Hello, welcome to my painting blog, Ive got a sizeable army for my deathskulls orks. Ive been collecting them for around two or three years. Theres no better way of collecting these little green buggers than going buying a ton of boxes of models and help the death skulls loot the hell out of them. In time i will add some pictures of the army as it currently stands and put in some battle reports. currently im gong to add a small amount of boyz to the force, that will be fifty in total-half a green tide. To make this a challange for myself i will paint the whole squad up in a month (dec 12) so hear goes.
its now been some time since ive started this thread> so as every hobby evolves ive now got myself some nurgle to start a fantasy army. Thanks for all the encouragement during the last six months. Also anyone wanting any commisioned stuff done please get intouch

That's a lot of armor you have there! I like your color scheme, it is simple but very effective. I would love to see some more pics.

Those are some cool Orky things you have there. I really like the three looted Baneblades. You have used lots of imagination when you've put them together and I think it has paid off. The addition of all those parts works really well and makes them very Orky. I'm not sure which of the Baneblades is my favourite. I think number two because of the Killa kan turret, that is very cool.

The Dreadnoughts that you have are awesome as well. I've always liked the Ork Dreadnought model.

I agree, those Baneblades are something else. I have a Shadowsword or whatever it's called partially assembled and I may respectfully pinch some of your ideas.

I think the Stompa looks a bit plain in comparison; I would liven it up a bit with maybe a large painted horned skull glyph. I really ought to finish my stompa as it has the same over the top feel as your Baneblades.

that is all the armour i have painted up at the moment. Theres plenty more in the pipeline with some builds nearly finished. Once i get all the infantry done im going to go back over the armour with some weatering powders and varnish them. overall its a realy fun army to build and painting is a blast-once i get a new tank i will add some stage by stages for anyone intrested in it. I should point out that all the painting has been done by me, however a good friend of mine has done most of the large conversions, credit where its due. If anyone has any similar projects to paint up feel free to get in touch, Usaly i dont charge for ork stuff like this, tho i will take any orky leftovers from you as a payment. So next up is all the footsloggers that make up the army....

ive been painting like a man possesed, trying to complite a fifty strong squad in a month is pretty hardcore, so far ive done all the bases and some of the armour, currently on the leathers, that only leaves me wih skin, washes, highlights, drybrushing and metalics to go.......
also ive been checking out the stormraven/thunderhawk conversion thats been going around. Once the mistress that is payday arrives i may look to make one of these then turn it all orky

heres a close up of one of the little fellaz. All the infantry in the army have been painted up to a good table top quality, my aim was to have a big painted army to a good standart. Perhaps even the biggest army painted.
Im not sure if the quality of the pics shows up, any feed back on this would be appriciated.

Wow what a day, if finaly finished painting up 50 orks in under a month. This is not a easy task and its not one i reccomend, but on the plus side the army grows by 300 points. Pics will folow soon.
Im also im the middle af moveing house so i went to grab my carry case to pack away some armour and i have found two built and painted deff dreads and a five strong squad of kannz. Result. Having had some spare time the kannzs and dread have been weatherd too-pics to folow.

I'm not sure if you can call an ork army beautiful, but this one fits the bill.

I know it has already been said, but that color scheme is amazing. Simple but effective. I loooooooooove your armor. All those stompas....

Air power looks great as does all the tanks. The army has a great feel to it and very cohesive.

Have you thought about making a Gargant? Just wondering since you have so many stompas.

Ive orderd up some more kanz, i think three, pluz i have one spare and ive also got three in some break fluid cleaning at the moment. Once they turn up i quite fancy some IG sentinels to make Senti-kanz.

Nice Dreads!

So how much do you play? I use two claws and 2 Kustom Mega Blastas on my dread and it works out pretty well. I know a lot of folks won't have any shooty bits on deff dreads. I want more and I would definitely do one at least that has four claws.

your tide o' ladz is growing too, how many are you at yet?

@ gorgrim I dont play as much as i would like thats sadly for sure, i belive ive got one or two games in since the new edition of the rules came out. My previous list was based around a ork infantry horde, about 180 in total running across the battle field. KFF giving a much better survival rate for when i reached the enemy. That list mostly won games and occasinly drew, with only one defeat. Tho the new rules this list seems not so good, i like the idea of storm boyz, and im dropping the power klaws as they get killed before they strike.
As to how big the entire army is i have no idea, perhaps once i get it all online i will do the maths

Heres the mother load of all box sets. Look on with envy at the shinys. Most of this lot will make my two thunder-orks, the rest is for my ogre army and the deamons are for when i find the right colour scheme/or i take them to gw to pay for the next storm raven.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


So this is the base from this morning, Hopefully the model has some height to it now and look like its actualy on the battlefield, Theres a squad of seven to make intotal, possibly ten if i make the senti-kans conversions. Once this guy was painted ive threw on loads of weathering powders, once this is dry i will apply a coat of matt varnish to hold the powders and a few little bushes to the base. enjoy
