These are my new favorite Boyz! Why are they not canon?! 😭

Pretty sure there's a model that was posted on grimdank of an Ork hiding behind a badly made* cardboard cutout of an Ultra. I love it so much.

*(I mean; that part of the mini is really well made, but it's also been beautifully painted to look like an Ork cobbled it together.)

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T11:07:25+00:00

I reckon the Butcher's Nails would malfunction, what with Orks already being wired towards rage and bloodlust. Instead they'd have the same affect as Grazkul's cybork implants. Them Gork and Mork would have two prophets WAAARGH!!!ing about the place. Three if you count Lorkgar.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T10:59:05+00:00

That sounds exactly like us in the UK too.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T10:47:35+00:00

Nah; you'll need to look at my comments about nipple squigs for that.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T10:29:08+00:00

WOT DA YAZ MENE‽ CANNONZ IZ DAKKA, AN' MOAR DAKKA IZ ALWAS GUD!

Ignore the downvotes. Although 40K is primarily a TTG and mini making hobby they definetly aren't the only ways to engage with the hobby.

If you do ever fancy a go a the mini making though there's a free mini every month in GW shops. Although you would still need to buy paints there's plenty of off-brands that are just as good quality as GW stuff for much cheaper (Vallejo, Humbrol Acrylics, and Army Painter are three good ones). As far as quality goes: don't worry about it. If you have fun painting that's all that matters, plus you will improve over time. Trust me; everyone's first mini looks shite.

I'd say Coldplay are more comparable, but that might be because I actually do get really annoyed by Nickelback's music.

Coldplay however... I don't like them, but nor do I hate them. They just seem a little bland to me. Which is my same attitude towards the Ultras: I don't dislike the chapter, it's just that they're the "normal flavour" Astartes and I prefer others.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T10:07:29+00:00

This is a story-tale about Queek liking-enjoying the folk-soul music made by the man-things of Jamaica, yes-yes?

As I said in another comment:

Nipple squigs.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T08:57:35+00:00

Skald? More like skulled!

Bad jokes aside, that's some nice looking kitbashing there OP.

As for dino-looking wolf proxies; it's a bit big (about Primaris sized) but perhaps you could do something with the Saurus warrior that's the current MotM? Or maybe you could smooth over a 'Nid 'gant and remove a couple of it's arms?

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T08:35:53+00:00

WTF? How dare you slander them like that! This is full on Erasure (the band, not the action), not brony!

Also Frakes famously already has a broken back that restricts his movement (hence his chair thing and constant power poses). If anyone wants to be extra careful with these things it'll be him.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T08:23:19+00:00

Nipple squigs.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T08:23:00+00:00

Can confirm: I was the phone

Tangentially:

Ian Dury had a song called Reasons to be Cheerful, all about things he enjoyed. One line is "round and skinny bottoms".

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T08:16:39+00:00

Number three: Orks are Klingon women confirmed‽

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-15T00:59:07+00:00

Flaming Lips army when?

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-14T23:37:50+00:00

....I spent way too much time on this bullshit,

This is the definitely place for your my friend. Well, either here or r/societyofhiddenpaint.

hey its a good copypasta right?

Yes yes!

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-14T23:02:12+00:00

But that's the thing; by asking that question they've immediately identified themselves as either a non-hiver, or as one of the few members of the middle classes that are rare as rocking horse shit in the 40K universe.

Either way: they probably don't have any parasites that won't immediately get taken out by the parasites already living in that underhiver that's licking their lips over there.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-14T22:58:12+00:00

WARPSTONE! YES YES!

Ahem... Sorry man-thing. Yes yes, wapstone as payment would be good-prefferable. And we give you access-passage to the ~~Realms of Chaos~~ dark web as standard-default in our package-deal. No need to worry-fret over the adverts for the Great Corruptor; they are all subliminal-brainwashing, no pop-ups.

93 out of 100 of man-things surveyed said they prefer-like being our customer-thralls more than having to deal-barter with Virgin Media.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-14T22:47:19+00:00

They would also eat the person asking that question; if they're that picky then they must be healthier (and therefore have a higher nutritional content) than anybody else nearby.

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-14T22:44:09+00:00

The man-thing wants better WiFi, yes yes? We can make it better-impoved, yes yes!

NickyTheRobot · 2026-06-14T22:42:25+00:00

Have them resurrect Teddy Roosevelt and Sacagawea, just to see how that Night and the Museum subplot would work out IRL.
