At some point in time I started collecting Orks. At first I only built very few. I was under some sort of delusion that I had too many to build, that I would never finish. For a very long time I played a Speed Freek army because I couldn't muster more than a few units of boyz and some poorly scaled trukks. 4th edition came out and I got tired of losing because my army was not up to spec. I sat down and started, slowly, to build more Orks. 5th edition came out. I kept building. 6th edition came out...I never played a 5th edition game. I just kept building Orks. I started buying more and hording bitz and gubbins. Folk gave me more and my collection of built and not-yet-built grew and grew. Then I took a long break and assessed what I had yet left to build. I actually took a moment (or many, as it turned out), to assess what I had accumulated. What I found staggered me.

I have built more than 300 Ork infantry. A half dozen vehicles. But I still have more. So, so many more. Hundreds, in fact. Every day I build more Orks. Every day my horde increases in size. One day I may even finish, but to be honest, I hope I never do. The Waaaagh! is unstoppable. The Waaaagh! is KAN'T stoppable. It will never end.

Here I will show you what I have been doing. You will witness it grow and it will. Be. GLORIOUS.

My 'ard boyz started in my original paint scheme, which was a kind of red pajama. I used this scheme because it was easy and quick. But at the time I also played Dark Angels and after painting an entire army Dark Green and red with some metal highlights, I got really bored with the idea of painting ANOTHER army that was basically Dark Green and red with some metal highlights. So I chose a more obnoxious paint scheme and opted for Yellow and Blue with some Black...and metal highlights. This is much more pleasing to my animal brain. I have painted a whole TWO - yep, just 2 freaking 'ard boyz - in this new scheme, but everyone starts somewhere, usually at the beginning.

'Ard Boyz


This is an 'ard boy who is actually a REALLY old skool meganob. Updated with some new skool arms he looks much better as an 'ard boy if you ask me.

While a lot of these first few posts will be just picture dump of things I've made so far, I encourage anyone interested to make requests or suggestions about what they'd like to see me build or finish. I'll use this thread to track any builds I make and post progress as I go. You've seen my Deff Dred, so you can have an idea of what I'm capable and I'm always interested in building new and more things.

At the moment I have a personal (i.e. to myself) to build a total of 45 lootas. I think I have 9 made so far. And I also want to finish my Kanz and build at least 9 meks with kustom mega blastas. But if you have a suggestion, please don't hesitate to put it here. I'm known to work on many projects simultaneously. It's unlikely that I'd become overwhelmed.

And I wish to see more Killa Kan glory! With so many Orks you are bound to have interesting Killa Kans!

As promised, more orks:

MEGANOBZ!!!! (I wanted my meganobz to look a tiny bit unique without putting too much work into a scratchbuild, so I just added some shoulder pads to their pre-existing armor. Honestly, the shoulders are practically made for the extra plates)


Stikkbomma Trukkboyz


Shoota boyz unit 1 (the astute will notice that I have only 29 boyz in this unit. I need to make one more to fill it out. Most folk probably won't take the time to count each boy, so no worries if you don't catch that tiny detail) I cut the spike off the top of all the helmets with fur on them. There's one thing I do every game and that's scrape my arm or hand on something pointy on the table. Usually it's the terrain. I figured I'd remove an avenue of attack and save my flesh another red and stingy line.


These boyz also represent my most painted orks of any unit. Hooray!




Probably some of my most minutely converted as well.










When I saw the movie "Saving Private Ryan" I had to build an ork with a BAR. It's just so LOUD.


Shoota boyz unit 2 Distinguished by their not having helmets on.


Look! More painted guys!

I have to bore out the barrels of most of the gunz in my army, but aside from that, these boyz is done.

On to vehicles.

My first trukk I never bothered to assemble the trukk kit. I bought one and immediately chopped it up for parts. Then I went to the warstore and bought a half dozen chassis and wheels. I will never assemble the trukk model as is. I think that kit is a travesty - now every ork player in the world has the same trukks. What ever happened to the madcap, ramshackle uniqueness of this army? The trukk kit made us all lazy. Anyway, rant over. This trukk is for my gangsta boyz. These are the semi-chronological WIP shots.











And the gunner (who has a peg leg)




PIP






I used the "hairspray" method on this trukk (meaning I painted it black, then brown, then splotched it with various orange and brown "rust colors", then sealed it with Satin sealer - the standard GW sealer - then sprayed it with hairspray, then airbrushed it with iyanden darksun, then dipped my paintbrush in warm water and rubbed the yellow paint off the model to create a weathered look. My reaction to this style of painting and weathering is "meh". Others might like it more.

Here it is finished. I probably need to do some more highlighting to change up the coloration, but it's playable as is.


Trukk 2 I've started on a second trukk for my stikkbomma boyz. This is very WIP, but I've since done more work than these pictures show. Updates later.



Detail of one of the roadwheels.


I cut rivets off of everything and re-purpose them as details on all my builds. I have a tiny jar with hundreds of them sitting on my work table.

