Insert Inappropriate Title Here

I spent ages trying to come up with an appropriate pun-based title for this post, but I couldn't come up with a way to talk about these particular models without inviting the wrong sort of visitors to the page.

Look at my Nobz.

Get Yer Nobz Out

Big Nobz

See what I mean?

Anyway, here they are. The last four Orks I currently own are now painted. Again I've painted them as Bad Moons because that's the core clan of my army with 'specialists' coming from other armies. 

In addition to the one I painted alongside the Warboss, it gives me a unit of 5. However, for the time being, I will need to use two of them as a Mekboy and a Runtherd to allow me to use the Squig Katapult, so until I get some more models I'll be running a unit of three with my Warboss, which is fortunately a thing that's allowed.

This chap here will by my stand in Mekboy for the time-being, and might actually stay in that role, allowing him to have acombi-flamer and a some kind of bioniks (I've not really thought it through) He will probably need a boss pole with a spanner on it if this becomes the case.

This chap was demoted. He was in my original purchase and was destined to be my Warboss until I picked up the bigger model from Assault on Black Reach. He still might end up as a character with a cybork body and an attack squig because I'm already quite fond of him.

The squig is a much brighter orange, it just hasn't come out on the photo.

This is pretty much the exact same model as the other Nob I painted (the left arms are at slightly different angles) so I've gone to the effort of making sure that his flashes of yellow are in different places as. In the long run it won't matter, but whilst they are running about in tiny units, I want there to be at least a touch of visual variation.

Finally there's this chap, who's another one of those problems hidden in eBay photos. He arrived without shoulder pads and had big squared holes in his shoulders. Therefore I've fashioned him pads from the spare foot from the Leviathan Dreadnought kit (I am making loads of use of the spares in that kit) and I positioned them to cover as much of the holes as possible and filled the bits that were still visible. I like that Orks really to respond to the kitbash aesthetic really well.

He still needs a gun of some sort and he might be the one who ends up as my Runtherd as the idea of throwing stikkbombz around a large mob of Gretchin amuses me.

So barring a few spare Gnoblars to do, that is all the Orks I've bought recently painted. I now have about 1000 points in second edition, which should be good for a game, although I'm going nowhere near the Eldar until I have a Weirdboy. I'm still planning to kitbash another artillery piece and I'll probably aim to get at least a game in before I buy more.
