Ork Stormboyz Nob
One of my Ork units I do like are my Stormboyz (even despite Simon calling them the Lipstick Boyz) however they are leaderless, until now!
Games Workshop do produce a Stormboyz Nob, however it is only available by mail order and not from their shops. So when I was up in Nottingham I did get the Stormboyz Nob when I visited Warhammer World. It is a nice model and will certainly give my Stormboyz mob a bit more punch.
Now I just need to start painting him to match my Stormboyz mob.

Ork Kannon
One of the things I like in the Forge World range are the Ork Heavy Weapons, not just the new ones, but the older ones as well. I ordered an Ork Kannon some time ago and it had been hanging around for a while, so I decided to stick it together. It goes together really easily.
I then gave the model a black undercoat.
Once finished I will be able to use it any of my Ork vehicles or a Squiggoth
Ork Fighters
At GamesDay 2005 there was a Dambusters style game on, with the Imperial Guard defending and Orks attacking.
A closer look at one of the Ork fighters.
Not too keen on the painting on this model, almost pink!
Ork with ammo runt
Ork from the display cabinets at GamesDay 2008.
This is one of Seb Perbet’s pieces and I do like the ammo runt.
It really shows how much work and effort go into a miniature design.
Big Trakk with Big Lobba
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. There were many of the new Forge World models including the excellent Ork Big Trakk. A turbine powered Ork tracked vehicle with twin Big Shootas.
This heavy Ork transport can also be used to carry Big Gunz into battle. A brutal-looking machine, the Big Trakk comes with twin-linked big shootas, a massive gas-turbine engine, and ramming tusks.
I really like this model, which combined with Trukks and Halftrakks gives the Orks a variety of vehicles that you would expect to find in their forces. However the model is shown with the new Big Lobba. Now I don’t really like this weapon that much. Not sure what it does, but I know I don’t like it.
You can check out how I am making my own Big Trakk in my workbench feature.
Undercoating the Ork Trukk
My Ork Trukk was undercoated, in the main black but with some components in white.
This is how the undercoated model is looking.
See the workbench feature on this Ork Trukk.
Ork Shanty Town
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. They used various models to make the scenery.
A very nice piece of modelling.
Undercoating the Ork Sqwadron Commander
The Ork Sqwadron Commander is a really nice model (only available as a show model from Forge World).
Next stage for the model was a white undercoat, this is different to what I usually use with my Orks.

Snakebitez Ork Boar Boyz
This week Games Workshop announced the release of some new Orc Boar Boyz for Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
Orc Boar Boyz are rough, tough and very determined. They ride into battle atop War boars – evil-minded creatures that will take every opportunity to maim, bite and kick the enemy of their Orc masters. Boar Boyz are the shock cavalry of an Orc and Goblin army, and they love nothing better that to gore, stamp and inflict damage on the enemy.
These are very nice looking plastic miniatures.
I can’t be the only Warhammer 40,000 Ork player looking at these new models and thinking time to add some Boar Boyz for my Feral Orks.
I have done this before with some other Warhammer Fantasy Orc Boar Riders.
