Thanks Dysartes

I like the rockit pack idea, the roughly same type for all and not ridiculously complicated like the kits I have seen. I too loved the old stormboys, they probably got dropped as not very PC, but they fit in well with the fluff of the day. Not that keen on the way they have gone with the orks really, all just samey.

Thanks Camkierhi, like most of my painting logs (well all of them) I use old models that have been similar to the art of Rogue Trader or the editions just afterward.

Some more progress with the Green Tide.

The big shoota was made from left over parts, so he has GorkkaMorkka legs and the left arm was for a regular Shotta.

The long painting war continues...

**Ezki**

Good looking big shoota fellow.
I like how the skin looks on your orks. Works well with the other colors.

**Captain Brown**

Thank you Ezki,

Some more painted Orks recently sealed.

A Big Shoota, Shoota and Slugga and Coppa conversions.

**Camkierhi**

Really great pics. and the boys are looking great.

**Captain Brown**

Thank you Camkierhi,

Another group of new Orks built from bits. These ones I had the legs for. But was short on Choppas, as the new rules allow for Tankbusta bombs I did two and cut up a Big Choppa to make it into a regular one.

**Dysartes**

Churning through the boyz at a fair old rate, Captain - and they're looking good.

**Captain Brown**

Thank you Dysartes,

Last batch of Orks, then five Grots and that would be the Ork expansion complete.

In this group there is an original Rogue Trader Ork with new arms and weapons, two Gorkkamorkka legs and a torso with new arms and weapons, some Orc bits from the WFB range, all mashed together to make these three.

**Camkierhi**

Brilliant work. Great concertina.

**Dysartes**

Nice hair squig on the guy on the right, Captain.

**Tyranid Horde**

Lovely Orks, great use of bits too! Gives them some lovely variation.

Thanks, I was trying to keep up with your "Twitches" log, but I am almost out of Orks.

Thanks Tyranid Horde, the oldest Ork there was from the first Ork plastic box of 36 models that I split with other members of my gaming group because none of us could afford a whole box at once.

Now working on some Grots gifted by one of my gaming group.

When I finish these I will roll out my latest take on Grot artillery.

Also got two extra Grot heads...so look for some old Gretchen from 2nd Edition to get a facelift...or rather a head lift.

**CommissarKhaine**

Ah, finally some decent greenskin troops

. Loving the little bowler hat, and looking forward to your take on mek guns!

**amazingturtles**

Oh, grot artillery are always a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to those!

**Thousandeyes**

Loving these.

Any chance of a full army shot to see how it all looks together?

Thanks Thousandeyes, I will do another as soon as I finish the last seven models.

Thank you CommissarKhaine and amazingturtles,

As requested, with the disappearance of the Ork Looted vehicle I had been wondering what to do with mine...with the addition of five Grots and removing the Ork crew I have this:

While it might be a little large, I would only field one as a fire magnet.

**amazingturtles**

I was looking forward to it and it was worth it! Nicely done.

**Captain Brown**

Thanks amazingturtles,

Next up is a little fix I have for old Gretchen from the 2nd Edition box. The mono-pose models with a Grot blasta.

So the sprue with 5 of the new plastic Grots provided me with two extra heads.

Now there is more variation besides the paint colours.

The long painting war continues...

CB

**Captain Brown**

Now with paint to complete the change.

**Dysartes**

Man, those autoguns - the head swap seems to work pretty well, Captain, though it reduces their ability to be used as an impromptu caltrop...

**Ezki**

Love those grots!

Also a huge fan of that looted Basilisk, looks really orky. I think it could be used as a Gunwagon? Or a battlewagon with a supa-kannon?

It's sad that there is no proper rules for looted wagons, if the ones released with the chapter approved are not taken into account. Looted vehicles are one of the things that make Ork army so unique.

**Captain Brown**

Thanks Dysartes and Ezki,

The last five Grots to replace those now tending the cannon.

Army shot when I can find the time to pull out all the models.

The long painting war continues...

CB

**Captain Brown**

As promised, an army shot.

Summary: Ghazghkull Thraka, two Ork Warbosses, one Weird Boyz, one Mad Doc, Nobz Mob of 10, Nobz Mob of 3 in Mega-Armor, Mob of 10 Tank Bustas and 2 Bomb Squigs, two Boyz Mobz of 30 with Slugga and Choppa, two Boyz Mobz of 30 with Shoota, Grot Mobz of 30 and 3 Minders, Storm Boyz Mobz of 20, Bike Mobz of 4, Deffkopta Mobz of 3, three Traks which can serve as Squig Buggies, one Loota Mobz of 5, a Battlewagon, and one Grot artillery piece. Every Mobz that can, has a Nobz leading it.

**Gordy2000**

Wowsers! That is a dead proper Waaagh you have there CB!
Excellent to see such a large, well painted Ork army.

**youwashock**

I don't normally pay too much attention to Ork stuff. Just not really my thing, despite how cool some of the models are. But, I have muchly enjoyed your Eldar so I figured I would peek in here. Mind blown. That army is something to be very proud of.

**Inevitable_Faith**

I would be honoured to fight that force any day, beautiful work and would be amazing to see them facing off against my forces on any table. Great work.

**theCrowe**

What a triumph! Incredible work. Loving your grot artillery in particular. Thanks for fighting the long painting war. There should be medals for this sort of thing.

**Dysartes**

That's a veritable green tide, Captain - planning on adding more down the line?

**Ezki**

Good work there Captain!
Did not even realize how big your Waaagh really is. Looking beautiful.
You should be proud.

**kestral**

That is a mighty Green Tide. Great job on the headswaps with the grots. I have a soft spot for those old plastics. The looted vehicle is a classic as well.

**Curis**

I like the repurposing of the old Grots! Very clever.
