The WAAAGH! is growing!
I have officially bought all the models I need (and a little extra thanks to a great deal I found at I-CON) to put together my 500 pt Ork army. Now I face the very fun but very time-consuming task of finishing assembly, painting and basing. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
This is my warboss in mega armour. Pretty awesome isn’t he? I assembled him this week because I want to bring him to falgrim’s on Sunday. As you can see, he still needs to be primed, painted and based.
The core of any good ork army is boyz, boyz and more boyz. I’m a little jealous of Barry Lutz that she only needs to assemble and paint 15 chaos marines while I need to assemble and paint 31 ork boyz. Below is the progress I’ve made so far. Two are fully painted and based. Six more are assembled and I started painting them. The rest are still in boxes.
Leading my slugga boyz will be my slugga nob. He’s bigger than the boyz but not as big as the warboss. He’s assembled and primed but needs paint and basing.
I love Killer Kans! To me, they are the epitome of the ork aesthetic. They are tough and badass, but at the same time kind of adorable. My 500 pt army includes two which I assembled this week to bring on Sunday. I should have put an ork in the photo for scale. Kans are about twice as tall as ork boyz. Again, these need to be primed, painted and based.
I bought two of the exact same killer kan models, but I didn’t want them to look the same, so I got creative. On one of them I used toothpicks to represent spikes. And Barry donated a chaos marine head to put on one of the spikes. I also need to give credit to herzwesten, whose brilliant idea it was to heat up a nail and use that to make the hole in the plastic head.
At I-CON last month I picked up a kannon at a 50% discount. My current 500 pt army list doesn’t include this kannon, but I could easily swap out one of the 45 pt kans for the 30 pt kannon and then have 15 points left over to play with. The kannon also still needs to be primed, painted and based. Aren’t the little grots cute?
