A quick and dirty post today – Just something fun to show off all of the Orks that I’ve recently painted in a group shot. Da Boyz are certainly back in town! By the time their codex comes out, I’m hoping that I should be well on my way to a small (points-wise) but playable force. I’m quite pleased how well the Orks from such different eras work together as a group. Consistent basing and an overall shared palette/theme really make a difference!
Your ork mob looks fantastic, well done!!

Just excellent. Beautiful warband, if one can say that regarding Orcs.

I look forward to seeing them. I’m finding painting my own Orks are a bit like Pringles, and a great thing to paint alongside Marines and other models for a change of pace.

I really like these guys and it has me looking differently at some of the older models now. I’d certainly be proud to include guys like these in my own forces.

I admit, I’m unsure how to go about adding the grunts from RTB02 – as they’re much smaller. 25mm or 32mm? I don’t want them mistaken for grots!

Yes, I could see where they might object to that. Thought Codex Creep was bad … imagine having to tell some smart-arsed Dark Vengeance boxed set boy, “Sure I’m small not but back in my day even Ultramarines trembled at our mighty Waaagh!” … and now you are in danger of being mistaken for a grot.

I’ve literally just picked out another pair of old RT Orks to clean up, base and get into the queue. It’s nice having a couple (not too many at a time!) of those mixed in, as I always find it much easier to paint individual models than a unit at a time. These guys are on the smaller side, so I’ll see how they look on 32s before going all the way with the tiny RTB02s…

Brilliant effort mate, great to see this lot assembled & ready to cause some mayhem. I’m a big fan of the use of camouflage schemes throughout, and the unity this achieves – while still keeping each boy an individual of course! Spot on.

Cheers Alex. It’s pretty fun to have so many disparate types of camouflage creating a unified look rather than the opposite.

These are lovely. Missed them before. The old orks and the new Nelson plastics are really well integrated by the tight paint job and classic colour choices, great work.
