As for the campaign, it was very one sided, more so than the overall score reflected.
I think this was mostly due to the bad match up (Orks vs Deathwing) and very bad luck on my opponents part, no one should fail that many 2+ saves.

Boss Snikrot Conversion
So i finally bought a metal Snikrot before they make him in rubbish resin, unfortunately he came with no left arm so i converted up some nob choppa arms, i think he looks pretty good.

1750pts escalation campaign
Myself and Euan at the Empyrean gaming club are currently in the middle of running a mini 1750pts escalation campaign, here is a little sketch i made to map it out.
We are using random Ork and Space Marine battle missions, at the moment i am winning 2:1 although i belive that is majorly due to Orks being very strong a lower point values, i feel at higher point values is went Euans Grail Knights (Deathwing) will become a strong force.
You can check out some war photography from the campaign and some Grail Knight biased accounts (lol) in the clubs forum.

Blackreach Kommandos
Just a few pics of some Blackreach Orks i converted up to be Kommandos.
I used only the guys with blades and attached as many stikbombs and pouches to the models as possible with a few extra geenstuff belts and straps.
The basic color scheme is the same as the rest of my Orks but all armour and guns were painted with a green camo pattern for obvious reasons.
I run these guys with boss Snikrot at games >= 1000pts to good effect, i am in debate wether or not to convert a Snikrot or buy the GW model.
My current W/L/D with the Orks is 10/5/2, i am still really enjoying playing and painting them, the army currently stands at about 50% painted.

Kustom Force Field Big Mek Conversion
So i knocked up a big Mek with a KFF/Burna as my 2nd HQ for my Orks.
I think its a good counts as model since its clear it has some weird Ork contraption on his back but i think i could do a better job on the KFF.
On the gaming side i have played another two and a half games with my Orks, a win and a draw.
The half game was ended due to running out of time at the club although i was lossing on kill points at the time i had more to lose and the majority of loses were from transports, its hard to count that as a real loss so i am not counting it at all.

Black Reach Deffkopta to Rokkit Warbuggy Conversion
I wanted some rocket buggies for my Orks but the current "old" buggy model looks terrible so i converted some out of Deffkoptas of which i now have many.
The rear axle is straight off the Trukk model, all my Trukks now only have 2 axles although i think they look better for it.
The front section is from the top of the deffkopta and the old Ork bike model.
I have played 4 games with my Orks now, 1 at 1000pts, 2 at 1250pts and finally 1 at 1500pts of which i have won 3 and lost 1.
I am finding my Orks do very well in the mid game but don't have the staying power to survive a long game, two of my wins would have been draws or losses had the game lasted an extra turn and my one loss would have been a win had it ended sooner.

Waaagh!
So i painted up a Deffkopta and one thing led to another and now i have started Orks.
The space elves are on hiatus untill they get a new codex or i get bored again, same for the Bonecrons.
I really enjoyed painting the DeffKopta, i also used this model to experiment with some weathering powders for the first time, i think they came out real nice.
The list i am aiming for with my Orks is something like:
1 Biker Warboss
1 Big mech with Kustom Force Field
5 Nob Bikers
3 Shoota Boyz mobs in Trukks
1 Ard'Boyz mob with Choppas in Battlewagon
6 DeffKoptas
It nicely fit the all mechanized theme i am going for and should be fun to play.

Bonecrons complete, Incoming Eldar and the Cobra Kai?
The Bonecrons are complete for now at 1000pts, i think the simple color scheme with the blue barrels looks really good on an army which is supposed to have very little individual personality.
Next up is repainting my old 2nd edition Eldar army, i want to keep this army as original as possible so i will not be buying any new models or tanks outside of what was made during 2nd edition.
The Eldar meet a bucket of Dettol
Bonecrons!
