard Commander (and a squad of Penal Legionnaires). The Warboss was cast from the roof of the Imperial Stronghold, presumed dead, but his corpse could not be found. The warboss has not been seen since.                                            In his place, however, the army is led by Ol' Lug'ead. Former subordinate mek, turned wannabe Warlord, Ol' Lug'ead has since transformed the army from a footsloggin' horde into a Speed Freek force by fashioning a bunch of trukks for da boyz. He rides into battle atop the best trukk he has made, joined by another of his prize 'invenshunz', the mostly-cybork 'ard boyz.

The 'ard boyz are still in their building stage, at the moment, but they should be done soon. How many times have I said that in the past about my unfinished projects?

Stormboyz

No ork army is complete, in my opinion, without a mob of Stormboyz. Here is Razzik along with 4 of his boyz. The mob is 10-big in total. This is also the first mob I've completed with my new colour scheme, so they're a little different from Ol' Lug'ead, who uses the old scheme.             They are primarily a kamikaze squad. They're there to charge forwards as fast a possible, and assault something. Anything. They do, however, have a unfortunate reputation for being shot up and dying and/or fleeing after 1 round of shooting, and never actually doing anything.



You'll notice that their bases are not finished. I have a knack for never finishing bases.

That's all for now. The camera I used for these piccies is being a daft git, so I have to faff around with it and try to take pics of my other stuff. I'll get the grots to hammer it about a bit and throw it out the window, that should get it working.

Cheers!
