WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

In honor of the ending of my favorite TV trio, i am happy to introduce the first vehicle of my WAAAAAAAAAGH GEAR ork army

Several vehicles and characters will be based on the TV series Top Gear and The Grand Tour.

Stay tuned!

The Kustom Boosta Blasta is almost ready to join the speed waaaaagh. 3 more bikes to do and I’ve done the first 500pts

Also, I was gonna wait for Speed Freeks to get into orks, but tbh a trukk fulla burna boyz and a dakkajet will DEFINITELY have a place in Waaaaagh! Yoomongous.

Ah yes; good old Tuska Daemonkilla.

Let me tell you about Wazdakka Gutsmek, a prominent Mekboy, and Warlord of an Evil Sunz klan. (I think he might be dead now, no rules for him in the latest editions, but GW might have just forgotten about him)

This Boss leads a Speed WAAAAAGH; a massive Ork crusade focussed on going as FAST AS POSSIBLE. This leads to vehicles getting created such as Shokkjump Dragstas, which go so fast as to pull a Back To The Future and teleport around the battlefield, and Megatrakk Scrapjets, which are essentially jets on wheels and tracks. His bike is known as the ‘Bike of the Aporkalypse’ and it’s gun can destroy tanks.

Regardless, Gutsmek was a biker, and he LOVED a good scrap, so he decided to up and krump the BIGGEST thing he could find.

On one of the worlds they encountered, the Imperium of Man had a Titan Legion, and in particular, an incredibly powerful Warlord Titan. A massive walker standing around 120 meters tall, and it was massacring his forces.

Taking it into his own hands, he rode his bike up onto a mesa, and ramped INTO the Titan’s cockpit, with the energy shield igniting him and his bike, and he slew the princeps and his crew in mere seconds, before ramping back out again. In the rush of wind he was put out, but the crew’s skulls were set ablaze themselves, and they’re STILL on fire decades later.

Warhammer 40k orks are just a shitpost. Reading up on the lore of them is a true test because they’re so absurd you cant tel the dufference between theory and actual canon.

Shit i’ve read.

-every one possesses a form of psychic willpower that affects reality.

-technically could not be killed, but a human taunting them described how he would kill them so they became killable.

-they believe the color red increases speed so it does, including their enemies ships.

-they believe the color yellow makes explosions more powerful, so it does.

- they believe the color purple is stealthy so anything purple that they see is now invisible.

-they have windows on their spaceships to do drive-by’s because they dont know theres no air to breathe in space.

-their guns dont actually have any proper functioning parts. But since they believe its a gun, its now a gun.

-an out of ammo imperium squad once used empty guns to kill orks by shouting “bang” and since the orks didnt know they were empty it still killed them.

And now my personal favorite.

-while the emperor is believed to be kept alive by continuous sacrifices of his own techpriests. It is believed that the only reason the emperor is still alive is because the orks believe he is alive.

I cant tell what is true and what is made up because it all reads like that.

Let there be priming weather!

So finally the weather has started to be in my favor and I can get some spray priming done outside. Actually seeing as how we have large portions of the garage emptied out the weather will soon no longer be a factor as I can just prime in there out of the wind and rain.

This is good news as like everyone one else, all I have been hearing about are these new contrast paints. Unlike poor Chapter Master Valrak my painting schemes (not like I have any) are not dependent on GW’s glazes and coloured primers so any colours that might be going away soon are not that big of a concern to me.

Now I do want to get a few things out of the way. 

Yes this blog has been quite of late. I truthfully haven’t been working on anything lately I shelved a bunch of things to get them off my desk as I was not making any progress with them, this includes my one Chaos knight that was being over taken by plants, the details on were just not coming together on anything.

The result of this is that I have been able to start on some newer kits that I had been ignoring well I didn’t work on other things. 

Things we are either looking forward to or will be working on “soon”.