Battlewagon turret WIP





Same deal with the turret, hairspray-method-wise. I think this came out better, especially on the barrel of the kannon.



And, finally, PIP of a Looted Wagon. It isn't armed with much. Just a rokkit.





I much prefer to build vehicles than boyz, but both need doing if I'm to have an army, so I plug away. Feedback always welcome. I'll try to put more stuff up tomorrow.

My wife calls this looted wagon my "Keebler Tank". At one time this was a "looted leman russ", but then the new codex came out and did away with that conceot. Some old ork players really detested the idea that their 14 frontal armor tank got reduced to an 11, and fielded looted vehicles as battlewagons instead. I think this adherence to old ideas is foolish. My looted wagon is still a comical and terrifying vehicle for my opposition and it costs about the same points wise. Making battlewagons a different option on my lists means I have something new to model.

Posting pictures with my phone is challenging. I'll put up more pics later.

As promised, here's more photos of my "Keebler Tank"







Some years ago this tank took a nose dive off my work bench and a few pieces flew off into the darkness, never to be found again. The barrel split in the front and one of the tabs chipped off the turret ring. For whatever reason I never repaired it or finished painting it. Now's my chance, no?

These are some work in progress pictures of my looted wagon and my Zzap trukk. Finished pics of my Zzap trukk can be found here.










And also some PIP shots showing the layers from primed to base coat to rust and weathering effects to detailing. Essentially, I primed them black, then base coated them with Scorched brown (I don't know the current color equivalent), drybrushed them first with Tin Bitz (a dark bronze metallic color), then drybrushed them with boltgun metal (a dark silver metallic color), then washed them with a thinned down Scaly Green (a dark sea-green color). Then I layered on Bubonic Brown (which is probably Dark Sun or Iyanden now, but I'm not really certain and don't feel like double checking) and Royal Blue. Then progressively lighter shades of blue and yellow (which were applied intentionally too thin to create a washed out and weathered look). I never got around to painting the roof of my "Keebler Tank", but the Zzap Trukk has since been finished.

your story sounds like me. long time ago i bought 1, count them 1, box of ork boyz to use in a GorkaMorka game, and kitbashed their trukk. it was never supposed to go any further than that, and yet now today i have around 8500 pts of Orks. I gained some more last weekend, visiting a friend of mine he tossed me four old metal orks, nine of the old GorkaMorka orks, a unfinished warboss and runtherd two old school drivers and an old school gunner. I swear every time i turn out the lights and go to bed, my warboss tears through the boyz to make them spore up more boyz, and the meks build more crap to move those boyz around in.

anyways, as to the stuff you posted, Love the trukk, and the saturn 5 storm boy. Battlewagon looks like it's going to be an interesting build, i'll be here watching and commenting again at some point, keep up the good WAAAAAGH!!

Posting from a phone makes me a little inept at making things like effective links, but...

@Squidbot: the trukk chassis in the background actually became my first finished trukk (the one I posted in my finished ork thread). I haven't workes on my wagons for ages. I'm glad to hear you'll be putting those marine wagons to proppa use!

@SebastianSynn: yes, your story is much like mine. And I completely agree, the boys are spawning at night and collecting skrap when I'm not looking. Everytime I look around I'm floored by how much more I have left. It just never ends! I've become the "unwanted ork models black hole". Friends just give me stuff; like they're as committed to watching my horde grow as I am.

Thanks again for the feedback, Boyz! It really means a lot to me.

Legs get bodies:




Some bodies get arms, like these new Tankbustas:


This shoulder pad is here because I had to fiddle the weapon arm on. I have way more rokkit arms that connecting holdy arms, so I often improvise with other arms.


I really detest the metal tankbusta models and refuse to use them in any significant way. So I convert the plastic models and the rokkit boyz in any way I can, usually with just some minor weapon or rokkit swaps like with these boys.

Progress!

Burnaboyz (with smurf hats)!




I drilled out some button holes for this guy's hat, because the head was already glued on and the burna arms didn't fit right with the long hat-flaps. I trimmed them down, but they looked weird so I decided to make them look like they might button to something this ork ain't currently wearing. It worked in my head, I don't know about execution.

More orks. First up, some Kommandos.


The Nob:



His boyz:

I put together the boy on the left before I remembered that I was going to make all my kommandos carry knives. Oh well, this one guy is carrying a boffer. What evs.


Some meks. First guy up doesn't have a lot of conversion work except that I had to sahve his kustom mega blasta down a bit in order to fit his head on.



For the second mek I wanted to use a different head (I can't remember if I got this head from Spellcrow or Kromlech. anyway, both companies are great for 3rd party ork parts):


But to use this head I had to heavily modify his arms to make the gun fit right. (sorry for the blur, my camera had trouble focusing on what I wanted even with being on the Macro setting)


(I'll have more pics of this gun conversion up tomorrow)

Here's his backpack, too:


That's yesterday's work. Thanks for looking and have a great day! Cheers.
