Big Gobb was proud. Very proud.
After countless humiliating defeats he’d won a battle! Just like his father had won all those battles!
Close observers might have noted that Big Gobb was standing at the back, far from danger as his boyz charged the enemy lines. But there weren’t any close observers.
To celebrate his first victory, Big Gobb had raised a mighty banner as more and more boyz flocked to the WAAARGH!
Now Big Gobb and his big mob were ready to take on anyone and everyone. As they prepared to march into the galaxy in the hunt for glory, the boss took a moment to soak it all in.
He was a flash git. And he bloody loved it.
I’m chuffed to bits to have finished this challenge!
Bringing Big Gobb’s mob to life has been so much fun, and I’m delighted to finish a project that has been ongoing for 2.5 years! Having said that, there are plenty of orky models I had collected and still need to paint. Life, work etc. forced me to reduce my plans, but I was pleased to finally add a banner this month.
This is the first time that I’ve painted orcs and I’ve loved it. The Rogue Trader era originals are a joy (and let’s not forget that Hero Quest wizard!) and the recent sculpts from Old School Miniatures, Foundry, Ramshackle Games and Knightmare Miniatures blend in really nicely.
Bad Moonz are a great fit for me: bright colours and weird. I've found my clan!
Huge thanks to Byron and the tireless committee who keep this challenge going. And to the other challengers for the motivation and inspiring projects. So many glorious armies to enjoy!
But I don’t have too much time to enjoy the celebrations as I’m planning something pretty big for OWAC IX. It’s already time to get the modelling knife out!

Well, they certainly grab you by the eye sockets and give you a good shake, don't they, well done.
ReplyDeleteYes George! Excellent work throughout, and congrats on completing a fabulous army! A modelling knife for the next challenge is positively mad dok - like... Looking forward to whatever it is :) 👊
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I do love some bright-coloured orks! Great mix of models too.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see Gobb's crew all together and fully painted. And the banner really crowns the look of this old-school space ork force! Excited to see what you need the hobby knife for!
