I have decided that i will start a Speedfreaks Army with the models from AoBR, firstly i would like some feedback on the deffkopter and also what do people think i should go for next as i have never collected an ork army so this is all very new to me.

Nice start, now if you want a speedfreak army buy trukks, bikes, battlewagons, boyz, boyz boyz, an lots of boyz

Depending how far you want to go with the modelling some Buggies and Trakks would be in character.

Don't buy the current ones as they are rubbish left over from second edition and should be updated.

But as said above boyz in trukks are the backbone of an all mech waagh.

Thanks guys

Looking Good! As the other people said, trukks will be pretty much essential. Also, consider adding a buzzsaw to your deffkopta(s), a 42" first turn charge can really help out! Nob bikers and battlewagons could round things out nicely, and a big mek with a KFF is pretty much essential to keep everything alive and going forward.

Ok i have some more pics, these ones are part painted but by my bro as goffs so that will have to change, i have a mek from the lootas/burnas box as well so he will be added, do you have any suggestions on how i would model on buzzsaws?

I like the very crude, simple buzz saw conversions..like a jagged wheel cut from card mounted to the front or the bottom of the coptor, but the twin linked rokkits on the aobr kind of get in the way.

With orks, the more blunt and crude, the better,

So do you have to replace the rokkits then, i ve only just started and havent managed to get to my local GW store to pick up the codex

Right i havent posted in a while as i have been revising, but in between that and all the breaks i have had, i have managed to get more models painted, and now i also own the codex so i can start to put together an army and know all the rules, so enough talk here are the models

I don't think the rokkits have to be removed, they are just very static models.

We need more orks in this thread...in every thread, actually.

Like the ork skin! Your WIP nob is lookigg very clean, if you can keep this up you'll have a very nice army

Loving the weathering on the metal, damn fine technique and it's working well!

Thanks Guys, sorry i havent posted anything new recently but im sitting in the middle of my exams and am not having time to paint at the moment, as soon as they are finished (22nd) and my decent computer is back online ill give you some more stuff

Ok i have managed to get five more orks painted and another nob so i have squad finished, ill put them up tomorrow as it is the last exam and ill have time to mess around uploading them onto the old computer

I am going to use the AOBR nobs to lead my boyz squads and then buy some more.

The next buy will be two trucks to put my boyz in
So 500pts will be

-Big Mek , custom mega blasta and custom force field

-three deffkopptas , twin linked rokkits

-Boyz squad 1 and 2 , nob, big choppa, trukk, red paint job and wreaking ball

Hey bud, looking forward to seeing your progress!

One thing I would suggest though is to wash the skins more selectively in the creases only, it seems on some models you suffered a little bit of sandpaper primer syndrome, sticking to the creases would eliminate the appearance of it a touch.

Other than that, looking good!

@MajorTom11 Could you explain what is meant by sandpaper primer syndrome never come across that before, once i understand what it is then ill have a go at correcting it, thanks

Right we have techinical problems getting the pics up, my laptop ( )cant get the software for my D3000 which is a pain, tomorrow ill have a go with the bigger computer downstairs and if that works, so sorry about this i will promise to get them up as soon as i can so watch this space

Waiting anxiously

@CommissarKhaine here you go

Right as promised here are the pictures of the latest models to be completed (although some are missing there teeth) this squad will ride in my latest investment, my first ork trukk which is in the construction and painting phase as we speak, i hopefully should be putting pictures up of that and a second deff koppter

So far i have painted from AOBR

10/20 slugga boyz
2/5 Nobz
1/3 Deff coppter
0/1 Warbos

Plus an extra mek from the lootas/burnas box who acts as the army's leader, my big mek until i purchase i model. so a quick question would it be possible to attach the generator from one of the meks to the one with the custom mega blasta and do any of you have an idea on whati could call my Mek?

They apparently also recently invested in a Trukk

Anything's possible - with a bit of effort. I don't have any experience with the custom mega blasta mek (the metal one right?) but I have attached the Kustom Force Field to one of the Nobz bodies from the Nobz box. Plastic to plastic easier than plastic to metal easier than metal to metal I find...

Keep up the good work!

Re names - google Ork Name Generator

Looking off to a good start!

I agree witn Arakasi: with orks, a lot goes if you put some effort into it. For the record a KMB is dangerous since your big mek only has two wounds; give it some thought before you make a cool model with less then optimal equipment.

...or make it swappable (magnetise!)

Firstly, lovin the Orkz. Been thinkin about buyin some just to build and paint, looks like a lot of fun.

Secondly, for a Mek name, how's Ol' Rench'ead?

@CrashUSAR yeah i do quite like that name, ill keep in mind and use it if i cant think of anything better, although i dought that

Thanks for the feedback on the what to give the mek, and you have a point it might not be as safe, however as you said magnatise them is a good idea, as i would have two mek bodies so if i could swap the back packs it might work.

On another note 1) how much extra imperial stuff can you get away with using and 2) i was looking at FW and saw the new grot tanks, do you think i could use them as Buggies/tracks until GW release some new ones or i have enough spare parts to build my own

Thanks very much for the feed back and hopefully some more stuff will be up here soon
