Creating a real ork mob, with your help! - the Dakka Dakka Clan - Final Call, this is ending 1 April @ 2015/07/16 22:50:29


Post by: kb_lock


-UPDATE-
I bet you thought I was dead. Nope, but I have had two kids since starting this thread, so that is PRETTY CLOSE TO THE SAME THING.

Anyway, I realise that this has dragged out, so I am putting a hard stop on it - 1st April, or thereabouts, I am going to get oadie and Buttery Commissar to ship the orks they have to me, and then base them and take all the final shots for this project - I may end up donating them, or putting them on display, or whatever - I have no idea. I have still never played a game of 40k, and I can't see that changing in the future, so I don't need them.

SO, I have sent a message out to everyone on the list and asked that they finish up by then if they intend to.
-/UPDATE-

Previous update(s):
Spoiler:



Hello Klansmen... wait, that sounds terrible

Screw it.

Hello friends,

I have just PMd all of the original North American brohirrim, and hope that they will still be able to paint. Most of you are rather prolific posters, so I know you're still alive.

Why on earth am I PMing you when I don't have orks for you? WELL MAYBE I DO? DIDNT THINK ABOUT THAT DID YOU?!?!??!

There will be an update soon(tm), but I have firm reason to believe that soon(tm) you will all be holding an ork, ready for paint.

I am also about to PM all of the ~in progress~ orks that have been delivered to ROYAL BRITTANIA and her colonies to see how you're all doing. No judgement here, I love you all and whatever, but don't make me Jimmy Whales eyes you. I'll do it, I swear to god.
-UPDATE-
UK models should be in your hot little hands, some have been returned to Buttery Commissar (THANKS!)

US models will be shipping out soon, oadie is pretty busy at the moment due to a whole lot of misfortune - please be patient, the waaaagh will wait.

Australia models are definitely all received, and Januine's has made it back(!)

There is no due date folks, add them to your painting queue and do your best when you feel like painting them!
-/UPDATE-

-UPDATE-
Euros: If you are on the list, and have sent me your address, you will have a model coming to you in the next few weeks. Models are in the UK right now, and will probably be shipped out next week. If you are not on the list, and want to donate a model, please PM Buttery Commissar for their address to send your completed model. If you want to donate models but not paint, PM me.

Ameribros: If you are on the list, and have sent me your address, you will have a model coming to you in the next few weeks also. Models are actually in oadie's hot little hands, and will be shipped out soon(tm). If you are not on the list, and want to paint a model, please PM oadie as they have their own stash of models they are donating. If you want to donate your own painted model, please PM oadie for their address.

Australiasians: Whatever yo, there are only four of us anyway. PM me for all your orky questions.

-/UPDATE-
-UPDATE-
Buttery Commissar and oadie have received the European and North American shipments respectively. They will be shipping out soon(tm) and you should receive your models early next month!

Another super big thanks to BC and oadie, you're both really super.
-/UPDATE-

-UPDATE-
Shipping is happening today - ALL MODELS ARE ALLOCATED, everyone is getting one single model for maximum randomness. If you still want to join in, you will need to donate - I won't pay for your plastic, but will happily pay for your shipping. I don't mean to be a jerk, but it should be fair to all. Each package that reaches you will have a small set of instructions with it covering the very few requirements for this, as well as return addresses and labels. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS!
-/UPDATE-

-UPDATE-
Shipping is sorted, these will be going out soon(tm), you will get them in a month or so - there will be instructions in the package. You are all my favourite people
-/UPDATE-

-UPDATE-
So shipping is wrecking me, apparently - BC has generously offered their time to reship to the UK folks, I need an Ameribro to help with the same there - I will ship everything to one person, they distribute locally, you all ship back to that person, they ship to me (or whatever).
-/UPDATE-


Hi folks,

An idea formed in the "I paint your model" thread that if I sent out a stack of orks to a lot of different people with a vague idea of what clan they're from, they resulting differences between them all would look amazingly orky.

So here we are, if you would like to paint an ork or two, I will send them to you - you paint them at your leisure, and send them back when you can. I'm happy to pay for the postage back, obviously.

The models themselves are from Assault on Black Reach, so I am going to make them part of the Goff Clan MAN am I dumb, this should obviously be the Dakka Dakka Clan - that said, I don't really care - if you can just make them look orky, I will be more than happy. You can feel free to customize them, do an amazing paint job, do a super horrible paint job, dip them, battle damage, whatever - there is literally no way you can go wrong, unless you are Buttery Commissar and intend to paint them hot pink, which while it MIGHT work in some capacity, I don't want to encourage it.

