Army Showcase- MBG’s Orky Imperial Guard Leafblower

By Rob Baer | September 27th, 2013 | Categories: Armies on Parade, Imperial Guard, Orks

Welcome to Armies on Parade; Army Showcase where I display (in hopefully good detail) the best of the all great looking armies I’ve featured from major tournaments all across the United States.

If you click on the Army Showcase label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking armies, all at once.
It’s like you were at a major event yourself, all from the comfort of your home or smart phone!  -Enjoy MBG

Recently I had a chance to bust out my Looted Guard and get some quality pictures (and video) of the army.

I have no clue why it took so long to record them in a glorious fashion, but hey sometimes things are just worth the wait I suppose.

You can click on the Looted Guard or Orks labels to see a lot of WIP articles for many of these vehicles, and even the techniques I used to make them.  There are even some articles in my “Hobby Basics” Section on how I painted them as well.

Here is the overall “motor pool” list of what models I have for the army.

I also have a ton of converted Orks and Grots for the army as well, that help complete the overall theme of the army.

  • 1 Ninja Grot Company Commander
  • 1 Inquisitor Meepo (grot in power armor w/ psyhic hood)
  • 2 Company Command Squads w/ Lascannon, 2x Plasma Guns, and Chimeras
  • Two Nine Model Veteran Squads w/ Lascannon 2x Meltas, and Chimeras
  • 1 Ten Model Veteran Squad w/ Three Melta Guns, and Chimera
  • 1 Ten Model Veteran Squad w/ Two Plasma Guns
  • 1 Platoon Command Squad w/ 4 Flamers
  • 10 Psyker Battle Squad Models (mix of Night Goblin, and Crypt Ghoul bits), that can be split to form two squads with grot standins, and Chimera.
  • Extra Special Weapon Models (2x Melta Gunners, and 2x Plasma Gunners)
  • 2 Ten Man Guard Platoon Squads
  • Squadron of Three Converted Hydra Flak Tanks, made from reconfigured Ork Trukks, and Phalanx Cannons- Check them out they are pretty sweet.
  • 2 Converted Vendettas (Deff Koptas) with fold-able helicopter props
  • 1 Leman Russ Execuctioner with Plasma Sponsons
  • 2 Manticores- one with magentized missiles, both have rotating turrets.
  • 5 Custom Objective Markers.

So that’s 9 Looted Chimeras, 2 Looted Manticores, 2 Looted Vendettas, 3 Looted Hydras, and 1 Looted Leman Russ Executioner, oh and lots (like one hundred or so) of Imperial “orky” guardsmen plus special weapons (4 Converted Lascannons, 9 Converted Melta guns, 8 converted plasma guns, and 4 flamers).

It all even fits all nice and neat into a Sabol Division’s worth of foam trays.

Checkout the extreme close-ups below!

Sadly these Orks will no longer Waaaaaaaaaagh for me, as they have a new Warboss to lead them, but they will always be one of my favorite hobby projects. -MBG
