BoarBoyz

I have already got two painted BoarBoyz and I have started to model and paint another. I had already painted the boar and was intending to use the metal Warhammer Orc which I had bought, but in the end used the same plastic Orc legs from the Orc Warriors Command Sprue as the metal Warhammer Orc Boar rider was “too different” and in my mind would have looked out of place.

I wanted to give this rider a spear so decided to have the Shoota carried on the Ork’s back. Using green stuff I modelled a strap for the gun.

I am not that good with green stuff, but for a gaming model (this is no Golden Demon entry) it works for me.

Where’s the spear, well I haven’t stuck it on yet!

Defending the Administratum…

Had an excellent game of Warhammer 40k this weekend (well I won as well).

My Orks were tasked with defending an Imperial Administratum with just Boyz (infantry) and small-arms as well as a few heavy weapons.

There was one Nob in Mega-Armour, but for the game was considered to be not wearing it (or it wasn’t working, made out of mdf or cardboard or similar).

Coming in waves were hundreds and hundreds of Imperial Guard (okay fifty).

In the end the Imperial Guard were wiped out to a man, very Russian in their approach of waves of infantry across the square.

The scenery is Forgeworld, from Simon’s collection and has been excellently painted by him.

Ork Wartrakk Conversion

Though I might use it with my Grot Bomb Launcha…

Following the concept picture I posted earlier, I have now in fact built the Wartrakk tracks.

They are Imperial Tank tracks which I was originally using (many moons ago) for a Gorkamorka project which, well, just work. Therefore rather than using new sprues these have been broken apart which I think makes them a little more Orky.

I added some plastic strip on the back.

This is so there is something to stick to the hull of the Wartrakk.

This is how it looks with the motorbike on the front.

I might use this as a Wartrakk or for a Grot Bomb Launcha.
