Ork Gubbins

Hi!

I following seeing some reports using Rogue Trader for the Battle for the Farm, I decided to rummage out my old Ork figures and have a bash at painting them up and heres the completed test piece:

I'm quite pleased with the results as he was stripped of an old paint job and the skintone turned out nicely too, especially as greenskins are the one tone I usually really struggle with!

Hopefully he will be getting some chums soon as I have a fair number of the old plastics and even some metal figures kicking around!

All the best!

I've still got a load of those old plastic Space Orks - nice job!

Just wishing I never sold off my old Battlewagon even if it was in bits, missing pieces and still fetched a pretty high price!

Dammit... now i have to go and dig out my Space Orks and paint them. Grr and i wish i had the RT Battlewagon one of my all time fav sculpts.

More Orks please!

Edit:

Just noticed you painted normal eyes rather then red slits, i think it works very well :)

Very nice! :) Those plastic Orks are not the best sculpts in the world, imo, but there's a certain charm to them.

Very cool, I never had a good look at those plastic boyz but this one looks great, especially the face and mouth!
 
Hi!

Thanks for the comments folks!

Heres another of the plastic Orks:

I must admit he's not the scariest looking Goff but it does kind of fit in with the Paul Bonner illustrations from the time!

All the best!
 
Nice clean painting.

I was never too keen on these plastics back in the day but a year or two back I decided I had to get all the Ork supplements (Waaaagh, Freebooters and the other one... my memory fails me) and ended up grabbing some old plastics as well.

The other one was Ere we go.. great set of books..

Loving the point scheme for these you are making the sculpts look much better than they actually are :shock:
I have a mob of these lurking about that were going to end up evil sunz although some may end up goffs now I have seen these.
Looking forward to updates

Nice painting on your 2nd one, how about painting up some Madboyz next? As they were some of the best sculpts imo

I love the Weirdboyz with Minderz models the most. :) You know the ones that have three models cast together that you added plastic arms to?

Aye i loved the 2 Minders aiming the Weridboy one, may still have it somewhere buried in many layers of paint.
 
Hi!

Sadly I've not got any madboyz! Looking through my collection its looking like its a mix of Goffs and some Snakebites with one or two renegades too. I am hoping to add to the collection at some point but am determined to finish what I've got first before buying any more!

That means I still have about 15 or 20 more boyz to paint before I allow myself the fun of getting more! Saying that I am badly in need of some Nobz and specialists so may peruse ebay and traders to see if I can locate some more!

I am going to sculpt myself a dreadnaught though which should be fun!

All the best!
 
Hi!

I've just finished the Nob for my Goff unit!

I did a little conversion work on him to bulk out his arms a little but am quite pleased with how he turned out!

Heres a quick group shot:

Huzzah! Four down and only about thirty or so still to paint!

Next up heres a quick shot with the Nob with some 15mm scale Carnosaurs I sculpted a while back:

I am going to paint up some more but still need to pick up either a Runtherd or some sort of Gretchen to herd them into battle...

All the best!
 
Ooh er!

Thanks for the comments folks!

Heres another Ork boy, cunningly named Ork No5:

Which finally gives me a full squad of five!

Depending on which edition or indeed armylist you look at thats either a full squad (Book of the Astronomicon) or a drop in the ocean (pretty much any other version!)

Hopefully it wont take me quite so long to get some more done!

All the best!
 
Hi!

I just rummaged this little fellow out of a box too:

He's a scratch built 15mm scale Ork warboss I completed just before moving house and it took me till now to find him!

All the best!
