Nice orks I like the bullet hole details well done.

Been looking through the thread to get some ideas for my renegade tanks (ork spikes are so nice!) and I just loved the looted Vanquisher made into a battlewagon. Was epic!

I've only painted one Ork in my life (I still have pretty much all of the Orks that came with the 2nd edition box unpainted) and here it is:


Was made by Dakka member ChaosBubbles but I needed an Ork for a Facebook competition so I managed to 'liberate' it for the event.

My girlfriend loves to paint Orks as they're great for doing skin tones on. She's only painted a handful of miniatures and only started a short while ago and she has already won some prizes (She came first in a Beginner comp with a Chaos Gothic Marine).


She won third place against some very seasoned painters with this one. It's her tenth mini.


This is her latest Ork completed.

Needless to say, I am quite proud of her and she puts my painting to shame :(

Abut to clout someone with the imperial eagle... I like

Infiltrator: Those models are amazing but there is one point of critique. Grab a pin vice and drill out your gun barrels. Then your amazing models will be amazing +1!!! I really does add a lot to have the barrels drilled, looks more realistic.

Here is my first painted ork vehicle. I'm glad I started on something small. The bike was lots of fun to paint and I developed a few techniques to make it look better IMO. After doing the mud wash it was still missing something so I decided to try battle damage. I have never been a huge fan of rust. No proppa ork would allow his weapons to get rusty. They break much sooner than that. This was my first attempt at damage (also Hardlining?). I think it came out pretty ace.

PS. for some reason I always get excited about getting a model painted and forget to drill the barrels before the pics. oh well.

hey because you guys are really good at converting and painting for my first ever conversion i was thinking of taking of a broadside head and sticking a grot there poking his arms and head out, is it a good idea?

That actually sounds like great idea. you could use it as a Killa can or something. You should start a thread about this.

Your avatar is awesome BTW , welcome to Dakka.

sweet thanks, but how do you post a thread again i did a two days ago but now i forgot for some reason

Freshly painted:

Luna, your Kans are awesome. I'm having a nightmare with mine, they look like a blobby mess. I keep threatening them with paint stripper but they don't take any notice, just sit there looking at me with their stupid blobby faces.

Man, I can't laugh harder than this. ... OMG STOP!

Yes, your KILLA-KANZ look cool, what happened to the weapon-gore you were going to add though?

I am having a hard time keeping track of what thread I am in these days... I think I left my brain somewhere.

A wash won't work on gore here is my recipe for convincing gore beastial brown red gore blood red then a red ink it must be ink or it will take a lot of coats of paint.
Your killa kans rock

Oh, alright then...pulled from my Dakka gallery page.

Taken from a battle report I'm working on - AOBR Nobz, some light conversion, and a Pain Boy:









Sorry about the terrible focal length...still working on that.

She's now working on an old school Gretchin (from the 3rd ed box set)

Is that vallejo paint ( red ink? ) on the sword?

LunaHound wrote:Is that vallejo paint ( red ink? ) on the sword?

Nah. She does use Vallejo colours sometimes but not on this one. It's pure GW. I think she used a base of Macharius Orange and then Blazing Orange and Fiery Orange.

Shes got skillz thats for sure. Love the cell shaded/comic look on Orks.
