Oldschool Orks - Shokk Attack Gun & snotlings

I think the Shokk Attack Gun is one of the most iconic Ork weapons, and while I have never fielded one in my Kan Wall, I wanted one for my 2nd Ed army.

Oldschool Orks - 2nd Ed WarBuggy

My first 2nd edition Ork unit/figure: a war buggy.

Its funny - while I'm super keen (and/or nostalgic) for 2nd ed I have to admit that the minis can be very hit or miss. Some have that old school charm, and others like the war buggy are pretty ugly :)

Cunning plan: Oldhammer 40k 2nd Ed

Over the last year and a half I've been slowly working on a 2nd edition scheme with my cunning opponent.

As much as I enjoyed painting and playing my Imperial Knight, and my flyer, as 7th Ed evolves and rumours of 8th Ed float around I find myself more and more drawn to the 40k of the mid 90's. 

Wolves get some air support - Stormfang

The space wolf flyers were the new shiny to come out in the latest codex, and I wanted one.

Pixma - Waves

Much like my Skitarri were my 2015 birthday present to myself, the Stormfang was my 2015 Christmas present to myself with some bonus money. (This breaks my self-imposed rule of no new 40k purchases until I've finished painting the last one but - meh! I wanted the shiny and it was Christmas).

House Hawkshroud group shot

While I was taking pics for my previous 2 posts I took some groups shots with Accipiter Ferox for no other reason than I wanted to:

Hawkshroud Skitarri Rangers

While my Hawkshroud Vanguard would run forward with Accipter Ferox, the squad of Rangers is intended to sit back in cover and shoot from range.

My fearless and cunning opponent and I are currently obsessed with the Prisma app for turning our pics into gothic cartoons - the plan is to do a bat rep completely in the style above at some stage when our schedules align.

First post for 2016! Hawkshroud Skitarri Vanguard

Despite a complete lack of posting this year, I've been making a fair amount of progress, so I have several posts queued up to catch up.
