Besides declare Waaaagh on the other gaming tables, of course?
Bad Orky gorilla jokes aside, recently I decided to set up all my Ork models to take some pictures for the blog and prep for an upcoming Apocalypse game. As it turns out I have a bunch of models, an embarrassing large amount actually, so many in fact that I may be feeling little self conscious about it (lols don’t judge me).
