New Warboss looking to through his boyz into the fray. So, I'll be posting pictures (not painted
) and little fluff write ups on each of the characters. You can offer name or fluff suggestions, anything and everything. Coming up, Big Mek, two Mek Boyz, a Warboss, a Weirdboy and a Painboy. (also, sorry for picture quality)
The Big Mek here was the first to lead this Warband. He and his mob of likeminded Mekboyz amassed a decent sized fleet of cargo ships, and used the promise of battle beyond other Orks reach, to persuade them to join him. He had built a sizable force, one on the verge of taring through the galaxy, and with his cargo ships getting bigger and bigger guns, it seemed like the Big Mek would be capable of doing so. Before beginning his conquest however, one of his Meks picked up on a planet, dense with hostile life, and teaming with Orks. Seeing the Savage Orks from above, he thought he'd put one more notch on his belt before heading toward Imperial Space. First, he blasted the planets surface with ship guns, setting the forests aflame and beating the mountains into craters. Winged beasts ascended and fought the ships, but it was only a matter of time before the guns shot them out of the air. He then made planetfall and lead his army of boyz to smash whatever was left. Up from the dirt the savage orks of the planet rose and charged head on into the fight, but they were not merely boyz. Every one of them stood the size of a Nob, and as the two waves of greenskins smashed into each other, a battle commenced that would take eleven Terren days to complete. The Big Meks army outnumbered them 10-1, and though the savage orks had far less tech and little in the way of "propa" weapons, they made the Big Meks forces fight for every inch. On the Eleventh day, the Big Mek came face to face with the savage warboss and for the first time in his life, the Big Mek was on the defensive. He had never seen an Ork so large, and for hours they fought until finally the Warboss had won. The two armies halted, seeing what had happened, save for two Mekboyz. they ran blindly at the victorious warboss but were stopped in there tracks by a savage shaman (weirdboy) who spoke to the warboss. Another Ork, one off the healers (painboy) took to the Big Mek as the warboss haulted his killing blow. He had become the leader of a new army.
Healed, he now fights under the Warboss as part of his counsel, as they try to again amass an army.
The two Mekboyz that ran to the Big Meks aid. They have a brotherly rivalry between them and are usually around the Big Mek when they aren't drinking each other under the table.
Living on such a hostile planet, one does not survive unless they fight. The Ork tribes here fought each other, as well as the beasts dwelling in the shadows ever since the orkish spores made there way here. This Chieftain was the largest off his kind on the planet, and lead the Scale Huntas against the Fire Breathas for years. Fighting winged beasts on foot was no easy task, especially one piloted by a Fire Breatha's Dragon Rider. It took a combined effort of many orks to harpoon and then drag one down, not to mention kill it once it had landed. But this warboss, they say he could spear, drag down, and kill one of the beasts by himself. When the Big Mek landed, the chieftain ordered his tribe to harpoon the metal beasts down, but they bounced off the scales of these new creatures. He was even more surprised to see the Fire Breathas fighting them in the sky, as he had thought they breed a new mount. When the boyz landed he was far from where they had landed, but he cut through hundreds of boyz to meet the Big Mek. None of them proved a challenge for him, combat was his life, so much so even for an ork, save one lone KillaKan. The grots inside must have found their courage, because though they were defeated, they brought his rampage to a screeching halt. When he finally cracked it open, he saw it was manned by two grots. One popped up and smacked him, more of a love tap really, before the chief flung him into some tree far off the battlefield. Finally, he made his way to the Big Mek, and here his assault was unrelenting, his armor too thick to be cut through. The Big Mek was resourceful however and proved no slouch in combat, taking the left hand of the chief in the ensuing brawl. After hours, the chief had dealt a fatal blow with his axe, the Dragon Clippa. As he rose to kill his opponent, he was stopped by his Tribes Shaman. "Dis ork strong, keep'em up and ee show us da stars."
I'm thinking the grechen on his back manning the twinlinked shoota are the ones from the KillaKan, also explains his PowerKlaw. They need names too.
He now leads what remains of these two armies, as they gather more to the cause, taking trophies as he goes.
The Shaman (weirdboy) of the Scale Huntas Tribe. He helped guide the Warboss against the Fire Breathas. Now, he councils him still, as they drift among the stars.
Ork healer (Painboy) was another to council the warboss and continue to do so even now. He brought the Big Mek back to life after his battle, and has a few upgrades to show the Meks appreciation.
Family shot with some random stuff in the back.
Its a mob army with a lot of boyz. A few savage orks remain, and serve as nobs but most of them had died, as showing in my army. I also hope to grab some dragon models eventually to represent the Fire Breathas (count as Ork Bommers and such).
Also have a few terminators converted into meganobs, they probably wont be canon here but if it can fit.
Any suggestions?
