More Orks...

I'm continuing to work on the Ork boyz.

Finished 15 burna boys:

I also got the second batch of Tank Bustas done:

If your not familiar with these models they are from Kromlech.  They are amazing models.  I've got another batch of Tank Busta which will give me 30 total.

After them I will start on the FW Nob Bikers.

I'm also working on an Ork Village with kits from Kronlech as well.  I'll post some shots of it soon.

Blood Axe Orks using Kromlech figures

 Kromlech easily has some of the best alternative orks on the market.  I've been steadily building up my collection of them to form a Blood Axe army.  Primarily built around the great coat orcs and tank bustas.  I recently picked up this 'command squad' which includes the Warboss, Waaagh Banner, Big Mek and Weird boy.  The figures are absolutely amazing, especially the warboss and waaagh banner.

Another Day Another Doug: I painted some Kromlech Juggernauts

    I picked up some Kromlech Juggernauts recently to add to my existing host.  They are fantastic models and dwarf the GW mega nobs.  Their ramshackle construction looks great and are really fun to paint.

Warboss:

 

Bigmek - I wanted him to mimic the techmarines and tech priests of mars so I did him in read.  This also helps him stand out among the sea of blue.

Here's a few of the regular juggernauts:

WIP of some chaos spawn

I love chaos spawn.  The models allow lots of creativity and painting them is great as well.  So I figured I would dig some various spawn out and start swapping pieces around on ones that were duplicates or that I just didn't care for.


This is the old metal spawn.  I had two of them so I decided to tear one down and add bits from the chaos spawn sprue.



The one on the left is a Forge World Fantasy chaos spawn that came with a chaos sorcerer.  The model is great but its original arms and quite thin and its fingers snapped off almost instantly.  So rather than have him run around with no fingers I decided to remove his arms and swap some other bits on.

The one on the right is a Kromlech spawn.  I had two of them so I started adding plastic chaos spawn bits to the body.


 



The all still need a little green stuff work around their joints which I will get to shortly, hopefully.

The Lost and the Damned

I've been working on some mutants/cultists to add to my lost and the damned list.  Some of them will also serve in the khorne daemonkin army.

Kultists of Khorne - I've got quite a few more of these guys to make/paint.  I need at least 16.  Planning to give a couple of them flamers as well.  These guys are made a mix of parts from blight wheel, puppetswar, kromlech, GW flagellents and catachans.






Some other mutants:  These mutants are made using victoria lamb, maxmini and GW bits.





 

And a few more silly mutants:  These are made using kromlech, max mini and GW bits.

Kromlech Herald of Nurgle

Since I was painting a bunch of nurgle stuff I figured I would slip this fellow in the queue.  He's a lovely figure with lots of character and open wounds.  My wife really hates all the nurgle stuff I paint and my sons ask me why I always paint the ugly guys. :)  I guess they are just more fun...







Darn mold line!

Mutants for the Lost and the Damn FW army list

The army list from the Lost and the Damned FW book has lots and lots of options.  Some good, some not so good.  Being the devotee of chaos that I am I had to make some of the new units.  I've wanted to make mutants for a long time and previously used beastmen and ungors.  I wanted to try something different this time around.  Its hard to make good mutants without spending a lot of effort and time.  Neither of which I am able to dedicate to my hobby any longer.  So I re-purposed my Victoria Lamb Penal Guard unit to become mutants.  I didn't really have a good idea so I just took flagellent arms and chopped off their hands.  Then I glued blades, flails, hooks, etc in place of the hands.  Sort of like really crummy archo-flagellents.  I threw in a few tentacles and other oddities as well.  I've got some different heads on the way that should help a bit as well.  My plan is to have 2 units of 30.  I've tried to mix in various different bits to make the unit look as though its been formed out of the remnants.

I've used bits from Victoria Lamb, Blight Wheel, Maxmini, Kromlech, GW catachans, and GW flagellents.  The other heads I have coming are from Puppetswar and Ristul.

Here they are so far:

60 Great Coat Orks on eBay

I'm trying to clear out some extra orks I have laying around so that I can up my backing for The Green Alliance KS from Maxmini.

I've got 2 units of 30 great coat orks.

Unit 1 - 26 custom great coat shoota boys using Kromlech great coat arms, 3 rokkets, 1 nob

Unit 2 - 26 custom great coat boys without arms, 3 rokkets with arms, 2 micro art studio nob (1 with power klaw and shoota/slugga, 1 no arms)

I also put my great coat warboss up on eba.  This is the bloke that kicked these Blood Axe boys around.

Couple of Mobs of boys painted

In addition to all the characters I also painted up a unit of ard boys and a third of the punk rock Mohawk mob.
