Orktober 2019 WAAAAAGH!

@limburger I don’t need to join…. see here: https://www.warmonger.de/tag/orks/

I just don’t want to open a third painting front… I don’t have any space left

@sundancer excuses excuses :-p 😉

That’s more Ork than I got at the moment.  That is if only count the 40k Orks.

@limburger and I’ve got two core sets of WHFB 6th edition… most still on sprue…. I CAN’T HANDLE IT ALL!

[limburger 21764xp 1]

@sundancer I’ve got the entire Zombicide:Green Horde set to paint … (probably when hell freezes over)

And then there’s an Ork themed dungeon crawler I’ve backed whenever that one ships.

Maybe a massive can of Ork green and then dipping everything in a big bucket of quickshade ?

@evilstu yeah about that KS pledge for the Amazons…. ehhh I put forth a metric butt tone of cash by comparison to what I normally drop on minis. I’ll be getting a lot the size of the old WHFB and legitimize the purchase of my airbrush setup (aside from the waiting Legend of the 5 Rings Clan War starter box set I found at a local used book store). Uff.. November will be crunch time before minis in December.

@woldenspoons Hiding? Who’s hiding? Quick, kill the light and run for it boys!!!

By the by let me root through my stuff and I’ll send you some Stormboyz.

@sundancer My friemd, its that time of year again. You just need to embrace Orktober with a preliminary Oktoberfest. I won’t recommend Spaten as the drink of choice as I’m quite partial to Paulaner’s Salvator. Find a good kolsch or dunkel.. maybe just a random bock (or duppel bock…oh my) and pull out the greenskins.

I have plenty to paint as well. Legends of Signum: Battle for Vallor isn’t going to magically get painted overnight but I’ll nibble at it with time. Its a good plan to take on my assorted Malifaux figures, the Butchers/Alchemists teams for Guildball and my project boxes that I’ve been sitting on the backburner for a while. What’s another year on the shelf?

a few tweaks to do and my first Orky project is ready 🙂

Anyone got any ideas how to make Orks with rockets look a bit more *eh* jumpy ?

Foot-on-rock doesn’t exactly scream ‘WAAAGH!’

@sundancer twirling on flame pouring out of the rokkit packs. There is one of the Hellboy agents too who’s taking off with one.

[kiranamida 5791xp 0]

@limburger Lots of greenstuff as pillars of exhaust flowing out of the back? Or less between the base and foot as puffs of dust from take off?

[limburger 21764xp 0]

@kiranamida I haven’t practiced using greenstuff yet … so I think that would look like a blob of green excrement and less like a cloud of smoke 😉

this looks a bit too complicated for my skill set :

A bit of research and a lot of luck gave me this link :

@limburger Jumpy orks iz gud orks! I’ll recommend the cinematic effects from Armorcast as an option beyond greenstuff.

Look at the Mennes video on rocket exhaust as well that came out a while ago.

Considering that nothing much came from last year’s Orktober least from GW’s part I am cautious about this.

[mageParticipant 20596xp 0]

Cautious about what

[limburger 21764xp 0]

@horati0nosebl0wer looks like they’re not shipping to my location. I suspect cost of shipping a few 4$ items would be a bit much.

Orktober ain’t done yet and I’ve still got stuff to do before I get to those boyz. 🙂

@mecha82 AFAIK there was no official GW Orktober advertisement this time. However with it being spacemarine week every week I’d say we claim a month for Gork and one Mork.

Orktober…. I’m in!

Got a Bonesplitter Warband for WarCry to paint up WAAAAGH!

[limburger 21764xp 0]

@teddymademedoit what units are in your bonesplitter warband ?
And do you know what would be needed for Iron Jawz ?

I’ve got the ‘start collecting iron jawz’ because I *eh* needed parts for my 40k army (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it ;-)), but if there’s anything I can use to create a warband for warcry then I can maximize its use.

WAAAGH!!!
Green iz gud! MOAR GREEN IZ BETTAH!
