+++ORKTOBERFEST 2021+++

Orktober 1st through Nobvember 30th

Listen up, ya gitz!

Orktoberfest 2021 is the inaugural event hosted in the Orks sub-forum, designed to boost the greenskin presence in the Bolter and Chainsword, foster community growth, and just get some more of Gork and Mork's finest painted.

The goal is simple: paint something Orky in the timeframe and share it on these hallowed boards.

Da Rules:

• Start Date: Orktober 1st
• End Date: Nobvember 30th, all day for all time-zones
• Make a post in the event thread in the Orks sub-forum detailing your pledge, with a picture.
• A pledge may be any single model, unit, or group of units, so long as they are either unpainted at the start of the event, or have no more than a single color basecoat.
• When the pledge is complete, make another post in the event thread including a picture of the finished pledge.

And that's it! You may make as many pledges as you want, even adding more in as the event goes.

Da Spoilz

For making a pledge, you may place this badge in your signature:


Those who complete their pledge will be awarded the following badges:

A Boy - for completing any pledge


A Nob - for completing any pledge, of 300 points or more (across all pledges)



And for the git that pledges for, and completes, the most points, they will have the honor of donning Da Boss badge:


What now?

In this thread, please post a picture of your pledge in it's starting condition (IE, unpainted or with one solid color basecoat) and proudly state your intent!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event Host's note: This is my first event, and I've purposefully chosen to keep it rather simple. The hope is that we get some more pictures of Ork models painted on the B&C, maybe some fresh traffic in the Ork sub-forum, and in future years I can expand it with more badges and other things. I just couldn't miss the opportunity to get an event going with all the new models coming!

'Ere we go! My first ever Orks! We've got the contents of a Combat Patrol box and a set of Kommandoz for what I think is a total of 350 points, although I don't have the Codex so I don't actually know for sure!

[andes]

Oi, gitz! We gots a load uv dem Snagga Boyz dats joined da WAAAGH! but deys all grey and weedy. Da Paintboy sez dey'll be ded 'ard once dey get sum color on 'em so dat's wut we're gonna do.

 

Paintboy sez da Nob on Smasha Squig is where he's gonna start... even used some humie gubbin' to make a picture.

 

 

[Grotsmasha]

For da Ladz'

I'm innit for 18 Boyz and a Nob, gotta get enough ladz together for SMA: Rise of the Orks, pic shortly.....

(For those wondering, yes, they're a bit smaller, inspired by the size difference depicted in Ol' Bale Eye, I printed them at 85%, so the "special" models in RotO would stand out).

Edited September 30, 2021 by Grotsmasha

[Guest Triszin]

I pledge: mozrog skragbag for the first pledge!!

 

 

* I am still waiting on his delivery

** My store did not receive any Orks in his shipments so sadly my pledge is delayed

Edited October 2, 2021 by Triszin

[MithrilForge]

Warboss L'Gorg* 'eard about dis 'ere Orktoberfest an finks it sounds ded Orky.

So 'e's sent ten of da boyz ta go an join in, see if we can't make a right big Waaaagh outta it!



Ten Beastie Boyz for Orktober!

Well, jus' as soon as dey get's demselves togevver.

'Ere we go!

-=-=
*My Warboss's name came from an epic mis-spelling of the word 'Glory' as 'Lgorg', proving inspiration comes along when you least expect it.

[Brother Argent]

Right den ladz, bout damned time we got back ta doing some krumpin! Da boyz from da Bleak are back and right ready for a good scrap. First we is gunna send in some of the boyz. If dey get em selved squicked at least we will get a good laugh!

I, Brother Argent, vow to return from my most recent absence from this great forum and start in a most unlike me fashion by making a sensible vow of a squad of ten of the new ork boys from the combat patrol.

More will come if I can manage to get through it.

EDIT: Before Pic

Edited October 11, 2021 by Brother Argent

[Closet Skeleton]

Small vow since I'm waiting on the Squigasaur boss.

