I have been building and painting miniatures for 20 plus years now. Although I have painted works and goblins for friends that collect them in that time, I have never had a collection of greenskins myself.

Other armies were always more interesting or felt more nuanced, especially in terms of deep background lore.

Recently though, I've had a bit of a change of heart. Over the past year I've converted multiple kruleboyz models into warriors of nurgle. Throughout those conversions, I have gained a deep respect for the level of detail that the newer orcs have and the potential to mix and match different color tones. Mainly because orcs are of course green skinned, but that green skin can take a variety of hues. Coupled with the fact that they are mainly a force that relies on ramshackle equipment, which means that cloth and points of secondary color usage can be different shades of the overall color chosen while still looking somewhat cohesive.

I have decided to start painting orcs and have added a collection to my roster. I don't have any background yet, so I'm just calling this The Waaagh, for now.

I will however be using and referencing the ubiquitous ork color guide. Meaning the various uses and meanings ascribed to certain colors by orcs and goblins in the Warhammer universes.

My first work for this project is this Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof, and he is a lucky git.

Comments and critique are most welcome, and I hope to bring you more content soon.









Also, I am soliciting for name suggestions for the characters and their mounts if applicable. Feel free to put them in this thread.

I've been building the remnants of a dominion set. it was partial to begin with, so I don't know if i'll get a full squad of 10 gutrippas out of it. Good news is that my 32mm bases order has arrived, so i can base them for painting now.

2 more orc-ogres are on the painting table, along with a murknob with belcha banna.

Another murknob has been converted into a killaboss, by using an extra gutrippa arm and a greataxe from the orruk brutes set.

I've got to greenstuff around the pinned joint of the axe head though, so he still needs a bit more time before painting.

I've uncovered another killaboss on great gnashtoof on sprue, and am undecided on how to convert him. any thoughts?

I'm also going to be making some orc-ogre conversions with dual hand weapons. I'm trying to use up the orc bits i have left before buying anything else.

I've got a swampcalla in parts on my desk as well. The pot-grot looks like it will be fun to paint. I found an extra pot-grot in parts, so may use him for something else. Not sure what though.

Other than building the infantry hordes, what should I add?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/811762/11598128.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/811762/11598128.page GMT Re:The Waaagh Blog (AoS/fantasy greenskins)
