Well guys anyone thats been on these forums for roughly the same amount of time i have should have heard of my zork project at some time or another so now i've finally made it

First off a little fluff to whet your appitites.
Gazgrub hated orks.
The foolish oafs stank of fungus beer, charred squigflesh and their own excrement yet seemed happy to gloat over the fires of wrecked tanks and the carcasses of foes. They mindlessly hack at corpses despite the lack of any signs of life in a barbaric attempt to gain trophies while others hammer away at scrap metal in the hopes of miraculously creating a functional piece of technology, a feat illogical yet often attained. They torture, bully and kill their grot servants and occasionally each other over trivial matters or simply for fun. And that is why Gazgrub had spent the previous years of his short grot life preparing. Preparing, plotting and planning for the day he would take revenge on his orkish masters for the cruelties they inflicted upon him, and more importantly for ignoring his genius.

At the end of a hole that was previously the burrow of what seems to be a hopper-squig lay Gazgrub’s lair and within it stood a small wooden table, on this table was what appeared to be a simple orb of copper that shone with a radiant green glow and next to it several bottles of carefully distilled squig poison. The bottles were constructed of a particularly thick and strong glass, for the chemicals within the squigicide ironically killed the fungus that gave the very green skins who created it their robust natures and when distilled to the level Gazgrub had provides a potent method of killing his masters, for this was exactly Gazgrub’s plan; to kill his brutish masters and force them to serve him in undeath via his true masterpiece.
The phylactryx.

As Gazgrub slinked through camp with more malicious agility than even the foulest denizens of the empyrean could muster he took a final glance at the dystopian society surrounding him; the pigs had prepared a brobdignagian feast of slaughtered and barely cooked members of the imperial guard which they were to down with copious amounts of fungus ale, a fact key to Gazgrub’s plan, which was stored in huge kegs constructed of tanned squiggoth hides behind the main mess hall where the boss had his quarters and this was precisely where Gazgrub was heading for with poison in tow.

“Oi! Listen up you grots!” bellowed Sunda Deffskul, warboss of the appropriately named Deffskulls Butcha’s, “I want to make somefing zogging clear alright?” to which the hall of ravenous orks responded with naught but silence “these pansy ‘umies we slaughta’d today were noffing, tomorrow we got none ovva than somma dem space marines for us to butcha! But before dat we need to get rid of all dis brew!” – a raucous cheer shook the clumsily constructed foundations of the hall as hundreds of boys raised their mugs and began to chug away, a cold and intensely disconcerting laugh cut through the sounds of slurping as the orks finish their ale, not the deep and throaty chuckle of an ork but the maniacal laughter of grot. Sunda felt his throat tighten and began to claw at his throat, almost as if following the example of their boss the other orks promptly did the same while violently coughing blood then fell to the floor; Gazgrub looked at the wheezing brutes with distain as the warboss let out his last words “a zoggin grot?”.

And some purty pictures for your veiwing pleasure

Yes

Unsure if it will take the form of pitch black (you are likely to be eaten by a grue) or a grue itself...

This is probably the reaction i was looking for, in the fluff the zorks were made by a batgak crazy grot and so I had to be similarly insane and whimsical in my constuction which will either work well or fail miserably depending on my level of skill.

Eek! A cool idea, if you get these painted up I think they'll look quite striking as a group

I can't handle zombies, they give me the shivers... they're a little easier to deal with as orks, though, since they're so goofy anyway.

That is unless you're planning on giving them a gory paint job (I hope not!)

Demented and manic rather than viscrial.

Think the corpse bride in a way, death is much more interesting that dull life

Thanks for this army im kind of roleplaying while im modelling in that I attempt to convert as the Nekromansa (crazy super-genius grot) would when he made the Zorks in the fluff in order to truely capture the insanity of the only sapient character in the army.

Disturbing is good While I dont have the converting skills or cash reserves of legends of disturbed armies like Tinfoil I do put alot of love into every one of these blighters so this is high praise indeed, especially coming from someone who is as skilled at ork conversions as yourself

Well im not meant to be working on them now

I have to finish the first mob of zork boys first (20/30 done!) then I'm working on the kommando's, no real reason for this order other than having the stuff for kommando's ready.

Although for you guys Ill slap up a photo or two when the first kommando is done
