Yeah, I would base it with olive drab, and then let the grots at it with some odd panels and graffittiitiitiiiii.!

Greens or greys then weather it with browns and rust. top it off with a dusting of snow.

Russian greens and greys, then hit the weathering and the weather.

That is a very nice orky gun platform you have there!

Thanks guys. Lots of votes for green and gray. Interesting.

In other news, I built some other terrain. Ruins and such. I took pictures too. My phone however didn't want to focus on anything though. Replacement pictures will be done and more images will appear.

The ruins will be orange, by the way. Because. .....

REASONS!

Do you want me to orangeize the Ork buildings I'm finishing up to match? They are still being riveted.. Dam slow grots! If so shoot me the base color.

This is how the buildings and ruins will look. That is macharius solar orange dry brushed onto a piece of brown ruin.

For your ork buildings, I don't think they need to match because they aren't going to match the same building material as my other ruins, besides I will have two different groups of ruins, the orange group and the grey group. I'll also have two groups of ork buildings, the ones you're making and then a couple of tan buildings such as this one.

By the way, here are some of the other ruins and recently primed turret.

Want to fight on that.

Very nice.. Yeah mine are super fortified. Though painting to kinda match yours isn't a problem.

Didn't you do a Ork Landing platform?

PS.. getting closer to finishing all the rivets so painting is in the plan for the weekend!

Here is 3 phone camera pics of the Ork Buildings done with their base paint Jobs. I’ve 1 more side each to rivet on the remaining 3 buildings. So I plan to have these all base painted by the weeks end. I’ll probably do some little details, but in general I’ll leave it up to you to dress out to match your table.
These are the small building and big building.


The interior.. The floors are tall enough to accomidate a dread.

Here a couple of blurry shots that hopefully show you the scale

Those are awesome! I can't wait to get some battles in on that terrain. How tall is that larger building?

A bit over 12 inches tall. There is a ' Store' building that is in the middle between these 2 ( sloped roof ) . A larger building that is the same height but a bit longer front and what I call the ' Garage which is really long and has a ' garage stall' that is 12 in tall as well.

The zenithal lighting is amazing. Great work.

High praise indeed. I'll be adding some Red Glyphs or general orkish markings to break up the black/whiteness.

Don't feel tied down to red glyphs. The orks on this world are very colorful.

The big problem I have with these is that we will look like talentless hacks. #thankssolar

Wow. Those orky weapon emplacements and terrain loom awesome!

D

Thanks DrCheese.

I think some painting needs to happen soon. Are we settled on olive green and heavily weathered?

I think weathered green is the way to go

Excellent. I will begin that soon but first I have some writing to attend to. Before I can do that though I have a thought I need to post about.

I'm sure many of you have seen all the new pics of the upcoming amazing Tau suits of various sizes. It got me thinking about the overall 40k model environment. Outside of forgeworld titans and things that have been around for awhile now, Tau started off with their neat Riptide suit. Eldar got there super annoying Wraithknight garbage. (both are great models but they ANGER me so much that they are considered monstrous creatures) Any who, Imperial got there ever growing collection of knights and of course chaos can do whatever they want with the Imperial stuff, in addition to the really cool khorne lord of skulls.

That leaves us with a few select groups left. Necrons, surprisingly don't have bigger skeletons, instead they got floating geometric shapes. I wonder what they will get. Tyranids, have gotten some love lately but I was VERY surprised they haven't dropped a real monstrous creature. I am very partial to Tyranids, I have always been a big fan. Personally I have found a lot of the forgeworld tyranid options to be incredibly disappointing. Biotitan is very blah. Bigger venomthrope and the bigger flier, both are very blah. Not only from the rules side but from the model side. I think back to all of the tyranid epic models I had and I feel like most of them have been created except for the dominatrix and that weird slug that had upside down arms and a giant eye ball on a pillar. The name escapes me at the time being.

*insert long pause to meander the internet trying to find old model*

Ah, the dactylis. Man those are weird looking, maybe we don't want those. That is besides the point though. When do the nids get the love? When does the tyranid bioknight show up?

I have also been wondering when the big ork push shows up. That morknaught thing was fun but hardly a knight. I'm not sure we need a wide bodied knight gargant, but I think the orks should have some sort of ramshackle answer to the knight.

What remaining army would you guys be most excited about seeing them fill the "knight" position for?

Sisters of Battle...

"Attack of the 50 foot Woman" is too low hanging a piece of fruit not to pluck!

With machine gun jubblees?

Machine gun jubblies? How did I miss those?!

Let us be mildly serious though. They would never make a knight for the sisters because they already have to replace everything else in that particular production line. I was hoping they would have done something when the Baal Tyranid BA books came out. The sisters were rather prevalent on one of the worlds during that.

Finished all the riveting. Base painting, winterizing then my attempt at graffiti. Not sure I like what I did. I think this is not my forte. They are a lot brighter and whiter in the pic than they are in RL.
Large building



The store front ( due to its sloped top floor )


The garage

All 5. L to R back: Large build. Garage, HQ. Front row: small Build, Storefront.

I’ll probably leave the front buildings undecorated and let Ice do his thing with these. Ice can repaint any to match his board.

Those are looking really fine SL. Like what you did varying the airbrushing across the face of the buildings and the red ornamentation is a really nice touch.

Red building goes faster?! Love the touches, really pops.

Thanks Ya'll... I think I try my luck with making him a skyshield Ork Teleporten Pad. Then try and find a box big enough to send it all in.

Great stuff Solar. Good call on the glyphs and ork gubbins. It is just enough to make it feel orky without going over the top. I'm curious to see what that red looks like in real life.

Some WIP pictures of my ruins. First up some orange.
