Name: reallifejon / Da Green Despot
Evolution: I've been playing 40K since Rogue Trader and collecting Orks since 2nd Ed. Someone had to to play the bad guys; you can't all play marines! But I've loved them dearly. I still refer to 'Ere We Go and Freebooterz when designing armies, units and background.
Da Waagh: My orks are divided into clan armies. When they're 'done', the Goffs, Blood Axes and Bad Moons should be playable on their own, or with limited support from units from other clans. The Evil Sunz and Snakebites can't really be played on their own. The Death skulls don't have much at the moment, but will do when they're done.
What follows are my clan armies.
Units in
green are complete, or almost complete.
Units in white are in lots of bits / on the sprues.
Units in
red are planned only.
After the unit's name, I'll put in brackets what it counts as, if it's not obvious.
Following each list are some painting and modelling notes.
Edit: Now I have some photos! Underneith the relevant units, I've put up a photo showing not the whole unit in most cases, but a sample of boys from the unit. Typically a nob, some regular boys and some special weapons. Note that several of my mobs still have burnas that will need to be changed out for rokkit launchas or big shootas.
Another Edit: Now I have a battle report!
