Orks of Hordey Destructive type...behaviour

[Lemmingspawn]

Here\'s the progress on Da Klaw of Gork. Finished enough be the beast:

Enjoy!

 

[MPJ]

Looks great but I woulda stuck with \'Big Diggy Stabby Fing\' for the name. :drunk:

 

[Lemmingspawn]

Here\'s the beginning of paint on the stompa:

 

[Manus]

hope you paint the stumpa in the same way as the other, looks really good with all that weathering

 

[Lemmingspawn]

ROIGHT! Stompa is done, I\'ve had enough of it and it can stay as it is. I reckon it\'s come out well. It\'ll go on the auction block soon enough as well... Funny these days how I go through all that work and then just feel like selling it afterwards... Weird. It\'s not like that\'s the reason I start it!

Anyway, enough blather, here\'s the pics:

DON\'T SELL IT!!!!!!

this is amazing!!

 

[Lemmingspawn]

Well, I haven\'t been doing nothing, I\'ve been pretty busy so I\'ve got some pics and links anyway. Here are some links to the CMoN sites for Da Klaw and for the Squighound Stompa:

And some Wardiggas I did as a commission... couldn\'t resist showing you some pics:

 

[Lemmingspawn]

Well I\'ve been doing a little here and there - had a tournament with the Iron Warriors on the weekend and that kept me busy for the past few weeks making sure that everything was set for us to go to it.

Anyways, heres a couple of little bits and pieces that I have done in the meantime, just some meddling with stuff and things while I get everything else done. Army painting will be starting soon as well, hopefully next week.

Pics for your enjoyment:

The short wheelbase trukk (to be used as a warbuggy with TL Rokkit Launchas). If I get another to convert like this I\'ll build a gun platform on the back instead of mounting it where I have on this one.

The real benefit I\'ve had here is that since I have two trukks, I can swap the wheels around, so I could balance them out a bit. Of course orks don\'t care for such hoo har but I did it anyways.

And Da Klaw of Gork and the Squighound Pattern Stompa are up on the auction block so if any of you keen punters wanna try getting them, you know where they are

 

[Recoil889]

I like it, but it makes me wonder how the driver and the passanger enjoy getting the rocket back blast in their faces????
Maybe you could mount the rockets on a small trailer...similar to this

For fun, you could make it 2 wheeled or w/e suits you. Part of me just says, Im sure orks like alot of things, but rocket back blast just isnt one...

On a side note, how did the iron warriors do in the tourney? Ive got an Iron Hands army ive been working on for a while now, not had a chance to play them yet im curious to see how your guys did

 

[Lemmingspawn]

The guys did alright - didn\'t place mostly due to my lack of tactical acumen. I started well against most opponents, I just made a few errors that cost me points.

The only army that really nailed me was a Mech Tau army - they just handed it to me because I was just too slow in comparison. And I didn\'t get to face any of the Eldars which if they were set up similarly would\'ve done about the same I think. Fast movers are tough.

 

[Lemmingspawn]

I\'m thinking of moving the missile rack to the top and the targetter boy leave him where he is \"Wiv a big button\".

Well - not really an update just a moment of insanity realised so I thought I would share it with everyone ... if you\'re interested ... otherwise - here is some mindless drivel from one driven insane by the sheer weight of a task taken on by myself...too many elipsesisesisi.......

Just did a count of the ork army to date and boy oh boy oh boy have I ever bitten a big chunk off!!!

Here\'s the list of what I have yet to paint:

35 Boyz in progress
101 Boyz (all a mix of \'ard boyz, shoota boyz and slugga boyz. No nobs)
9 Big shoota boyz
12 Lootas
4 Mekboys
5 Bombsquigs
7 Dethkoptas (which will increase with the release of the new box set mind you! And hopefully I\'ll have a bit batch painted up before then)
19 Tankbustas with their nob
25 Burna boyz
4 Commandos
1 Shokk attack gun
2 Nobs
1 Painboy and orderly
1 Weirdboy without handlers (thank GOD)
19 Bikes, half and half new and converted old
3 Warbuggies with TL Rokkits
3 Wartrakks with TL Big Shootas
1 Wartrakk with mega blasta
1 Trukk
2 Huge Zeppelin battlewagons

What I HAVE painted

14 Stormboyz and nob
5 Trukks
1 Battlewagon (regular groundhogger)
1 Mounted Warboss
3 Mega armoured nobs
1 Ghazkull
3 Killa kans
7 Nobs
1 Squig toting warboss who will probably be a nob

And the soon to be sold

1 Stompa and 1 Klaw (which btw is 1000pts worth give or take on their own!)

And what I plan to build in the future:

1 bike toting special character guy who has the crazy rules but I can\'t remember his name now
1 Steam stompa REDUX
1 SMALL klaw of gork as a dread because the old one was WAY too big for what I actually wanted it to be originally

Which comes to a total of:

246 on foot troops
46 Vehicles and walkers
2 War machines

In my army at the moment!

And I have 20 unbuilt, uncut, unprepared boyz sitting in a box. That I will not build. No no no no no. I will not build them. They are parts for other things...

That\'s roughly 4500 - 5000 pts in models.

Woah.

Let\'s see if I can get them painted........

 

[nick232]

i like that word, ground hoggerlollol

 

[Lemmingspawn]

Hey guys, just a quick peek at where I\'m up to with the boyz I\'m painting at the moment. On this table there are 99 orks with various weapons (mostly sluggas, choppas and shootas) in 3 stages of being SPEED PAINTED! Yep I\'m doing them in roughly 30-35 lots, blocking in the main areas of paint and then dipping them in my SPECIAL wash mix. Here\'s a few pics:

That\'s it for today. This lot has taken me 7 days so far to get to this point (about 6hrs a day). Enjoy!

 

[Cleezy]

Updates on the progress. 145 models now officially speed painted in a period of about 3 1/2 weeks. Not very many foot soldiers left to paint, maybe 50-60.

Here are some pics:

The horde that\'s been painted:

And a couple of highlights:

 

[Lemmingspawn]

Because everyones been asking so nicely.....here\'s some older models I painted ages ago before I got sick of painting them last time, all the Bosses and the Nobs.

These were painted using a more traditional method, not the cheaty dippy washy style but were earlier forays into the \"juice\" method. I call my \"Sloppy juice\" method .

 

[Kaine]

Scary amount of orcs.

I saw the new Black Reach orcs today when in my local GW, the quality is stunning on some of them, you\'ll probably want to include some of those as well for variety.

The copters rock

 

[Lemmingspawn]

Okay! Here\'s the lootas painted up with a mek a burnaboy and a big shoota boy just because. I\'ve done up an article on Coolminiornot that I\'ll provide a link to later on how I have done the dipping for all those interested in that method, but for now you\'ll have to settle for pics!

And here\'s a few closeups of one model to give you an idea of what they look like up close and personal:

Enjoy!
