The Epic project rolls on. Having finished my Titan Legion last week, I turn now to their green-skinned foes. My Ork army consists of three clans, all of which are a bit on the...B-list as far as popularity goes. But what can I say? I like my Orks weird. So first up we've got the Blood Axes...
About half the clan...I'll have to figure out a way to shoot larger groupings of troops... |
For those unfamiliar with Orky backstory, the Blood Axes are a clan of Orks that "trade openly with the worlds of the Imperium, parley with the foe, and will even consider retreating from battle if faced with insurmountable odds." Of course, every other Ork clan hates them for this distinctly un-Orky behavior.
Half the infantry and their Rhinos. |
In the background I've worked up for my army, this clan is a mercenary company that's hired on with the warboss (who will hopefully be showing up in the next update). Due to the fact that they're mounted in Rhinos, I've dubbed them "Panzork-Grenadiers" and have given them an appropriate palette - dunkelgelb for the armored bits and the heavy weapons, feldgrau for the fabric bits (which are only visible here and there in these pics).
And the other half. |
And the Nobz. |
This clan also sports a couple support units, and they'll be showing up in next week's Epic update, along with the second clan of the army. In the meantime, we've got 80 infantry and 11 vehicles, so that makes 62 points for this entry.
Love those over sized cannons. May God help your enemies!
ReplyDeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteThe Idea of orks keeping equipment in parade ground condition did put a smile on my face. Personally I love the quirkiness of the Blood-axes an ork clan that seems to be out of favour with GW, which probably makes me like them even more!
ReplyDeleteNice Orklets David :)
ReplyDeleteGood choice of clan! And Fine colour schemes.
ReplyDeleteThose Land Raiders bring back memorys. Nice work. cheers
ReplyDeleteLove these Blood Axes, keep the epic coming!
ReplyDeleteEarly epic will always impress me, especially details like the blood axes! Looking forward to the next clans, especially if they're as well turned out as these chaps
ReplyDeleteReal nice, you got to love those Orc's

Fantastic painting work, really clear.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying your Epic stuff David. It's a fantastic game and you're putting a pile of effort in to produce some really characterful miniatures...
ReplyDeleteLove the Panzorks and those Land Raiders are the t*ts!
