Looks great. How did you do the rust effect?

Loving the Grot Tank, great job.

The rust effects were done by mixing the forgeworld rust pigment with scorched brown and some paint thinner. I then put small dots of this mix randomly across the model and airbrushed more paint thinner over top of it before it dried. This causes the paint to diffuse in mottled rust colored blotches which I later touched up with bestial brown and more pigment to create a streaky effect. Some of the darker areas also had a wash of catachan green to help cancel out the "redness" of the rust and make it more neutral.

Stunning gz mate!

I love those Grot Tanks and yours is epic, I can't really criticise anything about it - sorry

Congratulations, Joe.

I've had the pleasure of seeing your stuff in person at Showcase and was in complete awe of your Orks.

I also got to play your Forge World IG army at the Massacre earlier this year.

You are definitely deserving of the award. I unfortunately cannot provide any critiques on your work as your far supercede mine.. but this piece as well as the other orks I've seen are amazing.

- makes me want to 'start over' on my Ork Horde!

Grats on the best in show, as far as critiques here's a few:
-Add some contrast in as your piece is honestly very flat.
-Build a base too better mesh with the model and add some depth as it stands the model looks more like it's just laying on a board honestly.
-You want a model too tell a story when your entering it so put some time into that side of it as it will show too the judges.
-Your Weathering was good but maybe look into some really good oil painting guides.

All in all it was a nice piece and grats on that win.

Congratz man

Right On! That is a great model and Paint job!

Gratz man thats a smashing job

I like the hidden joke.


And the paintjob is pretty epic.

That looks like junk, it's all rusty, and worn, and totally messed up, unworkable and impractical, way to tall, it looks shoddily built from scrap garbage and it's completely...

Perfect.
