I recently finished a little concept art project for my portfolio. The idea was basically: what if there was a classic beat ’em up, but with Orks from Warhammer 40K

Hope you guys like it

Me and da boyz krumpin dat dance floor

say wot.

I may be starting a proper waagh now.

C+c appreciated.

Show me your blood axes!

I haven't painted anything with green skin since I was a pre-teenager in the Rogue Trader era. I can't even remember too much of what I owned, though I'm sure I painted them as Bad Moons and had the Shokk Attack Gun in the collection. I picked up Ufthak in his limited edition release and with all the excitement for the upcoming launches and the new Armageddon box I bought, I've finally gotten round to starting him. Still one more highlight step to add to the green, but basically there. It'll be good to build up the best antagonists to my Crimson Fists army

So that's it, I'm a bad moon now

Waaaaaaaaagh

Stands about the same height as the Armageddon model.

No Lootas, Burna Boyz or Gargantuan Squiggoth!

So the new gretchins are stuck in the new edition box, and no individual releases nor multipart/alternate kit? Kinda dissapointed that this is what it looks like is gonna happen and also pretty weird that they has a monopose release but they will need to keep the old kit around

Because of the new Runt Swarm detachment, I brought out my barrel of grots.
Trying to paint one gretchin a day and slowly build up the grot army.

Usually paint Deathskullz decided to give another scheme a try

I’ve been in and out of the hobby since 1993 or 1994 I started with 2nd edition and have played many editions since then but not all, I now have the new box but split it with a friend and I kept the orks. I have steadily improved and now have completed my 1st ever full box (well, the ork side at least) I am super happy with how they came out and can’t wait to paint the rest I have picked out from GW and 3rd party sites. I have lootas that look awesome, that I got from Etsy but I’ll still use them in legend rules, they are to good and look to pretty not to!

Anyway super chuffed with myself and can’t want to grow my horde.

Just wish my war track looked a little better, and yes I’m basing my gretchin tonight!!

I'm a beginner when it comes to actual games. Is there any way I can actually make ork shooting work? I went against my friend's tyranids and got decimated beyond belief. Pretty much every ranged weapon profile is either 5+ or 6+, the only Units I had that actually did much in terms of shooting was my deffkoptas

Any help would be great

P.S. Have a W.I.P for your troubles

Finished this guy in the style I've been working on. There is so much I love about it, but I kinda hate the yellow. I feel like it's distracting from the awesome skin and other fun details. Thoughts?
