Beautiful Ork. Great muted khaki and rust.

Do you use forgeworld powdering stuff? is it worth it? Or just stippling brown/washes?

[edit; always read the posts. My rust answer lies here http://thepaintingcorps.blogspot.com/2010/06/friday-quick-tip-painting-rust-in-two.html in your blog that you were recommending. thanks for sharing your minis and your tips!]

Gave a new rust technique a go, for more check the TPC post!

That warboss is......amazing!

So just what have I been up to lately you might be asking, I was keeping a lid on it until I made some progress, well progress has been made and I thought I could get some good feedback from the community on him! I call him "Shermun":





And he will be GLORIOUS!

The idea is simple, Tank with Legs! The execution is where the fun begins. I have been pushing my limits so far with scratch build and am currently waiting on a Deff Dread to rip to pieces for spare parts . The walker in the bottom right of the concept sketches is basically what I'm after, but with a lot more detail work.

I'm learning a TON about scratch building already but I have to learn faster if I'm going to have this guy finished by August 21st. Oh yeah, that armor test in my last post is for this guy, and he'll be going into the Demon at Baltimore! Go big and all that

I would love to hear initial thoughts to him so far. He's got a LONG way to go, and all the input I can get from you experience scratch builder types would be greatly appreciated!!

Oh boy, this a really cool concept. And your execution of it is going along greatly!

What category/ies will Shermie be in?

Shermun= awesome.

sketch looks pretty cool , be awesome to see how it turns out .

Thanks for the early shermun comments ^_^. He's still got a LOT of work to do yet, and I'm stalled at the moment waiting on my deff dread to get here. Should be here in the coming day(s) as it was a flub on the part of the retailer I ordered from. Luckily though, they're sending something else along to make up for the mistake .

I'm not quite sure what category Shermun will be in just yet. Maybe folks will have some suggestions to that front as I finish him up!

For now, I've decided to work on the Warboss that was pushed aside as I came up with the new project :p. Here he is in his finished glory:



And another shot with all the boyz for good measure:



I'm really loving my new photo tent! More on Shermun or whatever else I get to in good time!

Nice, the star really brings the model out. Ugh, just a question, is shermun IG or Orks?

I like the Shermun so far.

cool you're painting could do well in golden deamon i bet

Shermun will be an orky construct. Genrul Pattun will be pokin his head out of a hatch .

Thanks for the comments, the white is definitely the main accent color for the orks. There just wasn't much space for using it on the warboss model unfortunately.

As for the demon, I hope to compete in the North American GD this coming August!

For more on how I painted the warboss check here on The Painting Corps.

good luck then

A new side project while I wait on my deff dread for Shermun...

Great Job!

Love the smoothness in the skin and fabrics. of the Orks

Pretty cool grey_death... looking forward to seeing that one develop. Your orks look great... I just love that Black Reach war boss... such an expressive figure.

Amazing orks!

Ok, sooo...I have no control over my modeling ADD...

I present the first Lance of the 22nd Avalon Hussars RCT:



Write up on how I painted them in the near future on TPC!

Are those three Awesome's? like the Atlas

From left to right:

Dragon, Awesome, Zues, Atlas

I like the atlas.

Awesome and Zeus are the best ones!

Any update on the Khorne Lord?

i've been working my way though this thread and its just awesome sauce with a hint of basil.. Just some really cool stuf here from a bit of everything. Complete ADD. haha

Wow....Your Modelling ADD is worse than mine!

After Gamesday I knew I'd have some new inspiration to work with. So I decided to start a new project, one specifically for painting contests this time instead of doing double purposed gaming/high quality paint. I hit up the hobby store, bought two blocks of wood and got to work on one with the dremel. Added some green stuff and started pressing broken up rocks I found outside into it and molding the greenstuff down with my shapers and sculpting tools. The model was cleaned up for the pin, I've decided to just sacrifice a pin vice bit and drilled as far down into the block as I could while still keeping enough for the models foot, flipped the bit around and slid the smooth end into the models foot with a bit of super glue for it to adhere with. Sliding the other end into the pin vice again, it makes a great hand hold that will be fantastic for painting. I primed the model with grey and gave it a quick source lighting with white spray paint. The base is still drying but I'm already really happy with it. Lots to come for this one

You have the absolute worst modeling ADD ever. And that's why I love watching the progress of each of your pieces.

QFT.

But I do for some reason now like the looks of Beastmen.

If only I could paint fur...

Heh, thanks guys. The ADD will never subside, to the detriment of my army builds.

I've always had a soft spot for the Beastmen, I just never really felt the draw to make an army of them. Mostly because I have only as of last year purchased any fantasy stuff en masse. Maybe this will get me cracking on my fantasy chaos stuff more .

I'll see about doing some step by steps for the fur, lots of pics along the way should help write the article. Keep checking TPC, it might pop up as a quick tip!
