Finished my big mek tonight. really hate the join in the arm showing up so bad when I did the wash but its not too noticeable from a distance and I happy with the rest of him.






With both HQ choices made and painted I feel like im getting somewhere with these guys, now for 90+ Ork Boyz to buy, make and paint

Oh boy, the dreaded "painting the boyz" part. :c

But that mek's looking great! And I just noticed how big his robotic feets are. About the right size for some good an' propa stompin'.

Ouch, that's a whole lotta boyz. You're making nice progress, though. Keep it up man.

Thanks guys for the support as always. haha the 90+ boyz is just what I want for the green tide list I wrote up I can play a less boyz more toyz list at the moment but its a sad day when the orks are outnumbered by most MEQ lists at my gaming club...

Oh, that's sad indeed. Good thing that you're thinking right and propa, and getting more boyz!

Always need moar Boyz. Itz da propa wayz to krump da humies.

Some day there will be a horde on this blog that will make the imperium tremble.

Painted up that flyer base tonight.

Painted a looted rhino. tried to make it so the former dark angles green colours were starting to get re exposed in places that are still actual rhino plates. Im pretty meh, as I have no motivation for this project at the moment. Some pics anyway...

That rhino's gonna count as a mekboy junka? If not, you should really consider it, since it does look a hell of a lot like one.

I don't really know what that is, but it sounds forge-worldy. my gaming group doesn't use forge world stuff unfortunately so im using it as a trukk.

aww shucks. Well, it doesn't hurt asking. Still, I think it looks great.

Looted Rhino is spot on! The gun mount is great. Warboss looks great in Blue! Dakkajet base looks awesome, too. I really like your bionik-legged, kustom choppa-wielding big mek. Awesome all around. Keep up the steady progress, man!

Thanks guys, always appreciated.

Great stuff, nice work on the jet base, and I like all the paint-chipping detail on the trukk, really cool. Looking forward to more!

Everything looks really great! I got some Deff Skullz myself but nowhere near as great looking as yours. Definetly subbed and expect me to er, borrow some of your ideas

Thanks buddy, always nice to hear from you, there will be more. Iv been looking forward to your stuff too but no updates? still with the camera troubles?

Thanks, glad you like them. Loot away mate, loot away. If anything im flattered any of my ideas are good enough for you to want to "borrow"

Cool stuff! Like how you try to pack your boys with lots of details like more Ammo, headset etc..

I hope you find time to paint all your projects, so i can see more photos

Thanks for the feedback project900

Its been a wee while since my last update by my standards but that's only because it took me so damn long to paint these up but I have these 6 (yes 6) ork boyz completed, they are the first of many so I think this project is going to take me a long long time .


















Please let me know what you think.

Love the work man! Really Orky!!

Thanks Kelly.

I agree, they look great. Good use of blue here and there.
But wait, is that Ork with the big shoota HIDING behind a barricade?

Nope. Its just in his way, he is about to kick it over and Rambo a space marine

Just came across this thread now and spend the last few mins reading from start to finish! Everything looks great, your conversions are both inspired and technically awesome (those plasticard skillz ), and i love the painting!

Subbed and looking forward to seeing some more

Thanks man much appreciated!

Good, I was worried you had a coward in your ranks there for a sec.

I was wondering, dem Deff Skullz are known for paining not only their weapons and equipment blue but also their skin (which I always found really difficult to paint on a mini so I don't really do it myself). Are you planning to do something like that at some point?

You know, I really want to do something like that but I just don't know how to go about it without it looking tacky, but its something I can add in the future when I find a good technique.

Finished all 11 shoota boyz from the box now. Feels good to have completed unit

Group shots.



Close ups.




Ammo Joe.




Thanks for looking.

Finished a Killa Kan, Two more nearing completion so more to come.





Thanks for looking.

More. slightly converted so all 3 have big shootas. The lighting makes the metallic paint look kinda bad in places, but you get the idea.
