A whole LOTTA Orks. My partner said I’m “staying home too much” so made me buy a LOT to play with at the local shop.
It’s…
SQUIGS GONE WILD!
WILD! WILD! WILD!
(I’m going to make t-shirts, light heather pink, with deep red fuzzy 70s letters … any opponent shows me Squigs they get a shirt)
The Cult of Squig Snagga Ladz – they wear the pelts of the Squigs on their heads as armour and a source of terror. they also have vaguely phallic pink mushrooms on their bases, lol
da Warboss, Smashgit, on foot; he sports a spare shoulder pad as a helmet, and has a shiny targeting squig
The Killa-Squig-Kans!
I used “loon boss on squig” from Sigmar, for the Squig faces, plus one from the 40k riders set, to create a living insane-o beast-machine three, in fact one has feet – and a tail
Skeleyor is sad – the new MOTU isn’t available here boo!
close shot of Grumpy-Kan, with a Grotzooka full of crap
I also started playing guitar and want to start a band ‘56 reissue Fender Custom Shop heavy relic Stratocaster. If you live near me, and want to jam, DM me
the Blue Mondorks white skull faces make them scary ooooooooh!
Painting style: LFSENMM (lazy, fake, sky-earth, non-metallic metal). Zero “real metals” used
Mosty Vallejo paints; primers, model acrylics, air, with rust build by AK acetic. Lots of glazes using Vallejo glaze medium (tried Army Painter medium and GW (Lahmian?) which are similar, not what I wanted). Basing is Imperialis with Golden coarse pumice gel, and slime is Createx Wicked Colours (usually I use these for airbrushing goalie masks, etc). With Water Texture. Testors Dullcoat (the only rattle can I still use), the. Vallejo Gloss Varnish to bring up some areas.
I also use Army Painter Strong Tone and Military Shader washes along the way as needed.
Upcoming:
30x Grots “da bone’eadz” – skulls with ears added; they are utterly malevolent looking little gits (grots don’t WAAAGH!, they “wiiiigh!”)
3x Runtherds, heavily converted, skull helmets, arms, etc
Zodgrod – least favourite 3D jigsaw puzzle
Painboy
Painboss
Big Mek W Shokk Gun

Gunwagon made from Ash Wastes truck, Forgeworld Grot Kannon (think French CAESAR looking beast) with Klaws