145 pts for Nob on Smasha Squig, 3 Squighog boys with Bomb Squig

[01RTB01]

Well I picked up my squigosaur, kill rig and painboss this afternoon.

 

I'm aiming to get painting underway soon, I've got pics of primed stuff but need to get on laptop to upload. I've got about 2k primed once the squigosaur, painboss and rig are ready. I'm not pledging all of it lol

[toaae]

Looking great, boyz!

I ain't going to miss no proppa' scrap, so I'm pledging:

1xNob on Smasha Squig

5xSquighog Boyz w/ 1 bomb squig

20x Beast Snagga Boyz

10x Storm Boyz

for 525 points. Plan is to get them to a battle-ready standard and then go back to finish them afterwards. This is a lot of minis for me, we'll see if I can get it done.

[YoungWolf7]

All right then. I'll get stuck in with my mighty "Gigasquig". 3D sculpt from the Dark Gods - Eternal Kickstarter (RipJawz).
 
He has no corresponding codex entry, but I did scale him up to 125% which puts him on either a 160mm round base or a knight base. So counts-as a Gorka/Morkanaut? He's a bit smaller than a Stompa from what measurements I can gather from online images. Whatever you feel is fair points wise toaae.

[Brother Dallo]

I’m in the middle of painting my Ullanor scale Ork Killteam, but will pledge the eligible models, so put me down for five Kommandos.

Dallo

 

Edit:

 

Added photo

 

 

The back models are all brown, so I think that's fine?

how would something that is a legends unit without points be counted?  I ask because I have the artel W squad of goff rokkers-- but those are limited to being power level only currently.

 

I have plenty of other orks, dont get me wrong-- but would like clarification

Although people have been including points, there is no such mandate in the rules, just

 

• A pledge may be any single model, unit, or group of units, so long as they are either unpainted at the start of the event, or have no more than a single color basecoat.

Yeah, this. The points are just tracked for the purposes of "Da Boss" badge. If you are interested in going for it but wanted to include stuff that doesn't have points, I'll make a ruling that I think is fair to the board. In the case of something with PL score, I'll just do the standard 1PL=20pts.

 

The overall focus is just on painting Orky stuff!

[01RTB01]

This weekend I've built my painboss, built and magnetised Mozrog and the boss, a dread and kill rig. Even had a game Saturday night!

 

This week I intend to get some paint thrown down. Pictures forthcoming.

[Crom's Will]

I, Crom's Will, hereby vow to paint this lil' 'un...


... and some of its friends.

That is one stompa, ten beast snagga gitz, three squighog boyz and one nob on squighog.

Plus the lil' 'un.

Happy Orktober everyone!

Cant get the gallery to work, so heres a link to my instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUmmUZpLv6j/?utm_medium=copy_link

This is my vow: 1 warboss in mega armor, 1 beast boss, 3 deff koptas, 1 mozgrod (the character from the beast snagga box), the kommandos from the kill team set, 5 artel goff rokkers, and a freeboota warboss

Will calculate the points after twitch streaming today

 

+edit+ points come out to 830 points before Goff Rokkers and according to this quote

5 goff rokkers at 4pl each = 400, for a grand total of 1230 for a first vow.  I've already started my ghazkull for my 12 months of hobby challenge, otherwise I'd add him too LOL

You can join at any time!

 

The rules for this event are deliberately loose, to encourage participation of any kind and to ease the burden on a first time event-runner.

Alright then, I'll see how things are after the 23rd and will probably join in then with a few minis. Thanks for organizing this! :)

[nusphigor]

I, Nusphigor da green, vow ta paint dis 'ere Warboss 'Eadchoppa 'coz green iz best!

[Azekai]

Fun event! Congrats on running your first, toaae!

So, here goes my pledge! Ol' 'Eadkrumpa, my scratch-built deffdread. 85 points of stompy, close-range death. He is made out of busted old toys, spare GW bits, and lots of hot glue. His main body is from a plastic case for holding sewing machine bobbins.
