Just out of curiousity, why are the catachans writing Ork hatemail in ork speak?

Well. They are not catachans, firstly. Ork hunters regiments are made from remnants of regulary regiments which survived some xeno-purge mission and Lord General Kurov instead of refill regiments, he took surviving veterans and mad Ork hunters regiments. And now(3rd Aramgeddon war) regiments took recruit soldiers with sixth sense for ork from other non-armageddon regiments.

And ork hatemail? They fought so long with ork, that they are almost like orks. They need respekt and i think that hatemail can made som respekt

I definitely see it in the vehicles, but the troops don't really carry the theme, visually - they look like rough and tumble jungle fighters, but nothing says "Ork Hunters." Perhaps the occasional Ork trophy spread around the troops would help drive the point home? If you have a friend that plays orks or you visit bits sites, I'm sure you could pick up "toof" jewelry, shoulderpads, and ork skulls to supplement the odd shoota and slugga you've currently got mixed in.

They look good, but they look mostly like Catachans to me, I must say. I think Ork Hunters are awesome, but these guys aren't really Orky enough.

Glyph plates, teeth (or should that be "teef" ?), cut down Ork choppas/knives. You need some more Orky touches.

Great Catachans!

I am now accepting commissions for any hobby project! I've been in the hobby since '92. Specializing in traditional brush methods, creating a gritty dark aesthetic. From single character models to entire armies. From individual terrain pieces to entire table tops. From tabletop level to masterclass level painting. From purchasing and assembly to leveling up your assembled armies paint job. If it has to do with the hobby I can do it! Hit me up and let's chat about your project!

Looking really good I did something similiar many years ago.....Far worse painted off course. It's a really good Ork Hunter army the painting is excellent and too my mind the subtle touches work well. I'm hoping to see more although personally I'd use the Snipers as Snipers in special weapons squads rather than Ratlings.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

A don´t think that my paint job is excelen, i am really lazy ass and i need paint quick because i need full paint at tournament. Hmmm, personally? Czech republic is kinda far, but i hope i someday made some friends in UK so I came and play .

About snipers. I have one platoon with Al´rahem and i don´t think that snipers are good for outflank. I this platoon i have 2 special squads, one with plasma guns and one with demo charges. Assault weapons are for outflank better

Company command squad(with Astropath)


Platoon command squad(With Al´rahem)


Ratlings(only eight of them, because 2 are....just bad)

Nah the colours work and well my Ork Hunters never have received paint 9 or 10 years later so your making more progress than me. Personally I'd have more than one platoon but then I do use over a 100 men in my current Guard list....

Well. After firtst tournament with IG, i must say, it wasn´t bad. 32nd in General, 24th in overall(General + paint + sportsmanship).


some observations:
Ratlings are bad, in my army they are out
Chimera for company comand squad is overkill, I need a CCS to survive first turn(after it, most of my reinforcement), so camo cloaks can be enought
Special weapomn team with demo charge is, well...useless, they are out
Autocanons on sentinels, well, multilasers are better
Harker´s squad is sitting in cover so they need bigger guns! Second Heavy bolter!

These few changes can´t change fact, that Ork hunter army is fething awesome and funny to play!

There is few pictures!
Front side of tournament T-shirt(last year won Orks!)


Me in first game(sad picture but still won 20:0 against Renegades of Vraks!)


Second game against Sisters of Battle(I lost 17:3 because sisters have TOO MANY FLAMERS )
