Orktober 2021: Da Deep Drek Chukkaz

A little late in the starting but here goes a cleaning challenge. I’m painting my beloved ork Blood Bowl team, Da Deep Drek Chukkaz.

In the long long ago I painted up a team in metal that GW had offered. Over time the sculpts got revised and I was pleased to see the new vision of what the orks could be. Knowing what was being done with the online version of the game it was a nice change. The bad part is that the team became part of my backlog. Here we are again in Orktober and I think that these greenskins need love and attention aside from other things I have going on. I’ve only got the month so I need to be fast.

So uhh.. yeah. Another addendum to the project as I meant to finish it years ago. I’ve come back to working on this as recently my FLGS has started talking about a BB league. This all comes from the 3rd season being launched. I’ve also been kicking out some teams for the store to use in starter and demo games. Hooray for procrastination.

So a decision on orky aesthetics is on the docket. I was between dags and checkers on the shoulder pads. Both are classic to the look. I’m divided as each has been shown to work. Since I need to divide this from the Black Orks painted for my FLGS the checks win. Final touches are in progress.

To much less fanfare than I would have liked I am now done with these figures. The project really should have been lumped in with my hobby blog but here we are. I have seen that much bigger projects deserve their own entries into the system.

Now time for me to work on my New Year’s resolution of finishing two armies.