Dirty, filthy, green orks - black gear, red/yellow/blue accent colour, checkerboard accents if you can - I literally don't care - this is your homebrew ork clan as much as mine

The only thing I'll ask, is don't base them - I will base them myself to ensure cohesion with the entire lot of them. Oh, and please send them back, finished or not

I would like EVERYONE that has the desire to do this, regardless of skill level, to feel free to join in - they are orks, you cannot stuff this up, no matter how bad you think your painting is, and I will appreciate your help.

Thanks!

-----

More details from below;

Oh, I should add, I will send these little buggers out off the sprue, with a base, lightly cleaned of mold lines - if you want to mount them to the base and/or do a better job of cleaning off mold lines, it'd be appreciated but not necessary - whatever works out easiest for you guys!

I don't care what green you use, and ideally it shouldn't match - your best judgement of an orky green is fine.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, write your name on the bottom of the base or something so I can make sure to keep track of who is who

Sounds interesting. How many orks are you trying to have in total? If it's not too small of an amount I may do it... I just don't want to be embarrassed by my painting (I'm not THAT bad. Don't get scared.)

Go on then.
If I hadn't literally just posted my wolf out to you I'd have asked if you could work exchange on one of my IG.

As a serious question, do you need the skin tone to match a particular green? If you tell me the name of it I'll do my best.

I have the Ork half of the Assault on Black Reach set, so;

1 Ork Warboss
20 Ork Boyz
5 Ork Nobz
3 Ork Deffkoptas

If more people are interested, I can probably dig another box out - I think I have stormclaw here somewhere.

Oh, I should add, I will send these little buggers out off the sprue, with a base, lightly cleaned of mold lines - if you want to mount them to the base and/or do a better job of cleaning off mold lines, it'd be appreciated but not necessary - whatever works out easiest for you guys!

I don't care what green you use, and ideally it shouldn't match - your best judgement of an orky green is fine. Send the trooper back when you send the ork, then he can hitch a ride back again with the dragon.

I'll go in. I'd like to paint a HQ style model or something a bit bigger than a regular Ork Boy if you have anything lying around.

I am also in Sydney (if your location is correct). So I could probably pick it up off you/drop it off and save some postage.

You can see some of my own orks here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/417721.page

Yeah mate I can do a Deffkopta, can use it to inspire the 6 of my own that I need to paint.

I'm in Glebe, so near enough to the CBD most days.

Thank you all folks, 17 Boyz and 2 Nobz left unaccounted

I will paint whatever doesn't ship, but may ship a few boyz out with whatever nobz go

Anyone else interested in signing up, please do so.

I am also starting to worry about how much shipping these little buggers is going to cost

Less than getting them commission painted?

Hit me with a PM if you don't mind sending some out to Canada. I'd be willing to do a Nob and a few boyz if it helps you get the whole lot done.

Well, since we're swapping minis rather than me sending yours back I'll happily add in a couple of Boyz if you want to send me some in return. The Nob is actually almost done (what can I say, I am too eager...) so it's no hassle to paint up an entourage for him in the same style!

Let me know how many you want done!

Heh, I know you're taking the piss, but it is something that hadn't escaped my mind. That said, I would be surprised if I got change from $300 at the end of this, excluding models. The real thing is that I don't play the game, so having someone else paint my plastic is the bigger cost to me - anyone should consider themselves HIGHLY PRIVILEGED to be handed one of my mandollies

Realistically though, if this all works out I think this could be one of the most amazingly unique sets that would simply be irreplaceable - if any of you are ever in Sydney and want to play a game with the set, I will happily let you do that - it is ours as far as I am concerned.

Happy to ship to Canada mate, thank you for the offer - PM me your details and I will get it shipped out on monday

Well, here he is! Gorgutz DA Slica, armed with a 'Squig's Foot' shoota and a Kustom 'Kut-more' (as opposed to a Kutless, geddit? )








Still a finishing touch or two to go, but this is basically what he'll look like, unless there's anything you want changed/emphasised/toned down/added.

And since I forgot to mention it before, I definitely think you deserve a huge amount of thanks for organising this! It looks like it'll be a wonderful community project when it's done, and I hope you feel the result is worth it!

That is absolutely everything I'd hoped for and more dude, brilliant work.

What I want is rather irrelevant - I was expecting most folk to be working in the dark from each other so the end result is utterly random. Touches, changes, etc aren't mine to make - they're yours - if you think that your Gorgutz is an accurate representation of the Dakka Dakka Klan, then he is

Edit: If you can't paint to Paradigm's standard, don't be disheartened - I want your orky creation just as much!

Yeah, I am really keen on seeing how it all comes together - was going to name them after whoever painted them

http://www.plasticmodels.eu/en/w40k_aobr_orks.php

That is the dude, doesn't seem to fit together but I am sure you'll figure it out.

