This picture is from a recent game.
My Orks had just shot down the Valkyrie (a lucky shot from a twin-linked Big Shoota) and the Stormtroopers were lucky to get out alive!
The crashed Valkyrie then provided cover for both sides.

Shoota Boyz
I have been adding to my Ork Boyz.
Using the same technique as outlined on my website.
It is relatively quick and quite a few boyz can be painted in a short time.
Feral Ork Standard Bearer
This is the progress I have made with my Ork Standard Bearer.
As with most of my Feral Orks he uses components from the WHFB Orc sprue.
As for the eventual banner design it has to be this…
Skorcha
As you can see from the photo:
I have painted various components of the Skorcha and some of the driver.
The main body will be a brown/orange colour with the metal parts in a dirty rusty metal colour.
I have also virtually finished the Grot who sits on the trailer.
Feral Ork
Here is one of my Feral Orks.
As you can see it is about halfway through its paintjob.
Feral Ork Conversions
Here are a couple of Feral Orks, using fantasy and WH40K sprues.
They use components from the Ork Boyz sprue and the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Orc sprue.
This gives them a low-tech look.
Tankbustas
I already have the metal models and they are painted and finished.
Using components from the Stormboyz metal bitz I am converting some plastic Ork models into Tankbustas.
The middle model has an Orc Warrior shield arm, which I have drilled a hole through the fist. I then cut one of the Stormboyz grenades in half before putting the two halves through the hole and sticking them with superglue.
I start off with a black undercoat and then do all the metallic bitz with a drybrush of tin bitz and chainmail.
This unit will also have an Ork with a converted Rokkit Launcha.
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.
