Ben's Epic Orks - Rank and File Month 2

The Snakebite Clan is completed this month with the addition of the Boarboyz (original plastics, with a couple of small conversions) and Nobz (from Vanguard).



I decided the Squiggoth I had wasn't great as a Mega-Squiggoth, so I bought some more from Ebay to complete a couple of Squiggoth Mobs in support.


And finally, so the Boyz can keep up with the Boarboyz, I've also painted up some transports (some metal Trukks, some a combination of the older and newer plastic battlewagons).


I made another terrain piece for the background.  This was inspired by an old White Dwarf picture of an Ork Village built on a ruined Warlord Titan, and was a lot of fun to make.
 

I've stuck with a beige/white/metal colour scheme, with pinkish-brown squigs/boars, to try and keep the clan coherent and different to my other clans.  Next month, I plan to introduce some bright red, by painting Nobz Bikes and Buggies for a Kult of Speed.  But for now, this month's total of 14 stands and 16 vehicles painted means I've now got a total of 1,350 points of Orks to add to my army - if you ignore the 5 support cards per company limit...
