Squiggy Stardust – the Orctober Squig
It’s Orctober, and as my initial plan to model and paint a Warhammer 40,000 scale Ork Spleenrippa has stalled, I fired out this David Bowie inspired Squig. Presenting Squiggy Stardust.
He could lick you by smiling.
Other musical Ork mashup ideas considered were:
- The Notorious S.Q.U.I.G.
- Red Grot Chili Peppers
- Squig Squig Sputniks
- Björk
- Tina Turnork
(Presented there in descending order of cringe. The ones you find most awful were the work of either cheetor, Crooks or AJ.)
This Squig is one of the first models in my collection of Warhammer 40,000 2nd edition Orks, which will include all the Kev Adams and Perry classics. This level of pun will not run through the rest of the project.
Got a suggestion for painful Ork/musical mashup? Stick it in the comments.
Mork Knopfler, Greener Day, Men at Ork and Creedence Clearw-ork-ter Revival (singing their hit song Bad Moonz Rising).
You’re a machine, Crooksy.

Oh oh oh. Metallorka is perfect for Goff Rockers!
Love They Might Be Gargants!

TRIANGLE BOYZ HATES PARTICLE BOYZ
HAZ A WAAAAAGH, TRIANGLEZ WIN!

That is just brilliant.
Not a musical pun but I have just finished up ‘George Orkwell’ for Orctober.
That is brilliant! I’m envious I didn’t think of it. Looking forward to seeing him.
It’s perfect. Everything.

That’s fab painting. Will the rest of the squigs have a pale flesh colour?
Very good. There’s a secondary joke you could do with Mangler Squigs there are they’re covered in CHAIN. A chain that keeps them together.
I’ve got a squig painted in a classic red already. The pale skin was just so it looked more like David Bowie. Though squig consistency is not a requirement for the army, they’ll be whatever colour is needed to complement their owners best.
I’m currently running with the Squigsters of Mercy.

Although I’m totally stealing Squig Squig Sputnik from you.
OK, so I didn’t see this coming. Awesome work, at so many levels.
bjOrk?
Obviously. Didn’t you see the awesome trukk in that one video? :D
Wow! Stunning effort here man!
That’s excellent. I don’t how how – because it shouldn’t – but it works perfectly!
Thank Bowie and his quest to create personas with strong visual identity.
