This has been a project that started summer 2011. I decided to create a Mexican themed squad. The heads, sixshootas and other small parts are bought from puppetswar. The greenstuffing, modding etc are done by myself, used about 2 packets of GS for it. And the paintjob on the orks are done by the fantastic Irish lass known as Ifalna. Can't praise her enough. Dedicated, very good painter, and great communication underway.


The nob himself
The shotgun is from GorkaMorka (1998), biker legs and left arm..


Tekilla-carrying ork.


Maraccas and rokkit launcher...


Most of the gang


And their ride

Complete with roller de muerto


More pictures in my gallery, if intrested.

Phenomenal mate, absolutely terriffic stuff!

Awesome!

Well, I hope you are happy: I've got to go change my pants. More tekilla?

I remember seeing that Ork on Ifalna's blog, she certainly does do some awesome work. I have to ask though.. what is with the pose of his left arm? is he dropping the pistol?

The paint job is really good, but that bike arm and legs on the nob are distracting me from it.... The arm looks really awkwardly posed and unnatural, and bike legs are mostly only good for when you're hiding the ass of the model in a vehicle.

Other than that, it's a fun unit.

Yea i have to agree about that arm, though the way you paint Ork faces is amazing, they look so scary.

That is fantastic!

As the OP stated, he didn't paint the Orks - Ifalna did.

I watched Ifalna paint those up. Every update made me chuckle Very very cool idea and probably an even better follow through. Also, that BW is just fething nuts

LMAO, these are great, love the conversion/design work and painting is so lively.

Yeah this looks cool, and I personally find this hilarious, but is this not a little on the racist side? My morality meter has been broken for years, so I could be wrong.
Tekilla ork looks like he's here to Waagh less, and party more. I would like to demand the sleeping-ork-under-the-sombrero-leaned-up-on-a-cactus objective marker.

Those look really nice there. I wouldnt want to see those boyz jumping the border fence!!

I thought the same thing, but then I guess any depiction of any race could be considered that. At least they aren't really doing anything disrespectful.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Much appreciated.
To answer a bit:
- The left arm.. I agree, it looks a bit strange, the thought behind it was to make him look as big and menacing as possible. He looks better when seen from the side, but I am considering finding the tools and giving him a go.

- Racist? Really? I am taking the wild west stereotype mexican and putting some waagh into it. In my book racism is if I judge someone because of the colour of their skin/religion or cultural heritage.
I guess it must be pretty damn racist that there is only white Space marines too then? Since the black/yellow/redskinned aren't tough enough to get through the selection? No?

It all depends on how you want to paint them

F in' great stuff!!!!

word (or shoould I say Waaagh?) to that!


I'm totally diggin' the "roller de muerto"

Truly excellent! Now we need squig tacos and the army will be complete!

Well done!

Awesomeness! An Orky fiesta!

Salamanders are black... Just saying

gotta love orks. you can do anything to them and its totally fine and usually downright hilarious.

Very nice job, perhaps a little insensitive but a job none the less.

Fantastic! But 'ombre... be carefool. Thees steenkeen peegs of thee Imperium, they gonna deespatch that Pedro Kanto fellow to come stoff you up man! You gotta keel heem! Pam! Pam! He die!

That is hilarious. i especially like the sombreros.

Badges......we don't need no stinking badges!

Perfect!

These are just awesome. They exemplify exactly what the Orks are. Brutal and grim, but still a huge comedic relief for the Warhammer 40k universe. I especially like the "Tekilla" bottles.

Why would you even bring that up? No one else seemed to be concerned, please don't bring up racism for no reason whatsoever.

Some of the true racists are the ones who say things are racist for no reason.
