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.
The model then looks like this once put together.
I think it needs to have the tracks lowered to raise the armoured part higher.
As with my Grot Bomb Launcha I decided to undercoat different bits white and some bits black.
Grotz, based prior to undercoating…
I normally flock my bases prior to undercoating and paint and drybrush them.
In this instance I am using GW sand which is nice and fine and has little “rocks” in it as well.
Grotz
Here are two Grotz.
They are based and I have used Green Stuff (some that is rather old) to fill in the gaps.
Deth Kopta, nearly finished to gaming standard…
This is quite a simple model to paint.
Starts off with a black undercoat, drybrush of Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
The rotor blades are painted with Bleached Bone and will be getting a highlight of Skull White.
At this point I am happy for it to be used in a game.
Final details will be adding some copper and bronze to various components, painting the dials and seat, as well as giving the machine some glyphs and details on the tail.
I really like this model, I now have a squadron of three and may get some more in the future, maybe to convert into a heavy version.
