Greetings everyone! From the thread title you have all by now concluded that I am a deff skulls ork player. I will start the thread by giving you guys a bit of info about me.
I started playing 40k at the beginning of this last summer. I play 40k games frequently and I only collect orks. I am very new to 40k but I have started making some small conversions and things. I started this blog to give me the incentive to keep painting and to show all of you what I am up to. I am a pretty good painter... I think. Recently I bought my friends ork army off of him. Here is what I have as of now:

2 trukks
75 boys
6 deff koptas
6 warbikers
2 warbosses
10 gretchin
1 Zapp gun
5 stormboys
20 nobs
1 Gazkhull
5 tankbustas

Right now, I have over 20 boys painted, 2.5 warbikes, a deffkopta, and a warboss. I will post my progress often for you guys. I am willing to do small batreps or tutorials if you guys want. Better pic.'s will be coming I was kinda hurried tonight. Thanks -Micah da Ork

Here is a sample of my painting standard for a ork boy:

BTW, I am in school from Monday to Friday so if you do not see a response to your comment immediately that would be why.

Here is my one of my latest conversions. I made it to be an objective marker... cuz whoo duzn't want da pile of dakka.

I like the objective- it looks like something a proppa' boy would be willing to fight over (as if they need an excuse...)

Thanks it was actually really easy to make and paint up. Just sprue and bits.

Great objective. Good usee of the sprues. Always good to squuze every usable part out of what GW gives ya.

Here are a few boys I converted prior to making this blog. C&C is welcome.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Here is a quick update with a boy who needs the painboy. I did the blood effect with red ink. It takes a while to dry but creates a quite remarkable blood effect.

Very creative conversions here , especially like the ork with huge tooth keep up the awesome

Sorry I have not updated in a while. But here it is, a tankbusta conversion painted up and some grots. I will have another update soon with my 10 new lootas! Without further adue:

Here are the Grots:

love the tank hammer (I hope you don't mind if I steal it )

Keep up the good work!

Great work man

Thanks, feel free to use it.

So I was thinking (that's new), and I figured that grots are not worth it unless they have something big to shoot. IMO, big guns are expensive, so I borrowed/looted my brothers bright lance into a zapp gun. I found it really easy and tons of fun to make and paint, so I might be doing one or two more. C & C is appreciated. I hope ya like it. I added in a grot I painted and you haven't seen too .

Just as I previously said, here is the next converted zapp gun. I will have one more coing most likely over the weekend, so look out for that. C & C is much appreciated. Enjoy!

These are going to look
really cool when there is three of the together. I especially like the second one. keep up the good work

Thanks! I'll have the last one coming soon.

YOU MADE FRONT PAGE AHHHHHH

Yay!

As a fellow Ork player, I love your stuff The twin axe staff is really nice.

Thanks!

Sorry for the tardiness of the update, I have been busy with school. But anyways, I thought I'd show you a runtherd I painted up and a WIP of the last converted zapp gun. I will have the zapp gun finished shortly. Here are the models:

FASTA'S YER GIT.
I'd like too see what else you can do, cuz i like what i see so far.

What else do ya want to see???

I just started a trukk, and I'm working on some stormboys?

Over the period of time between the last update and now, I have finished the last zapp gun, painted a big shoota boy, painted several boys, and painted Ghazghkull Thraka. The last zapp gun went pretty fast and alot easier than the other models I've painted. The big shoota was interesting because it was my first ever experience painting tau. I decided on a pretty basic color scheme for the big shootas and then washed them down a bunch, to show the guns have gotten "nice 'n proppa' care". Ghazghkull Thraka was difficult because I am not used to painting orks with that much metal and armour. I decided on painting his armour with a worntorn red look. I like the result... do you? C&C is welcome.
