More Boyz!!!

 

  I have a ton of Orks.  Like, a TON!  I only have 80 Boyz built and painted, but I make up for it with having almost everything else, and a couple or few of them.  I love my Orks!  The only problem is that GW has resized the bases on the models (much less the models themselves) and I have to rebase that "tons" of models to get modern complaint again.  Luckily, most of the stuff I had to rebase was bikes as vehicles don't have bases (ironically, they're all getting replaced soon.  Dagnabbit!) and the specialists are few (I can't not have Tankbustas, Burnas, and Lootas, so...).  

  And then comes the new 11th edition "Armageddon" box.  This has a ton of models!!!  And they're awesome!!!  The bigges problem I have is that the options are not reflected, making the Ork side a bit boring.  Otherwise, the models are phenomenal and two sets makes many of them (if they pack the boxes correctly, this is.  But that's a different story for a different post)...

  First came the lots of building part of the process.  Once these push-fit models were assembled, I popped them off their bases and primed the models white.  My plan is to use Speed Paints or Contrast to get this [suddenly completely new] army painted quickly.  

  I will admit that I love the new characters.  I already have a Banner Nob and a Weirdboy, and about a half dozen Warbosses.  But these models area remarkable in their simplicity and detail.  I believe the work is "elegant"- not something you hear with Orks.  The only complaint I have is that the Warboss is about as 'basic' as you can get- no armour, no Power Klaw, no supah-shoota, no attack Squig, nothing!  I will probably be using my outdated older Warboss models in-game as theuy're just more effective (cooler wargear is always cooler!).  

  I built and primed all the large vehicles with black instead of white.  My normal colour-scheme for Orks is rusty, and that is done best over black (like any metal).  That being said, I may just choose to add real colours to the models...

  And here's the entire 'take' from two boxes of Armageddon- that's a lot of Orks!!!

  That's as far as I've gotten so far.  There's a ton of other projects going on at the same time, so these are lower on the priority-scale.  But GW has released more and Orks always love more!  MOAR!!!

As always, Happy Hobbying!
