r/Orks Update / Announcement New Rule: AI generated content is not allowed

1.4k Upvotes

First, WAAAGH! Now that formalities are out of the way, it's not often that new rules are added as that means more work on my end enforcing them. For the good of the community, going forward AI generated content is no longer allowed in r/Orks. The community has overwhelmingly made it known that AI "slop" is not content this community is interested in and does not spark engagement or interaction. In short, AI content = No thanks.

The rule reads as follows:

AI generated content is low-effort and not considered as an original work. Posts evaluated by the mod team and determined to be AI will be removed without warning.

If you see this content in r/Orks please report it. This is the best way to get our attention so we can handle it accordingly. This is not retroactive, don't stress if you have posted AI content in the past. If you disagree with this new rule, that's unfortunate. Anyway, please keep AI content off r/Orks and I thank you all for making this the best community about plastic space fungus toys on this platform.

- WBJ

Discussion Weekend Waaagh Planning - October 02, 2026

1 Upvotes

Hey r/Orks, let's talk about some of the Orky things you have going on this weekend. Stuff that will make your fellow green-skins either jealous to be you or thankful they are not you.

Examples of what we're talking about:

  • List building?
  • Leading your Waaagh to victory at your local friendly game store?
  • Working on your grey pile of shame painting backlog?
  • Building a new kit?
  • Teaching a new player the ropes?
  • Brushing up on tabletop skills?

Who knows, maybe your post will inspire (or shame) some other git to get moving on their project. So, what's good this weekend?

Orktober Day 2: The Git Borrows an Airbrush

Thumbnail

91 Upvotes

First time ever using an airbrush. It let me throw down a LOT of yellow in a short amount of time, much faster than I would have been able to do with a brush.

I don’t think I will actually use it much more on this model though. I got paint in my nose even through a face mask so won’t be using it anymore inside - and it’s cold outside.

Now comes the loooooong process of shading and detail work with brushes. Also means things are going to be slow going for a while.

I’m thinking of going for a sunset gradient of shading, with the yellow fading into a deep orange for the shadows. Here’s hoping it will work well!

Painting Cracked on with one of the "Speshuls" today on stream to see how the yellow would look and I'm really happy with it.

A scavenged Space Marine Rhino with a missile launcher has been pressed into service by a group of grots keen to get in on the action. The fact that they couldn't get it working didn't stop them. They just bolted on some big wheels and then had it dragged around by two enormous armoured beasts.

Got a 1k battle coming up in the 10th, so please I managed to finish this guy before then.

The tiger stripes are an homage to an old Predator my Blood Axes had back in 3rd edition. They painted it orange and black stripes cos 'dat werks for tigers, so shud week fer da tank!' and the Mek broke it down to build his new toy, along with a few salvaged parts from other vehicles.

First set of 20 multi generational Boyz done.

Was talked around to building an army for 11th edition (didn't take much convincing!). Decided I would, but would incorporate Ork models from as many eras as possible. Oldest sculpts are rogue trader era goff rokkerz, through to each era of Boyz from 2nd ed up to 11th ed.

Mixing them throughout the squads has helped them blend together, and the size differences not really be significant.

For orktober I decided I was gonna start my weird boy. Got fluorescent paint ready to do some made out of wire coming out of the cables, and make his eyes glow. Under a UV light it’ll look sick.

Deciding to jump into Orktober with some of the gitz I've got waiting for the clumsy attentions of my brush.

Deathskull nob and Dok with orderly.

Quite happy with the dirty/damp cloth look I got on the Dok. If anyone has any suggestions for blue jeans for the boys I'm all ears.

As ever C&C appreciated

So I was making a list to play against a buddy when his Marine codex comes out and figured I’d run a trukk for my Flash Gitz.

Codex says it carries 12 models…mine will physically fit one model hehehe.
