´roight!
A soft re-start for WFB, while slowly collection stuff is underway, I´m making two-ish, warbands, Orcs & Gobbos and Black Orcs for Mordheim. Most won´t be used for WFB, I´ll probably just make new versions, but I might rebase my Black Orc Boss if he turns out okay.. My first plan was to make a clone of my Shadow War Armageddon Kommando Boss: Just replacing the ´huge choppa´s head. But the project changed a little into this: Varag Ghoul Chewer´s head and the choppa-head will still be replace. Waiting for the Ardboys/Black Orc box to pop in.. That´s Boss´´uge choppa will do I think!
Then whilst cutting plastic I watched Army of Darkness for the hundreth time, or so.. And got this bruilliant (well) idea of this Ash-ork.. That got sucked into the warp from the 40k universe and ended up in Mordheim.. A daemon bit off one of ´is hands.. but he krumped it and attached a buzzsaw choppa to the stump. Along with him, he has his trusty shotgun shoot and the trukk who got sucked in as well.. I´ll try to get the skill to use a blunderbuss and find one, later. Or just use it as a bow, crossbow - or ignore it..
Ashork will lead the O & G-warband when needed
Still need to get back into painting.. But atleast I´m on my way, hehe.. My main opponent, that has never played Mordheim and I dragged into it.. Plays Undead so.. Those weedy skeletons and vamp will be hunted down by Ashork! Shaman and henchmen.. Still waiting for Gobbos and squigs to show up. As well as getting a River Troll. Big ´uns.. Weapons will be replaced apart from the sword. They are Maximork (heh) and Bull. Will make a couple of Black Orcs from the Ardboys box too,two weapons and probably a couple with great weapons because I like the look of it..
Critique is always welcome!

Very nice adaptations of 40K Orks for Fantasy! I look forward to seeing them painted in a more fantastical colour scheme as well - I never thought about those as an alternative to the OOP Fantasy kit until now! I'm most impressed to hear that you still play Shadow War Armageddon rather than jumping on the new Kill Team bandwagon, I easily prefer Shadow War because of its compatibility with the original Necromunda and because it was one of the last games to be set in proper, pre-8th 40K! Love your British Red-Beret Kommandos too, they'll give the rest of the 40K universe what-for

Thanks mate. Ah they are great for WFB/Mordheim! Their weapons, unless you look at Nobz, have no power kables etc.. But I found some old weapons, like those Boar Boy spears too - great for variation! I like Shadow War Armageddon! Not Kill team.. But I am an old fart and played 2nd Ed 40k so it is like coming home.. Except I always fall downa nd get pinned... But a new Nob with a kombi-skorcha is on the way! He´s gonna deal with a lot of weedy gits hiding! He´ll flush them out and then use the shoot to get some target practice on the screaming Bug Eyz, Panzees, Fish ´edz or whatever.. Even Beakiez! I should have a ´klaw for the grinning Tin ´edz tho.. Beret is green stuff and the empty shell casings are, were, green tac´d there. Glued now. Looks similar, is not..
Bull is getting a new buddy.. Maximork is pushed out of the way.. Both Big ´unz needs cow helmets..
And da boss!
I think I like it? I can see him barrell into a bunch of weedy gitz! Impale a couple on the ´ornz and bash the rest.. Maybe a bit too tough-looking for a Black orc Boss in Mordheim.. But that will scare the skumgrods?
Yeah, probably going for blacks, browns and so on, painting-wise.. Leather, black painted.. Narural fantasy colours.. Makes me feel as if I can go Medieval on the enemies asses, if it looks medieval! hehe.

I have a couple of extra Nobz and I´m about to make some more GorkaMorka Orks so.. A Shootier and More Dakka twin-shoota or something.. he has to take the empty casings on the belly tho.. plugged it with the extra mag, hehe.

Great stuff, looking forward to see them painted up. To this day, Mordheim is still my favourite game!

Thanks. Yeah, can´t wait to get some paint on them! Having major work done in my apartment, changing all pipes and whatnot.. So a bit messy and hard to find all the things.. But i can cut plastic in front of the computer.. A couple more weeks (though I have some paints with me here)
Assembled a few squigs this morning. A spare to use when I can buy a War dog.. hehe.
Big ´uns and a spare Boss for the Black orcs (so same head is not an issue). I used to have that Games Day 2000 Black orc Boss.. I miss it but this is very similar..
The Big ´uns are big and don´t really reflect their weedy stats! Better play them up to S4 etc soon!

Thanks. Had so much fun building Nobz-bodies i put together the rest just for fun.. No plan to use them for anything.. Ded ´ard and propa´! Gud fer opening Fish ´ed kanz.. Or anyfink!Ashork is almost at a table top-standard.. Used Skarsnik Green 8from a half dried up pot).. Eh.. No.. I´ll save that for weedy gobbos. Black, Whaagh Flesh, Warboss Green, if done nicely, is enough for me on ´ard Orcs. Old Ton Bitz on the casings.. Weak pigmets so disappeared under the wash.. So, need to improve on details. Kinda fine with normal boyz at this standard.. But I want my charactres a little bit better.. So will try to take my time.. This is a little rushed.. Kinda me in a nut shell..

Got a bunch of needed paints today so started on my squigs.. I did not get Evil Suns Scarlet.. Ugh.. Ah well.. I´ll mix some high-light colour.. Can´t wait.. Also got Vallejo Large Dry Green tufts. Not ideal for Mordheim, but looks good?

I think the tufts look superb!

Thanks. Bought another two blisters just now, more dried.. Will probably use those on my Black orc Warband.. And i quickly painted the squigs.. Thought I was in a rush and would get my Gobbos today.. I did not so could have taken my time.. Ah well.. They are playable..

Thanks. I did rush though so it is moreroughly where the colours should be, not super neat.. But I am not great.. So I am happy, for me it is pretty good! I did not get hold of Evil Suns Scarlet so mixed Khorne red and Wild Rider red 50/50 for the first layer.. Which is okay, I think. Will look pretty good on a half-decent base on a dark Mordheim-table.. Also got some more dried up grass of the same type today. So the Black orc Warband will probably get those instead.. A more Badlands-feel, I think..
