Space Orks

[chinchito]

Hi guys, hope this is the right place to ask this

I was searching through my parents loft, looking for my miniatures case from when I was younger. Alas, it seems it fell foul to the 'Seeing as you don't live here anymore, we're chucking your stuff' clearout they had a few years back.

However, I did come across my brothers (small) collection of Orks and was wondering if anyone could help me identify them? I reckon they are from the RT era but this was way before I showed an interest in the hobby. There seems to a squad of riders, various Orks and a buggy.

There is also what I think is an Ork Dreadnought although that is currently in bits getting the horrible yellow paint job stripped from it

:D

So are you going to clean them up and start a new Waagh?

[chinchito]

I'm not sure. I'm working on some Dark Eldar and Chaos Space Marines at the moment, so they'll probably sit back in the box for a while.

Are there any differences painting the metal miniatures as opposed to the plastic?

[Wolfshade]

Not that I have noticed. Both require a nice base coat before paiting. I have noticed though that hte metal minatures seem to chip more readily than the plastic ones.
