Update sort of:

Finally saw the light and picked up a wet palette! Im so in love with this thing its slowed. I should have more boyz painted to show by the weekend.

i just got to say i love the idea of your chaos orks and i can imagine this so well
the tank need to be a bit more ripped up and orky if you know what i mean
and send us some more updated pics

I love the concept, and the models all look fantastic. I've always wondered why we never saw Khorne Orks, and you have done a great job not just of modelling them, but explaining how they came to be. I'll definitely be watching this thread!

EDIT: Also, this made me laugh:

Great what has the galaxy gone to.
oh great
the templars will purge them.

That sculpting is amazing! It almost makes me want to try my hand at it......almost.

now oyu have another fan your last nob is amazing with all those scars now thats what i would call a khorne devotee and a SKarboy

Khorne wants a Stompa...

EDIT: and a looted WE Dreadnought as a Deff Dread

Wow thank guys, i really appreciate the comments!

@Scotty - Honestly you just gotta try it cause that's how you get better and make cooler models than what you normally thought you could do. I totally thought that my last nob had like an 90% chance to be crap but i already now feel way more comfortable doing huge sections of all sculpting. Dive in!

@P4NC4K3 - Oh those are coming hehe, maybe not the Stompa for quite some time but i have some plans for the Deff Dreads once i get some more sparky bits and riches.

Excellent...

Really nice stuff you've got going there. I can't imagine Khorne being happier than having a bunch of Orks working for him... so, right off the bat, the theme is pretty brilliant.

Add in some excellent sculpting, converting, and a great paint job (especially with the new scheme) and... well, I guess you've got Da WAAAAGH Eaters.

Keep up the great work; I can't wait to see what's next.

First, thanks gitsmack i really have enjoyed your stuff so your praise means a lot!

Second, I had intended to post pics of more painted boyz but im unhappy with the result. I think i used too many variables and it takes away from the cohesiveness. I used 3 shades of brown for all the clothes to mix things up as well as switching the red armor with brass in certain places. I can still post them later tonight or tomorrow if you want to see what i mean but if not ill just work on fixing them then posting the fixed shots.

hey, ive had the exact same idea as you. except im making a full Chaos Ork Codex... im at school atm rite now tho, but when i get home ill post up all of what i got for you if you want lemme know

Update:

Rethinking the project i have decided that to make it more in line with the fluff and look/feel of the army im going to be running my army as a CSM list. The idea being that i can forget about making 120 boys and concentrate on making 20-some to the size and standard of my last Nob. Most of the ideas and work already finished translates well anyways and i think this direction will make for a really striking army.

Thoughts?

1. I want pictures to see what they look like.

2. I reckon running them as chaos is a bad idea - the fluff doesn't support it, and since when have orks deserved a 3+ (I think) save!

...I think you need to (re)read the thread my friend.

Ok so my first model since the new direction. I decided that my big guys needed bunny ear representation so viola:







He's got a lot of cleanup to do as well as a banner and gap fills but you get the idea. His size is consistent with my other Nobs (now Berserkas') so thats not an issue. I am in the process of re-basing my existing Nobs to the standard infantry bases for gameplay reasons.

Not the most involved conversion i have ever done but i wanted to pay homage to the first Waagh Eada Boy i ever made (see 1st page).

In case your wondering...

Yes that is my blood...
Yes i anoint my minis if i happen to slip...
No, no one has ever questioned my devotion to the hobby...

hehehe the close up of that ork berserker looks really bad-ass

Alrighty, sorry for the delay but i was out of the country on a pilgrimage to GW mecca for a while! Ok so that wasnt the reason but whatever, heres what came for me in the mean time:

Its hard to make a really cool dynamic khornate dread without too thoroughly ripping off Hellblade but this is my attempt (with a heaping amount of homage and respect to Vincent Hudon and his crazy robot )

Frontal shot of my new Dreadnought:


Side:


A better idea of the positioning:


A mock up with the base:


Underside (treads):


The upper chassis has two of the clawed mark IV arms and im planning on a wide armed stance, half of a taunt half about to crush something sort of pose. The base is cork and snow terrain which through testing can be painted to look amazing as desert sand. I plan on creating a banner for him and trying some freehand and it will be thoroughly orkified!

Hope you good people didn't forget me!

EDIT: That second pic has a good example of that bleeding on minis thread in the discussion forum. Freaking resin...

Wow, this is turning out to be a great project! Glad to see you are dedicated, and keep working at it! I like the theme, no matter what fluffy reason you have for making it, it still totally rocks with AWESOMENESS!

Nice. Good to see you're still working on this army Pete.

Nice conversions. You should make a greater deamon of Mork and Gork oh and nice concept too(the name made me chuckle)

*Hug

looking great, i love the idea of it and it would be an awsome army when you get it up and running

Do a defiler dedicated to Mork or Gork. Instead of runes of binding, you could have runes of STAY IN DERE YOU GIT!
