OK i'm new here on dakka, however i'm not new to the hobby or converting/kit bashing, so here is my question....

Whats next???

I have my stompas, i have my dread mob, i have my goff horde, and i have my speed freeks (pics will soon be on here if i can prise the camera away from the missus ) but i dont know what to do next?

Couple 'o' ideas so far.

1 Ork freebooters, big pirate warboss with "power hook" lots of flashgitz but sorry no badruk (although he is awesome ) backed up by lootas and some looted goodies maybe some aporkalypse units

2 Bloodaxe kommandos. i was thinking a vietnam theme with shoota boyz in waagh kopters swooping in for the kill making for a really mobile army with lots of fun conversions tankbustas hiding in the bushes

there are loads of thoughts and ideas, these 2 are my favs so far but i'm also open to suggestions

Cheers

Welcome to Dakka, and I can't wait to see what you have so far. I have been looking around for oddball things to do with Orks for a while now, and have a few ideas myself. Most of these are from the old OOP Ork Freebooterz codex:

1. A Human Mercenary band - Basically the fluff around these guys was that Orks would conquer huge tracts of space where humans still lived, and the Human worlds would be knocked back a few millenia's worth of tech. Think Diggas from Gorkamorka. If they were tough enough, they could be part of the Ork WAAAGH!!

2. Chaos Orks. Nothin' better than a huge tribe of Stormboyz of Khorne to scare the pants off of the enemy.

3. Ork Genestealer Hybrids. It is very hard to convert Orks to the Tyranid cause, and the Ork reproductive cycle is such that most Cults don't last long, but they do have better weapons and better aim than the usual Ork

4. A Giant Ork-ifyed Ordinatus engine type thing, with accompanying Mek-'eavy army.

5. Use the old Chapter approved article's Savage Ork list to build a tribe of dim-witted (That's saying a lot.) Orks.

6. If you go on over to Warseer, there is a thread about a 40k scale BFG corvette used by an Inquisitory. 40k-scale Rok? GW did it with the Spacepig, if you've ever looked into Apoc. Reloaded.

7. Ork Muties - Orks that have been around Reactors/ Generators/ Obscure glowy junk for too long, and now have extra limbs. I myself will be making a Horde of Orks like this, so I have tons of ideas on the subject. Fluff too.

8. Armoured Krumpany- 'Nuf said.

Those are my ideas for army type things, but I also have a few oddball things you could pursue as well. Things like Apoc. Data Sheets and such. I hope you find something worthwile.

If you're bored you can always start a revolution... a grot revolution Make them fight your orks... loot their looted stuff... steal their shinies...

Oo you can try something like my upright guys I never finished :/

im not really into orks but im curious about this "power hook" for your ork pirate captain!

Been doing lots o thinking and i think i've got it,

Picture this... Ork waaagh knocks out an imperial world, the orks do what they do best, loot the world and then bugger off. however they leave behind all the grots that werent quick enough to get back to the ships (and the ones that werent allowed on ).

So sed grots band together and form a "rebellion of sorts" (see where this is going )

However whilst wandering the ravaged landscape the grots stumble across a downed imperial transporter that the orks missed which, unfortunately for the orks, happens to have an imperial tank company on it, the grot oilers manage to get things going quite nicely (for a grot repaired imperial transport) and they decide to go pick on the orks that left them for dead wagons roll .
