RobO's Blood Axe Introduction

 Ok, here we are just a few hours before the deadline and as is typical...I am pounding out something that has been assigned for months in the 11th hour.

I have been cowed by the previous entrants creativeness so I will keep the intro of my "rookie season" project short and sweet.

My army will be a 1000 point 2nd Edition 40K Ork Army focused on the Blood Axe Klan. I have some models still inbound so the list below is really just the 600-ish Core. I am not sure if and when some of the models will arrive, so I am leaving some room for flexibility.

Up front there you'll see what I will be starting in January. 10 "Close Combat" grots. I'll try to squeeze in the RuntHerder and 2 Grot Assistants...that said, I won't even be looking in their direction until the unit is well under way.

I will follow those up with the core Blood Axe component of the list. As this army grows in the future and I will try to grow these to at least two units of 10 of Blood Axe boyz. As it stands I have 3 "official" Blood Axe Boyz and 5 Blood Axe Kommandos.  (There are 3 more boyz on the way, and I hope they are in-hand by February. If not I will replace those short-term by other models in the list. Possibly the sentinel that still needs a Mekaniak's touch.)

I'll also be painting-up a Drill Boss and a unit of Storm Boyz all with jump packs. Depending on what comes when, I may include the Ogryns in the same month...but may need to add some additional big boys to the project to bulk-out the points.

Here are some of the boyz that are currently MIA...including the Warboss which needs to be unconverted once he arrives.

Finally, I am consistent if nothing else, so here is the offering to the OWAC God. I am not a fast painter and started after Christmas. (11th hour)
