Painted up the new Big Mek model for my Snakebites army. This model was a ton of fun to work on, love all the exposed wires lol

Happy Orktober!

Another Orktober drawing. I’ve been working on my new Beast Boss model and wanted get an idea of how I want to do the colors. The model is super cool, but it has a lot of details that can get mixed up I think if there are too many different colors on it. I’m going to make a lot of the armor and weapons out of bone rather than metal and also add a dripping poison effect to the giant snake skull because I think it looks rad and it fits the Snakebites aesthetic. I should have the painted beast boss model done on my wargaming blog later this week.

The new Big Mek model is really awesome, just a big walking Swiss Army Knife! I'm finally playing Warhammer again next week so I'll see if I can paint him up before then.

Ya see, there’s two kinds’a Gitz in this world. Those with DAKKA and those that DIG!

Converted this lad recently, the torso is from Mozrog Skragbad, the legs are from the Painboss kit. Pistol and robot hand are from the Squighog Boyz kit. Cowboy hat was 3D printed. Greenstuff to blend them together, jewelry chain to hide my bad greenstuff skills. This dude was a blast to build and paint, I’m gonna run him as a Mekboy with Extra Kustom Mega Slugga, though he’s probably just going to shoot himself off the board knowing how ork shooting goes.

Happy Hobbying! <3

I forgot to mention I played my first game of 10th edition a few weeks ago. I had a lot of fun. 1000 points vs Necrons, my buddy and I were both there to roll dice and learn our updated armies so we didn't have any objectives.

My Gorkanaut got in a slug fest with the Silent King for 3 turns before dying. I don't think he did a single wound in the shooting phase.

My Beast Boss on Squigasaur tanked an insane amount of wounds and finished off the Silent King. He was then quickly gunned down by 60 gauss rifles.

My biggest takeaway was how awesome Flash Gitz are. Not to metachase or anything but I want to run 30 of them because firing 120 shots in the shooting phase is very funny...

Anyway I'm converting more Flash Gitz out of Nobz and a bunch of Ogryn Ripper guns I have. I'm also gonna need to get two more Trukkz for them.

One more Gorkamorka Necromunda vehicle, this will be for my Ork Goliath gang. I didn't really have a plan on how I wanted to convert this Kustom Boosta Blasta going in. I started by giving the driver a stub gun and quickly realized it wouldn't fit with the big turret in the back of the cab... so I removed the turret completely and added a mesh sunroof and finally a spoiler in the back. This vehicle may be light on weapons but it will be super fast if I can get all the upgrades I want for it.

I think the Boosta Blasta may be my favorite of the new Ork buggies, it's either this or the Scrapjet. It's a beautiful kit and very orky!
