So a while ago I decided to start a new ork army. The focus for me this time around is on conversions/painting/modeling, the game is secondary.

So this is what I have so far.

6 shoota boys w/ nob. I get 2 boys for this mob because Im going to have 30 boys (well actually 26 plus the nob and 3 special weapons) with the chainsaw on the bottom of the shootas. Being as I only get 2 chain blades per box Ill need 13 boxes to make this mob, which is no big deal really.

I have enough models for 5 ard boys, only 4 are buil and the nob is pretty much done except for some base flourishes. The one red model was just some test paint but hell be blue like his pals soon enough. The whole mob will be dual weilding.

The choppa mob, will be armed with choppas/knives/sharp sticks. I just wanted a mob that had the opposite feel to the ard boys. The ard boys are supposed to be the skilled veterans where this ob is just a huge pile of screaming, snarling yoofs who just run screaming at the enemy. Maybe Ill throw a warphead into the mob.

I have 3 tank bustas and a big shoota that are in the works too. I found out a long time ago that by using the standrd box of boys you can make commandos,boys,ard boys, nobs, flash gitz, and tank bustas.

so far I have managed to cut/putty/modify all of the models. Some have less work and some have more.

the ard boy nob and one ard boy are complete.

the boy needs a couple of touch ups now that I see a high res pic of it.

Im going for a urban theme with the bases. I want all of the orks to have battle damage, so Im putting bullet holes/chipped paint, scars and what ever pops into my head when Im putting them together.
