Ironjawz army

The colour scheme for the whole army was inspired by Grimgor Ironhide and the classic Black Orc colour scheme from the Old World. Black, beaten metal with white markings and a very dark skin tone for the Orrucks themselves. Ive always found that particular sub-faction very interesting, and this was a fun way to explore…

Ironjawz Ardboys

The core of the army are the Ardboys, tough and reliable Orrucks that are shockingly disciplined for their kind. I went with the classic Black Orc colour scheme of the Old World. I like the striking black metal and white markings, giving the unit a pretty dark vibe overall. The Total War: Warhammer series provided…

Ironjawz Brutes

Along with the Blood Bowl range, these might be some of my favourite Orc related sculpts. They’re massive, muscular and aggressive, and better proportioned than some of the older Orc kits. I had a ton of fun both building and painting them. I’m a big fan of the massive Klaw the Boss is armed with,…

Ironjawz Gore-gruntas

In keeping with the Black Orcs but bigger and meaner theme of the faction, the Ironjawz cavalry unit is a massive beast of muscle, fur, and tusks, like some kind of Dire-Boar. I wish the models were a little more boar-like, but I still like them, especially the size. They look like the type of…

Ironjawz Megaboss

Leading the Ironjawz army is a Megaboss, a creature of brutal strength and impressive size, even among the Orcs/Orruks they lead. The model is nearly the size of a Dreadnought, a broad, thickly muscled brute of a character that has quite the presence on the table, towering over all but the largest monsters and easily…

Ironjawz Warchanter

I love how fun this character is, taking the idea of an inspiring bard and making it into something that fits with the brutal violence of the Orrucks. They give me a bit of a Mad Max vibe, a welcome comparison in my eyes. I’m a big fan of the pose, I like how expressive…

Ironjawz Weirdnob Shaman

A characterful and unique hero among the Ironjawz, this model does a great job of showcasing the strange presence of Weirdnobs, the shaman/caster of the army. The large leather shawl was a lot of fun, giving me a chance to practice the process on a larger surface than usual, and giving the Shaman a different…

Underworlds Morgok’s Krushas

While this season of Underworlds may have been a bit quiet what with the global pandemic, the warbands for Direchasm have been wonderful. I’ve been painting a warband here or there between projects, and I was quite excited for another group of Greenskins, this time the bigger and meaner Brutes. I decided to keep the…

Ironskull’s Boyz

My second favorite Warband, and easily one of the most played in my friend group, the Ironjawz! I haven’t painted many Orcs in my career, so this small group was a good way to dip my toes into the joy of Greenskins. I used a lot of Athonian Camoshade and Beil-Tan Green over Karak Stone…
