[@drfishynoooo9960]

Reasons to collect Orks: 1. You can play Gorkamorka. 2. Refer to 1. 3. The Orks are only limited by ones imagination. Orks are one of the most conversion friendly armies for beginners. As for painting - don't like how one mobs colour scheme turned out? That's okay, that mob is simply part of another warband that turn up for your waaagh. 4. Did I mention Gorkamorka? 5. Aftermarket bits galore (adding to how conversion friendly Orks are.) You may not win all the games playing Orks, however you can have plenty of fun attempting some tactically dumb stuff. Also - GORKAMORKA!!!! WAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!

[@ScytheNoire]

Orcs are such a great army for a beginner painter, because the color scheme doesn't matter, consistency doesn't matter, and being clean doesn't matter. Just have fun painting them!

[@baconboi4482]

Necrosis are really good too, just being a bit more clean. But it’s all one solid metal color

Im glad you mentioned that. Of course GW is expesnive ! It always has been. Sure some models are stronger then others and its not a close to balance game like chess. Its way funner though and iv only played 4 games. Hell even I i lose I have such a good time. Its my favorite table top for sure.

[@SpoonyBard88]

Yeah, so many clickbait channels who do nothing but complain. And I mean nothing. They don't build, or paint, or play on their channels, they just put up images from websites on the screen while they screech about how Games Workshop just made the mistake that will ruin the company, and it ends up they are retiring an old model or something.

[@jack-a-lopium]

@@SpoonyBard88 ROFL, there was one 'content creator' who I got in an argument with, who was literally saying the exact opposite of what was contained in a GW financial report which comes to my phone... I could not believe what an absolute load of nonsense he was talking... even as a guy new to the hobby, I could easily tell what was stuff he'd made up for clicks. Cannot wait for Games Workshop to go bankrupt as he seems to say in every one of his poxy videos... they're only 40-50 years old by this point, and the founders are 'knighted' (Livingstone is a genius, I'd say) in Great Britain... but that creator suuuuure knew better! 😹

[@dekai7992]

Back when I started 40k in the dark past times of 1998, it was the Eldar Falcon model that got me in the hobby. It's a perfectly designed model (the model itself, not necessarily the kit, mind you), because it was (and still is!) the epitome and the trailblazer of the Eldar aesthetic. The fact that this model came out in 1997 and still holds up to this very day 24 years later without being out of place speaks volumes about the quality of Jes Goodwin's work. Heck, Forge World even re-designed their super-heavy Scorpion and Cobra tanks to better match the Falcon's aggressive, elegant, and timeless silhouette. It may not be the go-to unit for the Craftworlds now, but I love this model to death, and there is no other GW kit that I've built and painted more of over the years (at least 10 overall).

[@andystocking5316]

I may have bought a Cities of Sigmar army just because I love the Battlemage of Griffin so much, it isn't even all that great in-game, I just love how it looks.

[@Eugene_Ko]

I know your pain when it comes to shiny metals. I am building models planes and tried alot of products. If you want really shiny metallics you should always use a gloss primer, like enamel or alclad gloss base laqcuer (gloss spray can might work too). Alclads are actually really good metallics, but those are lacquers, so nasty fumes, a thinner that will eat through plastic if primed wrong, every scratch, every speck of dust, every rough sanding mark will be visible, need a gloss coat after, but damn those are shiny. The easy way - molotow liquid chrome, get the refill bottle (markers are ok too if you need to draw a blade or a hydraulic piston in one go) it could be airbrushed if thinned with alcohol (tamiya and mrColor lacquer thinners are said to be good too, I never had them tested), but again - gloss coat over. Mission Models have acrylic gloss base and chrome paint, that could be polished. From my experience it is more about the surface preparation rather than paint itself. Also gloss coat is like a must, especially if using chipping medium

[@stephenjdutton]

I've been collecting Orks since the days of Thrugg Bullneck's Ork raiders. That was a set of 17 metal Orks for use with the starting scenario in the Rogue Trader rulebook. Now I have hundreds of boys and plenty of oddball conversions, including an army of feral Snake Bite Orks made from AoS savage Orruks that have a steam powered battlewagon.

[@ubermoose5694]

Vallejo Metal Color is what you're looking for. Its acrylic, thin, and goes on super smooth straight out of the pot. One coat over a black basecoat is all you need. Exhaust Manifold is really close to Leadbelcher. The only downside is if you're used to regular acrylic paints this stuff flows almost too well. You have to use only the smallest bit on your brush or it will flow into every recess and get everywhere.

[@AndrewFishman]

I have collected and played Orks since Rogue Trader. THey have had their moments, but they have also been smashed in several editions. Editions 3, 4 and 6 were terrible for Orks. ED 5 was Green Tide or get your arse handed to you. It is about time they finally got some love.

[@GarredHATES]

Maybe you were just bad

[@joshpotter9261]

Third/fourth edition was great for Orks. Thirty Boyz with slugga/Choppa in cc would cut through anything. Made TEQ's pointless as 2+ saves suddenly become 4+ saves.

[@bretts2356]

I wouldn't say that GW hates all Xenos. Necrons got a lot of love over the last year+. As for copper paints (Near and dear to my heart! Just look at all that copper on my Necron army!) I like Citadel Screaming Bell for use on models with copper bits. As you know, my CSM army all have copper rims on their bases but I don't use Screaming Bell for those- seems like a waste of good paint. For the rims, I use Folk Art Copper. Its cheap and takes two or sometimes three laps around the base to get a good coat but when its done, the copper color is very nice and I can save my better, more expensive paint for the models themselves.

[@M1tZk1]

Well the new Drukhari look like my old 5E Dark Elder from 2010. Just some slight changes going from Finecast to Plastic but besides the Name nothing to fancy.

