Da Green Horde

During my recent painting sessions I also found time to paint a conversion that I built a while ago, inspired by the classic (and very rare) Squig Racers as well as the kitbashes from Squig Wrangling . The grot is an old Gorkamorka sculpt and was part of the amazing Rebel Grot faction, a group of grots that started an uprising againts their ork oppressors (for those that are interested, the name of the miniature is Big Lugga Grot Crank Crew 1 ). The squig was once attached to the arm of an ork warboss, the old metal version of the Ork Warboss with Attack Squig to be precise. The cart was made by combining a piece of a chopstick with two old Citadel shields (looted from some dwarf rangers). This is also my second and final entry for IRO 's Orktober challenge. Together with Nazgrub and friends , this leads to a total of 5 points. Nothing compared to IRO and Wudugast , who painted an astonishing amount of minis this month.

  After a short hobby break I'm back with a few greenskins just in time for Orktober . I'm still planning to complete the #mortalcitizens challenge for this year, so here's my entry for August (even though it's already October). The theme for August was Smith/Industry/Chemist/Alchemist and as I already painted a Smith in March, I decided to go in a different direction. Nazgrub wanders around the realms, always on the search for realmstones. He sells Bones of Amber to Wurrgog Prophets and Chamonite to orruk smiths, who feed it to their Gruntas to create pig-iron with special properties. He's always accompanied (more or less voluntarily) by Pik the snotling and Pak the grot. While Pik's job is to crawl into crevices that are too small for Nazgrub, Pak has the "honour" of carrying the stones they found. The orruk is actually a special character from Gorkamorka known as Nazgrub Wurrzag, Scrap Prospector . It's another one of those models tha
