With my Space Marine army almost complete, I was trying to decide what would be my next army and my wife said why not do Orks. ?She has always loved the Orks since the first time I played them in 40K. ?So, with some good deals on ebay(not lately) and bartertown I have put together the army before you.

Woah, that's an impressive stash of Ork minis there, PLM...  This should be an interesting thread!  You've set yourself quite a challenge with this horde! :)

That should keep you busy for at least a week.

A week? Chris, you must be pretty fast. It?ll take most of my lifetime to paint such an impressive horde!

PLM, may i ask how much money did you invest in this army? (i have an small-but-growing ork horde over here, and i maybe i will be buying some fantasy 6mm orks from irregular in the near future)

Not bad at all! I like pics of armies-about-to-be-started. This one is grand :) :) :)

So - Sunz, Moons, Axes, Skulls. Snakes or Goffs? Or none or all?

Wow.  That's a lot of old school metal.  I'd love to have a handful of those to fill in my collection.

I look forward to seeing the results.

It is hard to say exactly, since most of the older stuff I won in auctions. ?If I had to do a ballpark figure for everything there I have probably spent around $300-$330 which since I had to pay retail for some of the stuff, I don't think its too bad.

I really like the Evil Sunz, but since I have painted 3 Blood Angels armies in 40K I am tired of painting red. ?I think for me it will come down to either Goffs or Deathskulls. ?The Goffs because I think they look really mean or Deathskulls because I do not see a lot of blue ork armies and think it might look preatty cool.

Yeah, there's at least 3 weeks worth of painting there!

Nice haul of Ork tanks.....bit light on for Gargants though aren't you :)

As someone slowly painting an Ork horde between other armies, I now lean heavily toward making things Blood Axe for a bit of camo action.

Nice haul!

Deathskulls would be cool for at *least* two reasons: 1) They seem much more rare than the other clans, 2) makes it very easy to use your army as an OGBM force as well!

WAAAGH!

@zap123-Yes, the gargants seem to be one of the harder items for me to get my hands on.  I may try my hand at making some custom one out of plastic card.
