Watch out for Snakes!

Any of you Misties out there should get the title of this post ;)

Anyhow we're not talking about MST3K today, despite the exciting news (if you hadn't heard already) that the Kickstarter to bring it back to our screens was a massive success!

Today we're talking Orks of the Snakebite variety. Fiercely traditional and suspicious of new fangled teknology and gubbins, these Orks like to get up close and personal with the enemy so they can introduce them to the finer points of Snakebite Kulture.

Love this illustration by Adrian Smith!

One Big Mob - Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah!

Just a quick post today before I go back to no internet land - still waiting on getting connected...

Lots of naked lead and plastic today, although I have been busy painting epic Space Wolves all weekend - honest! Unfortunately I didn't get them done in time to share today - just the bases and banners to do.

 I seem to have been lured away from Imperial doctrine by the siren call of the Waaa-Ork and like many a Mekaniak my dreams have been full of the plundering of worlds and the Gods themselves walking amongst us in suits of iron and steel!

So I finished building my Gargant Big Mob. The Mega Gargant is painted up albeit rather hastily to get it ready for BOYL 2014 - definitely ripe for some detailing and chequers to finish him off.

The others are the fruits of my forages on ebay and quite the bargain they were too! One lot provided me with a load of titan weapons, two incomplete Great Gargant bodie and some weapons and the Slasha Gargant, while another (listed as a Dalek like figure!) gave me the third incomplete Great Gargent and the incomplete Mekboy Gargant.

I had a ton of fun hashing together bits to complete them as my budget was no way going to stretch buying actual Gargant weapons at BIN price son ebay. How many parts can you identify?

Happily I've found Adetus Titanicus rules for Gargants in various White Dwarfs and the old Codex  Titanicus so I'd definitely like to get a Titan V Gargant game in sometime...
