Hobby: Ur Onceboss

Currently still in the process of working on a wide-ranging scope of different Jornath lore posts, focusing heavily on the Dramatis Personae, and the Regiments making up the Imperial Defense. While I'm still piecing all those lovely words together, I thought I'd continue to show off a few more of the minis I've gotten around too. This time we have an actual participant in the Battle for Jornath, Ur Onceboss. Ur was a Snakebite Warlord who was a part of the Ork forces to land on Jornath proper during the second wave of the invasion, following the break up of the precursor kroozer which heralded the beginning of the ground war. Ur's Warband fought in the Kulan Exclusion zone, which saw him deep in the thick of the early wars most intense combat encounters. When J.S.O.B. and the Sons of Medusa began their targetted raids on Ork commanders following the containment of the attempted breakout onto Nizajain Isle, Ur was one of the Task Force's primary HVT's. The Astartes strike, left Ur's warband totally annihilated, and the vicious warboss missing his left hand. Left not only physically and mentally scarred, Ur had become a social pariah within the traditionalist society of the Snakebites, causing him to wander the scrap cities of the Ork landing zone looking for mercenary work. He would eventually find purpose in the employ of Bonebeard Blakkstaff, whose powerful magic and possession of the strangest jet-black choppa Ur had ever laid eyes on convinced the Once-boss to act as the psykers personal bodyguard. Soon placing him to the center of numerous more Imperial assassination raids.

Ur is constructed from the old Mordhiem Pit Ogre, with multiple boss poles, a head and arm from the Nobz frames

Hobby: Deffskullz Battlewagon

In preparation for a mighty apocalypse game in the Jornath narrative campaign. I figured I really ought to apply some paint to the various heap of Orkoid bodies and vehicles littering my room.  

The model is the Boneyard Truck from Ramshackle Games, that I've added some coffee stirs, plastic canvas and Niz the friendly hype grot too to bring the mini some more character. I wanted to try out the GW technique for doing rust now, with Typhus Corrosion/Ryza Rust Dry/ Runefang and compare that to how I've been attempting rust in the past. All told the thing came together quite quickly and I'm happy enough with the results. After all, it IS an ork vehicle so it's not going to be on the table particularly long.

Just a short (not quite so wordy) one today, I'll have the post up for the apoc game up hopefully by the end of the month and two other large-scale Jornath batrep's up between then and now.