Contrast Paints (obviously) I am planning on getting then entire thirty colour range as from the moment I saw them announced I wanted to try colour shifting with them. As we know they are made to be use with contrast primers which are basically just white and grey, and that they are somewhere in between a glaze and a proper paint. IF you haven’t seen it  check out this video by Pete the Wargamer where he experiments with the contrasts over a metallic base.

The fact that you can now do a quick Alpha Legion legion paint in two steps in great as it was taking me 4-5 steps to get similar effect using Vallejo’s Blue Metallic and Biel-Tan green shade over a black base. Unfortunately I have a very large number of classic marines that need to become sons of the hydra and it was taking a longer time to paint them then I was liking. Actually I have a picture it seems.

I really want to see how the contrast paints work with opposing colours, things like bright reds and yellows with darker blues and purples. Sadly I don’t have a picture but my HH Ahriman was based in a red and then shaded and worked with thousand sons and ahriman blue on the limbs to show him changing over to the post heresy colours.

Speed WAAAAAGH!!!! So I did buy the speed freeks box when it came out, but other then priming them with leadbelcher and doing a few red panels I didn’t get very far with them as I bought it at the same time as my Stompa and Renegade Knight box.  My Speed Waaagh currently sits at one Giant Meka-boy, the Stompa, two classic GorkaMorka trakks (they actually came from the GM box when the game was released), the two buggies from the SF box, 6 bikers, and a full dozen of the plastic dethkopters. I just happened to get 9 unpainted one day at my local shop recently. Unfortunately the three DK I already had no longer had flying bases so since I didn’t think I would be getting more I put them on 60mm round bases and have them flying over debris. Now unless I wanted to be a massive ass having 12 60mm round bases moving in a single squad might be a bit much. So I might need to put them onto some oval bases or get a lot more  junk bits for the rest of the squad to fly over.

New Paints, at christmas I added a cheap airbrush to my tools and since them have been playing with various acrylic inks. I highly recommend the Liquitex range but I also suggest if you do make sure to get an airbrush that is easy to clean as I seem to spend as much time cleaning my airbrush as I do using it.

I need to see about ordering paint sets from some of the other companies as I am lacking in a seriously vibrant green. I keep seeing people get some really crazy bright greens and nothing I have seems to be the right base green to mix that way. I think it might be one of the P3 greens,

Necromunda, currently on the work table are 20 gangers to proxy various cultists. They are the main reason I need the green actually.

Up next is either my WAAAGH or since I found them my classic Flesh Hounds. I currently have two variations on Flesh Hounds and if I can get some cash rounded up there is 3 boxes of them at the local shop plus a box of Wraith and Glory. 

I think that is everything.

I don’t expect this blog to suddenly become very active but now that the weather is in the priming temperatures again I can get back to painting.

TIL: YOU can’t reblog posts if OP or someone blocked you. Fucking babies.

Okay first off. Orkz are fungus. They reproduce by the means of spores. Like fungus do. Cause that is how fungus works. Science is great isn’t it? 🍄 fungus are practically genderless and asexual. Meaning they reproduce without needing the help of a partner.

Secondly, Orkz don’t give a single flying fuck about what’s in their pants. They don’t give a single flying fuck about gender at all please stop with this gender politics shit on every damn thing. All Orkz care about is fighting and winning. They’re more worried about Gorka Morka and building weapons with random shit they have put together. Orkz care about driving at high speeds in their crazy vehicles and WAAAAAGH! “Boyz” is just some Orky term for Orks. Like guardsmen are called…guardsmen. (I.e Mech Boy, Weird Boy, etc.)

Thirdly, the Orkz were just made for comedic relief. They’re not really meant to be taken seriously…but they can kick ass if you use them right.

Feel free to throw your buzzwords at me.

Link- *Run's up at top speed and throws you over his shoulder*

“WAAAAAGH?! OW! Hey, what was that for?!” Pit cried in indignation, having landed flat on his back (and thankfully on the grass he’d been standing on earlier).

So this will be the last model I finish in 2018...

And this will in all likelyhood be the first model I finish in 2019

The Speed Waaaaagh will grow through 2019!

Wishing you all the best for 2019!
