Some of you may have seen the blog for this elsewhere on the internet, but I thought it was time to come crawling out of the blog and share the finished pics with the masses.

Group Shot


Group Shot with my goblin army.

Very, very nice. Well painted and excellent looking force. How solid does it play?

Great paint scheme and execution. Its a yellow army i actually like hehe!

Great looking, cohesive force. Your yellows look especially nice, what's your recipe?

Nice colors and a very unified look. The metal especially is incredible.

Where are the shields on the 'Ard Boys from?

Very nice,you have mastered my lifes bane,damn yellow paint!

Brilliant!, orcs and goblins was the first fantasy army that i did. 8)

I painted some black orcs with yellow and black armour as well, and its quite a cool scheme. i post some pics but their packed away before we move house.

Superb force! The skin tones are just gorgeous. What's your secret?

Wow these look great what were the steps you took for the skin I love it!

Any orks (yes I know those ones are spelled Orcs) are good to me! And those look pretty damn good. Nicely done

That's a pretty good army! Especially like how you highlighted the yellow.

1. Using Vallejo game colour Leather brown, paint the area you wish to be wood.

2. Mix a small amount of VGC bone into VGC leather brown and paint along the centre length of the shaft. For flat areas, just feather blend the mix towards the top.

3. Mix flesh ink and a touch of black ink (not wash) together and using a small pointy brush, paint wobbly lines along the length. Occasionally add a dot to represent a knot in the wood and have your wobbly lines go around it.


HaywireGrenade has done this technique on his Tomb Kings It's quick, fast and effective.

Great looking mob! The group shot looked really good!

Finished my doomdiver last night, I'm really pleased with it's movement tray base.

Lovely work, once again!

Always loved the goblin doom driver,real nice work hope to see more!

Man that bright yellow is breathtaking! It really catches the eye as an army in that group shot. Great painting.

I agree totally with human. It really makes your army.

Fantastic.

Dis git iz called Gruffzag, he is too old and slow to join WAAARGH GAZROT, so I az put him in charge of da rock lobba.

Dis stoopid snot thought calling him Peggy da pegleg was a good idea...

Beat da grot,WAAAAGHHH!!!!Nice really still liking the yellow!

Aw, how cute, the pegleg is beating on the snotling.

They're beautifully done! Wow!

Drivebybaptism gave me an idea over on the golden throne...

just for giggles...

Just finished building the Black Orc Big Boss Battle Standard Bearer (try saying that after few pints of fungus brew).

I'm really happy with the conversion. It had to be bigger then my other banners, and the big boss needed a suitably large trophy on the banner. What better then chaos giant head! I used cut down metal coat hanger to create a larger standard, it came together like a dream after I'd drilled out the hand and the existing banner top.

The greenstuff banner was made by rolling out greenstuff on a clean wet tile with a wet smooth metal rod. Once it had semi cured, I used a wet craft knife to cut the shape and then with wet fingers I hung it over the coat hanger pole. Easy.

Another thing to note, is the horns on the big bosses helmet. I chopped off the standard ones and switch with different horns to create a new helmet for the big boss to help make him more unique. Was toying with the idea of a single central horn like a rhino, but I went off the idea.

Pics...

Rock lobba and crew are complete. Just like the doomdiver, this model took around a week to paint. A little more then what I anticipated. So I guess the chariot is going to take around the same amount of time.

These look great! Ah, and I didn't realize there was a Fantasy version of the Ork Runtherd. Will have to get 3 and convert them for 40K!

man, i love the look of these models.
makes me wish i had the cash to play fantasy also
