this is my warboss i finished, been working on him on and off. i dont think you can see but he also has a imperial firsts helmet on his left shoulder and a imperial fist jumppack on his back.

Very cool terrain.

Your waaaghboss is striking, perhaps a level of highlighting and weathering to finish him off?

im going to get my digital camera and post the warboss up with some boyz and the terrain, the camera made the warboss to blurry.

Looks good. I think a good wash and some serious highlights would make your ork boss look great. The terrain looks like it is comming along nicely. Good job.

so im new to painting also, tell me about washes and highlights, i have the general idea but i have never tried it, any good tips? also anyone know how to strip paint? any home products that would work instead of buying something?

Simple Green for stripping paint.

Nice idea on the Rebar. What would also look good is guitar wire. For rebar, I have some nice thick bass guitar strings. I have my son save me his leftovers from when he re-strings.

As for washes and highlights, I can't describe it better than you can watch it on YouTube. I do recommend you check out as many techniques as you can find and try them out on some cheap minis. Some techniques, like drybrushing or highlighing look better on different textures and both look crappy if you do it wrong. And you will do it wrong as painting is an art in and of itself and as such it takes practice. That being said, dipping, airbrushing, spraypainting, antiquing and other techniques all have their place and will help you paint better looking models in a fraction of the time, so look into those too.

Good luck!
