Hey all. Some of you may recognise me making a nuisance of myself over in the Adeptus Mechanicus forum. I have a load of Tech Priests coloured green. Orks are my other green, walker heavy army. Since I've got quite a lot of pictures I am not going to flood the "Show me what you've got" page with pictures, I will post a project log of my work so far. My Ork force wasn't painted to as high a standard as my Mechanicus but hopefully people will find what I've made so far interesting. First up is my Warboss. He is painted in the same style as my rank and file, but he gets to embellish some of his wargear since he's in charge. The sandy yellow and blue stripes were inspired by the 2nd edition codex. The grey urban camo in spots is because I'm a glutton for paint-related punishment. I love this model. I'm just a little sad that the belt fed bullets are a bit to fragile for a gaming piece. Next up is my Deff Dread. This is possibly the first of many. I went for a bit of a dramatic scene on the base, it was good fun trying to get the pose how I liked it. I've got a Big Mek here. He was an experiement with GW metallic, I had quite a bit of fun trying out techniques that I have now completely forgotten how to replicate. When I started my Mechanicus army I kept a notebook to describe the ways I painted various effects. I might do that when I get round to my Orks again. A Warboss, because one Warboss isn't enough to start an entertaining squabble. I've got a 10-strong unit of Stormboys, here are the most interesting three. I have more boxes of Stormboys to bolster the unit, but making them match the first batch will prove tricky. Note here that the camo scheme is reversed on the Stormboys, blue with tan stripes.

Here's some of my grots compared to a fantasy goblin, once of the first miniatures I owned and painted on. I advise keeping an early model just so you can grasp how your painting skill improves over time. -

Here's a few of my slugga mob. I didn't want to show all 30 of them because they are a bit samey. I'm sure most ork players would agree they are a bit bland. -

Here's a guy I converted using the noisy end of an old metal assault cannon. He was only meant to have a shoota but he might manage to be a big shoota if I gave him an ammo pack. -

Here's my looted wagon. I wanted a big chunky dragster with some big engines loosely wired into place. In the only game this wagon served in I rolled a 1 for movement, at which point the wiring in it's engines connected and it surged forward... completely blocking my entire army's advance, at which point they were shot off the table in quick order. It deserves another chance on the table but I don't play 40k at the moment. -

Here's the shooty half of my Stompa. -

Here's another Team fortress 2 Reference in my army. This grot is wearing the same helmet as the TF2 demoman's Sober Stantman, itself a reference to the legendary stuntman, Evel Knievel. This will ensure this plucky grot walks away from his daring stunts. -

...However a view from behind shows there is nowhere near enough wire to reach a target. Cue a grot being towed behind the rocket steering it in wild corkscrews. http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png -

Here's another luck grot, given his own wire-guided missile to fire... -

I added this to my stompa because in the first set of rules for the stompa the rockets on the model were more accurate than normal shooting due to grot steering so I decided to add a grot bomb launch rack. In my head I pictured that the grot was told he was being given a fighter, but when he dives into an attack, the steering controls just snap off when he tries to pull up. It fits in with the fairly dark humour of the ork background. -

Here's a large Kustom Force Field array made from Tau drones and some landing gear. Sadly I dont think Stompas are allowed to take this wargear. It was originally an upgrade from the Dread Mob in Apocalypse. I also got to play around with some orange lighting effects on the chimney stack too. -

These Burnas have a few references to Team Fortress 2 and in particular the Pyro's cosmetic items. -