Also, customisation is the same as colour and whatever else - completely up to you guys with whatever you think will work with the Dakka Dakka Klan

No way, they're mine.

Looks like we are pretty much done - I have 8 Boyz unaccounted for, waiting on 2 dudes to send me their addresses and then assuming I don't get any more requests, I will add the remaining to people who offered to do more than one model

Going to the post office in ~6 hours, will let you all know.

OH, and a small caveat - I was looking after 3 sick women all weekend, so none of the mold lines have been cleaned or barrels drilled - my apologies

How do I get involved in this? I have a couple Nobz I could spare for the cause. Maybe even a Burna Boy or two (since who uses Burnas anyway?!)

Up to you mate, I can send you a boy to paint, or you can paint and donate a model - paint it up, ship it to me and I'll add it to the horde

Yikes that seems a bit pricey!

Perhaps you could send out a bulk lot to a kind of 'hub' member in each country, rather then as individual packets, who could then send them on?

The 'hub' member would then have to pay domestic shipping rates which tend to be cheaper, and perhaps anyone that is painting could pay return shipping back to you KB?

It would mean everyone participating would have to pay out a bit, but I think that the project would be worth it in the end.

Yeah, that is what I was considering, but it does complicate matters a bit.

I would more than happily cover local postage costs for anyone doing that, but that doesn't account for the time it would take messing around with packages and post office stuff. Additionally, it'd mean giving out that person's address, and all the other people's addresses to that person.

The list is;
UK - 11
US - 3
Canada - 2
AU - 1
Other - 1

Any volunteers to on-ship?

Would like 1 person in the UK, and 1 in Canada/US (whichever is cheaper to ship to the other from)

I will provide you with sticky labels for packaging with recipient addresses on, and return labels to you to make it as painless as possible - but you will presumably need to spend 2 hours in the post office messing around with boxes and tape and whatever else. Additionally, you will be the receiving point for them all to come back to me.

I will cover whatever shipping costs you need to pay, can even include shipping packages. I always intended on paying for people's return shipping too - you can feel free to pay for it yourself if you feel so inclined, but what I really want from you is paint stuck to the models - and I am happy for you to not be out of pocket for doing that.

Sure, we are all part of what looks like an awesome project, but while we all gain something, I probably gain the most by holding the finished set - only makes sense that I carry the costs in achieving that.

Sorry guys, I could have researched this better - I just had no idea that a tiny 20g piece of plastic would cost $1/gram to ship!

If you could get a pack of these tiny pop together boxes, and folks send the orks back and forth unbased, it could work out pretty well.
They go through letterboxes, they don't crush, and a lot of mini companies use them.

Works for me Mike - you can convert it and do whatever you like to it.

Thanks BC, you're a star. Anything above 20mm thick here gets considered "package", which has a minimum starting price of $20 or so to ship internationally.

The guy at the post office said I could just give them to him if I didn't want them.

Aye, just a thought, plus they can also go back and forth inside the UK for 74p in those little boxes or a jiffy.

Don't base them - I will base them myself so they are all the same. Given that some people will glue them into the bases, and some won't, I will work out how best to base them when they show up. Might even put it to a poll

Yeah, it got shunted by a week - I have them all with me now at work, and will ship them out by Wednesday.

Buttery Commissar has been good enough to offer to redistribute to you eurobros, so I will send it all there.

Jaunine and the aus/nz folks I will ship direct.

I still haven't got a solution for Canadians/Americans as yet - if anyone wants to redistribute for me, I'll give you a virtual high five (pimp slap my monitor).

How many North Americans are on the list, kb? Don't want to get your hopes up too high, but I may be able to help with US distribution. Scheduling is a bit wonky and the post office is less than close (my town has 5 zip codes), so I couldn't guarantee super-rapid deployment, but this project is too cool to allow a whole continent to be left out due to lack of initiative.

PM me details and I'll let you know what I can do. If small (and safe) enough packaging can be sourced to fit through a mail slot, I could ship them from a local drop box instead of driving out to the PO, which would save time. I have my own stash of AoBR boys, so you might even get back more than you send.

oadie,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0IA3ZvCkRkQ#t=51
I'm not embedding it because the forum embeds like a piece of rubbish.

OK, I now have distribution sorted, a collection of grey plastic in my hot little hands, and a song in my heart.

I will PM everyone involved so far and let them know what's up - the people doing local distribution are oadie and Buttery Commissar, both of whom I would consider members in very good standing here in P&M - if you trust some random Aussie with your address, you should trust these good folk as well.

If you aren't in Europe or North America, I will be shipping to you personally - you lucky devils. I think that is like 4 people.

