My first painted figure of the year is a secret santa gift from a buddy, so I decided to get it painted before I went back to work.



Its a GorkaMorka ork "Spanner" (mechanic in training), one of the lovely Brian Nelson sculpts of the late 90s.



I decided to bandwagon jump with this guy and paint it in a Fury Road "War Boys" scheme. 
"Blackthumb" here will be the first member of my "White Spiders" ork sub faction.

More info and images here if any of you are interested.

Happy New Year!

Tremendously cool, I didn't expect the white skin to look so good. There was an albino Ork character back in the day for the Jadeberry Hill scenario, just came back to mind :). Quite a charming bloke!

Thanks for all of the encouraging feedback everyone!  The War Boy/GorkaMorka mash up really is one of those tasty combos.

As is my wont, I have immediately stopped working on anything else other than pale orks since I painted that guy.  I dont know if I will get as far as vehicles, but I really want to, primarily because of this (not my paint job):



Its a model scratch built/sculpted by my buddy Captain Crooks as documented on his blog.  Curtis at Ramshackle Games has cast the master and put them up for sale, so I picked myself up a copy.

The urge to add that particular model to this subgroup of orks is extra high at the moment.

But some ground pounders first... and maybe the driver of said vehicle...
