Ork Killa Kan III

This is the third of my trio of Ork Killa Kans.

Originally I had planned to have a colour body, so the main body of the Killa Kan had a white undercoat as seen in the workbench feature.

Well as I started to paint it I knew that it wasn’t going to work and it wouldn’t look right. Maybe okay if it was a single Killa Kan, but in my squadron of three it was going to look odd. So I stopped painting the colour, let it dry and then went over the area with Chaos Black before drybrushing it.

This stage was to add some more detailing including painting the Ork glyphs.

I have blogged about the base previously.

Ork Stompa Photos

My local Games Workshop has the new Ork Stompa on display in their window and I managed to get a couple of photographs of it.

It is one BIG model, much bigger than the BaneBlade.

It certainly looks the part and (as with most models) looks a lot better in the flesh than in the photographs.

They were taking pre-orders so I bought some plastic gretchin!

On the counter, not finished or painted was the new Stormlord which did look very mean and nasty, well it would with twin linked 15 dice Vulcan Mega Bolter!

Urban Basing Kit

There are some gaming things I buy which I later think, why on earth did I buy that! Then there are gaming things I buy which I now wish I had bought at least five times rather than just the once!

One of those things is the Urban Basing Kit which was released as part of Cities of Death. The box set contains 2 pots of slate, 2 pots of resin details and 1 pot of razorwire that can be used to decorate the bases of your miniatures or cityfight buildings. It was a limited edition and though since then Games Workshop have released a Warhammer 40k Basing Kit, personally I don’t think it is as good as the original urban basing kit.
I would have bought five, but they were very difficult to get hold of, and when I did find them, the shop only had one left…

I have used the kit with various models, but for a workbench feature on my website I have been photographing a 60mm and a 40mm base. Having added some resin and slate, I added modelling sand to change and vary the texture of the base.

Ork Stormboyz

Tomorrow (17th January) sees the release of new plastic Ork Stormboyz.

Ork Stormboyz

Stormboyz, the shock troops of many successful warbands, dedicate their lives to the time honoured martial disciplines of drilling, marching and hurtling through the air. To this end they go to war strapped to rokkit packs that, when activated propel their wearers forward on great tongues of oily black flame.

I do like the new models which seem very Orky. Not sure if I am going to get any as I already have a mob of the old sort.

Ork Burna Boyz in the Ash Wastes

My Ork Burna Boyz advance through the Ash Wastes from a recent game.

They are traversing over one of the new plastic craters (unpainted).

The new Ork Codex changed the Burna Boyz rules quite a bit. One change I did find useful was the ability to have some Meks on board. And as Meks can try and fix broken Ork vehicles, my Ork Burna Boyz are now more like a team whose main job is to fix Ork vehicles on the battlefield.

In the past few games they have done a good job and fixed a couple of vehicles including my Gunwagon.
