[Latro_]

Okie so reviving my orks now i'v more or less finished my deathguard army. Had this army for years and have never got round to getting it done.

Here is a looted wagon that i did ages ago. Will be touching it up, mold lines etc.

More to follow soon, over 140 models in this army... ugh.

[SirSnipes]

i LOVE it..........

[Tzeentch Loyalist]

Totally badass, I love the grots holding the guard at gunpoint. Very original

[alexh]

Fantastic, it tells a great story and is really nicely painted. Looking forward to the rest of your army now.

[eltanko]

Cheers for all the comments guys, here is a unit of 20 shoota boyz done.

I kinda have a quick camo system that i mix an match.
Lighter using desert yellow
Darker using bubonic brown
and straight brown to tone it done a bit.

Randomise these schemes on the models.

[havokas]

[Proiteus]

Thought i'd do a bit of a video mid unit painting. Can expect a few more as project goes on, will still do pics every time i complete a unit.

Pretty cool. I lovve the basilisk and the rest of the fellas look pretty well painted. I like the camo you went for ther.

[Kadris]

GAH! I am currently working on a looted tank from a tau devilfish body (hammerhead tank) with a tau pilot strung up with a harness like a horse with a grot pulling the reigns (oh and a nade strapped to the pilots head).

I hope my work come out as good as yours, its beautiful.

[Pherion]

THis looks great, specualy the guardsman held at gun point by the grot :-P What the guardsman doesnt realize is that even if the grot fired that close, he's still 90% likely to miss!

Camo scheme on the boys looks wonderfull, though I must say they are going to have dificulty blending into sand with all that green skin :-P

[sCar[Sandstorm]]

Wa Wa We wa! I likez da looted Bassylik, but i wud like to see sum close ups of dat warboss 'o yurs! :P

[Nocturn]

Hey :-),

Nice looking basi there, nice, fresh Idea with the hostages, especially the grot in the front and the officer :-)
One critism, though: Would you get rid of the enormous moldline on the basi's gun itself?
Or cover it with something, like a camo net, would improve the model even more :-)
Just thought I ask if you have seen it :-)

They're brilliant! The looted wagon is just inspired and beautifully done. I like what you're doing with the boyz' weapons too. Good luck with the rest!

Thought i'd post an update as the Orks have had a bit of love lately. Went to a 200pt Kill Team event at Warhammer World over the weekend, came joint 10th out of 100 or so. Would of easily been in the top 5 if not for a really luckly gave vs a daemons player who was also lets say... competitive.

Here is me team



mek with mega blasta (using as shokk attack gun in normal games i think) + Nid lootas!



da boyz with a specialist who was a weirdboy (managed to teleport him self across the table 3 games in a row!) which was good beacsue linebreaker was one of the missions!



da grots! best thing i took! killed all sorts of stuff. The one in the red bandana took out a deathmark then next game i paniced as my opponent got hemorage on biomancy, this basically means pass a S test (grots are 2) or die, then move on to the next etc until you pass... this could of wiped me out. The lucky grot rolls a 6 for deny the witch! hah then shoots the dude next turn rollin a 6 to wound! - best grot evvar.

Painting these up and the event really got me back into my green dudes.
