My Ork Squad is going to have a swampy/bayou and voodoo theme to it. Making generous use of Malifaux bases for the Officers, and a more back-to-nature paint scheme. Meet da boyz:

The top Ork, Klaw Daddy (Nob):


His right-hand man, er, Ork, Doktor Hoodoo and Big Chief (Wyrdboy & Grot Battery):


Loup Garu and Roux Garu, the `Ard Boy Brothers:


The sneaky git with a shruken `ead for a club, Gator (Sneaky Boss):


Gator's boys, Bubba and Spike with counts-as shootas (Kommandos):


Lastly, Pigdok Peirre with his `slicey `ealing tool (Painboy):


The Kommandos were my "test bed" for the color scheme I want to use; the Ork armies most commonly played in my area FLGSes are all dark green skin, rusty steel, black clothes and, of course, red paint. They look good, but I wanted to play up my Krewe's swampy home, semi-feral nature, and generally go for a more Snakebite look. Hence, the brighter hew for the skin (Camo Green, IIRC), more light to middle hew earth-tones for leather and wood, and (shockingly to some) very bright whites. In fact, I might just try to avoid those sterotypical Ork colors of red, yellow, blue, and black altogether!

Sorry about some of the pics, I cannot seem to get some minis into focus.

I have another six or so Boyz, a Big Shoota, and a Burna on the bench... but they were just plain assemblies, straight out of the box. Nothing worth sharing on the internet, and they won't be in my starting squad anyway.

Ish

Nice work! I like what you have done so far.

nice.....where did you get the grot mini from?

Its a WHFB Goblin Shaman from the hoary old days of the second or third edition of that game; Forest Goblins, I think, the top half of his staff is now my Wyrdboy's magic wand/beatin' stick.

I plan to paint him up like a Madri Gras Indian.

HAHAH!!! Great models man! heheh... " `slicey `ealing tool" priceless! Love the bases, and the motif is coming out nicely cohesive!

Very cool looking orks, greenskins have always been a favorite of mine.

i love dok hoodoos pose.. its expressive and almost as if hes getting ready to spit out some of his mumbo jumbo

His pose makes him a favorite of mine to... I'm not sure if he's just yelling an old fashioned "Waagh," castng some Mumbo Jumbo, or getting ready to upchuck some Spicy Gumbo...

Plus, spider-squig topped beatin' stick.

Spider-Squig! Spider-Squig Does whatever a Spider-Squig does...
