Hey everyone, new to the forum, from Cornwall in the UK. Just thought i'd say hi. Starting my first 40k Army - Orks, mostly for modelling fun with some conversions, but also to play the basics and local play, got my paints ready, glue, gubbins and a box of boyz. Starting with some sluggas with choppas, and Nob with PK. Bit confused (slightly embarrassing) by all the extra bits though. Can I use the odd shoulder pad etc to customize my guys? and what about the stick bombz? I know my guys can have them, but can I adorn a couple with them to show they're equipped? or am I way off base here? want to use them as I learn at the shop, so don't wanna glue something on there that shouldn't be. So yeah, hey! noooob lol

Hey! Welcome to Dakka Dakka!!

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

Hey!

Welcome to Dakka. You're more than welcome to stick an extra shoulder pad, arm, head, grenade or whatever to your models- conversions make for some really unique and interesting models. Especially with Orks, you can go pretty wild. I, for example, have each of my Boyz units with different head scuplts, including fez heads, sombrero heads, military berets and russian ww2 hats. As long as you're not changing a drastically from its original specifications go for it

If you're learning how to play at your local shop, I'm sure they'd also be willing to answer any questions relating to painting and/ or modelling (also feel free to ask on here), so ask away.


Best of luck with your Ork army!
