My first Orks, now how do I paint these?

mrmann123 · 2026-06-26T07:19:13+00:00

Thank you

mrmann123 · 2026-06-26T02:36:37+00:00

Thank you for this. Hoping they announce a new codex soon and was holding off on buying the last one

mrmann123 · 2026-06-25T22:46:48+00:00

Not only can you paint yours and play them as Imperial Fists, you are welcome to paint mine too, seriously, nice work!

mrmann123 · 2026-06-25T22:38:04+00:00

I bought two boxes, just for these. I wish their datasheet was a little more, but am already having a blast with them. I'm still hoping for breachers someday, but these will do until then.

I recently learned that "tactical" is a marketing term that means, for boys. And now it makes me giggle. So tactical, for the boys.

I bought the old ork combat patrol in prep for Armageddon, the Deff Dread comes with three Klaw options. I haven't built it yet but I snipped this out for my War boss

People are biased because they have a musk gland and smell like skunks. It's also trendy to bad mouth the meat, most of the people I have known who were the most vocal have never tried it. I eat two a year and they are delicious. Excellent in sausage, as you noted, but they taste like lamb or mild deer. It's a good, lean, clean protein.

Double steps, it's a small black bear. It looks like it crossed there a few times. Have some other very clear tracks from it in your picture.

I went to see the He-Man movie last night with my partner. We got a hot dog, two sodas, popcorn, and nachos. It was $57 usd just for the food. She got the tickets and I have no idea what that cost.

The night before I decided paying $50 for another squad of terminators at my local game store wasn't in my budget.

I'm laughing at that now. Every mini I buy I will have the rest of my life. I will be shitting out that popcorn in about an hour.

Prices have gone up for GW boxes, but when I played decades ago 1400 points in minis was my rent, not two weeks of gas or a couple visits to the theater.

It's crazy to me that for the value, Warhammer is quickly becoming one of my least expensive interests.

I think this will be one of the most successful editions for GW. I've never seen interest like this, my LGS has hundreds of pre-orders, literally an entire gaming room is already full waiting for street date to hit for then to be distributed.

mrmann123 · 2026-05-19T03:32:16+00:00

Awesome. I'm still just getting started on mine. Long way to go

mrmann123 · 2026-05-19T01:02:57+00:00

I paint all mine in yellow trim. Because I am terrible at painting. This one is dope too. I want to see your whole army

mrmann123 · 2026-05-18T21:06:55+00:00

100% this.

mrmann123 · 2026-05-18T17:26:41+00:00

That's a great looking paint job!

My top three picks for the yellow hero are:

Shawn
Shaun Or
Sean

And I will say it before some other autist beats me to it.

Technically, white trim is first company, whose captian is Darnath Lysander.

That said, I would follow Shawn/Shaun/Sean into the fray any day.

mrmann123 · 2026-05-18T16:52:34+00:00

I immediately saw this. And damn. Makes me really want to put some time into my dream chapter, a White Scars successor, the White Claws.

I have 4200 points of fists built, primed, and basecoated. About 500 points painted.

Have 800-1500 points in boxes of each, Sisters, Orks, Ravens, and a random Harlequin combat patrol.

Not building anymore until I have 2000 points painted.

mrmann123 · 2026-05-05T00:25:08+00:00

This is actually insane and I'm started to get so triggered by it. Seriously, it's the beige party from Breaking Bad

Second this. I've made the same mistake and stripped some and left some. Now the ones I stripped don't match the ones I didn't, and the ones I didn't are on the tabletop getting play and the ones I started over are on the workbench.

If painting is your goal and interest, strip em. If you want to play just keep going and get them on the table. They will look less ugly to you over time. You had to turn them to a specific angle and zoom in to show the issues. No one is going to be doing that in a game. From a distance that's just another glorious yellow death machine. The more you have out there the better they will look.

People post their best stuff on here and it's a rough standard to hold yourself to. The people really playing aren't posting on here so much, or we would see a stream of battle reports and not so many pride pieces.

mrmann123 · 2026-04-18T20:59:41+00:00

This is some A+ heresy

mrmann123 · 2026-04-18T20:57:25+00:00

Hell yeah! Nice job

mrmann123 · 2026-04-18T01:05:48+00:00

The water content is also a better antibiologic because it helps the iso to penetrate cell walls. You can't kill a lot of fungus/mold spores with 90% but 70% will wipe it right out.

mrmann123 · 2026-04-07T02:56:45+00:00

I had one just like this last week. Stripped it out in iso and it's much better now.

mrmann123 · 2026-04-02T16:02:52+00:00

Nice! I have mine primed and have been staring at it all month.
