There comes a time in every Games Workshop gamer’s life when should experience the scuff of hob-nail boots on rock, the smell of Dakka being fired into the air, the ground, the grots or even your neighbour, and the awesome swelling sound of that chant of WAAAAAAGH rebounding back and forth from the horde. Yes, I am talking about Orks and not a rock concert. I first came into Orks when the player in our group who was to field them stopped playing Warhammer 40K and we needed some Green skin flavour to keep all our games being Marines versus Guard or Eldar. So I started with the box of 32 plastic Orks back in 1992 followed by the starter set of Goffs and Gretchin that followed. Those later went to a new player who joined our merry band, but once you have played an Ork army there is always something that draws you back. It started for me a second time around about 2005 and should be called the Gorka Morka army. I was deployed back when that game came out and every member of my gaming group started an Ork band and they played throughout the summer, only to stop cold when I returned. So their Truks and Bikes sat idle and gathered dust as we returned to the core game. When I inquired a few years later they were more than happy to trade me their dusty figures and vehicles and I started a PLOG. With the PLOG destroyed by web forum failures I figured it was time to resurrect it. So without further ado here is Captain Brown Paint’s a WAAAGH.

First figure painted was the Warboss, in this case the Mega Armoured Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka of the Armageddon Campaign…he had not been the first model to bear that name in my collection, but he definitely was the more imposing.


Now this is a recovery PLOG, so there is lots already painted...here was the last milestones hit:



Completed army...actually when is an army ever really completed...





Feb 2019


So I have lots to post and share.

Oh yes, and other than Ghazghkull, none of the figures was purchased from a GW store...they were all trades or purchases off of my gaming group, WarSeer, eBay, DakkaDakka, or Bitz Barn.

The long painting war continues...

So some of the Gorka Morka models painted early on:

Some Ork Boyz and a Nobz with one converted Burna Boyz.


Some old Warbikes.


Some Grots and a Minder (including 4 of the old mono-pose Gretchin from 2nd Edition- two I did head swaps on to make them different).



More to come.

Another awesome plog from Captain Brown!

You say you acquired alot of the bikes/buggies etc from trades, did you repaint them or is this the condition you traded them in?

It all looks very cohesive, so I'm guessing you repainted them.

They look great anyway, what are you planning on adding to them?

Thank you evildrcheese,

Repainted for the most part, some figures were left with original paint for parts, but most arrived primed or bare metal and others needed bath of Simple Green.

More Boyz of course (just bought some more on Dakka).

Thanks Cleatus,

You asked and here are some Nobz.

Some of them before:

From some scraps my take on a Loota (this was long before GW came out with the ones with the large shoulder mounted weapons)

Fantastic Loota! It's got all the character of the current kit without the slightly over-the-top (literally) shoulder mount.

Next up was one trade that had this coming to me:


There were missing arms, missing weapon bits, etc.

Here is the Looted Vehicle I made from the Basilisk:

Looks like the Looted vehicle has lost so lustre. Any way her was a Pain Boyz who was covered with extra superglue and paint.

Original model:


Cleaned, stripped and painted:



He wore the Red Pants!

Nice. Do the red pants help him heal faster?

I really like the loota you converted too, really cool use of weapon bits.

Also love the ork peeping out the front of the looted wagon.

Very cool. Damn burnas, they've ruined many of my units in game. Definitely not a unit to be underestimated.

I have to say that I very much prefer those older styled lootas to the new ones, from what i have seen of them.

Next up was some Nobs.

Here are two of them before paint.



Then completed with another two.




I see that one still needs lightening of his base top.

Now I was able to trade for a NIB Ork Nobz set, the old pewter ones. Fortunately it had a spare arm or two and let me finish up some of the ones I received missing limbs in trade.

But it did mean I needed to use the Waaagh Banner...but which WarBoss would leave home without one?

Then some more Boyz (never enough Boyz in a Waaagh).

Less Gorka Morka Boyz and some of the regular Ork Boyz of 3rd Edition, plus one of the Nobz and Burna Boyz you have seen already for a Truk crew:

Good job, most people would look at that mini and think it was the AoBR warboss, sculpt was an old one revamped.
