Warboss Kor Sparktoof felt his raiders were lacking in speed, so he’s expanded his gang. Introducing “Kor’s Speedee Boyz!”

In the previous 2nd Edition Army Challenge (Mark IV) I was able to put a dent in my backlog of unpainted Rogue Trader orks in the form of “Kor’s Ork Raiders,” an up-and-coming Ork warboss and veteran of the Rynn’s World Campaign. This year I aim to surpass that amount of painting (at least in terms of sheer physical weight of models). I plan to paint 2128 points of metal space orks as part of the 2nd edition Warhammer 40k Army Challenge (Mark V). This year I will expand on the army from the previous challenge, focusing almost entirely upon fast-attack vehicles, with a couple mobs of specialist heavy infantry for variety. This new project is comprised of 26 vehicles, 14 foot troops, and 4 bases of snotlings.

The list is legal, though I have no idea how playable it might be. After this challenge — assuming I make it to the end — I will be well over halfway through my ork stockpile. Besides 2 ork dreadnought stragglers, I will have painted all my ork vehicles. After this, all that remains are legions upon legions of ork boyz. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself.

Based upon my experience in the previous challenge, I’ve broken the painting into 6 blocks, 1 for each month. This assumes all goes well and I needn’t use a mulligan. I’ve indicated my planned painting blocks on the starting photo. I’m excited to see how much I’m able to accomplish of this list. At this point I feel it can be done, and at the minimum I should be able to make the 200 points/10 models per month requirement totaling 1000 points by the end of the challenge. But, like Kor Sparktoof, I’m aiming for the stars!
