Ok, so having popped into a GW store to buy a Valkerye after being out of the hobby for a few years... I decided to start an Ork army, go figure.
Really it was the fault of seeing what other new stuff was around and noticing that the Orks now have a whole bunch of great models and since i've always had a real; soft spot for teh Greenskins, i thought i'd collect an army.
I'm starting off based on stuff I like rather than a specific army list but i like to make sure everything is legal, then once i've done some stuff i'll start jigging it into an army list.
So to start with I grabbed the following [did it all at once so i have a whole selection of bits.
Warboss
2 x Nobz box [plus have a few metal ones kicking arond from years back]
3 x Loota box [with excess boys can do 12 burnas and at least that many lootas]
2 x Ork battleforce [bikes will largely get turned into nobz bikers though may also have a large regular warbike mob, not fully decided yet, def gonna get the FW Warboss but still debating the Nobz]
Black Orks [for turning into Ard boy shootas... only way i'm going to get to paint these guys and i really like the models.]
Battlewagon [bought 1, likely to get another couple.]
I luike to reward mysel;f by getting to paint something cool for paining a unit, so starting off with build 12 slugga boyz and their trukk
Next up started converting some Black Orks into Ard Boyz wiv shootas
And finally some conversion on the warboss, using a nob banner pole for the attack squig and the powerklaw from the BR warboss [got for a few quid off ebay but felt the plastic boss was a little 'flat' looking.
Hope y'all like. Gonna get cracking with the painting. Will run a few models for a colour test. Likely they'll kinda be deathskulls as i want a similar colour scheme to my BloodBowl team. [I really like bad moons but yellow is a tough colour to do on a lot of models.] Pics when the tests are in.
