I especially like the Ultramarines/Imperial Fists, and the Imperial Guard on your blog. <br />Love the colour choice on the Hasslefree miniatures Space Pug too :) Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-70898496559050433182013-09-26T09:02:06.912+01:002013-09-26T09:02:06.912+01:00Hey Lee, new to your blog – but I really like your...Hey Lee, new to your blog – but I really like your painting style. Would you mind if I used your Thrugg Bullneck picture on my blog? I've done an updated version of the character, and wanted a picture of the old one to compare him with – yours is the best painted I've seen.<br />I really like the WWII feel of your orks – a great inspiration. Looking forward to digging through the rest of your posts. :)apologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14655902797372187934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-53542513786309123822013-07-30T10:10:34.840+01:002013-07-30T10:10:34.840+01:00Thank you,

It looks really killer in those army grey colours, a bit less silly than the later clans (Which I also like, but to me the later bright coloured and silly clans is not really Rogue Trader spirit).Jonashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159992191793110319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-2496443321395524882013-06-28T05:04:10.221+01:002013-06-28T05:04:10.221+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Spooktalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436639944558607691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-43881019572900204572013-06-18T13:35:33.904+01:002013-06-18T13:35:33.904+01:00Maybe

We 're talking of an era where marines (toughness 3) had 3 days old beard, smoke, shot scavvies in the head and were more acting like a bunch of blokes than like the genetically modified zelots they are now. <br />I'm looking forward to your marines army Goblin lee !Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-2620357948240512372013-06-17T23:59:53.345+01:002013-06-17T23:59:53.345+01:00Thank you,

It is good to finally have them finished (finished then a year or so ago). <br /><br />I still have 20 of the Orks Raiders miniatures to paint for the Assault Grenadiers from the Battle of Jadberry Hill in White Dwarf #94. I want to add them to the Drop Legion like I have with Thruggs Raiders, as an auxillary scouting force.<br /><br /> I have replaced Thrugg with the Buzzy Buzzacks miniature, but kept the Hhruk miniature. I like the idea of the two competing Raider units being the same but slightly different, like Father Ted and Father Dick Byrne, only armed with bolters in space :) . <br /><br />I'll probably paint them a different unform colour. <br /><br /> Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-28870334813521581752013-06-17T23:44:26.302+01:002013-06-17T23:44:26.302+01:00I can recommend the Space Ork Raiders, they are a ...I can recommend the Space Ork Raiders, they are a great set, especially as they all look like they are advancing. <br /><br />They are fun and easy to paint, and always look the part. They turn up quite often on e-bay, and not too expensive. Some of the special and heavy weapons can get pricey sometimes though. <br /><br />I have always liked the very first Space Orks and I am really pleased that I managed to complete the Drop Legion with the extras finished and painted. It seems to have more meaning to do than just collecting a big army of the current souless feeling plastic Orks. <br />Quite proud of the Dreadnoughts as they add some 'heavyness' to the army, and they add to that early feel of the army, before the plastic tanks (apart from converted Airfix stuff!) .<br /><br />Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-84144811727516468292013-06-17T23:23:14.383+01:002013-06-17T23:23:14.383+01:00Thank you,

I am pleased with how they look, with a sense of a purpose and looking like an army. <br /><br />Going for the drab realistic colours only helped to give a real world feel to miniatures that can all too easily look too cartoony. <br />Personally, I think uniform is the way to go with the early Orks, otherwise they can look disjointed. I try to keep a lot of the painting I do for everything simple, and then use any other colours for some of the smaller details to individualise an otherwise uniform paint scheme. The good thing about older miniatures is that they have lots of those details on them. <br />I can just imagine them causing real mayhem across some unsuspecting planet (that may or may not look a little like Northern France!

It also makes the red eyes stand out more, and give them that 'up to no good' nasty look without being full on evil or evil 'lite'. <br /><br /> Never liked the Ork clan system or the practice of painting brightly coloured orks (except Frasier Greys ones!) , always saw them as 3rd edition fantasy Orcs with technology and Wermacht leanings. That always lack the coherance of an army, more paint-balling Orks! <br /><br />Personality wise, a cross between the 3rd ed fantasy Orcs, bovver boys, and WW2 cinematic Germans.

I really like the uniform approach you gave them. I've always seen Rogue Trader Orks as a hodgepodge collection of troopers and maniacs, and that is how I always approached them for my own collection, but seeing them in uniform really makes them scary looking - a force to be reckoned with!

They fitted into the standard 'bad guy' adversary role, but with all the added background of 40k and the war films.<br /> Hope your friend likes them too :) <br /><br />I was less focused on Rogue Trader than Warhammer to start with too, but it was a release sheet with all Imperial Army and Space Slann on it that I got with a mail order in the summer of 1987 that got me interested in the upcoming Warhammer 40k ! <br />I was sold when the Space Ork Raiders were released. You're right, they are better and more characterful than the current ones. I do have an unfinished current army of Orks, but lack of motivation for them means they are still unfinished.Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-58540717076419598562013-06-17T09:51:50.054+01:002013-06-17T09:51:50.054+01:00That's ok, thank you for looking!
