A pool of Orks

 While I'm still building a couple of Warlord Titans (which is taking quite some time), I've been having a look at what else do I have on the queue. Wow. The things I still have. After crying in the shower for a few days, I realised I had to pick something. One clear rule: when in doubt, go for Orks. You can never be disappointed with Orks.

I have a ridiculous amount of metal Orks from the RT-2nd Ed times. In fact, when tried to get them all along I realised it was going to be difficult to just separate them into mobs. So I took the easiest solution. Just start painting and I'll make the decision when I have them finished😄

I started with some basic RTO2 Orks. I've always loved these models, and have always provided some fun times. I had painted some of them before. Now I had a few painted models, some others untouched and a few kind of in the middle of the process. Time to make this bunch of minis work!

I guess there's little to say when it comes to these. You can only rejoice in the sculpts of the old times and the sweet silliness they instil. Once again I'm not making them into any specific Ork Clan, I simply let myself go and see what happened. This is the result:

He insists in calling himself Da Kommizar, but no one really pays him any attention

I added some skin variety, asusual. I really find it more attractive than the ubiquitous only tone of green. When doing this, I first paint the skin (at least the first layer), and then I decide the rest of the colours depending on that. Not very scientific, but hey, it works for me.

I've never known the tactical role of the drummer, but it's so cool I have to go with it

I may have inadvertedly made a Bretonnian livery

I also have never known what the helmet rattle is. Ultramarine maracas!

Well, I have 16 Orks for the moment! I can make a mob with them, but I think I'll be adding a few blokes more

Finally! A backdrop!

 Right, I recently received a backdrop book by Jon Hodgson, from his latest KS campaign. You can find them all here, go have a look at them! They are wonderful, I may even get another one!

Next time I'm confident I'll be able to bring the two Warlords. Coming soon!
