Kanz in the Can!

These Killa Kanz represent (almost) the last of my Orks. I do still have about 15 Nobz (in addition to the 30 or more I already have in the army already), but those will remain in the bitz box for now in the event that I need some seargents kitted up with something else or some other Characters. I actually would like to make a quartet of Shokk Attack Gun Big Meks on bikes at some point. For now, we're leaving it be. That'll do, pig. That'll do. I'll be making a huge post with pics of everything tomorrow. For now, here are my Kanz. Thanks to Skip for being so kind as to supply me with the project.

Gee, these guys were fun to put together. As usual, the red-on-yellow scheme is sometimes hit or miss. This project is no different. Some of these models look great, others not so much. But I'm happy with them as they are. They are extremely rough in harsh light like the rest of my models painted like this, but that's fine.

I gave them all Big Shootas. I figured that this was a good choice, representing the kind of cowardly nature of Grots. I like the idea of them slowly clanking forward, shooting at infantry, then charging into combat when they can, using Smash against anything tough enough to make their str 6 ineffective.

Painted:Purchased ratio is now 49:19

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
