Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Orktober/Orctober thread!
This is a non-official community thread. A few of us forum members had a chat about doing this and decided to go ahead with it.
This is a thread themed around Orks/Orcs from any game or genre. It is nspired by Games Workshop using the term for the month of October for releasing the new Ork Codex and Speed Freeks board game. We are in no way associated with Games Workshop unless you mean putting together models for fun.
This is open but not limited to Orks, Orcs, Orrucs, Goblins, Grotz, Hobgblins, Uruks, Urk Hai, Half Orcs, Greenskins, Bayourk, Gremlin, Squigs and anything suitably Orcy or associated with Orcs/Orks. It can be terrain, vehicles, or anything your imagination can create. Trolls, Giants and Wolf Riding cavalry are allowed since they have been associated with them in various different games. Taking anything from the same army an Orc is in, however, is kinda of against the spirit of it if it is too different (such as a Ringwraith from a Mordor Orc army from Lord of the Rings – they arent Orky or Orcy enough).
To get things rolling here is some of my own recent work:
Ok everyone, hope to see you all soon and of course have fun!
And of course…
Waaaaagh!
Ok, Orktober pledge will be as follows:
1. Put together a kitbashed unit of Ork Kommandos.
2. Put together an Ork squad for Kill team
Stretch targeting goals (if time permits) will be as follows:
3. Inspired by @oriskany and his Long Range Desert Group project for the Bolt Action Desert War boot camp I will put together an Ork ‘Long Range Dakka Group’
4. Some Reaper Bones orcs for random wandering dungeon monsters.
And if I’m feeling really enthusiastic, turn the below into some sort of (in)coherent fighting force…
Unleashing the Waaagh! ? Well you would need a giant drum to unleash it even more i would say!
So my pledge is working on that project a lot more of cause!
And since i fetched my Warchanter today i got another idea of how i could hold that drum up …. enter the easy to build Ironskull’s Boyz into the mix. Three of them would look great as carriers for the drum:
For one of them i had to rearange his hand and weapon a bit and i still need to repair some damage there, but that is a little teaser of how it could look once i’m finished.
well that is just a small project comapred to what you all have waiting for you … so it seems the drum is only able to unleash a small waaagh 😉
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagghhhhh!!!
Its time to unleash the Boyz! My pledge for this project will start with the Dungeon Saga orcs and gobbo’s.
It’ll be primarily Army Painter method for them. Once I get through that lot, I’ll start on this mob:
If get through these guys, or need to change it up, I’ve got some 40k Orks and Grots on hand as well! I am kinda keen to put together a Kill Team even though I don’t play the game right now…
@mage Deffskullz are da bestest orkz! Looking forward to see what you’ll do with them.
@evilstu that looks like it’ll be a proper Waagh! Gork shall be pleased!
@querion that drum is awesome! I saw the progress in the WAYPN thread, you’re some kinda orky brain-boy!
I’m going to give this go . No idea which of the 3 options I’m going to build , Blitza – Bommer , Burna – Boomer or Dakkajet but it should be a nice change from Panzer grey and US OD greens
