I set a goal at the beginning of the month, and I’ve been kicking and screaming against it ever since. I wanted to get the rest of the Orks from the Warhammer 40k Armageddon Launch Box finished, and what better motivation than the big, rampaging annual tradition of Orktober?
My primary goal was to get the rest of the infantry (Boyz squads are already done) and command done by the end of the month, with a bonus-points awarded if the two vehicles manage to get finished along the way. I’m happy to say that the primary goal has been crossed off the list!
Gretchen Infantry
I’m not sure how they operate without a handler, but the 10 sneaky gits in the launch box came along pretty well! I struggle with little guys because I want to go all out on them, but they don’t need much to reach a good tabletop standard.
Painboy
He’s a creepy fellow, and his assistant grot really ads a lot to the fun! I spent a little extra time getting fresh and old blood on his smock for a little contrast pop with the green.
Bannernob
I painted the whole army with a mild pirate theme, and wanted this guy to stand out a little more, hence the vivid pink jersey.
Weirdboy
Probably my favorite model in the box, I love how the scenic part of the base looks like his psychic onslaught is just warping the hell out of the ground he’s standing on. I might make his eyes a little freakier, but for now? He’s good.
Warboss
He’s freaking huge. And such a cool sculpt. I put a lot of rust on the command models, just to make them look like they’ve been hauling that gear about for a while. I went ahead and made his look positively corroded. I’m really happy with the result!
I just realized that I forgot to photograph the Big Boss, so I’ll get him posted up tomorrow, possibly with the Wartrack and Big Mek Dakkarig! Happy Orktober, everyone!
