Thank you Camkierhi,

Next unit was some Stormboyz:



A closer look at the Nobz who was built from some damaged and missing parts like the Power Claw ends.

Stormboys, and you still are doing some nice looking leather.

are those guys still part metal? They were the last time i saw some, but that was a while ago.

Battle wagon and stormboyz look brilliant.

However I suspect you need more Stormboyz.

EDC

Really nice work on the storm boys and love the oop fw tank, shes a beauty.

A fine looking WAAAAAGHHHHH!!!! If ever there was one. Love all the vintage models.

Stormboys look excellent, nice work on the Nob.

Thanks amazingturtles. Yes, the bodies with the jet packs are metal ones from an edition or two back.

Thanks EDC,

I have used the Stormboyz as a distraction unit most of the time.

Twenty four more Boyz...all of them Gorkamorka models, they are going to be filling the truks...with a heavy weapon and a Nob:

Now the new codex has Tank Bustas all armed with Rokkits or Rokkit Hammers...so since my first Rokkit armed Orks were conversions made out of Gorka Morka Shoota Boyz and some Imperial Guard Hunter-Killer missiles:

I think I will use the 3 of them as the 'yoofs' who are learning the tank hunting trade and have not earned their tank trophies yet. I figured with the Tank Bustas box set I would then have a unit of eight.

So a purchase off of WarSeer member heldane and I obtained the Tank Busta box for about 45% less than it is here in Canada.



Everyone loves Bombsquigs!

First group painted:

That is a fantastic looking unit bud, of course the bombsquigs rock.

Really top work on the tank busters.

EDC

Thank you Camkierhi and evildrcheese,

Two more Tank Bustas for you and the unit with additions.

Nice work with the Tankbusta Nob. He's looking good.

Thanks The Turnip Master,

Here are three Traks, that are only direct order now. I removed the twin-linked Big Shootas for twin-linked Hunter-Killer Missiles (to be Rockets).

looking good - and those missiles work great as twin-linked rokkit launchas ...it's always annoyed me how ork vehicle kits never come with rokkits, despite them being an option, and quite a good option at that!

Excellent work on Trakks, it's all about the rockets on those guys!

Thanks ZoBo and evildrcheese,

I was not completely happy with the old Hunter-Killers and figure I can use them better on Aircraft and replaced them with these:

They really look the part now!

oh yeah...even better

...I'd like to think that they took the original version out for a test run, and the unshielded backblast from the missiles just erased the upper portion of the gunners, so the angry drivers tore off back to the mek with some choice words, and made him install some adjustments

Thanks stonned_astartes

ZoBo, that is a great explanation!

So I have been on a bit of an Ork and Gretchin run the last couple of weeks. I obtained two lots of Orks and Gretchin from a pair of Dakkites, some were partially painted, about six figures were tabletop quality (although two of them were missing hands?). The rest needed work, sometimes of the stripping variety...but they got me back on the Green wagon.

First up are some more Gretchin to add to my very small hoard of 12 and a Minder I already had.




There is an older metal Gretchin in that group of 6, the second Minder was needed as there are more Gretchin on the way. These Gretchin have had their clothing redone, their flesh highlighted, basing, weapons drilled, etc. Minder was a base coated model and has received highlights and repair work, basing and detailing to get him up to snuff.

I am going to transition from a Kult of Speed style army to a more traditional horde of infantry, not because of any particular reason, but because I was able to get a large number of models for very low cost and can make my horde more Ork like.

Next batch of Grots.




Similar work on these as the previous 6. One is a really old mono-pose Gretchin with a head swap from an even older WFB Goblin head.

The recent editions as a group:

Are you in need of lads? Willing and able to supply a couple.

The grots are looking great and the Wartrukks look great, not sure but I have a feeling you can get these still, not sure what I am thinking though.

Thanks Camkierhi, but I have lots and with the next batch I paint up I will be giving about 15 painted Orks to another player in my gaming group as older Gorkamorka models get replaced.

Here come the Boyz:

Very clean paintjobs, and that old-skool battlewagon is brilliant. Makes my grots green with envy

Nice updates with the grots and boys. I really like the double pistol dude.

Thanks evildrcheese,

That double pistol came from an Ork I picked up from pretre. I repainted his pants, shirt, belts, weapons and highlighted the Ork flesh, but the basics and posing of the model was by him or perhaps he traded for it from someone else as it was different from the rest of the Ork lot I traded for.

Next group of Boyz, including a Big Shoota:
