Hello folks, first time wargamer here. I'm not sure what to say so I'll just start with a little bit about myself. I've started wargaming later in life (27). As a regular player for DoW1 and 2 I started playing with the orks, subsequently I seem to fall into more Orks by accident, either through people giving me them or otherwise. Currently I'm looking for advice, I want to make my own Army with it's own flavor and balanced rules, nothing to extreme just some silly extras I added myself. My army is going to very halloween themed, with the Warboss being a named character called Deth Rippa Da 'Eadless. I'll be taking his head orf and replacin' it wif' a small ceramic jack'o'latern to size. In fact all of my orks will be specters and will be painted white with a blue wash (for skin).

I'm thinking of calling them Da Spookahz and I'll have all kinds of silly little backstory for them and their own symbols and what not.

Tell me what you think.



Oh for added fun I'll leave you with this:

Warboss: Death Rippa Da 'Eadless

Notable Nobs: Rot Face (used the Ork skull for his head)

Troops: Punkin Boyz (all normal boys will have pumpkin heads with jack 'o lantern faces)

Ghost Koptas: Deth Koptas that look like they've suffered a lot of damage. etc.

Anye advice or ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Heyya and welcome !

Great idea, very orkish
I hope for some pictures soon ! I want to see these pumpkin faces
And Da Spookahz seems a fine name. I guess your opponents will have fun against this army.

Hey Welcome to Dakka!
I personally think that idea is immense! Looks like a lot of converting though.

Welcome to Dakka!
That army is going to be awesome!

Hey
Welcome to Dakka!

HAHA! Awesome! Welcome!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. SInce this is my first time modding any advice anyone can give is always appreciated. But for now I'll leave everyone with this:

Da Voodoo Git, a weird boy converted from a Nob.

Considered crazed even for a weird boy he's the only living unit in the army and as such communes wif' Da Spookahz.

Great ! Now I am awaiting to see him painted !

Looking forward to seeing Da Spookahz

Welcome to Daki Dak!

Hello and welcome.

Looks like a good conversion! Welcome to Dakka.

Welcome.

Thank you everyone that has posted such kind greetings. Because of this I shall leave you with Rot Face,the ork that started it all

These are genuinely amazing I can't wait to see them painted!

Thanks guy, when I get the time I'll get them painted, for now I have to wait for a blue wash to give them that spectral look. My friend Matt updated Da Voodoo Git's look with some chains to make him look more Weird Boy
