(Most of) my current Orks army |
When we first started miniature painting we did some of our Chaos in the Old World figurines. Back then, there was a Red Goblin shop in our city and we'd heard of evening painting sessions, so we joined in to see what it's all about. We were hooked. Having a chaotic schedule (pun unintended) we continued at home, but didn't quite finish the whole set.
The husband then got into Warhammer 40k miniature wargaming. He'd been a longtime fan of the computer came and it absorbed him completely from day one. So we moved on to painting a Chaos Daemonkin army. More like he did. I wanted to start a fun project of my own, so I thought some Orksies would be great, especially since there was no Orks army in the local league.
I mostly wanted to paint, but he kept buying orks off eBay and now I kinda have an almost 1000p army, almost 100 units. I've already started looking for cool dice, so there's no escape for me either. I should start some trial battles soon, people can't wait to play against orks.
The boyz are amazingly funny, I have several generations, but I chose to
do a group of Nobz first, they had been half painted by their previous
owner. Not the best pic and not the best work, but here they are, after and
before. I chose an oldschool color scheme, circa 2nd edition codex. Red,
sand, copper and lots of checkered elements (to be added later,
seriously considering the purchase of some transfer sheets). I like to
keep the horns and fangs pearly white, although I know greenskinz are
dirty unkept fungi. Well, momma's boyz have manicured fingernails,
colored highlights in their hair and pristine teeth. They are savage
that way :D
I've got a killa base for one of the Killa Kanz |
