This is the first of many pictures of my Ork army or if I am entirely truthfully my adopted Ork army, back when I was looking to get back into 40K after what seems like a 10 year break I picked up Black Reach and swapped all the Ork for Space Marines and bought a few tanks for them. After only a few games I didnt enjoy them at all, I found them to be too rigid in what I could do with them so I was contacted by a friend (Bradimus Prime from the Space Wolves Blog)  who had a ton of Orkz he had built up since 4th editon was in its twlight years. The quality of the models varied alot from some that required zero effort to correct to some I had to really strip down to make them look nice. Bitching aside the army was unpainted save a small 10 man squad (or mob if I use the correct terminology) which was painted in a very simple scheme, It was basically Thraka Green over a black undercoat with Mecharite Red armour and Bolt Gun Metal weapons all with a black wash. I hadnt paint anything in years and was scared of making a hash of it all so I chose to stay with this scheme and make it my own.

The model on the left is the orignal work of Mr Prime himself and the one of the right is my 'copy' of it and I like how it turned out. I know it looks terrible, theres a ton of black thats unpainted and the base isnt finished but after been scared to pick up a brush again I think I am really happy with the result and it meant that I could do the second goal of starting 40K again, and that was going to tournaments. So I have worked hard to get the 2000+ points of Orkz painted and while I'm happy I know the army is far from finished and someday I need to go back and finish this army.
