Waaaagghhhh!!!!!!! Right, this is my thread for my Adventures with my Orks! My Backstory: Back in 1997 I received got the 2nd edition box and started an Ork and space marine army’s, though then in 1997 I got my hands on the GORKAMORKA box set. It was from this game that my Ork collection took off! Orks were my Primary army though the whole of 3rd Edition, with my Cult of Speed fighting ‘proudly’ in the 3rd war of Armageddon. After close to a decade of playing in 2004, with the advent of 4th edition I stopped playing. From the starter games in the 2nd war for Armageddon to the small mob fights of Gorkamorka before returning to the Epic battles of Armageddon my forces were neatly always led by the same Ork Boss ‘Morfang’. Well When I returned to the hobby in 2010 I decided that I did not want to rebuild my Ork army, though I would frequently find myself playing around with ‘what ifs’ and planning it out. But I never pulled the trigger. Since the start of 8th edition I wasn’t happy with any of my armies, I wasn’t having fun painting them. And I wasn’t getting many games in, so I was falling behind on conversations about ‘meta’ (Mostly as I was playing a pile of AOS, but that’s for another site). And then in the last 4 months I haven’t painted a single model and wanted something to focus my creativity on! So after organizing all my bits and starting to sell parts of my collection I no longer want, I decided that it’s time to rebuild my Ork Army. Going Froward: I have decided that I will not be rebuilding a Cult of Speed, though it will be a heavily mechanized forced… Ork Vehicles are the best part of the army in my view! But I have few plans at the moment just going to build and paint things based on my whim and not to any grand plan! Story wise, the collection will represent the Warboss Morfangs attempt to get involved with the war between the Imperial forces, fighting against the Daemon Warsmith Uverons black crusade: aka my other two collections, allowing me to have a unified basing system, and the ability to make dioramas for armies on parade without much issue! And also explains were the Orks are getting the parts I am ‘looting’ from my bits box! The first unit! Well I have a few orders in the post at the moment, and you will see updates about them soon. But for now we have my first unit! Looted Sentinels / Killer Kans Starting with two very old Sentinels that have been stripped of paint, and a 3rd kit that I picked up for my R&H army I was building a few years ago and a number of bits from my bits boxes I have built a trio of Killer Kans with Rockkit Launchas! In the next few days I have an order of Ork bits arriving so I will be able to add Ork glifs and Klaws to the models. Until then CC is welcome!
