A tiny selection of Bad Moon Orks.

P1030461

What I’ve been painting since July!

Orks, orks, so many orks!

I finally have the bulk of the footsloggers painted, but I still have Lootas, Tankbustas, around 30 more Boyz, around 40-50 Gretchin, a handful of snotlings (or whatever they’re called anymore) and some old-school Nobz in power armor.

None of that, of course, takes into account the vehicles…

But hey, at least the Kommandos are done!

…and then there are these guys, my only two Burna Boyz, which have been press-ganged into the Kommando force:

“We has been impressed inta da service.”

The bulk of all of my painting has been taken up with Da Boyz. Now, I already had 30 of these suckers painted (which were pretty much the only Orks that I evenĀ had painted) But now I at least have them all based! These are some of the oldest 40k miniatures (not including the Nob) that I own, dating back to the old Rogue Trader days.

 

In addition to the old RT Orks, I also have a handful of old 2nd edition (The best edition!) Orks that I painted up with a bunch of Slugga Boyz:

Goff Boy, Evil Sun Boy, and two Snakebites. Looks like they’re Bad Moons now…

Plus a couple of scratch-built Big Shootas, one of which is an old 2nd edition metal Goff Boy:

“Dis is state of da art tecknolergy.”

 

Finally, the last of the painted Shoota Boyz:

 

Next time will be the Ork Nobz!

Bikes! Death Company! Something Else!

P1030416

The Meltagun is in focus. That’s the important part.

The bikes are done!

Interestingly enough, these are the fist Space Marine bikers I’ve ever painted! And I’ve been playing this game since about 1994!

So yeah, they turned out decently enough, I suppose.

Except for the crappy spray sealant, which made the paint job look…misty… I guess.

 

But even better, I finished the DEATH COMPANY miniatures! The last five out of fifteen! Now I’m really ready for 8th edition!

P1030413

No more striking last in combat, bitch!

 

With the Death Company done, now it’s time to take a little break from Blood Angels, as I now finally have enough painted for a proper 2000 point game.

 

What then, am I going to paint?

Including Blood Angels, I have a total of eight armies for 40k: Crimson Fist Marines, Chaos Marines, Eldar, Tyranids, Necrons, Imperial Guard, and Orks.

The Crimson Fists, Chaos Marines, and Eldar are all pretty much done (Okay, the Biel Tan Eldar are only about halfway there) so out of the rest, I think the most likely choice is Orks.

Let’s get this WAAAAGH started!

 

P1030421

Scratch-built Dred! It’s dead ‘ard!

 

My Orks have been neglected for a longĀ time. I have Space Orks that date all the way back to the Rogue Trader era that I picked up to add to games of Space Hulk, probably around 1990 or so.

 

P1030420

GorkaMorka-era Wartrakks! Finally ready to fight!

 

I’ve got Ork crap from every edition to date, but I don’t think I’ve fielded an army since 3rd edition, or maybe 4th.

All that changes as of now!

The Blood Angels are official on hold, ’cause here come da Orks!

 

P1030422

Rogue Trader dreadnaught! Now it’s a Killer Kan! (gonna need a repaint, though)

Even better, we should soon have a new battle report! Exciting times!
