As mentioned yesterday, we've been using King Fluff's Ork codex, which has the option for Brutes - huge jacked-up monsters! This are 3D printed, and then modified with some GW jaws. The one with a 'normal' arm, suffered a misprint, and had to have an arm reprinted and attached, hence it looks a little off. The before shots are here: http://fortwargame.blogspot.com/2021/12/orks-for-30k-part-4.html
Today was my first day at King Fluff's Xenocide II event, and I even managed a win with my Orks. We're using King Fluff's own rules for the Xenos, but the green skins are tougher than in 40k so it's a blast to play them. To rtoating things around, I also needed an Imperial force, so I spent the last week finishing up some models, one of which was this 3D printed, track over Rhino.
I recently ordered some bits from Spellcrow, and as ever got a fantastic bags of extras. These were in it, which when combined with some printed legs gave me a kneeling Beebop and Rocksteady looking Orks. They're awaiting arms and the rest of my Punk styled mob to go and kick TMNT butt.
Some American Civil War Orks - kitbashed, and 5 more to follow when I get some more bits 3D printed.
Sadly these aren't in 40k any more, so they're just Choppa boyz now. These are obviously a mix of a load of different bits, but I assembled them just to help clear the large plastic tub of Ork shame...
I've been slapping paint on my 'Eavy Gun for our 30k event. Still lots to do, but I found a use for some old .22 casings I've had knocking about - spent artillery shells.
Another Ork that I built the other week - several leftovers from GW, Foxbox and old Kromlech. I think he needs to go on a 40mm now for a Big Mek, so I'll need to either print him a base expander, or make him the Nob for a unit of Mecha-Orks..
A little update on the old Space Crusade Dreadnought #2. I've now painted the body and base, weapons to follow.
I made this Ork the other day from a mixture of GW, Fox Box and 3d printed parts. I modelled him (as a Mek) as it reminded me of one of the first White Dwarf magazines that I owned (#119), where some similar styled Orks were on the cover.

I've managed to catch COVID again - so we're isolating, without lunches in my case because Tesco delivery substituted out all the things I needed for my lunches - oh well! I've had 3 jabs, so this is not as bad as it could have been, but I have on-off flu symptoms and I'm just totally bereft of any energy,
Anyway, when I wasn't feeling like moving was too much of a hard thing - I took this, progress shot on my two Slasha Gargants (one has only half a body - not shown here so far). The half body suffered a major print failure, so is being cut and shut with a good bit from a reprint. As if all this wasn't challenge enough, my Anycubic Photon Mono has suffered a screen failure, so I've repaired the old Photon and I'm having to use that for some bits for the Hueys.
