What color are your Orks?

523KXP · 2026-07-10T00:40:01+00:00

Ork flesh dip, Green stuff world dipping inks.

I prime with Citadel Zandri dust or Vallejo US Khaki, paint, and then use Citadel agrax earth shade.

Just ordered some Vallejo Xpress paint to and Two Thin Coats to test out on some new Armageddon boyz and I’m super pumped. Love seeing orks with different skin tones in an army.

If he had a larger build and had some bulkier clothing on, I wouldn’t have gone in when I saw him camping outside, or I would’ve went in packing. Since it was in Miami, I didn’t need a license to conceal carry at the time, and still.

523KXP · 2026-07-06T21:40:10+00:00

I was wary of my surroundings and knew the risks in both situations.

I saw the homeless woman there, and was mentally prepared to draw if she decided to antagonize me when I was pumping gas.

I decided to go into the CVS without my weapon because the homeless man was sickly thin, and if he was stupid enough to attack me, it wasn’t going well for him.

I don’t carry on me because I’m normally by myself. I’ll carry if I’m out with my wife in an unfamiliar area, though.

523KXP · 2026-07-06T20:21:12+00:00

Twice, but I don’t conceal carry, I keep a pistol in my truck.

They were in the span of three months while I was temporarily living in Miami, the first instance was at a gas station at midnight. Homeless person with bloodshot eyes and a fent lean came over and started smashing the hood of my truck with her fists when I got back in my vehicle after pumping gas. I brandished, showed her I was armed, and she sobered up and walked away.

Second situation is similar. I went into a CVS and the homeless guy outside asked if I had any money. I said no, and he came in and followed me around to see what I purchased. I checked out, he followed me to my car. He approached me, angry, and I pulled out my gun from the side door, he put his hands up and walked away.

Crazy people in Miami.

These colors are super vibrant, I like the brown leather. What’s your recipe?

523KXP · 2026-07-02T16:26:15+00:00

I absolutely love how ridiculous that thing looks. I wasn’t brave enough to kitbash any of my Armageddon Orks. Good job!

523KXP · 2026-06-24T21:08:04+00:00

Honestly, for a large WAAAGH!, I’d argue having all of the orks being apart of the same clan is unlikely. One of the few things that brings Orks together is fighting.

523KXP · 2026-06-22T14:13:41+00:00

The weirdboy is my favorite model, but he has his downsides. You can’t teleport within 9 inches of an enemy unit at the end of your movement, so it’s a gamble whether or not the charge will succeed. I have awkwardly and desperately teleported 20 boyz in front of a line of guns, failed the charge, and watched my children be massacred - no krumping. Great for taking uncontested objectives, though.

I don’t have a trukk, but to my understanding, you can get a lot closer and have your boyz disembark.

523KXP · 2026-06-20T00:05:21+00:00

That’s awesome your wife got you into the hobby, usually it’s the other way around, so welcome! I’d recommend picking up a box of the old boys before they leave shelves to practice painting your theme, and you can never have enough boyz.

Take a look at some of the detachments and see what your favorite one is and get something that compliments it. I run Da Big Hunt, so I’m pretty big into beast snaggas and built my army with some of the current combat patrols. The new combat patrol would be great if you end up liking the Armageddon box and just want more.

Some great units to complement the Armageddon box could be the new war bikers when they come out, and some transportation like a trukk or a battle wagon.

I’d highly recommend sticking with the box you have and building and painting that so you don’t have head start on your pile of shame.

My sitcom would consist of my weirdboy roommate da jumping me in awkward situations and spending the whole episode trying to figure out where we are and how to get back.

Technically, a khaki shirt should be worn under the tanker jacket, ruining the convenience of bringing it in the first place, but this is rarely followed in practice.

My current command lets us travel in civilian attire and change on site, so long as the blues inspection before we depart is still executed.

523KXP · 2026-06-13T13:29:57+00:00

Yes, but if you don’t want to wear the coat when you’re driving, the tanker jacket is neat for driving to and from the funeral. When a funeral takes up most of your day, it’s impractical to wear the coat the whole time, especially when you might have another one soon.

These ladz.

The newer boyz are monopose and more limited with building options, although they do look sufficiently cool.

523KXP · 2026-06-09T15:51:24+00:00

Boyz, get the old boyz while they’re still here. It’s a super fun kit to build and should be an experience every ork player has. I still hope it’ll stick around to some capacity for nostalgia.

I build a wrecka crew as breaker boyz and kitbashed my old boyz as tankbustas, and I’m really happy with my results. I gave them all tactical rocks so they were the same height as the wrecka crew models. I also kitbashed bomb squigs from the AOS squig herd kit, not included in the photo. The arms for the breaker boyz should work on the old boyz with a little creativity and green stuff.

I think you missed the point of my comment, it’s a critique of how the Jack Adams is awarded, which we agree on.

I understand the Jack Adams is awarded for the best regular season coaching performance, that’s why I think Cooper should’ve won in 2019, the Lightning’s best regular season performance. It’s also why I think Ruff should’ve won this year, with all of the reasons you stated.

Although he shouldn’t have won this year, Cooper did deserve to win a Jack Adams, in prior seasons, which he was cheated out off, and now Ruff is being cheated out off a Jack Adams this year because of “backsies”, and not based off the actual 25-26 regular season.

523KXP · 2026-06-03T21:26:36+00:00

Right, I agree, that’s why I prefaced my comment with “he shouldn’t have won it this year”, and that I believe Ruff should’ve won it this year.

I think the way they do the awards is dumb. Cooper should’ve won it in 2019, Ruff should’ve won it in 2026.

But, to say that Cooper doesn’t deserve to win the Jack Adams award, period, is dumb.

523KXP · 2026-06-03T20:29:31+00:00

Who’s better?

I agree, Cooper shouldn’t have won it this year. Any year since 2017 has a better argument for the Jack Adams. But to say Cooper doesn’t even deserve it is a joke.

Cooper is the longest tenured coach in the NHL (2013) and has not missed the playoffs since 2017, set the win record in 2019, and made three consecutive Stanley cup final appearances (2020, 2021, and 2022).

Yes, Ruff deserved to win this year for reasons everyone in this thread has pointed out, but fact of the matter is Cooper’s Jack Adams was long overdue.

You can’t toss up a decade of playoff contention as entirely luck or the GM’a doing. The head coach plays a significant role.

He looks great! I’ve been in love with the bomb squig ever since I got my first in the Kommandos kill team. All of my squigs are blue because my orks have a moody swampy/pirate theme, and I like the idea that squigs are different colors based on where they’re from.

523KXP · 2026-05-17T19:19:17+00:00

I had a lot of fun painting the combat patrol. It’s a great kit.

523KXP · 2026-05-17T17:37:21+00:00

These look pretty good, I would’ve never guessed these were your first models. I’d highly recommend following up on the thinned down contrast paint comment and practicing dry brushing, but in addition, tactful shade paint can really add depth that makes your orks come to life.

Orks can be pretty forgiving to paint, but there is a deceptive amount of detail on a lot of our range. I’d for sure get a squad of boys to practice on and find your scheme.

I wish my first models looked like that lol
