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:

Fired up for Orks!

I'm getting pumped for the new Ork codex and expected releases.  The Speed Freaks box set looks amazing, I love the new buggy!  I've been painting up a load of orks lately to get my boys ready for battle.

I finished up the last of my Mega Nobs.

And the Big Mek.  I need to fix his banner which broke off during painting. :(

Zagsnark Da Rippa - Warboss on Rocket Bike

Greetings,
    It's been a LONG time since I posted anything.  Not because I haven't been doing anything I just haven't had the motivation to post pics and what not.  I've actually painted a number of armies over the last two years.  Most recently I've been catching up on some Orks with the imminent release of the new Ork Codex.

    Photobucket changed their rules about sharing pics which messed up my blog which also made it very tough to want to keep going.  I may just take new pics of stuff and start over or move my pics somewhere else. UPDATE:  It seems that all the old photobucket pics are again displaying.

    Since Orks are my first, last and only true love (except my lovey wife and children of course) I figured I might as well post some pics.  Plus I got a new photo box I want to try out. :)

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.

The Green Alliance - Maxmini Kickstarter

 The Green Alliance – a full blown sci-fi orcs and goblins army geared up with WW2 US Army inspired equipment.

As many of you may know Maxmini has been creating stunning bits and miniatures for years.  I'm a big fan of their work because of the high quality and great service.  

When I first found out about this project I was very excited.  If anyone can pull off something like this its Maxmini.  They do all the design, mold making and casting in house so they have years of experience.  This also means there is no 3rd party to deal with so there are less moving parts which means turn around time will be much better.  I also know for a fact that a fair amount of the figures are already cast, most, if not all, are already designed as well.  They need some help getting the project finished up and out the door.  Its a very expensive undertaking to do a project of this scale.  Not is it expensive in terms of financial commitment but it also ties up all your design and casting resource for the duration of the project.

Take a look at some of these models.

Orc SpecOps troopers heads

Those are stunning models.  The prices are reasonable as well; great if you consider the quality you get versus some other companies.  The orc and goblin troopers look amazing and I love the half track and, what I assume, is a mini goblin tank.

Maxmini already has all the stretch goals and freebies laid out so backers will know exactly what they are getting as the project progresses.

So what are you waiting for?  Whether you want to start a new and fantastic looking army or just add some great looking models to your existing army this Kickstarter is worth supporting.  Let's help it be a smashing success!

Mek Boy Junka Part 3

I finally decided how to do the exhaust and the rest of the rear of the junka.  The main exhaust is made from a Kromlech kannon.  Smaller exhausts are extra killer kan exhausts.  I added a few fiddly bits here and there as well as the from blade.  Its ready for paint.

I'm not sure how to paint it just yet.  I'm still thinking about it and trying to decide what would look best and be the most enjoyable.

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.
