I've been the hobby for about 6 years now and I have never fully painted an army up to any decent standard, being a kid these days i was pretty lazy and impatient and just found painting sooooooo boooooring, but I'm glad to announce that that is all behind me as I decided to pull out the orks from my old Assault on black reach set and begin a new army. All of the models were built, some had crappy conversions I probably used to find funny which are now as gone as I can make them considering my still sub-par converting standards, and about half had the crappy paint job of a 9 year old just flicking a brush over his first models, needless to say that can all be rectified by my first real shot of getting a decent paintjob on every single model in the army.

Da boyz are called da DEFF STOMPAZ and dey be gonna be stompy an' killy till dey get stomped and killed but nuffin' can stomp a stompa so weez are nevar gonna stop stompin'an' killin'

The back story of this warband is, that they were a tribe of feral orks on the planet gehenna V at the time of the necron/blood angels/Matt Ward alliance in the face of the tyranids, and thus after both battle weary armies just packed up and left the planet, there was a lot of loot just lying around for the taking, the orks who were watching the battle, (they were so outnumbered that mob rule didnt apply so they all failed their morale tests and never took part in the battle) noticed how ferociously the red 'umies were fighting and decided to paint and die their garbs red, but through all the trekking through the mud, looting, the bottom halves of their attire was stained brown, except a few special cases who managed to get their tops muddy but their pants remained red... (tops all bloody, bots all muddy)

As you could expect, the meks were throughly impressed by all the shiny stuff found and thus a lot of the upgrades they bestowed/ implanted/ attatched/ hammered into heads, are of necron or blood angel origin causing a lot of funny looking power klaws and other gadgets

As a great man "halfling" once said, I've painted less than half of them half as well as I should like, and like half of them half as much as they deserve... something like that

(oh and just a warning, I love forging a good narrative, so if you don't like lots of fluff in your meatballs *ahem* models, I suggest you back away slowly)

warboss 'ugegob runtstopa, or just runtstopma, he was just a slightly oversized 'ardboy till he was in a freak accident involving a daemonette, a dark eldar incubi and a transcendant C'tan... long story, he conveniently survived the ordeal and awoke in the painboyz lab about 4 feet taller and with a shrivelled and runty left hand attatched with an enormous body, he then used the aforementioned runty hand to slap the painboy till he was "convinced"to slap the mekboy until he was "convinced"to build him a power klaw to fir his huge left arm, the mek's attack squig was a unwilling gift of sorts, the boss just found the shiny little legs kind of cute

Sorry, most of the pics were corrupted so ill try again.
