In 2015 Mad Max Fury Road was released and instantly became my best movie of 2015. I saw it 3 times at the cinema in 2 days. I came away from the movie vowing to finish the Ork Army I had started the previous year but this time Freebooterz were out and Evil Sunz were in (I can be fickle like that). I had already been giving everything a red paint job so it wasn’t a huge leap in terms of painting but it was really all about the modelling opportunities. I wanted to loot everything.

Then Age of Sigmar happened. Games Workshop blew up the Old World and ended my favourite war-game since I was 12. I fell out of the hobby and spent the next year and a bit completely ignoring everything to do with Game Workshop.

In late 2016 Games Workshop released Codex: Genestealer Cults and with it the Goliath Rockgrinder. It spoke to me and I knew I had to loot it. The Fury Waaagh was re-born.

At the start of 2017 I had decided to enter Golden Demon with a Looted Goliath. It took me about 3 months to convert the model and a month to paint it. Aside from the Goliath it’s mostly made up of a Wazbom Blastajet kit and Mek Gunz bits. The Grot Riggers are from the Forgeworld Grot crew set and the boyz are a kitbash between warbikers and boyz (because Orks on Da Fury Waaagh don’t wear shirts).

You can see a gallery of pictures (mostly from my Instagram) showing the project from completion of the model (I have no pictures of the build sorry) throughout the entire painting process. The model didn’t make the first cut (but to be fair 40k vehicle is a harsh category dominated by walkers) but it drew a big crowd at Golden Demon.
