Having undercoated the Ork Bommerz with white paint, the next stage is to paint the metal bitz with black paint.

Grot Cutta
I have drybrushed by Grtot Cutta, first with a heavy drubrush of Tin Bitz, followed by a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
I will then be painting the mast and boom a dark brown.
As you will notice this model is “different” to the standard Grot Cutta in that the rear wheels are the Heavy Gunz style wheels rather than the tyres which came with the model.
I have noted that this model sells quite well on eBay, as do the other models from the Gorkamorka range. I would still like to try and get a Grot Lugga as I quite like that model.
Orks with Twin Big Shootas
Forgeworld weapon systems…
I have started putting together my Orks with Forgeworld Twin Big Shootas.
They are very nice resin pieces.
Though they are designed as weapon systems for Forgeworld vehicles, it would be nice if they also allowed you to use them as standalone heavy weapons by including a ground mount.
I may scratchbuild some ground mounts allowing my Orks to have additional heavy weapons on the ground rather than just attached to the vehicles.
What do you mean it is not in the Codex…. it doesn’t matter.
Epic Bommerz Undercoated
I have undercoated my Forgeworld Ork Bommerz.
They are in white as I intend to use an orange colour which is not good at covering black.
Grot Cutta
I originally bought this model for my Flintloque army.
It is a Gorkamorka Grot Cutta.
I am intending to use it with my Warhammer 40K Ork army as an alternative buggy.
The model originally came with two rear rubber tires, I decided (as it was a fantasy napoleonic army) to use the WH40K metal wheels. I have kept them as I think it looks better that way.
Epic Ork Bommerz
Finished putting them together…
I have eventually put my Forgeworld Epic Ork Bommerz together.
They were slightly fiddly to put together, but the pieces did fit well there was very little flash or cleaning needed.
I will be giving them a white undercoat and painting them in an orange colour.
Desert Theme
I have also decided that I will go with a desert theme with them, and that I will be basing all the units including vehicles…. we’ll have to see how that goes!!!
My Ork Airfield Defence Force will also be in a desert theme so that I can inter-mix units.
Undercoated Epic Squiggoth
I have undercoated my Epic Squiggoth all in black, which is unlike my 40K scale model in which the creature was undercoated white and the howdah in black.
Forge World Squiggoth
Another view.
Forge World Squiggoth
Though I have had the model for some time, I wanted to surprise my opponent so I have not put any details out about it.
It is a superb casting and well sculptured and in my opinion a much nicer model than the bigger version (can’t spell Gargantuan).
Today I had a chance to use it in a game and yes my opponent was surprised.
You can find out how I painted it here. Here is a picture of work in progress.
There is still some work to do on it, but it is virtually finished.
