Decided to start a thread to show the hoard I am putting together with my ten year old son.

I have a reasonable sized waaagh going with models from the 80s through to today.

Currently working on kanz, grotz and a freebooter mob or two.

Always good to see Orks! Goodluck.

Good luck. Orks rule.

I always wanted the 2007 games day warboss, thought he could be a big mek for a fluffy campaign or something. Picked him up off ebay for £25.

And onwards he went

I like to name all of my orks, the biggest of meks will be Jimzog Dysun

The other guys on the painting table

Will stick Bumbog's shoota boys on for completeness...

Doc Lecter in progress, Spellcrow parts on a Nob body

Orkies are having a rest because Papa Nurgle has arrived from the world of forge!

Been wanting this boy for the daemons forever and bought him in a moment of madness, am suffering wart painting fatigue currrently...long way to go.

Killa Kans still sneaking in though.

You are naming all of your orks? You are going to run out of names really quickly.

You haven't seen my hoard yet will post up a picture if I can get them all together... It started in the 80s.

You should see mine. Waaazag da Kan't Stoppable's Horde.

Lovely orks mate! Loving that Games Day warboss!

Doc and Skumbad

New Freebooter Kaptin for my Freebooter mob

I am really enjoying painting the Kaptin, will be building his krew very soon

Thinking a battlewagon crossed with a sailing ship coming soon...must buy a box of flashgitz.

Welcome to the hoard Kaptin Ed Teef

Those Spellcrow parts work well.

I really like what you did with the games day Warboss, I've always wanted him but struggled to come up with a way of using him in 40k as he is quite a "closed model", I think you did an excellent job.

Good stuff!

Thanks, I am trying not to buy the whole Spellcrow line at the moment!

Your orks are some of the best I've ever seen

First three of the Kaptin's 'hearties' undercoated and ready for paint

Next Kaptin, thinking this is Kaptin Dark Fart.... Anyone know which famous pirate? I'm so childish for a 40 year old....

The farting one?

I'm not 100% sure what the question is, but I love his flamboyant boss pole.

Good stuff.

It was black Bart, these are two more my 10 year old boy made

Embarking on a mega armoured warboss

Good i love freeboterz! i have a badmoon army on the rise but my next project for sure will be
a freeboter force. Keep up the good work matey ...arrrr

Thanks

Updated my warboss

My table is so busy, I can't concentrate on one thing at a time. Does anyone concentrate on one model for modelling and painting or do you have many projects running at once?

I have multiple models on the go although I should really just knuckle down and get one of them finished I suppose but I constantly get tempted away by the other projects.

The glyph looks absolutely fantastic, and the warboss is huge! The four legs has put me in mind of a Warner Bros cartoon villain, tiptoeing up behind someone, tapping them on the shoulder with the power claw and then BOOM, a face-full of rokkits!!

Great stuff, loads of character in these boyz, keep them coming.

This is getting silly now, I have a mountain of sprues and countless projects on the go!

Here's my new snakebite warboss for the feral mob to go with my weirdboy

Back to MAWB

Ork hut (shameless stealing from felix's pages) with new snakebites

This stuff is so fun!!

It is fun but my backlog is now about 1000hrs of painting...

Space Marine is about to die

MAWB now has a base

Really like how your Savage orcs to Snakebites are coming on, I have a few boxes of them myself, its just a shame they're so mono posed!

Good stuff.

I guess Savage Orks like that pose

They'll never be to the class of yours but I am enjoying myself.

My 10 year old son has knocked up a freebooter battlewagon, have to say I am a little jealous.

Undercoated

Some work in progress pics

Starting to weather Boz's hut

Boz is most unhappy about the space marine coming to his hut!

Tom's battlewagon/pirate ship is coming along nicely

Some (poor quality phone) pics of the boyz

A few more boyz

A couple more pics, we probably have the same again in various boxes (mostly needing painting or repairing) along with quite an air force.

Just seen this plog and think that moody mek is brilliant!

Some orks knocking a stormtalon from the air

very kind, thanks :-)

The mega armoured warboss has had an undercoat

The pirate ship is progressing

Ooz dat at der door?

My new office is finally completed (had to do every other room before I was allowed to do my own...wives ) and I have a lovely big window over my large desk expanse.

Have some nice large cupboards for all of my modelling equipment and some high shelves to store scenery.

Orky hut 2 WIP & a Giant Glyph

Going rivet blind now

Making ladders

After I finished my ladder it became apparent that going upwards was now a distinct option for the boyz.

Some funky girder stuff had arrived so I started on my lookout platform

Very nice work, cant wait to see it all painted

Glyph has a basecoat, is it too big?

Thanks, if I ever finish the rivets I'll start painting

The hut is finished and ready to paint, quick Army Painter Spray in Matt Black

1st couple of colours and a drybrush... Quite a way to go

Started a mek hovel/encampment, one day I hope to complete something prior to starting another :-(

A mate has made my son a plasticard warhound. I am a little speechless!

I have that same problem, and I know many others do too, where you start a project before finishing the last one.
I find myself constantly surrounded by unfinished work, and their always large complicated projects too .

Nice work on the mek encampment by the way.

I had better finish this one then!

My lad has asked if it can have lights, I am thinking: Mek sign, flickering brazier and some interior lights in one of the huts.

Mocked up the sign with a red led

Moving on, rivet cramps are already setting in! Not sure whether to light up the sludge pit or just to have a clear resin, green slime....

Needs a pile of wheels and a few other half made vehicles and bits around, also grills in the windows and some doors.

