Ork Big Mek

In the most recent UK White Dwarf they had some pictures of the new models they are releasing for their new summer campaign.

One of these is a Ork Big Mek.

It will be nice to see some new Ork models.

I hope this is something we will see more of, I have disliked the way that GW release whole armies now and whilst doing so ignore the other armies.

I have often wondered about this strategy especially in terms of people adding to their armies. I also suppose that some people will always go out and buy the new big thing (whether they paint it is a different story).

I like what GW use to do back in the 1980s when they released new miniatures every month for a range of armies rather than concentrating on two big releases like they do now.

Also released this summer will be some new Ork Kommandos.

Orks advance through ruined buildings

Here is a photograph from a recent game in which my Orks attempted to attack a heavily defended ruined Imperial City.

Here they are advancing through a ruined building.

Here are my Ork Stormboyz about to use their jumpacks.

Orks with Heavy Weapons

I have been thinking about adding some more heavy weapons to my Ork squads which are useful when facing Imperial armour. These are the metal models, however I have replaced some of the metals parts with plastic ones to add variety and to add variety of some plastic conversions as well.

I have now undercoated the models with a white undercoat. This is the front…

…and this is the back…

As you can see I have used some parts from the Orc Warrior sprue.

They will be painted in a similar manner to my other Orks.

TankBustaz

Here are two of my Ork Tankbustaz

They are simple conversions, using the plastic Ork Boyz and then adding metal grenades from the Stormboyz metal extraz sprue.

They received a black undercoat followed by a drybrush of Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal before their skin was given a base coat of Snot Green.

Next stage is to highlight the skin with Goblin Green.
