r/orks

The latest upscaled models from my procrastination project, some truly ‘orrible gits (and a stormboy).

The models are by u/SmugglerBoutique and FDM 3d printed at 400% scale.

I paint these between regular mini projects and when I know I’m not going to have a lot of time to get deep into painting, so the paint jobs are pretty rough up close. Don’t zoom in.

The green skin is AK greens (dark/deep/light/frog & interior yellow highlight).

Thanks for looking 🤘🏻

So if orks releases spore when killed, how long do they release them? is it like over a period as they rot or like a burst? because if someone takes an ork trophy for the rack and goes to another planet are they spreading the ork menace?

I know basically nothing about orks but im dying to find out if this bit of their biology is talked about because it would be hilarious if space marines taking ork trophies are infecting their own worlds with no orks

- Boss, are we goin' in sneaky-like? - squeaked a Grot, hidin' behind a bit of rusted scrap.

- Sneaky is for dem dead-beat gits in purple! - the Mek barked, clippin' him round the ear. -Boyz! On da count of free!

- DA BOYZ IZ 'ERE! — the mob roared so loud the turret fell off a nearby tank.

- But Boss, we's still miles from da city... now they'll be ready for us!

- Good! Now they's scared! Waitin' for your turn to get krumped is part of da plan! WAAAGH!

my first kommando. I think I did a good job with it for the most part. But my one concern I have for it is the purple. how can I add more depth to some of the raised areas like the sleeves. I used a contrast luxion purple to try and get in the recesses to shade it, but idk if it helped too much since my original purple was pretty dark. ( I used naggaroth night purple for the base)

does it look fine? or should I do something for the raised areas of the purple shirt and bracers?

Painted as a gift for a friend. I need to snag one for myself to get my Waaagh ready for 11th!

here's my latest ork!!

the squig was completed using the same body blushing techniques used on Breyer horse models.

The cat's name is Duncan Idaho!

My gitz have got some choice bitz for their Gorkanaut. Particularly happy with the little hats for da boyz on board!

This one is Inspired by the really bright and well painted invader atv space marine mario kart color scheme that you've all probably seen on the Web a while back.

The kitbash itself is one of my more frustrating as it took me a couple of failed attempts to get the body in a way that I like and where it makes sense. My main goal was to add to the length of the vehicle so it's similar sized to the other GW buggies while having the kart look and feel. I'm happy enough with where it ended up.

Still have the base to do and some details but I wanted to share WIP progress now that it's somewhat complete looking.

Are you ready to return to the most fun place on this side of the great rift gitz ?

For a long time I was afraid to attack the big boss himself and he turned out to be one of my favorite model ! I had a really great time painting him and now I only wish for his futur new rules to be equally as fun.

Happy WAAAAAAAGH to all ;)

Stand ready for my arrival, git. You waz given orders, you waz given time. You were given more leeway’s than most, and yet I find this planet unprepared for the arrival of our WAAAGH! Da warbosses anticipated your resistance, which is why they sent me. I am the prophet of the WAAAGH!, and I am your last chance to fulfill your duty.

Da truth is... I want you to resist. I’z not here to save you. I'm not here to spread the greatness of the Ork WAAAGH! I'm here because I enjoy dis. See, tah me, der is no greata pleasure than feeling the warmth of my klaw... drenched in blood.

Pay Attention! I’z is so lonely. All the utha orks are scared of me. Noone talks to me. Noone wants to be my mate-- dey tink I am unstable. Dey’ze send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in dere name. And as I get better at it, dey fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. Prophet. I don't even get a real name, only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and noone sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point? Not a single ork in the entire universe would care. Take it to your grave.

Got inspired by some of you lot & YouTube of course. My first attempt at a new skin recipe - starting w/ purple, layering greens, and tans/pinks around eyes and mouth. Feedback would be much appreciated!!

Orks really are the best !

Finished one and ready for paint. This one goes to a good friend who needed one to complete his Ork Combat Team.

Back to work on the second one.
