Scruggins Waaaaaaaagh!

Hi all! , ive been an on and off hobbyist for a fair while but work/ study/travel has got in the way of ever painting a full army.

Recently my local Games Workshop ( Parramatta, Sydney, Australia) started an Army Builder Challenge ( 750 points in a month) so i entered to try and get myself to work on a fully painted army for a change. The first 750 points is now complete and i am set to start work on another 750 points for April's Army Builder Challenge.

Army is as follows
Big Boss
Shaman
25 orc boyz, spears, shields, full command 235pts
21 orc boyz, shields, full command 182pts
Boar Chariot 85pts
Doom Diver 80pts

First up an Army Wide shot :



As you will notice the bases are not done, as i went into store today for some advice on colours, i had browns and so on at home but these were too similar to the cloth colours i had chosen. The new texture paints look alright though - there was a desert one and then a drybrush paint that worked really well together so i am waiting to get my hands on those

The doom diver up the back is a converted Ogre Kingdoms Scraplauncher

Everything else is straight out of the box and assembled.

heres a closer of the doom diver for anyone curious



please leave any comments and criticisms.

I know my banners are shoddy at the moment. At first i planned to do something cool then went hey their just orcs but i see them and just want to do better.

Welcome to da-warpath. Nice scrap launcher/doom diver by the way.

Nice army!

Although your movement trays are a bit to high for my liking.
Looks a bit like the Orcs are playing in a sandbox.

But perhaps some paint on these will help here


Anyway, I like the purple color of the army.
Always nice for an army to have a splash color to bind them all together.

Thanks for the comments. yeah these were just temporaries for a tournament awhile ago. Keep meaning to get them sanded down to base high. i agree paint will help alot.

working on 70 night goblins + a shaman, 6 wolf chariots ( from tomb kings chariots) 10 wolf riders and 2 spear chukkas as my next 750 points. shall look even cooler soon. But i dread the time it will take to churn out those gobbos.

Got the 70 night goblins and shaman done. will get photos of these up in the next day or two.

Changed my mind on the rest of the list to add more orcs to my units, rounding the long choppas off to 40, and the choppas and shields to 30 models strong

WAAGH!

Welcome to Da Warpath, Scruggin! That's some good stuff man, especially the doomdiver is awesome! Really badass.

Looking forward to the next batch of stuff.

Welcome here The doom diver is a pretty clever idea, I really like it ^^ The borders of the trays are a bit high for my tastes :S Looking forward for more models

Good stuff, I really like the doom diver idea!

Wazoo

That's a very cool mangler! Nice job.

Theo

thanks! i painted this guy to test out the new paints. the yellow glaze really added some definition to the highlights and a cool shade on the red. would recommend the new reds as they worked really well together
