Space Orks

When I first got 2nd ed 40k, the main army I played with were the Orks. I’ve always loved this era of Ork (and correspondingly, the ones from roughly the same time in Warhammer Fantasy Battle). While the slightly later (Brian Nelson era) Orks are ok, I never really vibed with them.

I don’t seem to have all of my old Ork army, but a few models did manage to get through whatever purges seem to have occurred. This has been supplemented over the years with a few purchases. Last autumn, I push ahead to get a good chunk of the Orks that I had to hand base coated, so they could be used in games without being too much of an eyesore.

Here you can see the majority of them with base colours and bases done. I’ve also completed a few more units since, but the majority of these need finishing off at some point, and I have another 30 or so boys to do split across Bad Moons, Snakebites and Blood Axes.

Of the ones that are finished, we have the following: A Weirdboy, a Painboy, some Goffs, a 3D printed Battlewagon and Gobsmasha (designed by the excellent Dr Spork), a shokk attack gunner and his Runtherd friend, some Blood Axes Commandos and Deathskullz, and a dreadnought.
