Stormboyz

I have finished sticking my Ork Stormboyz together.

The models which come as a multi-part plastic and metal kit have also had components from the Orc Warriors Warhammer sprue used.

They have now being undercoated black. Their jump packs have been undercoated white and I am painting them separately (hence they are glued to a strip of thick plasticard as shown here before being undercoated).

I am intending to paint the jump packs in reds and yellows.

The jump packs in my mind would make excellent large rockets for Epic Armageddon, however at £2 each they are quite expensive, if you wanted a large number it would be cheaper to buy the Stormboyz boxed set!

Feral Ork Boar Boyz nearly finished…

As you can see my Feral Ork Boar Boyz are nearly finished.

Though I think I am going to need more than two…

Big Gunz

I do like these Big Gunz models.

They are very quick and easy to paint. I start off with black, then drybrush Tin Bitz, then a lighter drybrush with Boltgun Metal. Details are then picked out with yellow and red paint.

They recently took part in a game.

And they didn’t do too well… even with a 36″ range I was too often out of range. Also as an ordnance weapon I couldn’t fire at the Valkyrie which flew onto the table.

Stormboyz

This is a relatively new unit under construction.

These models rely heavily on the plastic Ork sprue and I am also using components from the Orc Warhammer sprue.

They still have a long way to go.

Ork Lootas with Heavy Bolter and Multi-Melta…

These are Orks who have looted Imperial weaponry. Not only can they use Space Marine weapons they can also take the transport option…

These are conversion using spare weapons from an Imperial Landspeeder.

One of the issues is that they are Heavy Support and with my Killa Kans, Big Gunz, Grot Bomb Launchas and Squiggoth, I don’t really have any spare Heavy Support slots, so I may use these models as Flash Gitz.

Feral Ork Boar Boyz – well the Boars are finished…

Here is a picture of my finished Boars.

…though as you can see the riders need a little more work!

Skorcha now undercoated…

Some parts have been undercoated black and others white depending on the final colour.

It’s looking quite good even now.

Skorcha – mean and well armoured…

The Ork Skorcha is basically a Wartrakk with a fuel trailer and a small turret with a skorcha weapon.

Having got one for a present I decided to up-armour the thing and add some armour skirts from plasticard.

The armour sides were cut from 2mm thickplasticard, then thin “plates” of plasticard was added before thin slices of plastic rod were added for bolts.

Additional bolts were then also added to the mudguards.

I added a shield icon from the Warhammer Orc boxed set and converted the driver with bitz from the Ork Boyz sprue.