~PACKAGES ARE GOING TO TAKE TIME~ BC and oadie are busy, Australia Post is utterly horrible at everything, this is being organised by me - all are amazingly good reasons why it will probably take a month or more for you to get a tiny piece of plastic.

If you're donating your plastic orks, there is no hurry for you to finish - I will send you the addresses to send them to, but they will not be coming back to the land down under until at least 2 or 3 months from now.


Automatically Appended Next Post:

Dakkalance, PM me your details.

There are still about 8 or so ork boys - if you want to get involved, pm me asap so I can send your details to the relevant distribution partner - you can post here, but if you aren't giving me your details, that isn't really going to help.

Hello all,

So been working on my contribution, a Mek. now I know Bunker Bob has said he will do a Big Mek, so I am aimng for a Mekboy.

Could I have some help here, I don't play (unfortunately) but I do have a codex. Could people please confirm, Mekboyz are not allowed Powerklaws?

My current model, though the left arm is only Tak'd on....


I need to sort his left arm, I do have a normal arm to go there instead, but this just kinda came together and seems natural.

He will have a magnatized weapon on his shoulder mount, at least one will be Kombi-Burna, thus the tank on his back.

Any help ideas are welcome, and please be as critical as you like, I have a thick skin.

I have a suggestion on return shipping that might save a bit of money;
* Find which country has the cheapest shipping rates. I'm guessing shipping single figs from UK to US and then from US to Japan would be the most cost efficient.
* Find a dakkanite that wouldn't mind bundling them together for you.
* Ship to them to said dakkanite and have him make one lump shipment.

Speaking from ebay experience, overseas shipping will probably be mUUUch cheaper in one go; and shipping a single figure first class to a single location only tend to run $2.30 a fig inside the US.
UK also seems to have cheaper shipping rates to US than visa-versa. (Correct me if I'm wrong, when I order bits from UK it only costs about 2Lb, whereas shipping a 3oz package here to there runs about $9)

If the people shipping back to me can't get the figure to be under 25mm thick, it'll count as a Small Parcel, which is £2.80
Sending the same item back to KB would be £4.45

Food for thought.

Para, most unfortunately, I only require the Nob now and not the Boyz - they can still, obviously, be honourary members of the Dakka Dakka Clan, but they will be in the British Division.

As it is, everyone is doing one model, so assuming I get them all back, it should be quite a collection. Add to that the inclusions from benevolent donators, and this should be pretty sweet.


Automatically Appended Next Post:

As for shipping, UK to AU is ridiculously cheap - a big box of stuff will be bugger all.

US to AU is a bit worse, but still not the end of the earth.

As long as everyone gets their stuff in so it is one package coming back, we'll be good.

I updated the op too;

Shipping is happening today (update: it has all shipped) - ALL MODELS ARE ALLOCATED, everyone is getting one single model for maximum randomness. If you still want to join in, you will need to donate - I won't pay for your plastic, but will happily pay for your shipping. I don't mean to be a jerk, but it should be fair to all. Each package that reaches you will have a small set of instructions with it covering the very few requirements for this, as well as return addresses and labels.

So, Buttery Commissar is kb_lock's UK/European distribution center and I'm the one for the US/North America.

kb was kind enough to pre-print shipping labels and instructions, so you North American folks should all have a pretty easy time getting stuff from, and eventually back to, me. If you're a youngin' whose parents wonder who the "this Alan guy from New York" is that's sending their kid mystery packages, that'd be me. Please explain beforehand - I don't want to end up on any lists... I'll ship the whole lot back over to kb when everything arrives, to keep costs down.

Also, since this mob is to be a part of Waaagh Dakka (reread the OP, if this surprises you), head here to see the color scheme. kb_lock seems pretty flexible, but there's already a convenient article to give you a rough framework. I'd recommend running anything particularly 'out there' by him, first.


Notice: The following has not been mentioned to, nor approved by, kb_lock:

If anyone else in North America wants in, contact me through PM. I'm willing to throw in a few extra bucks in shipping cost (I already have Boyz to spare - will have to check stash to see if you'd get AoBR models or bodies and bits from the normal kit including some AoBR slugga boyz) to make sure this project gets done right. This isn't an open offer for free models, just an extra chance for anyone who digs the project and arrives late to the party. There's plenty of time before anything arrives to me from AU, so contact me in the next few weeks if you're interested.

This all seems like a lot to plan, so direct any NA shipping/timing questions to me to keep things simple. Conceptual or international questions, direct to kb_lock. This is his baby, after all; I'm just a wet nurse.



