Diggaz Infantry

When WAAGH! Drillteef broke apart into several warring factions across the Pakeshi Sector, the surviving Humans of Shatara Prime benefited from it greatly. On that world, which the Orks now called Ghorok, the Orks were spending all their time fighting amongst themselves. They largely ignored the filthy humans scraping out a meager existence on the outskirts of the hives and in the blasted wastes beyond.

In time, many of the Humans, called Diggaz by the few Orks who bothered to notice them, actually developed thriving tribes. Some even began to trade with some of the Ork clans. Of course, many more were enslaved by the Orks, but the humans were cunning and the Orks were too splintered to mount much of a scouring mission against the many hidden Digga settlements. 

Recently, some of the Oddboyz on Ghorok have even taken to employing Diggaz as mercenaries in their scraps against the bigger, meaner Ork bosses. What the Diggaz lack in brute strength, they make up for in cunning. Their ability to use (and to some extent repair) the discarded Imperial technology left behind from the Shatara War makes them a formidable ally, if paid well.

I want to thank the awesome listener who sent me these Diggaz models for my collection. I was able to cobble together enough Lascannon and Zzapgun bitz and some Star Wars miniatures to make an Infantry Platoon and Company Command Squad from the Renegades list by Black Library. I'll be running these in small games, Gorkamorka, and as allies for my Orks.  I have a few more models coming up, including a Chimera and 3 Leman Russ tanks.

Ordo Draconis Armies on Parade

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Orks either for F

2021 in Review and Looking Forward

Newly-painted models of 2021 Hobby progress was largely successful in 2021 with a huge focus on repainting old Orks into the new scheme.  Album for fully painted models of 2021: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CPwtmvia5UQLguka8 Album for repainted models of 2021:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/WxGgtThxS7M6bdmp6 By the numbers: Points fully painted: 4457 Models fully painted: 132 Points repainted: 5467 Models repainted: 205 Total points: 9924 Total models: 337 After completing all the repaints, I managed to get some army shots of the Orks, which doesn't include the new Megaboss or the Bossbunker, but it's most everything else, about 26,000pts in new money: Morkers Morkers Dreadmob Gorkers Mercenaries and Misc. 2022 For 2022, I have a lot of projects on the burner including more Orks, a Cities of Sigmar project, and Tau. As usual, the Rogue Trader idea keeps percolating and collecting one kit at a time in its little, plastic container. Orks: 9x Killa Kans 3x Deffkoptas (also need to rebase