[@d-emprahexpects]

I also don't think GW dismisses xenos armies. I think they are culpable of not bringing enough spotlights to them. What happens is too many younger hobbyists love space marines (heroes wannabe) and just any good company does, they supply what the demand is. If xenos would get more love and space into starter sets, maybe we would see more variety around

[@RothianFairmoon]

the models that got me hooked on my armies are the Saurus Eternity Warden for Age of Sigmar, the Drukhari Scourges and Aspect Warriors for my Ynarri army. the concept of a saurian warrior wearing a triceratops skull for a helmet with heavy armor just vibed with me and the concept of Scourges and Eldar in general looked the most interesting for 40k to me.

[@GFNGaming]

Great video, 9:49 feel that pain man :D. Same feeling whenever I paint space wolves also

[@gregceely43]

Great inspiration! I keep slowing down on my army progress by spending ages on individual models, or getting burned out when doing large batches. So maybe some small batches would suit me well. The model that sold me on my army was the metal penitent engine back in the day. Seeing that the humans in 40k were so awful to each other made playing as the humans in a sci-fi setting much more interesting! So once the plastic Adepta Sororitas came out, it was a no-brainer to choose them and go heavy on ecclesiarchy models as my first 40k army.

[@M1tZk1]

The Colde One Knights totally sold me on the Dark Elves and on Warhammer in general when I was still new to the Hobby. An elf Knight riding on a dinosaur? Hell yeah!

[@Morhgoz]

I have been mainly Orc/Ork player since '95 when I started hobby first with WHFB and then 40k 2nd ed and Gorkamorka. Specialy love the old scratch build/kitbash part of Greenskinz so me armies tend to be based around that aspect. Also as me old fantasy orc army is not playable anymore, I'm re-painting and basing them to be not so naked Bonesplittaz for AoS while using actual plastic AoS savage orrukz to make me more "Mad Maxian" Gorkamorka style mechanized Goff horde with anti-grav vehicles, jetbikerz and lotz of Dreadz, as I have played Goffz since I started 40k...

[@dustinzaccaria7644]

Great Stuff Jay. Kudos. I’m going to start a Speed Freaks army one of these days. I’ve got this idea in my mind for a conversion of a chariot being towed by bikes instead horses, or Sqigs in the case of Orks, like in the video for Macklemore song, Downtown. It’ll either count as a one the buggies ( I haven’t decided which) or maybe battle wagon.

I also seem to build my armies based around a model I love rather than what’s good on the table top; for example I have a huge number of Hellions in my Dark Eldar. It feels like the correct way to do things! Also I love the Ryan George Pitch Meeting quip! 😂

[@warherd_miniatures]

I did the same thing with my Beasts of Chaos for AoS. I think it's the better way to do it because I get to enjoy the building and painting side more because I love the models, as well as being able to enjoy looking at them on display at my house between games. Even though they aren't the best competitively I have a lot more time spent with the little guys at home overall than I do with them on the battlefield, so we might as well enjoy it all!

"They hate all the other Xenos races" ... Well, the Necrons recently got a huuuuuge overhaul. And Tau are mostly newish models aside from the alien auxillaries. Tyranids and Eldar need some love. And so do Guard.

[@snakeplissken6649]

I had always planned an Ork army when i got the Gorka-Morka box set years ago but i went down the Eldar Craftworld route instead. Then got out of the hobby for over a decade. Then just recently i started watching 40k lore videos & the next thing you know the Beast Snagga box appears. So i'm doing a predominantly Beast Snagga army with the new combat patrol & Battle Wagon. Must dig out my Gorka-Morka box & see what's in there.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

I use P3 for my shiny metal and what solid me on Imperial guard was the bane blade and it's grandfather the Steamhammer. As for Battletech, I was sold on House Stiner because of the Atlas and their overuse of it. Also can't wait to see that center be built it would look so awesome!

I got and assembled my first Orks in June of last year because I a friend of mine wanted the Space Wolf half of the Prophecy of the Beast box and I just really think 40k Orks are awesome. Started painting five of those models in June of this year and just finished painting them tonight. I've still got like 80 more assembled Orks to paint in addition to a bunch of unassembled ones yet to go, but I've mostly had fun building and painting what I have already done. As far as Orks getting love again, sure we've gotten a lot of new models over the last year and a half and they look absolutely fantastic, but I'm personally not a fan of the super mono-pose nature of all the new minis. It just doesn't feel right for Orks at all.

[@ratshe46]

I will love to see that proyect that you showed at the end. Off with the pork and on with the engine!

[@Bluecho4]

Remember to stick a row of speakers behind the orc guitarist when you build your rig. There's probably a plethora of companies that would sell them. Or the speakers could be 3D printed. Also, the guitarist needs a plume of flame coming out the end. I know for a fact Anvil Industries sells those. As for other models, while it's not Orks, have you considered creating a rival biker gang using _Squats?_ The old Squat bikers will probably be difficult to find and might have less than stellar sculpts, but Ramshackle Games has a range of resin dwarf bikers. (Not to mention a wealth of Orks and Ork conversion bits.) For rules, I'd suggest running the Squats as an Imperial Guard army. The bikers can act at Rough Riders (it's not like you'll be entering a 3rd party Squat army in any official tournaments). Pad out the troops choices with some Mantic Games or Wargames Atlantic space dwarf infantry. Or just build the bikers, and run them in Open Play against the Orks.

[@relink555]

Can't wait to see that awesome centerpiece!

[@theanimaster]

I would just suggest - before painting the flesh, paint the area with sand-color, which helps the transition between green and flesh. This same transition is found in many plants (and Warhammer orks are fungus, afterall - which aren’t plants, I know, but) … where green will go to a pale color before transitioning to a red or purple.
