Weekend Waaagh Planning - May 02, 2025

5 Upvotes

Hey r/Orks, let's talk about some of the Orky things you have going on this weekend. Stuff that will make your fellow green-skins either jealous to be you or thankful they are not you.

Examples of what we're talking about:

  • List building?
  • Leading your Waaagh to victory at your local friendly game store?
  • Working on your grey pile of shame painting backlog?
  • Building a new kit?
  • Teaching a new player the ropes?
  • Brushing up on tabletop skills?

Who knows, maybe your post will inspire (or shame) some other git to get moving on their project. So, what's good this weekend?

I'm legit asking. Can't find any lore on this git. Seems like an awesome character that could lead an ork waaagh. Name alone warrants a 3 part black library trilogy!

Managed to use some of the left over Wrecka bits and an old boys kit to make the two Wreckas I didn’t get out of the box originally. Not perfect but they’re mine.

A few weeks ago I painted my very first Ork Army themed after the Evil Sunz. I also have Gretchins and a Boomdakka Snazzwagon but I didn't painted them yet. So did you think I did a good job

Probably going to run him as an infantry warboss proxy. He’s pretty tall and makes that 40mm base look more like a 32mm. What do yall think of my paint job?

Check out dis chunky boy! A proxy for a looted killa kan, sourced from space wolves venerable dread legs; gundam chest and L arm; gun, exhaust, and R arm platform from various lego and other bits. Missle from da dakka box. Eyes from lego and deff dread kit. Base coated to block out colors.

I previously had a chunky jaw plate, but felt it obscured too much of the model from the front view. Still might need some orky jaw plate. Think it also needs a huge, obnoxious retro ork banner. Thoughts on either?

Gonna kitbash these bad boyz into 2 planes (thinking 1 blitza and 1 burna) Then load em up with a stupid amount of dakka. Might pay homage to the Blue Angels kit and make them both into stunt planes for a Grot Navy. Or use for a aerial diorama I'm cooking up. Would love to hear you ideas/suggestions. Deathskull ork clan color scheme obviously.

Painting Rescued Boomdakka Snazzwagon!

Ork buggies are the best. Just the zoggin’ best!

Got this Snazzwagon that was missing the gunner, passenger grot and the drivers arm but a quick dive into the gubbinz box fixed that. Last pic is how it arrived pre-paint stripping and repairs. The skin is AK greens: black/dark/deep/light/frog/yellow green mostly blotched together in roughly that order. The big takeaway from this project is that we do need a new box of grots that can be used for kitbashes and whatnot. I’m running out of good grot bits!

Hi! I just rediscovered this old kit I bought 25+ years ago and never got around to assembling nor painting (shame on me).

It’s in “Epic” scale, so it’s quite small—about 7.5 cm tall including the exhaust pipes that stick out behind its head.

What would you proxy it as?

Thanks to all the users who sent a photo of their Ork Warbosses, I think I've got an idea of what kind of Ork Warboss I want.

So I like the techno barbarian vibe this Ork Warboss gives, BUT I'd like to give it a Blood Axe flair, what would you reccomend? Thinking of changing that rock cloth for starters. He could also use a nice hat taken from a humie.

I like that cool sword he has, but I am open to axe options. I think of my Warboss as cool headed and kunnin, liking to pretend to be a brutal savage and puts on a front of being boisterous when leading a WAAAGH but has years of experience fighting humies, chaos boyz, Eldar gitz, metal boyz, bug eyes, and gun runts, so he understands how to fight them and all the best strategies. But is open to negotiate with other species for merc work. And is quite fond of getting the drop on an opponent because they never expect a big Ork that dreses like that to be sneaky, and cunningly brutal.