P.S. - Let me know if anything here warrants retraction or amendment, kb. Also, you're planning to photograph and add this mob to the previously linked Waaagh Dakka article, right? Because that NEEDS to happen!

I concur with everything oadie said. In addition, if you want to ship your own painted Ork models to him to join the waaaaagh, I'm happy to pay your postage.

And yes, I'll be taking pictures and adding it to the article for sure

A bit late to the party here, but I love this idea and very impressed that you've managed to get it off the ground so successfully.

I see that you're whole army is accounted for, but if you're still trying to accumulate then I'd like to contribute.

Not painted an Ork in some years mind you, but I reckon I'd manage one or two.

Let me know if you're interested.

Excellent, I'll try get something started in the nest week or 2.

Is the scheme in the article linked above by oadie the one we're following (http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/How_To_Join_Waaagh_Dakka#Step_3_-_Paint_Your_Model)

Does that go for model selection too?

Also, would you rather modern models? Just because I have a few 2nd ed Orks knocking around.

You don't need to follow the Waaagh Dakka exactly, the only real thing is that they should be green and dirty. I like the Waaagh Dakka colour scheme a lot, but what I like doesn't really matter - if you want to put blue highlights or clothes on them, go for it. Orks are a ragtag bunch of filth, that will come together really well in a random "do what you feel is best" fashion. I don't want to provide a ton of direction - I trust all of your respective judgements.

Any edition of orks will do - whatever you feel looks good. If WHFB orks will fit in to some degree, they would also be fine.

Consistent base theme you have found - there isn't one. Not attached to the base or simply primed - no idea what I will do yet, but it is better if I do them all at once.

KB, this is an awesome idea! I can't believe you actually got this together in such a short time. If you are willing to take on another Warboss (or nob, though he'll be quite sore about the demotion), I have an ork that I'd be willing to donate. He's a mix of WHF and 40k ork bits for a snakebite feral army that never really got off the ground.

I present to you: Blacktoof, and his trust squig Da Hoppa!

Obviously I need to strip him back to bare plastic and remove the base. But if you're willing to take him, he can be a representative of the feral orks and those who stick to the good old ways of bashing face in with metal and leather.

Haha, he looks awesome. More than happy to have him added to the waaagh matey. You don't have to completely remove the base if it is a pita for you, I've got tricks for custom bases already attached.

You've either motivated or utterly demoralized a ton of painters there mate, that is brilliant.

To everyone else that isn't a golden daemon winner, don't feel like i won't love your little Ork less than anyone else's. The point is that they will be all different - some will be amazing, some will be less so. They're orks, that's how they should be!

I don't care what green it is, if you have any green, that is the correct green.

If you do not have green, feel free to mix blue and yellow together.

If you do not have green, blue, or yellow, well then I'd need to ask why you signed up to paint orks

Depending on how the date falls, I might be able to sneak an excursion for the mob to Nottingham and get some photos of them on the lash in Bugman's somewhere suitably epic for the British group before they fly back.
Depends on whether I'm due for a game that week.

Consider it a postcard of their 'ooliganism.

The North American shipment has arrived, safe and sound! I'll make no apologies for lack of expediency, either, since 'laid back' was a major stipulation under which I signed up.

If the stars align, I hope to get them posted within the week. If not, they should be out by the next, at the latest. I'll chime back in once they've gone out (or I've taken long enough that I start feeling guilty ).

Yeah, you're good, Boggy Man. I received the shipment from kb_lock, and will (hopefully soon) be getting the unpainted models out to North Americans that offered to paint on the condition of receiving a model. Anyone promised an ork will get one in a few weeks and anyone offering donations of painted orks can PM me for my address - I'll add it to the lot I will eventually ship back to kb, which won't happen for some time, yet.

kb: Great job with the packaging. Pre-printed and self-adhesive labels make my life much easier and all the top labels seem like they'll separate just fine. Now I just have to find out the cheapest shipping method that won't result in completely crushed and distorted models, then physically get down to the post office.

turns out there is a bit of a kerfuffle instead there will be at least one extra model needing painting, not sure if it is uk us or both yet though - BC you may want to check your stash as that means I've probably short changed you a nob.

PM sent.

The only orks I have in the house date back to RT, so would look massively out of place against modern ones. So I’m going to need one imported. I missed out on AoBR myself, it was at a time where I wasn’t buying much 40k.

I reckon the range of stuff people will be sending out will be pretty diverse, it might be quite hard to find an ork that would be massively out of place. I personally intend to send a couple of pieces of 40k Ork Heritage along with my own contribution. And I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the only one. Chances are there'll be considerably more greenskins flowing back to Australi-Waaagh!!! than were sent out.

