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!
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!!!!!
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.
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.

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).
Jay please hear my prayer! Vallejo already makes a perfect replacement for their Liquid Gold Copper! Liquid Metal Copper is PERFECT and is the same ultra-thin consistency while being water based and has thst beautiful über-dense pigment!
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.
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.
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.
Finding your batch size and individual ways to maximize time use are key. Awesome video and absolutely love not only the theme but your skin concept is beyond great.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@GarredHATES Maybe I was, but I still won more games than I lost. Maybe you are just witless and could not think of a better comment, so had to be rude?
man paints 3 damn bikers, paint STILL wet. Hits up the GW site for the next project. talking about "things to add to my shrinking pile of shame". respect.
As a 62-yr old Brit gamer who started with Rogue Trader and still plays - mostly Death Guard, Necrons and Orks because Spahss Mahreens, yawn! - I really enjoy your videos for the huge amount of enthusiasm you have. Keep on keepin' on!
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...
I use the (acrylic) vallejo metal air colors over black gloss primer, kinda like a zenithal highlight avoiding full coverage even from the top. Makes the shiniest metal I've achieved so far.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I really like the turbo dork paints when I need something to be nice and shiny. Their color shifts make Thousand Sons armor look really accurate with the mind bending purple to blue transitions.
I love how GW won't actually be able to replace old Craftworld models with new different units, since by design the lore doesn't allow for renamed and 'different' Aspect Warriors. If they do then it does confirm that GW doesn't care for their own lore.
"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.
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.
The models that really made me want to play death guard were just the plague marines, there are so many cool details and mutations and stuff and I just had to paint them
Dudeee this conversion with guitar ork on the top is insane! Hope to see it ASAP, I also did my new Octarius Komando in Mad Max style. Now it's a trend)))
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.
I have seen great results of a gloss black primer or gloss varnish over a regular black primer. Also, I can personally vouch for Vallejo Metal Colour copper being the perfect acrylic copper paint, you won't be disappointed!
Some Metal paint (chrome) options that maybe useful Molotow liquid chrome paint refills as well as rub and buff. The rub and buff maybe hard to control on a tiny surface but I know Adam Savage has had a lot of success using both for his projects.
I started playing Orks in 2nd edition and the mini that sold me on the army was the (really) old Ghazghkull. I've had many armies through the years but Orks are the ones I've always kept around.
@@Totema1 ive never used them myself thats why i said look into them, anyway metal n alchemy range has loads of cool colours like purple and blue and green metallics so they would be the main draw, i would probably continue to use pro acryl for generic colours
I've been thinking of trying my hand at Warhammer 40K and the Orks have defiantly caught my attention. What can I say, their war vehicles are defiantly a selling point. Thank you for the tips.
Vallejo metal color is some of the best acrylic metals I've used. Vince Venturella turned me onto them. The gold and coppers are very limited but overall the line is amazing.
Vallejo metal color is awesome. I have copper and silver and its so much better than any other metallic paint ive tried. Its thin but covers in one coat I highly recommend it Edit; Pro Acryl metallics are pretty good too. Not as thin as VMC but nice coverage
For me it was the Primaris Reivers. I know they're not really useful but they look awesome. I guess it was the Phobos armour because I love most of the vanguard stuff... except for the flying guys with the big guns.
What you did with that gas canister is so smart also when you reach 100k (not if. You will.) You need to make that kill rig/ battle wagon kit bash a reality.
Yes the tau havent gotten anything new in a while but I dont think they need a refresh since most of their models at least in my opinion still stand up very well to todays 40k standards
The love you put into each ork has inspired me to really do the same for all of mine. Sure, it make take awhile, but Orks don't care about dat, long as dere's a good scrap to be had on da other side!
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.

@@Willabrador yup.
This is the correct reason to buy a model.
99% of the time you will be looking at the model on a shelf , so the way model looks is most important.
@3:11 if you're not doing this constantly with every Ork; bike, truck and car then you're doing it wrong. Bonus points if you make noises.

Told ya. Batches of 3 is way better than doing 10 at a time.
Great work and nice implementation of your older content 👌
Oh man I can't wait to see that kill rig conversion, love the mad max vibes
The crisis suits of the Tau army ! That's what got me back into warhammer a year ago :)
Vallejo metal color is awesome. I have copper and silver and its so much better than any other metallic paint ive tried. Its thin but covers in one coat I highly recommend it
Edit; Pro Acryl metallics are pretty good too. Not as thin as VMC but nice coverage
I LOVE your idea for the rig, I can't wait to see it finished!
Just getting back into the hobby after around 15 years and this was so satisfying! Amazing work!
Boyz with girth 😂 Somebody has been watching Kirioth!
I love your idea for your Killrig, Immortan Joe will await you at the gates of Valhalla!
Magnum Opus was the name of the Mad Max Car from the video game a few years back!
"Super easy, barely an inconvenience", love it
Man your finished models never cease to amaze me!
I'm gonna go out on a limb & say Orks have *always* been popular & liked.
Love this style of video just like that kill team one were u painted them over the weekend
Your orks look great!! Thanks for sharing this with us, Jay.
picked up warhammer in lockdown. started with grey knights, but as soon as I saw the flashgitz I knew I needed those space pirate orks
For me it was the Primaris Reivers. I know they're not really useful but they look awesome. I guess it was the Phobos armour because I love most of the vanguard stuff... except for the flying guys with the big guns.
What you did with that gas canister is so smart also when you reach 100k (not if. You will.) You need to make that kill rig/ battle wagon kit bash a reality.
Good time to keep my energy up as I work on my freeboota themed orks. Trying to figure out out to model take busters with cannons
for me it had to be the flash gitz. finally finished off my waaaagh with a squiggoth for my flash gitz to ride. couldn’t be happier.
I've only recently gotten into warhammer and I think the Orks are great! Hilarious, and easily the most creative bunch!
have you considered doing a video where you use every paint you own on a single model? that would be great
Thats too much paint
@@DazsdWTP yeah maybe if he used every green he owns on a set of WAAAGH or something.
I would only do this on a huge model, and only if I had a ton of money
not a bad idea but really it would be a reality check video where I punish myself for owning too much paint.
Can't wait to see that awesome centerpiece!
I'm getting necrons as my first army, and I just like the way the basic warriors look
Yes the tau havent gotten anything new in a while but I dont think they need a refresh since most of their models at least in my opinion still stand up very well to todays 40k standards
The love you put into each ork has inspired me to really do the same for all of mine. Sure, it make take awhile, but Orks don't care about dat, long as dere's a good scrap to be had on da other side!
For me it was the leman Russ tank that got me into guard, but when I was first painting them they accidentally began to look like bright color panzers
Super glue gel is very good for attaching miniatures to bases.
The deff dread and lore sold me on orks.
Man, you make everything look so easy. Love that
Try the AK Interactive metallic range. It's by far my favorite.
The models that got me into krieg was the Hades drill breach squadron
Orks will be the only beings left at the end of the universe
That Ork War Rig is going to be incredible!
I've added some stormhost silver to the wings on the chest plate of my custodian dreadnought
Not a model but a clan got me into Orks, specifically the Evil Suns /Speed Freaks
You had me at flaming guitar ork
OMG!!! I wanna see that kitbashed Killrig SOOOO BAD!!! XD
