Luftwaaaagh: an Ork Flying Circus army blog

Recommended Posts

Along with my burnas, I finished my two new Ork Zeppelins during my 24-hr paint challenge on Friday.

Behold the Orkron and the Morkon (named after the USS Akron and the USS Macon, both of which met their demise similiar to the Hindenberg):

The Orkron:

The Morkon:

...or was it the Gorkon? The orks haven't sorted that out yet, and continue to argue over the correct name even while in flight :biggrin.: :

The Morkon gondola and crewmembers:

I love the Ork trying to rename the ship mid-flight, that's just class. :D

 

Your airships look fantastic. They look so boldly painted. Does the (G)Morkon have a McDonald's arch glyph on the underside? I once had a McDonald's themed Gorkamorka gang way back in the mists of time. I just thought that was a funny touch.

:wub: …. Just WOW! would you look at all that hard work and how it's turned out! :wink:  super cool army bud :thumbsup: 

 

So colourful and Vibrant!, only thing to add to this would be a Grot/Snotling wearing a Woodstock type hat/skull or painted yellow sitting on "Snoopy's" doghouse

 

Such a Perfect army !

 

Cheers, Mithril

Just found this thread and with every post I thought "No. He didn't", "Nooo, he didn't do that". And I do know that a lot of people do a lot of things for "their dudes", they get creative and come up with strange and wonderful ideas, and to me, that has always been the most amazing part of the the hobby. And I do know that Orc Players are somewhat … different … in a good way! But you, dear Sir (or Madam, or Fungus … not totally sure at this point) … you have gone beyond all this … this is a whole new League of dedication and beauty. Oh, what a beauty to behold! From the heart of my heart: Thank you!

Hi praise and many thanks, this post was both hilarious and humbling :biggrin.:

Only the smallest of updates today. It has been some time, but I am hoping to get some kill-team games in during the early summer. To that end I made two grots to bring my kill-team roster up to exactly 100 points with both a leader and an ammo-runt.

gallery_103048_16519_327832.jpg

Both were converted with bits leftover from my Zeppelin projects, that being gnoblar bodies. I also made them some new masks in order to fit them in with the rest of my burna-boyz.

Although how would those grots fit their giant noses behind those masks is beyond me :biggrin.:
