EPIC: ORKS ARMY. YEAR: 2015.

Look what the Three Wise Men have brought to us!
This little Epic Ork order is going to be a nice gift for our customer (it will receive it in a few days). It includes a great variety of vehicles and infantry: from the huge Mega Gargant or the pair of Gargants that we have painted to the Killa Cans or the massive infantry formations. Get ready for the Waaagh!


We had never painted before Epic models. They are very funny to paint just as we expected. Unlike Warhammer, here you have the perspective of being a real general, commanding a huge army with several kind of vehicles and infantry units.
As you see, Orks has been choosen to be the first miniatures in our Epic tag. They have been painted with a usual red, black and dark metal scheme of colors. We can highlight the scrathes in all their armour plating (Orks have never taken much careful of their look) and the bases, decorated with death vegetation.
But, not everything has been vehicles. Here you have a pic where you can see the whole mass of infantry bases. We will talk about them at the end of this post.


MEGA GARGANT
Let's beging with the Big Boys. This Mega Gargant is the biggest model performed in this order, comparable to the Imperial Imperator-Class Titan. It has the same height than a common 28mm Warhammer 40.000 Ork.



These effigies of the Ork idols Gork and Mork carry multiple weapons and armour plates. Do not forget that this model is a smaller scale compared with the usual 28mm. 


GARGANT
The next size that we find in this army are the Gargants. They are still big and very similiar to the Stompas. They carry as well many weapons, both missile and close combat.


VEHICLES AND TANKS
These Ork vehicles are the spine of any Ork army and compose the main battle line against the enemy. Here is where more variety we can find: Tanks, Waggons, Flakwagons, Buggies...





DREADNOUGHT Y KILLA CANS
Any qualified Ork army, both Epic or Warhammer 40.000, should include among its lines at least one battle walker to crush the enemy. Of course, we are talking about Dreadnoughts the Killa Cans, two of the most representative units of this army. In the photo below you can see both of them.

KOPTAS
We keep going down in the size of the troops. You can see now the first light vehicles, specilized in scouting the enemy and support infantry. These Koptas thanks to their light armor and great mobility are able to attack the weak points of the enemy.


BIG GUNS
Infantry needs support in many situations and the Big Guns are the ones in charge of that. Every Ork army has a special unit dedicated to artillery. Here we can see some Big Kannons and some Zzap guns.


INFANTRY
And finally we have arrived to the most insignificant and numerous troops of the Ork army. We have painted 22 infantry bases. You can find common Orks, command groups, Gretchings, Nobz, and...yes! Board Boyz! (our favourites).


Nobz bases. They have a showy crest and wear heavy armors.



It is always nice to have Painboy and a Mek close to you in the middle of the battle. This have some Gretchins too.


This base contains a command gruop composed by: on Mek, one WarBoss, one Shaman, one Standard Bearer (que love the freehand) and a Painboy


We have wanted to compare the size of the models with a 1 Euro cent coin. As you see, they are much more smaller than the common 28 mm scale.

Finally, we arrive to last kind of troops, the smallest one among the whole Orks army: Gretchins! They look adorable with their tiny spikes.


To sum up, a great order full of different models. It's been a nice change for this Christmas.

From Grupo Afternoon want to give to all of you our best whises for this new 2015 that is begining.
Thanks for you time and cheers!