Yeah lots of good hearted folks are sending in some awesome stuff, will be really interesting to see the whole lot. Just the concept of it is making me want to actually continue building a full Ork army, I've already started eyeing off a Trukk...

This little guide was included in each package, though some of you will not receive it, as I ran out, or you are donating models or whatever - here it is:

Hello fellow dakkanaught! Here is your Ork for OUR Ork Klan – the Dakka Dakka Klan.
Instructions are simple;
1. This is your army as much as mine, if you do your best, and what you think is right, it will be.
2. Green skin preferred, dark/gritty/dirty as well – again, use your judgement.
3. PLEASE DON’T BASE THEM! You can glue them to the base and prime it if you like, but I will do something to make them all match and bring them together.
4. I have included a return shipping label to get it back to either me or the US/UK folks helping me with distribution. Cheapest shipping is preferred, but PLEASE pack it well so your work isn’t ruined.
5. I will pay for your shipping! Send me a PM with the amount you’re owed and your paypal address and I will transfer it. I know paypal is horrible, I can only apologise.
6. There is no real pressure with this. Ideally I’d like you to finish and return it in two months, but this is a model you are painting for free, I am sure there are more important things in a lot of your lives – I understand.
7. If you want to pull out without finishing the model, I also understand. Please return it and I will reimburse your shipping.

KB- you got a tracking number for the parcel you sent me? I'm trying to track a parcel from amazon at the minute too - muppets sent it to germany rather than korea so was totally lost and delayed

No tracking, that was like an extra $40 or something - just wait it out, worst case I'll just send you the cash to find a replacement locally, or ship you one from ebay from here and let them worry about tracking

Consider it a postcard of their 'ooliganism.


I will take a pic of mine near a local landmark (Oxford - probably the dreaming spires from South Park). Might be entertaining to have pics of individual orks around the world. bit like the travelling gnome.

You can either have a RT era metal ork

or a Gorkamorka Games Day 1998 limited edition Nob

.

Let me know which you'd prefer, and I'll arrange to paint him and get him to the UK 'distribution hub' (possibly ALSO with an Oxford backgroup shot, if you're lucky).

WinRAR, thanks mate. Over the original box we are now +2 Nobs, +2 Ork Meks and +1 boy - Once it is all done, I will probably continue to add to it anyway.

Nah mate, it's cool. As it is, no two models will have the same painter, and I think that is probably the best way to get this done for now. Thanks for the offer though! Feel free to pain him up as part of the Swedish contingent that lives at your house!

The last nob arrived safely, kb, and I snagged some small boxes from work that should protect the somewhat bulkier koptas while in transit. Still no exact estimate for when I'll get the NA lads in the mail, but anyone donating from their own stash can still get a head start!

Cheers KB.

Just took a couple of quick (not great) ipad pics there.

Meet Marlok Brandork.....

A freebooter of no fixed abode, he travels in search of the next big race or the next bigger ruckus. He is equally content in either.

An antisocial, rather grumpy Ork, Marlok likes to consider himself a bit of a loner, joining bigger bands of Orks only for personal gain and perhaps a little excitement.

Throughout his travels he'll offer very little in the way of conversation or even acknowledgement let alone friendship.

However, despite his insistence on solitude, since he left home years ago, he has never ever managed to shake off loyal little Strabla the Gretchin.

Much to his annoyance.

Well, it seems some of the fastest painters are also some of the most impressive (as a fellow Alan - the proper spelling, mind you - I doff my hat to you). Could it be that painting faster means painting more means getting better? Seems logical enough...

So, if you want to paint better, join Waaagh Dakka! Free trial Orks to North Americans (found more in my model stash), as long as you're not opposed to shipping your practice pieces back to me for eventual inclusion in kb_lock's glorious, actually physical (as opposed to a conceptually awesome, but merely digital - check the Dakka articles) DakkaDakka-sourced Waaagh!


@kb_lock: P.S. - You wanted a mob. You offered the idea, ponied up the money, and spent your time organizing. One way or another, you're getting an army. Not a huge one, mind you, but more than a meager squad of Boys and a Nob to lead them. I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be slow (apologies to any NA painters chomping at the bit!) at shipping, let alone painting, but I'll reaffirm for the twentieth time my commitment to this project. Let's get some fresh blood and extra goodwill in here and make this a project/thread worth remembering!

P.P.S. - Any increase in return shipping due to increased volume/weight is on me. If a few more join, I'm happy. If an unexpectedly high number want in, it's first come, first served until I'm no longer comfortable pitching in. I can ship in two waves, domestically, if need be, but I'm only sending one box back to you. Sorry for trying to escalate, if your display shelf space is limited!

Just a step by step would be ace, fella, because I don't have the orks here with me until tomorrow, to check who's already got one allocated.

