Space Marine themed Orks. They have been showing up more and more lately. Like that rash you got last summer in camp you never told you parents about.

I can't say that I am immune to the SMOrk bug. I've been working on my 'Da Brazen Klawz for about 6 months now. And I am no where near the first to make a SMOrk army.

One of the more popular and maybe the most popular in my opinion. are Araksi's 'Da Dark Angels. He has done some wonderful conversions with this army.

There are many more out there and many more in the works. I know of a few Dakkanauts who are planning to do a SMOrk army.

Matt.K came up with the suggestion that someone should start a SMOrk showcase thread.

So if you have or if your planning to start a SMOrk army and your want to show off your work or the latest great idea you may have come up with for a SMOrk themed army that you want to share with everone here is the place.

And if you see any work or ideas that I have done or said feel free to use them. I didn't come up with everything in my army on my own. I have had a lot of help from many people on this site.

I will have a master list of all who post their SMOrk armies or ideas for SMork armies in this post of the thread just to see how the concept is catching on.

So just to get the ball rollin' and not to be one to start a tread with out pics here are a few of my army.

Warboss


Dread-ead

I think that warboss needs...wait for it...MOAR DAKKA!! They look very cool and I love the pirhana plant next to dread-ead

I like , thats the beauty of orks you can do nealy anything and it looks cool , the eye on the dread-thingy is really neat too.

You can never have enough dakka. Maybe he could use a shoulder mounted rokkit launcher.

Thats one reason l love the orks. Just about anything works.

But I know you SMOrk enthusiasts are out there somewhere. So lets see those armies or ideas you have come up with.

Lol, that is cool.

Well, I'm here, the idea maker!
I'll be making a prototype soon!

I had an idea a bit ago, and I'm still working on my first unit. So far all I really have is a half-assembled Ork Boy, some sketches and a few paragraphs of fan fluff, which I'm not sure people would actually want to read in a show-off thread.

My Orky forces: Da Orktramareenz!

HA! 'Da Orktramareenz! I love it never even thought about using them as a SMOrk army but you converted the name over nicely.
Well done sir. But show off what ever you want to in this thread. Your sketches, fluff anything. If anything maybe we can help you with anything you may be stuck on are some areas that may need some fine tuning. But personaly I would love to read your fan fluff on your army.

Thanks everyone for stoping by. Once we get this baby rolling I think its gonna be alot of fun.

I think I must of been hit on the head at some point but i've not actually heard of SMOrks before! . . . Please don't hate me!

How's it work rules wise?

Do you use a Marine codex? So its essentially a counts as army?

There are a few differaint ways to play them.

Myself and most others I've talked to play them as standard oks from thr blood axe clan that have adopted

more of SM tatics than IG. So instead of como paterns they use SM color scheme from what ever chapter they

may have faught aginst the most.

And you could use the standard SM codex. Kinda like the Grot armies using the IG codex.

I mainly started mine just so they wouldnt look like your run of the mill orks. Whated to add some more character

to my army and my conversion skills where not that great when I started. But reading others threads I learnd a lot of

tricks and technics to inprove my conversion ability.

Looking really good schank.

That was pretty awesome. I'm not sure about having them in all term armor but bits and pieces of it might be cool.

puma713 wrote:Is that Dread a Bom-omb?

Why yes it is. I was a candy container that I got some where and it was about the size of a dread and I thought it would be cool to convert.

Frawg made one also. We had a friendly compitition on them.

@palehorse

What you can do is just paint the cloth part the color of the SM colors you want to use. kinda Like this guy.

I was speaking about shoulder armour...

You can always use SM shoulder pads or the ones that come with the ork models. Heck or what ever bit you can find in your bits box or around the house that might work for a shoulder pad.

Well I'll start painting after lunch

Lol, a lil pirahna plant. You need a venus fire trap that counts as a scorcha! Nifto paint scheme too. Two-toned beatsticks that say Waaaaagh!

Wow great mario ref. lol great job.

Finished the prototypes

Again Red and yellow.

Wait
I'll do 2 nob mobz, one Howlin' Grifonz, da ova Egsakushanas


Then 2 warbosses...

Ans schank23, I'll allow YOU to do da Chapta Masta (Well you did plan on doing them first...)

Good God man might as well do 2 armies. Thats alot of orks. Unless you plan on doing a split force. Half of each army.

2-3 units each to start off with, then I'll elaborate on that

I know people like pictures so here is a group shot of my amy that I have painted so far to date. You may have seen in in my 'Da Brazen Klaw thread already but here it is again.

Wow, I just got the bug!!! I have got to jump on this bandwagon!!!

I'm thinking about doing all my armies this way from this day on.

New codex, buy new ork boxes, and orkify them. I love it.
