Hello Dakka!
This is my first post in this here Showcase forum. I hope I'm doing it all correctly.
Wanted to show off my current completed Orks to an audience greater than the people who have seen them in person. Comments, criticisms and critiques welcomed.
These are the first greenskins I painted. I liked the monstrous nature of the Orc race as well as their humorous brutality and silliness.
The flash unfortunately obscures some of the paint job, but in line with Orc silliness, the Ork one in from the right has a clown motif complete with face paint. My thinking is that he fell asleep as woke up like this after some of his fellow Orks found a stash of paints.

Borcs are the scrambling of Orcs with Boars. Boom Borcs have been given cannons.
I got the Orc Boar Boyz kit, but didn't feel like assembling the boyz as intended. I thought I would put a twist on the idea by making Orc/Boar centaurs. I have only completed 2 out of a possible 5 Boom Borcs to date.

Borcs are the fusion of Orc and Boar. The hoppin' Borcs are what happens with the remains after a Boom Borc is created.
The squig in the back is scratch built with toothpick teeth.

40K Orks:
This is the first scratch built Ork vehicle I made. I wasn't sure exactly what I was going for as far as an in-game unit was concerned, I just knew I wanted it to be Orky. The core of this tank is a toy from Goodwill. It has a sound-effects speaker in it which creates a Zzapping noise, a crashing noise and a shooting noise (which lights up the gun on top). I liked the idea of a noisy, blinky Ork contraption so I got to work. I think this could be fielded as a Battlewagon or a Trukk, the dimensions are somewhat between the two. Because of the Zzapping noise of the original toy, I knew I needed to make a Zzap kannon of sorts, which is what the weapon on the front is. This vehicle has a functional turning turret.

I made a unit of 3 Killa Kans all equipped with Rokkits. I have been painting my
40k Ork machines in a primarily yellow paint scheme like the Bad Moons clan. I don't like the icon of the Bad moons (the moon) or the name itself, so I decided I would call my Orks Flash Teefs and keep the yellow paint scheme. Flash Teef because they're yellow, flashy and loud and Teef because they're bitey, hurty and have the same excessive teef growth as Bad Moon Orks. I created my own icon for the Flash Teefs which shows up on some of the vehicles of a lightning bolt between two Ork Teef.

Muh Deff Dread with 4 Close-Kombat weapons: Saw, spiked hand, power klaw and Stop hammer.
I focused my paint colors on the colors of greatest importance to the Orks: yellow, red, blue and black. Red parts move faster, like wheels; blue parts are lucky like tecknical parts which do kompliqated tasks; black parts for strength and yellow for most everything cuz its flashy and xcessive.
Both of the lower weapons on the Dread, the Power Klaw and hand have moving parts, which makes me happy.

40k Gallery
My two battlewagons, each equipped with one big shoota.
Both Big Shootas are turrets which functionally rotate. The wheels on the Battlewagons rotate. The second Battlewagon has a functioning lift gate on the back.

40k Gallery linked above.
I am also in the process of working on an Ork plane (convertible between Blitza-Bommer and DakkaJet)

Bonus points if you can identify any of the junk these kontrapshuns are made uv.
Thank you, Dakka, and God Bless.