Pretty happy with it though and in 'glue drying' times I'm even putting paint onto the other hut.

Thinking an Ork Promethium station next.....

Made the rickety doors and wired up for the fire in the oil drum

So I was making a guard squig for the Mek Slum and I needed to rebuild his 'mane' with a bit of Milliput. I mixed too much and decided to make some tentacles with the left overs.... Now I have started a Nurgle Vindicator

Painted a bit more on my hut, I love this bit (am I allowed to love something I knocked up?)

Mixed up a bit of milliput

Oooh looks very gribbly. Nice effect on the side door. Like it's about to burst. Pulled it off perfectly.

And I like the mek town too

Why thank you

Quick bit of riveting before I have to plant trees...

It all looks good so far except the door should be redone. Firstly and most importantly, the round tops of the wood instantly betray the fact that they're popsicle sticks. Secondly, the width also does the same to a lesser extent, so if I were you I'd cut the ends off, rough them up, then snap them vertically and then make the door.

Ah no, that's deliberate. It's a copy of a shed door on a country lane near me, it's also still in its raw form. The size is matched to 28mm orks and is about spot on, if I was making Imperial scenery I'd do it very differently but this is orks.

Really awesome. The tentacles on the nurgle vindicator are really popping out.

Thanks, that's had a spray of necrotic flesh and is waiting in the painting pile now :-(

Hi mate! Really enjoying looking through these images.... loving the look of Mek Town! Really nice mix of textures and materials! And as was mentioned earlier..... beginning one project before finishing another.... its a trap we all fall into! keep up fhe good work.... will be keeping an eye on this one....

Cheers

Now coming from a plasticard genius like yourself that is a massive complement, I am a long way from your levels

A bit of milliput or a whole packet . Good to hear I'm not the only one who mix's too much at once.

I do use quite a lot of milliput

Work is so annoying! Always getting in the way of hobbytime. Just sat down to paint my vindicator and have to zoom over to Manchester to deal with an issue

Only managed a quick red wash on the body pile

Da stormboyz ready to fly

So I accidentally bought Deathstorm and the 'Wrath of the Hive Mind'.... Talk about not sticking to the script!

Gone for a quite traditional Red and Bone scheme to allow for speedy basecoat, dip, eyes and teeth process.

Knocked up some twin linked Devourers too

In place on hyvie

My new favourite toy

Really enjoying following your work. I love the creativity shown in the scenery you have created, can't wait to see more.

Very kind, I will attempt to finish something soon

My new biovore (used monkey chukka's warrior tut) in front of big bro stupid grin.

My son left his spacehulk on the side so I decided to paint some.

Space Hulk model looks really good

Work has been crazy for the last few months and we have only really played space hulk. Saw this fella looking unloved and have started throwing paint at him. Long way to go but it's fun fun fun.

Put some more colour on him, can't help but think he wants a pile of dead space marines on that rock in from of him...

Today I am enjoying the delights of my snake bites, such fun to paint.

Put a bit more paint on the big guy

So I was hunting around for the Orky bits I bought from Forgeworld about 6 months ago intent upon finally putting my biker boss together and I found these little fellows :-)

Quick rinse in soapy water, bit of a cleanup and a spray of AP Necrotic Flesh and it's go crazy with paint time.... I love Nurgle, such fun!

Note to self: Stop buying expensive lumps of resin and putting them in cupboards for months

I will be running these little babies as beasts of nurgle in my next game, can't wait to play them.... Might even bring out Scabeiathrax :-)

Knocked up some more twin linked devourers for my fex

I just found this plog and greatly enjoyed scrolling through all the ork stuff. I would love to see you finish your mek shop terrain piece. You have a knack for textures, riveting and details likes signs, glyphs, hatches, fences, etc. that really bring the terrain to life.

I also like the freebooterz battle wagon. Did your son finish painting it? I'd like to see a picture. It is unbelievably good for a ten-year-old. My stuff at age 12 - 14 when I started the hobby looked like utter garbage. I can't wait until my kids (currently 0, 2, 4) are old enough to model and paint with me! Sounds fun.

I'd like to see you get back to the Orks, da best army in da 'ooniverse!

Thank you for your kind words, my son did finish his battlewagon yes but ork town is sitting in the corner looking forlorn

It will all get finished in time and I am back to orks once the nids are painted

Wow, this thread is a joy to go through! So many inspiring ideas. This is why I keep every Orky gubbin, bit and part I've ever had left over! And like a true Mek, I somehow ALWAYS have parts left over when da job's done!

Thanks for the update. Tell your boy the battle wagon looks great! I've been thinking about using that model for an ork conversion for a while (once I get my current projects done!) and now I see it really works well. It's from Dream Forge, right?

Oh, and tell those Tyranids to bugger off (hur hur). Orkses are more fun!

Brilliant thread...not just the models but the comments as well.

It's a Tamiya model that he picked up in Hobbycraft for about a tenner

I am surrounded by half finished 'nids and orks... and have promised the boy I will help him with his Ultramarines

Thanks for clarifying. It's not the model I thought it was. It definitely works well as a Flash Gitz land ship! Great work, especially for a kid. I hope when my kids are a bit older they will be building Ork models that look that good!

Now I am not a GW 'hater' but I always fancied a garden of Morr as a centre piece for cities of death type games. Last week they just wiped it from existence! Gone!

I rang round the stores and found one in Liverpool but still, they cannot have sold out so have they just binned the remaining stock?

Enjoying painting it anyway

Been a while, son went off Warhammer and just played Xbox.

Saw these sitting on the side and thought I might start painting again.
