The other day, as I was tidying up, I finally got around to putting the three Ork Nobs I painted back in Orktober into the case where the rest of the Orks live. As I was doing it I took the opportunity to count out how many Nobs I actually have these days and that’s when I realised I’ve now painted 14 of them. Now this is significant because Nobs come in mobs of between 5 and 10 so this was a golden opportunity for the most recent four to break away and start a new squad on their own. Before they could make a name for themselves in the wars of the far future however they need a Boss Nob to lead them. Obviously this was a crisis that couldn’t wait, no-one wants four leaderless Nobs now do they? I went straight to the bits box, kitbashed this fellow and gave him the name Urzog Ironboot.
Here he is with the rest of his lads, away to pick a fight with the first git to cross his path.
Of course if the new squad are going to really show the world what they’ve got I’ll need to add some more recruits to the squad – so if I don’t get around to it in the meantime that’ll be a job for next Orktober!

Looking good! I like the mix of topknot colours.

Cheers! They probably think it makes them sneaky. If they all have a different coloured topknot then whatever colour the background is they’ll still blend in. Dead kunnin’ these lads.

Nicely bashed Wudu old chap and I love the name. Well on the way to another motley crew. 🙂

Cheers! I used to name all the characters in my armies (at least the key individuals, squad leaders and so on) but I got out of the way of it. Seeing you doing it with you knights and IRO with his orks has inspired me to go back to it though, it really brings a lot of life and character to the models.

Lively job mate – always satisfying to get a mew mob off the ground!!
December 2nd, 2021 at 8:58 am
*new* mob 😂
December 2nd, 2021 at 2:22 pm
Cheers mate! Dear me, I thought it was your ability to smell that the rona affected, not your ability to spell! Nothing like starting a mew mob with a new nob though, or something like that. 😀

Very nice- I like his blinging teeth.
Cheers,
Pete.

Cheers! He’s a rich dude and he’s here to show it off right enough!

Wait, you mean that you have more Orks kicking around over there after the onslaught of Orktober?!? This latest Nob does look like the toughest and meanest of the bunch! I reckon that claw really gets his points across well 🙂 I like the look of this new, breakaway squad too. Will we be seeing more members added soon?
December 3rd, 2021 at 8:40 pm
Cheers! Haha, I’m slightly ashamed to admit it but Orktober barely scratched the surface of my Ork stash. Expect plenty more to put in an appearance, both for this squad and various others.
December 3rd, 2021 at 9:57 pm
Nice work! Like the collar and the bionik bonce!
December 7th, 2021 at 7:03 pm
Thanks! Its funny how little details help to sell a model as the squad leader. Give an ork a collar and suddenly he thinks he’s the boss!
December 3rd, 2021 at 11:51 pm
Nice mate but this can’t be included for next years Orktober challenge nor can it be added to the last challenge haha.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:23 pm
Late entry? 😉 Glad you like him mate, I was just starting to wonder how you were doing as you’ve not been around much – knew this will be your busy time though. Think that the next Ork I do will need a Tau trophy in honour of your new army!
December 5th, 2021 at 3:32 pm
Haha definitely a few Tau heads would work well as trophy’s
