Happy Orktober! An unexploded ork bomb is discovered by some Madboyz who bring it back to their camp and raise it as one of their own.
Ork Madboyz
It's Orktober madness! I finally finished my Madboyz that I started in 1990, with some additions that I picked up from Etsy this year.
The smaller boyz are the original metals, with a few Marauder brand Orks added in. Marauder was a miniatures company that had a partnership with Games Workshop, that was very short-lived, where they were producing Games Workshop compatible models, like several of the Orks above.
The bigger boyz I picked up on Etsy and are designed by an artist who goes by the name Trollett. They are making a lot of really fun, original, retro style Space Orks.
I started working on my Madboyz in 1990, but I also started getting into more competitive playing, and Madboyz were not a good addition to a competitive army. So they languished until I came back around to just having fun, that only took 34 years.
Since I finished the Madboyz project I was looking to finish something else and went looking for my bag of snotlings, the cheeky little fellow is one of them, and found more old madboyz from the 1990s and an old boy that I started in 1987. The old projects never seem to end, but at least I'm whittling them down. If you ever need any old ork arms I'm happy to drop some in an envelope as I've still got tons from the 1990s.
The young Blood Axe Nob thought that his paper on advanced infantry tactics had impressed the warboss as he was assigned a special unit to prove the merits of his tactics.
New year, old army, but still the best army. I finished painting up the last of my retro Madboyz.
Baking for markets and working at markets really cuts into my hobby time, however I have found that in the afternoons of market days business slows down a lot and I can get in some painting time while I'm working at the market. I'm finally working through my madboyz project from 1990 for Orktober.
