I started my Ork Armoured Brigade many years ago based on the idea of taking the dusty, desert vehicles from the Mad Max Road Warrior bad guys and smashing them head first into the bikers from Akira, changing out all the crew for green-skinned goblinoids, then jamming the resultant mess into plated Rollerball uniforms.

As a motorcyclist myself back then, the Akira part of that equation always held particular fascination for me, and so one of the first units I ever completed was this Ork bike squad.
But of course, for many hobbyists, a unit like that is never truly finished, and I soon found myself tinkering with it, and dreaming about adding extra models.
Last Christmas one of my amazing sisters very kindly gave me the Forge World Ork Nob Warbiker set as a gift. She had grown up knowing that her older brother was into these weird little science fiction toys, and she knew full well that a gift like that could quite easily be the highlight of the holiday season for me.
So as this Christmas started to approach, I decided it was time to put her gift into action, realise my earlier dreams and add a few more Greenskin bikers to my horde.
Although the set is only really meant to build three bikes, this leaves you with pIenty of spare parts, so I've added a few additional bits and am trying to squeeze out five sleazy riders in total. I've only managed to finished the three shown here so far, but the other two are on their way, so expect another update at some point in the future.
