Back to orks...

Bad Moons are done!

Nobs and warboss:



Boyz:



Grotz:

Brilliant stuff always liked these quirky ladz

So this is my collection of those old models...

And this is my pile of 30 bolt pistols.

How many do you need? Just pistols?

Great job on the Orks. Like the face paint.

Hi fifty. Impressive amount of old guns there. I could do with ten more of those to complete the plastics, and I'd be happy to reimburse you. PM me, thanks.

Hi Lamahead and H.

Well I drove the van for 8 hours today and I think I'm beginning to pick up some inside info on this van thing. Life is good.

Hi dakka! Long time no post. New job hard on the hands. I've got shoppers finger times a thousand.

But I did manage to get these rather flashy looking blood axe boyz ready!




And I'm sending a big shout out to Camkierhi for the donation of some very old orks, including but not limited to these:

Beautiful work on the RT Orks, the checks really add to the effect.

WARNING: NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD

Amazing work, da' boyz iz grayt

Great work, Weety. I haven't been around much due to work as well, but these are great and really fit the old-school vibe.

Da boyz look fantastic weets! Very appropriate.

Nifty liking the fact they seem to be wearing your guard scheme!

Well you know blood-axes, always aping the guard. I like that about orks, I get to paint all the clans. Next is snakebites... lotsa leather and snake tatoos.

Look after them fingers, Weety. They do lovely work.

Speaking of which, good job on the Orks. Look great.

You are quite right Dr H. I got quite upset about my fingers at first. Now I'm trying to break up my shopping drops into smaller sections to spare the fingers, and they are getting us folding trolleys soon. So don't worry, my painting will continue!

Snakebites are nearly ready for freehand patterns and other details.

Those Blood Axes look amazing.

EDC

Snakebite time!

Fantastic work, especially on the tattoos!

These orks are phenomenal!

Hi bbb thanks!

inmygravenimage Tattoos? they've got tribal clothes but I chickened out of tattoos because I liked how the skin worked out and didn't want to ruin it.

Hoping for Boarboys as well!

Ah, I assumed those were tats on their knees. Look smashing though.

I know that feeling. Just gotta dive in and go for it! Totally worth it

Excellent work on the classic Orks - I love those guys. My favorite on this page is the blood axe standard bearer with bare feet. That guy is classic! He seems to have the outline of a bandaid on one foot though - if it is you should definitely paint it in. : ) I think the snakebite skin is very good, especially the open mouthed screaming one. Great job picking out their gear - one of the best things about classic orks is the random crud they lug around.

Those guys look pretty fabulous. Great work

Whered the feathers come from?

Hey thanks kestrel thanks - I hadn't noticed the sticky plaster!

Hi cam, the feathers are the small leaves from the GW brass leaf sprue.

I really want to paint more orks but the people need their turkeys delivering and I'm very knackered. Hope to get a day off soon!

Awesome snakebite.

Much better than a combo of cider and beer.

EDC

I'm actually quite fond of that bitter-sweet mixture, although the froth it generates is monstrous looking so pour it real slow!

Anyway glad you enjoyed the orks.

Try a pint of diesel some time.

Have to keep an eye out for that brass.

Hello dakkites. I'm still slowly grinding out orks. Here are some deathskull klan heavy weapon boyz. Made the weapons out of various old bits stuck together.

Looks good! Nice work on the tats/war paint.
