Great poses! Those'll be fun to paint!

Gits

Don't they look dangerous! Going to be entertaining to look at. I would personally go with burnas, but get some more opinions.

Here is my first Nob. I don't know why, but all my paints (except good 'ol Boltgun metal) were really watery.




I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the pants, I'll probably go back over with black.
He looks super shiny because I'm not patient enough to wait for my ink washes to dry before taking pictures.
C&C please

A few more thin coats of yellow would make the model oh so much better, regarding the pants try subtle highlighting with chaos black 50/50 codex grey and then highlight again with a small amount of codex grey. Good start, keep up the painty goodness.

I have to agree the highlights are a bit much on the pants but that pose is killer. Maybe a thin wash of sepia over the yellow would make it look alittle dirtier. But thats just my take. I like the dirty look. But keep it up cant wait to see more. I'm doing ork trades also in the GMS if your interested.

Thanks guys.
On the pants, I was just screwing around.
I did use a sepia wash on the yellow in some places, I need to go over again.
Also, Im going to lighten the skin color

dont lighten the skin please!!

sorry haha. i love the yellow/black armor, but they are so bright! something needs to be done and i would say the best way to be to darken the skin, or dirter the yellow as someone said.

maybe paint them more like black orcs, in a much darker skin color?

i do like them thou and i am now subscribed to this blog!

Sorry Sage, I lightened the skin, but gave it a liberal wash of badab black, along with all the yellow, so it looks much better.
Pics tomorrow when I get up, and I will try to finish the second nob tomorrow as well.

okay word, cant wait to see!

Love that armor! It's awesome to see the fist shaking- it looks really cool!

You gotta love orks for their customability.

Will be watching this

All right, Improvements on the first Nob






I know the goffs look bad, I painted them when the yellow was still wet. I'll fix them when I go and paint the second nob.

Looks much better than the wet copy.

We wait with baited breath!

I was gonna suggest some shading on the metallics, but you've already done that, so

Second Nob is here

that 2nd nob looks best! i think the lighten skin really worked out well. keep it up!

what else do you plan to have in your army, any conversions?

I'd love to see a mix of light and dark skin- ork ethnicities?

Diggin it.

I'm going to have a burna sqaud with one mekboy, an AOBR warboss, and a ton of 30 man boyz squads.
I'm going to have the 20 boyz from the battleforce as shootas, and give them a nob w/ pk.

I'm going to have to convert a Waaagh banner, and get 5 more nobz, and another box of burnas.

That is a good idea. I may have some dark skinned orks.

Much better. Your 2nd nob looks fantastic. Keep it up your army is gonna look great.

the boyz i gave you are primed black, hope that isnt a bother?

Thats actually easier for me
I'm going to either paint the three other nobz today, or build my Trukk and Burnas

Here is my third

Very cool looking Nobz and they have great poses. Some of the flames look like the need neatening up, but apart from that they look perfect.

Yeah, I'm going to go back over eventually.

Nice! I love the scheme. Those poses are really good!

I'm either going to build the burnas or paint another nob tonight. (or maybe begin working on the 20 boyz)

Can't wait to see them.

I did one burna, and I build my trukk yesterday. Pics up soon.

wonderful!


you doing any conversions soon?

also do you have any spare burna ork parts? and have you gotten my shipment!
