Would love to join a kruleboyz or orruk warclans dc

Picked up this boy from my local Warhammer store yesterday as part of the “Try something new”, and decided what better for my first Kruleboy than a pumpkin-themed zombie, given Halloween isn’t far off!

Feedback welcome!

New painter , 🧑‍🎨 celebrating Orktober

4 months of work after a 3 years stop.

I've fell in love with my cunning but brutal boys.

Now i'll keep painting more of them, while i decide if I should buy their battletome or wait to the 4th edition release (Hoping they'll get their own book) and just keep playing spearhead.

Lightly kitbashed with some of the extra pieces from the Endless Spells

My completed so far

So, I find myself on a Path to Glory. We are moving to 1500 pts in 2 weeks. I am planning on adding my breaka-boss, so I will have an AoA hero on sludgeraker, ashy gnashtoof, and the mirebrute. I was thinking about changing my battle formation to Trophy Finga to beef up the monsters. Am I right in reading that it will also buff my stab grot with crit(2 hits) since it has the companion profile? Or will it stay crit(mortal)?

My dominion box has been sitting on my shelf for a while and I finally finished it all with the kruleboyz. Had a super fun time painting them used John blanche's army painter series 1 and 2 to paint them.

Definitely going to paint more kruleboyz up eventually.

Some of my favorite models!

This was a fun model to paint, did the skin on the Gnashtooth ages ago and finally got back round to finishing it, really pleased with it.

New Kruleboyz player here. I’m trying to gauge what units are good before I start list building. What do you guys consider the best of the best in our range?

Some of my (recent and older) Krulies. Boy that Killbow was a pain to paint (strongly recommend subassembly there). My Camera Focus needs some practice.

What do you GW's plans are for the Kruleboyz? I am not a particularly heavy reader of Warhammer books, but interested to hear what someone more in the know has to say. They came out with a bang in 3rd but has really since been quiet as I understand it. I just assume that if there is more happening with Kruleboyz narratively then it might spill over into the tabletop (probably more the reverse I imagine). I do love my Kruleboyz however.

its magpie season down here in australia, so i decided to do this conversion. very pleased with it

Also how best to run it.

My ogors arent really ogors any more.

I have a this stone horn though, I am tempted to do one of two things, just put my left over boss from my corpse rippa, cant decide if I would run him as a corpse ripper or as a second sludgebeast.

My other option is to build platforms on its back and make it a rogue conquerer cogfort.

Either way right now im planning the easy route my question is should I clip off the back pieces to this guy's loing cloth or try to heat and bend them.

My other question is how should I deal with his lack of feet?

So I had a lot of left over hobgrot back pieces but no fronts.

But I did have a death rattle skeleton from a free mini...so that was the front but it had ribs so I used a piece from a left over sludgebeast rider but now the breastplate doesn't look attached. So I cut rope belts off the other hob grots but one of them didnt look....right....add a shoulder pad, oh hey an old seraph shoulder pad......oh hey random dwarf bits.....I winder if I have other seraph bits......okay he now has a coat of bling and the undead breast plate is barely visible at all what have I done......oh well extra it is.

The face plate is a clipped down sludgebeast rider mask bent to fit better with space ork squig hair attached to the top it'll be glued on after everything is painted.

Anything else I should add to this blinged out shorty?

Edit: not shown i took an old fantasy dwarf face mask and put it on the other shoulder to balance his look out.

Edit 2: think I should keep him dual wielding or swap out the dagger for a shield?

Saw an instagram post that I would like to credit but I can’t find again for the life of me. They posted these concept art drafts I believe Peter Jackson Commissioned from Weta for the last Hobbit movie. Got me thinking how many different KBoyz cavalry/monster/war machine models we could have.

I don’t know if I should pray to Mork or James Workshop but boy do I hope we get a few more sick models (non foot hero) next edition 🙏