Update from the OP;

Euros: If you are on the list, and have sent me your address, you will have a model coming to you in the next few weeks. Models are in the UK right now, and will probably be shipped out next week. If you are not on the list, and want to donate a model, please PM Buttery Commissar for their address to send your completed model. If you want to donate models but not paint, PM me.

Ameribros: If you are on the list, and have sent me your address, you will have a model coming to you in the next few weeks also. Models are actually in oadie's hot little hands, and will be shipped out soon(tm). If you are not on the list, and want to paint a model, please PM oadie as they have their own stash of models they are donating. If you want to donate your own painted model, please PM oadie for their address.

Australiasians: Whatever yo, there are only four of us anyway. PM me for all your orky questions.

That's look brilliant mate, I was going to airbrush the skin rather than the metal - did you do it that way because of coverage or simply because you think the skin will suit brush highlights more?

Excuuuuuuuse me, kb. I may have long, slender, ladylike fingers (if you can look past the copious scar tissue and mangled nails) and baby-like soft skin (barring the fingertips, which are generally shredded and abrasive, if not currently softened/slicked by fresh blood flow, but I do have broad, manly (but still supple) palms - seriously, it's nigh impossible to find gloves that fit a hand with man-palms and lady-fingers. Winters are rough, as I'm either numb or clumsy, thanks to the limited options available to me). I HIGHLY doubt that the majority of Dakkanauts would find my hands 'hot' (in the "attractive" sense) or 'little.' Also, I was just near an air conditioning vent, so my hands are superficially cool - on average, tepid - if you were implying temperature. Choose your words more carefully, next time!

Translation: I decided to check in on the thread, after a 'drink or two,' and insisted on posting a non-bump bump. Uhh... I mean, I'm quite invested, and wanted to maintain lively discussion. Yeah...

Just wondering if any trophies on these miniatures should be in particular legion colours/guard regiments/craftworlds etc?

Obviously I can just choose whatever works for me, but if we can slip in a subtle nod to your favourite opponent, so much the better.

The will most likely fight against my Ultramarine army, and are AOBR orks originally, so as heretical as it sounds, Ultramarine trophies would probably make the most sense.

That said, Astra Militarium tend to die in their droves enough that the orks would certainly have some of their trophies as well.

Really though, I don't mind mate, whatever you think works best - now you've given me the idea I will probably tie it into the bases somehow

Quite so! Still haven't heard from Bavius, so I haven't even dipped into my own stash of Orks that I offered up for the project. Message me your info and I'll send a boy your way. If you'd prefer to just throw one of your own into the mix, I'll send you my info, instead. Either is fine with me - just drop a PM.

To Redflex (and any others wondering): I'd like to say that I'm just waiting for stragglers to get in before a massive shipment, but my department head has been out, due to a death in his family, so we've all been pulling extra shifts. Nothing has been sent out, yet, and likely won't until the end of next week.

I'll be out of town for a wedding, starting tomorrow, so get your PMs in over the weekend and I'll be able to respond early next week. Hoping to have a finalized list before I finally make it to the post office.

Ork player here. Well not really.. I use lots of 3rd party ork models combined with unhealthy amounts of GW bitz, more WW2 vehicle kits than I can shake a stick at, lots of IG vehicles (I have three god-damned baneblades) and the rare fully GW ork model. All of this is combined into a surprisingly organized and cohesive looking Orkish horde which I run as either Imperial Guard or more commonly Renegades and Heretics.

The point is that I field gigantic mobs of 50 screaming orks and call them a mutant ramble. They're backed up by 120mm static WW2 Long Tom artillery pieces which are called Earthshaker Carriages. It's pretty spectacular.

If you've got a boy or two left to send my way I'd gladly paint them up.


.. I should also mention that my orks are purple.

I am going to paint up that Dire Avenger Exarch head (in background) as a trophy to stick on a base.

Nicely done! I'm starting to feel bad for the NA folks, as I haven't shipped anything out, yet.

You'll all get your allotted models, of course, but I'm currently swamped with work and am still getting stragglers joining in every other day. I'll have to establish a cutoff date, soon enough (at least for the first wave - I'll do a second if interest keeps up), so PM me soon if you still want to join in!

Scout's honor - I'm not flaky, I'm just a bit sluggish.

Faz that is great work mate, reminds me that I should keep on painting (though, I do have the skin done now at least!)

oadie, no stress at all mate, I'm just happy you're going to do it at all, I don't particularly care when

I'm not worried about you, kb - I just don't want to raise the ire of all the folks waiting to join your WAAAGH! Orks aren't known for their patience, after all...

Skin done, just did the left shoulder in checkerboard, worked surprisingly well.

