So, I picked up some epic scale Warhammer 40,000 orks before they vanished from the Games Workshop web store. Not Just a basic set of their infantry and a set of vehicles.
Knowing how custom orks can be, it wasn't hard to justify kitbashing some of the leaders and other vehicles to fill them out.
I don't plan on using them in Epic 40k games, as such. So, instead I've styled the selected forces out of the 2007 Ork Codex, which was the last one I picked up.
Right now, I don't have much finished. But, I have enough that I was able to cobble together a Speed Freaks war band and a Bad Moons army, each at the bare-bones minimum of 999 points.
Also, I had some other standard 40k bits sitting around and was inspired to make a Stompa kitbash, which was pretty easy to do with the right Dark Age add-ons. I also have the starting point for a Gargant.
It's not completely done, yet, as I have to add some details, but I have it with the group for the Bashers to guess at what parts I used to put it together.

So, the Spead Freaks army has a ways to go, yet.
-Evil Suns-
(HQ = 123) Warboss with War Bike, Big Choppa, Ammo Runt, Cybork Body and 'Evy Armor
(Trp = 460) Nobz Bikers x10 with Stikk Bombs
(Trp = 159) Slugga Choppa Boys with modded Trukk
(Trp = 127) Shoota Boys with Trukk
(Elt = 130) Stormboyz with Nob
Point break downs upon request.
Right now, I have the Biker Warboss done, as well as the Slugga/Choppa Boys. The Trukk actually will go with the Shoota Boys when they're done.

Close-up of the Red Shirts. They don't get the reference, because they're just into red going fast. ;)
The group consists of 12 boyz overall, one with a big shoota, a nob, and all the rest.
Foreshadowing: there was a mix-up about the naming convention with the other mob, and they called themselves the Red Shorts. The Nob was an easy mod, but I decided against doing that with all of the Epic Kommando figures.
The Trukk in this group actually belongs to the Red Shorts. Theirs will be have a reinforced ram, Stikk chukka, and extra armor plates, as well as the obligatory red paint job.

Right now, I only have the Bad Moons Warboss finished.
Here's the breakdown of that army:
(HQ = 100) Warboss in Mega Armour
(Trp = 360) Meganobz x9
(Tspt = 90) BattleWagon (unmodded)
(Trp = 335) 'Ard Boyz x30 with rokkit launcha and x2 big shootas and a Nob carrying a big choppa (inclusive)
(Trp = 114) Gretchin x28 with Grotprod weilding Runtherds x2
Yeah. I have a ways to go, yet.

Well done! Those are awesome.

This is so cool!

Update on the Stompa.
This is the completed one. Now to finish the rest of the ork figures.
In combat with a few recognizable pieces. Flash and natural lighting.
