The Ultra-Orks
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Line up boyz, taktikal position! Now!"

The orks in squad 2 immidiatly went into order as drilled, pushing and shoving for what they believed was their spot. "Feed 'em dakka!" was shouted, and the boyz opened up with their bolters, shredding the advancing imperial guardsmen.

To see such discipline from orks would throw many an unknowledgeable enemy off guard. They wern't any ork clan - they were the Ultra-Orks.
Chapter Master Arnius Killgar was the ork warboss of a deathskull clan. He led his orks into many a battle with the Ultramarines, due to his admiration of them. Bulked out in blue armor, they were sure to please their ork gods, and they put up a good fight. They were dead killy.
Killgars boyz took to looting the armor of the space marines, letting their Tekk-orks repair any damage and 'improve' them as the Mekk-gods pleased. Killgar outfitted the orks with the looted armor and weapons, and inforced vigorous drilling practices. The boyz were organized into squads and chapters, identical to a space marine chapter organization. They became known as the Ultra-Orks, and boasted supreme 'taktikal' abilities than other ork clans.
They ride into battle on looted rhinos and land raiders with their tops ripped off, to help with '
taktikal decisions', as the 'argz say. Any space marine armor looted is painted in a bright blue, and yellow trim in the case of the second battle krumpany. These were the older colors of the ultramarines, "back when they were better at krumpin'" Killgar will say. As deathskullz at heart, they believe the gods are pleased by the vivid blue, and figure they get a good kick out of the lads killing the enemy with the same gear and taktiks.

But all you have to worry about is that Arnius Killgar and his Ultra-Orks are here, N' they be lookin' to krump you!
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone! I'm new around this neighbourhood, but not to 40k. I've played and owned around 8 armies before, and have sold most of them off. I'm currently working on a huge daemon army, but don't have the funds for the gross amount of greenstuff needed, so while waiting to work on them I'm going to work on my Ultra-Ork army that's been sitting on the shelves for the better part of 2 years.

They started by me wanting a space marine army, without having to play a space marine army. I had tonnes of models as they were my second (or third, been too long) army played. I had just picked up a bunch of orks from an auction, and got to work.

I built up 1500 points of orks based around the theme of Half a battle Krumpany, and left them to gather dust. My goal is going to be painting the army in 500 point blocks per month (hopefully, we all know how that goes), and keeping you guys updated along the way!

I'll leave you guys a teaser for now, andtomorrow I'll get some pic's up of the built army, and I almost have the first squad fully painted, so look forward to seeing those by the end of the week.


WAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Hoooray! Ultra-orks!

You going to run them as marines or orks codex?

Using the ork codex definatly, the final 1500 pt list (themed around half a battle company) is rougly going to look like this:

Ghazghkull - 'Arnius Killgar'
Old zogwort/warphead - That librarian the ultramarines have
3/4 Nobz with trukk - Command squad with rhino
5 Meganobz - Terminators
10 Lootas - Devistator squad
3x 10 shoota boyz with trukk - Taktikal squads with rhinos
3x Warbuggies - Attack bikes (assault marines are deployed either with jump packs or on bikes)
Battlewagon - land raider
Deff Dread - Dreadnought

Still playing around with the list, trying to represent everything half a battle company would have, and still keep an effective list.

Beware the Smurz! This sounds awesome. Subbed!

Awesome! Love SMOrk themed armies. Cant wait to see more pics.

You ask for more, you shall recieve more!

Got out the army and took some pictures of what I had. For the full 1500 I'm gunna need another rhino and dreadnought, and a couple more devistater boyz. But here's the starting point, gunna be bringing you through them in more detail as I fix 'em up and paint them, 500 points at a time.

Overview


Rough 'Arnius Killgar


Wierdboy (Gunna be in first 500)


Command squad


Meganobz


The taktikal boyz (rhinos gunna get alot of tlc)




Lootas


Stormboyz (probably wont get used)


So the first 500 is gunna be the wierdboy, two taktikals in rhinos, and 3 meganobz! Almost done painting the first squad then gunna work on the rhino, pics soon hopefully!

Peace!

Very nice looks promising. Cant wait to see them with paint.

They look great. Very fun conversions, and those poses are perfect. I think the weird boy is my favorite, but Killgar is epic too. I'd like to suggest maybe switching two of the back banner icons in the command squad though. I think the skull and laurels would look better on the banna wava. I love the termis! Great poses.

Really good job! Seems like you put a lot of effort into this and it makes for a very unique army.

Are you planning on using the rhino as a looted wagon or a trukk?

This is so wrong - but oh so amazing at the same time!

Keep up the good work - any chance of closer shots on the painted guys?

Also, do you have a cat or something, or are those pubic hairs?

I usually don't like projects that stray too far from established fluff, but this is just too great! I like that you're still running them as orks and not marines, too.

Keep it up!

Cheers,
Rawson

EPIC NESS.

All i can say is base them and paint them all and these will be a epic army

Very cool idea. You're also a brave man to cut up the Space Hulk wolverine wannabe for an ork fig! I had a similar idea back in third edition that was mainly to annoy a particularly ardent Ultramarine player. I was planning to paint up my tyranid army in Ultramarine colors with a nid flair as they "adapted" their natural camo to their environment after fighting on Macragge.

^ LOL

Aight guys, I'm going to be painting my Daemon Prince next, so the least I could do was give you better pictures of what I have done. Still in the works, got small details to pick out on alot of the guys.









Chapter badge, first time doing it so I figure it'll tighten up as I go along. They also have squad markings on the other pad.


Not much left to be done, might have 'em finished soon.

A really interesting pun on the Ultrasmurfs!
Keep working!

Cool!

I especially like the boy with the =][= "helmet". The paint job is very nice and I love the poses. Great execution.