I painted it with leadbelcher, stippled thinned Vallejo red primer (I don't know what I was doing) all over it, stippled a mix of bonewhite and pallidwychflesh over that, masked it with 1.5mm squares of Tamiya tape (in a really terrible fashion) then painted it with abaddon black.

It looks pretty orky, thinking about giving him some tatts as well, no idea what colour to paint his leathers though, or his hair

Two little orks have comes swimmying back.

They're at my parents' house because there's always someone home to answer the mail, but I'll get a photo this afternoon.

Unfortunately the first to arrive has some simple breaks. Mum isn't going to try and mend him, but if I do a British mob photoshoot at WHW I'll probably use a minute amount of glue and tack him back together for that, let kb do a full-mend back at his end.
The second that came today (Para?) is fine.

Is that top rotor upside down?

I also like that it looks like he fell out HEH

I need to make it a bit more opaque, and then I might do some freehand designs and weathering after that.

It was actually the bottom rotor that was the wrong way around, I did manage to cut the glue out and get it back together the right way around. The rotor still comes off, just both pieces are together.

Dangerous life riding jet bikes. Very good chance of a spill.

So yea, the model arrived in good order about a week ago, but the bloody kitchen had been getting sorted...

Anyways, I thought I would get some work done on remodelling this bad boy to a more personal dynamic.

After seeing what you produced for the painting challenge I am super keen to see how your freehand looks. Oh that rotor was upside down, that makes sense - probably doesnt matter for orks either way

Most recent example of my freehand work was this banner. It has been a while since I have done patterns though.

Here's mine, should be in the post in a few days.

(Prepare 2 clean handkerchiefs). I have never got the minimum 5 votes for an image. I would appreciate some votes in the gallery.

Spoiler:


The Dire Avenger Exarch head has a flat cut on it, so it can be glued to a base. May need to go the base of a nob, or something with more space. Will need some flock tucked around the edges.

Mine is continuing nicely - skin and teeth done, clothing mostly done, just weapons, armour, additional parts, decoration... OK maybe 'continuing nicely' is an overstatement.

Mine's not just bare metal any more.

P.s. he was already on a Gorkamorka base, but you can just snap/snip that off when he arrives, it won't be painted/finished at all.

Hey all, thought I would post up some WIP pictures of my Ork to bring the thread back to the top.









Thats mostly all of the basic colours done, though I did somehow miss doing his skin under his gun arm, and one of the straps on his chest.

Next up, highlighting.

Many thanks Paradigm, I had to do it once I saw the strap layout on his back!

I added three greenstuff straps, became fustrated trying to paint freehand red/white stripes, tried again another couple of times, then eventually got it to the point i am happy with.

Is the protocol to include 'finished' pictures here, or leave them as a surprise for lock then have him/her post the whole gang together?

No need to hide pics as one as they're resized.

Think I received your Ork yesterday. No damage in the post.

Think I accidentally mailed my blank to theCrowe, but still have two Blanks here, so it's all good.

Inspector #264, where are the other 3/4s of the flag?

That's coming along really nice - Januine has finished the warboss as well pretty much as well -> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/660442.page#8121311

My dude is getting there as well, I'll post pictures once I get a wash on the skin. At the moment I am focussing on some DA devs.

Shipping cost reimbursement:
I've managed to stuff up my paypal account, which has meant that I haven't paid anyone for their shipping yet (so far, it is only Paradigm on the list of people that need to be paid.) It's happening, it's just slow. I am sorry for the delays, I was hoping to have it sorted last week, but that's shifted to this week due to other issues (uni).

That warboss is a masterpiece!

My own ork boy has received a few light modifications and a black undercoat and has well and truely bunked the que ahead of hundreds of goblins to be next in line for painting. It'll be nowhere near as jaw- dropping as the warboss (which is as it should be I suppose) but I'll do my utmost to at least still hold my own with some level of pride. I'll upload a pic of him (beside our local landmark cause I love that idea) when he's presentable.

Is mine the only Dakka-clan ork in Ireland?

Yep - limited edition Gorkamorka Nob from UK Games Day... '98 maybe?

The plastic Gorkamorka lozenge base did not survive being separated from the painting cork, so I've packaged him with a spare round slottabase (unattached).

The yellow was a big departure for me from my usual pallette of black red white and occasional grey. Turns out all my yellows have that age-old problem of offering about 2% coverage, so needed a literal 15 coats brushed (over white!) to get a semi-even basecoat. I'm quite happy with how it came out, though I keep thinking about deeper shades on the plate edges of the gun.

They yellow looks nice and clean. I swear I have washes that cover better then the yellow “paint”. Props to anyone who can make it look good.
