A very simple and straightforward post today for my 25th on the Orky topic – a single pic featuring all of my currently completed Rogue Trader Orks. Not a ton of Boyz by today’s 40k-horde-standards, but I think a decently respectable little group of models from the day. There will of course be many more, bit by bit…
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
I like them and it’s great seeing them together! 🙂 A consistent appearance overall, but a lot of subtle differences in the figures!

Cheers, John – that’s what I’m going for – each paintjob a unique one with an eclectic mix of different desert camos, but clearly from the same horde of Orks…

Cheers mate – I may have fallen down at the end stretch, but the majority of those models (20 of ’em) got painted because of your post. And shortly, the final five that I “owe” you… 😉

I love me some Waaaagh!!!! Man the orks in 40K need to feature more. I recently learned there is a series called Beast Arises that I am interested in starting to collect.

Yeah that one looked interesting to me – It’s set post Horus Heresy, and has some intriguing aspects to it. Let us all know what you think of them once you get stuck into the series as I’ve considered picking them up! 🙂

Gonna be a while… I have book 8 in the series, but do not know if it can be read as a stand alone yet. just got it cause it was cheap and a hardcover on my trip to SA.

Either way, you’re still doing a lot better than I am – and I’m noit exactly reading up a storm right now anyway, so I have nothing but patience on that front. 😉

Very cool- it’s great to see them altogether and the camp effect is top quality! Is that the nob at the front with the camo cap?

Cheers Steve – the Ork with the camo cap is just another of Da Boyz. The only “Nob” in the bunch is the one on the side with the chainsword, as he’s the leader from the Space Ork Raiders box. Which is a set that I need to finish the last models from in a near-future Tray…

Thansk Mike! I really do want to get a bunch more into the production line sooner rather than later!

They look great all together. The funny thing is that 30ish years ago this would have been pretty much your whole army; now you could expect to lose this many Orks and more to a single turn of enemy shooting.

Well, maybe not all the time – we had some big games even back then – but yeah it would have been a playable force on its own without too much more!

An amazing collection there.

Thanks Pete – I’m hoping to incorporate at least a few more old school models in each time I refresh the tray..

Ah nice- really like how he’s posing with that chainsword. They make for a really striking group! Do you have many Space Ork Raiders to go?

From that original boxed set, just three. Two heroes and the Heavy Bolter Ork. Let’s see if I can get the boxed set from 1st edition finished before 9th comes out!

I really like the personality and variation in the old sculpts. They look amazing as a squad and you did a great job painting them up. I think these would look awesome in Kill Team games in the near future but if you’ve got more laying around, I’d love to see them painted up!

Thanks Kuribo! This is (very) roughly half of my old RT-era Orks, I think. I aimed to paint up the more boring half of my collection first, so after completing those the others would be more fun to paint and keep my enthusiasm up.

Thanks Warburton. Not quite as bright as the second edition stuff, but I still like to throw a few nods in there on these older models. Once I get to my 2nd-Gen Orks (not many of them left now) there’ll be more of those touches! 😉

You’re in luck, mate! It’s about 90% based on this tutorial video:
The main difference is that I use a patch of Agrellan Badlands and also a patch of Agrellan Earth to give more variety in the cracked textures.

Oh, and I do my rocks in a few shades of grey from dark > light, and then wash them with 50-50 blakc and brown wash.
