That looks great Ice!

Thanks. Here is a shot with another piece.

Very nice. The color is even better when you zoom in. What color did you use to drybrush it with?

All this wonderful terrain is making me feel guilty about the stacks of terrain I have unpainted...

D

Those two ruins were dry brushed with different colors actually. The one on the left was done with a dark brown dry brush first. The one on the right was done with balor brown first which is more of a yellow. After that both were dry brushed with solar macharious orange. Then white.

Nothing to fancy but I think they turned out pretty good.

Thinking I'll repaint the buildings to closer match. I'm not liking how white /bright they turned out. I think the Mephiston red markings against the white/ snowy color makes them too cartoonish.

Nice ork buildings! Very spiky.

Great looking terrain!

Thanks guys.

Painting on the last primed ruin is under way. I hoping to have it done this weekend. Then it's on to the green gun emplacement.

I think it's needs an appropriate ork name. Suggestions?

More ruins!

Very ruiny!

I like .. work progress's on the Ork ruins. I'm repainting to more closely match, though it won't be exact.

I dig what you're doing with those buildings... Not only the ruins, but the Ork buildings as well !!!

Thank you very much guys. I started up on the ork turret today. I think I finally agreed on my olive green. Once it dries it'll be time for some damage and rust and lots of washes. I'll keep you posted, per usual.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Here are some updated WIP pics. My plan is to get the first few layers of paint down on everything, then go through and paint on the damage, then wash the whole thing a couple of times.

Thoughts so far?

Very orky in an Ice Angel kind-of-way.

Thanks. I think.

Oooh, I like the orange additions you made. Always a fan of the bright colors! I do worry a little that the main green might be too bright, but the washes should take care of that.

Looking great!

That orange does remind me a lot of your astral claws are you going to name your orks the Astral Klaws now?

I managed to get a small game in today. We played a sentry game. He had four killa kans protecting the ork turret. I brought in a team of specialist to disable it. The alarm was triggered (thanks kvothe) and the reinforcements began to arrive. Time was short. The elite team applied some serious damage, but was it enough?



These were the final moments before the ork horde arrived. Mortifex and plasma cannon jaska kept them at bay but the marines were forced to retreat. 7 hull points were taken away from the turret.

We shall see if it will silence the deadly device once and for all.

Nice story for a little game.

Nice terrain. Nice orky gun. Nice battle idea.

In conclusion. Very nice.

That Ork emplacement is looking great .

D

Excellent.. like the gun turrent

Nice terrain!

Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun. I think we are planning on playing the same scenario again but with some more refined rules. I'll keep you posted.

GAH! Where did the time go?

Despite my lack of posting the work has continued. Not necessarily on the turret, but instead on a group of carnifexes that recently arrived at my house. I need to pin some arms and then prime them. First I need to find a freaking paper clip in this house! Pictures will soon follow. My carnifex brood is now up to seven, ringing in at around 1100 points. Mostly dakkafexes but a couple others to spice things up. As effective as dakkafexes are in game, they have to be the least attractive of the lot.

I have manage to play quite a few games lately, not of 40k, but of xwing. I do really enjoy that game. I keep telling myself that i should repaint some of the ships, but I think to myself. I already have a ridiculous amount of things that need to be painted, why repaint something that is already painted. Any ways, I hope you are all doing well. I have really been loving the new Tau stuff, good thing I sold my Tau all those years ago. When the new Tyranid stuff hits the shelfs though, I may get in trouble with the wife when the boxes start arriving.

Same mixed feelings with my X-Wing stuff... :\

Ice pasted me in X-Wing Wednesday.

X-wing really appeals to me as a game, partly because the prepainted ships won't interfere with all my 40k hobby....

Are the x-wing ships really shodderly painted then? I know I shouldn't expect much from prepainted, but...
