I like this army - looking forward to seeing more of it. The old WFB Orc Boyz kit, while still decent, was a bit dated. The conversions you've made, particularly from the 40k Orks, look more intimidating.

Thanks. I have started to put texture paint on da boyz.. Will probably start painting them - but then, I want to kinda assemble all I got.. But i have not picked up those squigs and trolls yet.. And I need bases.. So i should probbaly just prime and start painting those boyz! And i really like those Orc Warriors, circa 2000 from Brian nelson. They are.. Way high on my fav list. It´s the poses and the facial expressions and so on.. But i also like konverting 40k Nobz into bosses and other characters.. Picking up a load of paints too, for the squigs and trolls.. That Night goblin bigboss, anyone put him ona 20mm square base? The one in the starter set?

Thanks mate.. Just primed the Orc boyz plus the Orc BSB and Shamn.. But they are just black so.. When it looks more interesting?
Right, the Bigboss does? Cool! Don´t really need him but good to know, thanks! Is he from 8th Ed or Age of Trash?

It has begun.. Deep in Da badlands a new Whaaagh! is taking shape.. Slowly.. IMG_1137 by Tobias Björkman, on Flickr The characters... IMG_1138 by Tobias Björkman, on Flickr But I had forgot the Grand Canyon-butt crack on the pig-boss... I need to fill that..! I´ll finish his priming off after that. IMG_1136 by Tobias Björkman, on Flickr But I should really paint my Black orc BB-team first?

Looking like a good start!
Definitely fill that butt crack - you can easily just brush some black over it once you've filled and sanded it!
What colour scheme are you going for (except for the obvious GREEEEEEN!)

Thanks. I used some tamiya-filler, but was a bit tricky to get it nciely just where it was needed. Re-sprayed it too, but not looked if i need to file more.. Hehe.. I think I´ll do like my Mordheim orcs, that´s brown - I used Morfang brown, vallejo Chocolate brown and English uniform? I need to look. Plus Khorne Red as their thing. I might skip the khorne Red and inclue more black. So Black and some various browns, with the Khorne Red if i feel it is needed - and I have a feeling i need that "flavour" to make them my Whaagh? And i guess I need Boar Boyz for that dude? I wish I could get normal ones easy, but i suspect I will have to get the Savage ones.. I disliked the older Savage Orcs more.. but never beena huge fan. Though I might be able to live, using the current nes..

I think the old boar boys come up semi regularly on eBay for not-so-bad prices.
Also check out Troll Trader if you haven't already, a gold mine of classic models!

Not been productive this Autumn. Not with O&Gs anyways.. I have done some aircraft.. But i speed-painted my ten Squigs.. it bugged me I stripped those five for Mordheim and never repainted them all.. But now i can use them for my Orc mob.. :9 On square bases but that is ok. Not got the next ten yet - but I need to. And then do the handlers.. Great to confirm that those new plastic Squigs fit nicely on 20mm squares, I'm intending to get one or two boxes of those for my own Squig Herd eventually.

Oh yeah it can be done! But not all can be ebside eaxch others, as I modelled them. I did not know when these were relased, thought they were 8th Ed until someone here told me so was never too bothered until I started to assemble, hehe..
You see that I put a few sideways, like the grinning one with the horn.. he is a little too wide otherwise, but it can be done!

Next up - 20 spear Orcs.. I had to kitbash a musician and standard bearer from spare Black Orc bitz and there are three at the back with 2 choppas.. But that´s alright.. Will do their shiel arms last. Washed the bases with Devlan/Agrax prior to the dry brushing.. Won´t do that again, but I will leave it here..
