#lootas

[Image ID: eight photos of painted miniatures of Warhammer 40K orks. In all cases, the primary colors are blue and steel, with purple, blued steel, brass, and copper accents. Creatures have green skin, and a red-painted left boot. The first photo is of a helmeted ork with a glaive in one hand. He has a gold-painted halo of metal mounted to his armor behind his head. The second photo is of a ork with a horned helmet and red metal armor. He has a glaive held in two hands and a horned skull mounted on the pole on his back. The third photo is of an ork with a topknot and a lascannon instead of a right arm. He holds an axe in his left hand, and has two poles on his back: one with a horned skull, the other with a metal ork skull and bone. The fourth photo is of an ork with heavy cybernetics, including half of his face, and both arms. His arms end in large metal cutting claws. He has a metal plate on the pole on his back that reads “Sz Klaw.” The fifth photo is of an ork with cybernetics, including a tesla-coil instead of a left ear. He holds a very complicated blaster, has a wrench over his shoulder, and a pole with a crossed wrench and hammer on his back. The sixth photo is a composite of two orks with very large, over-the-shoulder guns. The ork on the left has a goblin in his backpack, feeding ammo into the gun’s hopper. The seventh photo is a composite of two orks with full face masks, fuel tanks on their backs, and flamethrowers. The eighth photo is of an ork with cybernetic eyes and smokestack built into his head. He is carrying a fuel tank on his back, and has a belt-fed machine gun with an underslung flamethrower and a shield mounted over the barrel of the gun. An inset detail shot of the shield shows that it is in the shape of an ork face. It reads “ZOG” on the shield, with the ‘o’ being formed by the barrel of the gun. End Image ID.]

Yeah, I don’t have legal numbers of lootas and burnas, but I wasn’t ever planning on using them in the by-the-books game, so no big deal. Maybe in a kill team.

I had fun with the box of nobz and my bitz box, thus the living orkon of Saint Nika, and the surprisingly small but much angrier boss of the red-armoured beetle boyz. And the cybernobz. And Mr. ‘what if I had a combi-weapon, but MOAR?’ I think they’ve got lots of character, even if only one of them earned a name by the end of painting (Ghostglaive, Beetleboyboss).

The start of Waaagh! Wolrd-Burner.

After too long a Sunday shift, the only productive bit of painting I’ve done on my orks is adding a layer of Warboss Green to the skin.

Still, at least it’s coming along.

WIP shot of my Ork boys. Not a huge lot done on them, just basecoating and washing the skin. I would get around to doing more now but I’ve got work tomorrow morning and I don’t want to stay awake too late.
