Deyz wer once iz boyz, exilez from da Blood Axes dey were. Den deze too doks got tageva an' 'ad an idea. Dey kaptued sum ov dem beakies an' took dere squiggly bitz out an' poot 'em in a ork. Da ork grew stronga. Loadz a boyz, joyned da scheme.
In da end, too bosses rose up an' called dem selves 'Chapta Mastas'.
One waz dead killy in kombat, da ova an al-rounda.
Da one dat was killy in kombat called 'iz boyz da Egsakushanaz, da ova caled 'iz boyz da Howlin' Grifonz.
Dey den separated from da rest ov da Tryadz, but da Crime Lord still givs 'em teef as in 'iz eyes, dey stil 'iz boyz."

Grodgit, Ork Runtherd of da Tryadz

Da dokz hoo joined uz caled dem selvez 'Apofecaries'. Dey fixed dem boyz up 'az soon 'az dey fell. Da mekz cal dem selvez 'Tekmareenz'. Dey fixed dem trukks up 'az soon as dey stoped workin'.
Da Bosses cal dem selvez 'Kaptinz' an' Stormboyz cal dem selvez 'Asalt Mareenz'.
Da Chapta Mastaz changed dere names to dat ov da actual beakie Chapta Mastaz.
Da boss ov da Egsakushanz caled 'im self Arkash Hakon.
Owr boss caled 'im self Alvaro.

Da main boyz are called 'Battle-Broforks' an' da more talanted onez, like me, are 'Brofork-Sargents'

Oh, an a pic:

History of Da Dark Angelz

No boy is quite sure 'ow it 'appened, but dey are pretty sure it started with Grimskab Badwort da pain boy... Ya know, da boyz expect those treated by pain boyz to not be quite "themselves" afterwards, but Grimskab was more than not himself after being patched up by another pain boy during the Piscina IV campaign. At first, no-one thought twice (orks rarely think once!) about his sudden ability to track down da dark green coloured beakies, his success at suggesting ways to ambush them, nor his increased enthusiasm for hacking them to pieces. He was of the Blood Axe clan after all. When he got a little *too* enthusiastic, Morgrim Grimork (Da Boss) still found a good fist would put him in his place. This was, of course, until Morgrim found himself needing Grimskab's "services"...

You see, according to da grotz - Grimskab hadn't been mindlessly hacking up beakies - he 'ad been "extractin" stuff - gin seed or progoid lands or some such. Grimskab had been self administerin himself. Da grotz had learnt to determine Grimskab's mood based on how much supply he had and how long it had been since the last administration. Da boyz began to learn the same lessons once Morgrim had also been administered to - his temperament swung from tactical genius (for an Ork, even a Blood Axe) soon after an "administration" to downright unbearable (ie normal Orky) once it had "bin awhile". He also became obsessed with tracking down da dark green beakies - especially da chaos ones - apparently their gin seed was "pure"...

Slowly over time, as more nobz, odd boyz and boyz required Grimskab's "services" - whether as a result of battle, opportunity or da boss order'in it, da inna circul came into being and Da Ork Angelz took shape. Now dey scour the galaxy for da dark green beakies, tak'n dere gin seed and progoid lands and metabolising it, integrating strange knowledge of tactics, force structure, technology, locations and secrets... - if only their Orky minds could fully grasp what they had been given access to!

Having been patched up with genetic material from a Dark Angels apothecary fallen in battle on Piscina IV by a pain boy (rumoured, but not confirmed to ne the Mad Doc himself), Grimskab became a twisted combination of apothecary and pain boy. Da Ork Angelz, the upper echelons also now similarly administered, have come to adopt a similar uniform, tactics and force structure - albeit from an Orky perspective - including Da Deff Wing and D Rav'nwing. Da boyz don't care - if anything, they get to krump more stuff!

As this is a Painting & Modeling Showcase thread, I'll have to limit my pics to completed miniatures - which cuts things down substantially, but here we go:

Completed Boyz


Shoota Boy


Nob with Slugga and Choppa


Rav'nwing Warbike


Stormboyz Nob with Power Klaw and Boss Pole

Hmmm. . . Got me finkin' now. . . Where's my codex?

Loving that jump pack dude!

And another starts to fall...

Arakasi, I just realised that I have NEVER read the fluff for your entire army as a whole, only da individual boyz

It's all on page 50 for easy reading convenience!

I have a few orky Space Marines... I am taking them to NOVA next week. I will try to take some pictures today.

Ah, thats good!
Time ta read...

Ok, redid the helmet and shoulder armour.


What do you think?

@nkelsch: very nice. I love your conversions. All of them. Great use of bits. Can't wait to see more pics.

@Arakasi: Man I could look at your army and never get board with it.

@Matt.K: Looking better. Linking it more and more each time I see it.

Awesome stuff everyone. Seeing some really nice SMOrks out there.

Working on some more boyz myself.

Cant wait to see what else is out there.

Thanks! I had the full 1500pts out against Imperial Monkey at GW Edinburgh on Sunday. The GW staffer didn't either! The day I have everything modelled and painted... well, it will be a fine day!

Thats a day we all look forward to for your army and our own armies. lol

awesome

Da Deffwing!







its a shame i have no interest in 40k anymore. da Deffwing sits in the garage now.

Thats to bad they have been exiled to the garage. Would be something cool to put in your office or by your computer though.
Awesome job btw.

my computer desk is a bit too small for the whole force, it was expanded with 2 more units of "termies" before i stopped playing 40k.

myabe 6th edition will relight my 40k fire before i decide to sell them off.

What do you think you would sell them for?

And please don't tell me they are coming out with a 6th edition now. Well I guess it has been a few years since 5th edition was released. So if they havnt started yet they will soon.

nkelsch - those are lovely.

studdering dave - that's an awesome yellow/blue combo.

matt - yeah, looks better, now where's da Howlin' Grifonz?

schank - and judging by previous experience, I can pretty much guarantee that cyborks will not appear in the 6th ed Orkex

Nice work all round guys A few pieces are slowly coming together in the dark workshop at the far end of the mek-camp, possibly to make a guest appearance in a blog featuring flyboyz & cyborks (And here when they eventually get finished...)

That sucks. i still am going to do it. But I was gonna do a cybork squad to compliment the ork that you traded me. Might turn in to an army after I'm done with 'Da Brazen Klawz. Wont be as good as yours I bet. Still much to be done with the BK'z

Hmm....
I might have to try some Mentor legion style SMorks....
Since the skin is already green, just do all the armor in white maybe?

Nope I am renaming the Warboss for you that is Marnus Wargarr and the Ultraboyz
Great job,something I always wanted to do.

They will be krumpin beakies (or dying horribly to shooty spam) this weekend so I will try to get some good action shots of the boyz on a rampage.

All the 'ard boyz have air tanks and all of the 'flesh' areas are covered with green stuff to look like flexible pressure-suit parts. Helps fudge the conversions and the arms when you don't need to keep the biceps intact.

Here is how I made the Nazdreg powerclaws:
