WAAAAAGH! 90’s Style

Welcome to my Blog


So iv been war gaming on and off since the early 90's my first venture into the world of war gaming was Epic Space Marine from GW which moved quickly on to 40k Second edition of which still holds fond memories for me. The colours, the models, the White Dwarf mags of the day all take me back to my childhood.

Since then like most who venture into the dark depths of war gaming I dipped my toe in and out. However for the last 5 years my toes have been submerged and I'm in above my neck. Within these last 5 years I have discovered many different gaming systems, games such as War Machine, Bolt Action, Kings of War to mention a few. However it is my newly kindled love for the 40k universe that has prompted me into starting a Blog. After many many years of only ever collecting Blood Angle Space Marines for 40k I have decided to go to the green side and am going to start from scratch a new Space Ork Army.

So... inspirations for my new army will be my love for the 90's and all the fun Orks brought to the table back then. Still to this day I long to have an Ork army that is as amazing as Jervis Johnsons legendary Orks of the early days of 2nd edition.

This Ork Horde comes straight out of WD issue 166 the nostalgic battle between the Blood Angles and Orks, It was this battle report that got me collecting Blood Angles! Now all these years later its the same report that is getting super hyped for some Orks.

This second picture comes from the same period and gives a better feel as to what I am aspiring to. My focal points to my collection will be the Goffs and Bad Moons. The trick will be trying to get new models to give the same vibe as seen here. Of cause with the new models of today I will never be able to fully achieve the comical feeling of the Orks back in the 90's but I will give it a damn good go.

Really looking forward to this project. I will be up dating this Blog on my progress. Hope you have enjoyed a small trip down memory lane, and until next time WAAAAAAAAGH!
