Hi there Dakka!

A new hobby store has just opened in my area, I thought it was high time I got back into this gaming lark properly! So after clearing out ALL their Ork stuff, I am now a proud owner of:

4 x Trukks
4 x Nob boxes
1 x Boyz box
4 x Gretchin boxes
1 x Black Orcs box
3 x Savage Orcs boxes
1 x Finecost Warboss
1 x Old metal Savage Orc command blister

I set towards my goal of a 1000pts force by the time the East Vs West Warhammer 40k tournament at Warhammer World comes around in May. I plan to use the Nobz as Nobz and the Grotz as Grotz (obviously). The Trukks will be converted, and shaped to a mildly piratical theme (jolly rogers, crows nests, prows etc), with the Boyz box forming crew for them, representing weapons and suchlike. I plan to use the Savage Orcs to represent a Snakebite tribe which have been unducted into the force by da boss, simply "becoz der betta at shootin'!", and the Black Orcs will be converted into some sort of Meganob counts-as. Finally I plan to use the champion from the Savage Orc command as a standard Weirdboy. Simples!

So I started painting on Monday, and have aimed to get one mini painted from my first Nobz squad every day, and I plan to continue this way until the force is done. This number will increase to 3 or 5 depending on the minis I'm painting (eg. 3 shoota boyz, 5 Grotz) and I plan to update every few days. So for now, here are my first few models for the force, from Nob squad I!

C+C would be amazing! Should have another mini painted tomorrow, may update Monday or Tuesday!

These are amazing conversions and paint jobs... I am suprised nobody has commented on this yet.

I was kinda gutted that no one was commenting myself haha! Cheers though man, kind words

I've kinda been keeping up with my one model a day thing, will update at the weekend sometime!

subscribed, don't worry about comments, internet peeps are fickle. keep at it, youve got good things going on here

Yeah dw people like to browse. I like your ogre conversion best probably, real menacing. But then the guy with the improvised riot shied, looks great too. Either way keep up the good work dude

Friggin love the riot shield dude

that just happened by accident from my bitz box, I saw someone do it to make meganobz one time, and commandeered (YAR) the idea. Thank you!

We have a small update today, almost finished the Nobz Waaagh Banner bearer, slightly different skintone...


And started on the Weirdboy, warpaint a-go-go!


And a little group shot!


Hope to get some more done this week. I have two shows with my band to contend with so progress may be slow.
