Report Sierra: Large green foot crushes space marine scouts:

The warband grows and Slegg has been busy, not content with his own gear, he has found and corralled a weirdboy into action.


Ah yes the beloved Ork Psyker. Two mastery levels to choose from (2 or 4), no armour or equipment bar the one wargear card and a tendency to be super vulnerable when a Witch Hunt mission is drawn by the opposing army.

One thing I do love about the old Weirdboys and the Warpheads is the amount of models to choose from. With so much character showing from the grumpy looking Goff one to the Deathskull one that sports sunglasses. I mean just look at this selection!

That's a lot of potential explodin' heads!

I especially like that each clan got there own weirdboy as well as the various neutral options. Along with that is the two one piece weirdboys with minderz (aimed vomit one is excellent). I personally own quite a few of these the two neutral weirdboys (not the one with hair). The Bad Moon, Deathskull, Goff and the right hand side 'heavy night out' one, I also own the screaming at the heavens Bad Moon warphead that was released later on.

They also present a novel challenge for painting as although they are associated with a clan or your army they also should be in bright colours to indicate to the lads that a weirdboy is about.

"Oi Wurrzee!" oh fo da luv of Mork.  "The camera is overhere!"

This is Wurrzee one of the non-clan weirdboys. As you can see despite that I have painted him up in a strong yellow colours so he could be a Bad Moon.

"No not there, stop messin wit dat squig!"

I like this model because he is rather animated about something and his staff for grounding the Waaagh energies is very characterful. All those faces along with the hair, makes it all a bit Temple of Doom.

Right then, who's in charge here?

Been a little while since a major post so let's get going with some 40k Orks just in time for Orktobe.... OK well I may have missed the traditional ork month but that doesn't mean the Orky goodness has to stop, just ask Nazdreg.

Telescope bionic eye? Why is that not a thing??

Why Nazdreg? Well today we are going to be looking at my special character inspired freshly painted Boss man.

No not him, we are not in Cobb County, Georgia

Yes Slegg Bloodnug has finally got a miniature painted up again, that didn't take long did it, hmmm I started this blog in 2015.

I used the original Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub model with a slight conversion. Never really liked how he is waving his power fist in the air, as if to say "Hey look at me!" Also isn't he supposed to have a power claw like the art above suggests?

Not a Power Claw Nazdreg.

It's quiet, too quiet ....

Oh how the days pass so quickly and the chance to write anything interesting is swallowed up by other activities.

Bit of Ian Miller artwork to look at.

This is just a quick post to say that this blog is still active and will be getting some cool updates in the near future. Including more Orks, more Heroquest, more chaotic things, a battle report (2nd Edition style) and maybe even a werewolf!

In the meantime here is a photo of a game of gaslands that I played a few weeks back.

Racing into the lead (not my car).

Until next time.
