Thanks man! I can feel the Ork taking hold of me!

Snrub wrote:Damn. You got stuck into those guys right quick.

The red nose on the Mad Dok makes it look like he's been snorting a bit of that good ol' fungus coke. Just the sort of thing a proper Mad Dok would do!

Hell yeah I got stuck in! they're so damn cool! ground fungus is a Doc's fave, in fact since he is a Doc I made his nose a bit redder so it looked kinda like he had a cold

Gits as usual you are too kind to me but if I were a wizard I don't know who i'd be? Ganfest? Nerdledore? Nerdy Potter? Nerdlin?

You can really go off people sometimes.......

Looks great, the red tones on the skin really bring him to life.

And nice build on the warboss too

Ummm Monkey I'm sorry for antagonizing you you may want to click away from scrolling down now.......... it's not finished but hopefully enough to annoy you slightly, like blowing on your dogs face

Fracking A dude.... That pain boy looks the tits. Color me excited for this

Which brush should I use dude? if I'm gonna colour you excited it may take a while, you ARE a hefty lad after all but I AM glad you're here for the ride!

O great now you do green skins when you went marine I could stay away but now this I have to comment, damn you it look so damn cool Doc is amazing you have managed to lift out the detail nicely and the almost white coat is a great touch

Now I hate you as I aint even going to bother painting mine as it will feel inferior to this happy now go back to marines o yes if you didn't get it I liked it by the way

The conversion look awesome as well especially the alternative kan fist have we been shopping in China though

Thanks I think LDD glad you like the Doc! I gave him a doctors coat so there's no confusion as to role you gotta paint yours man! it' un-Orky if you don't or I can paint a character for ya? and whaddya mean have I been shopping in China? .....no,.....no I haven't........I've never been to China.......

You know it was a compliment don't you try and suger coat it You can paint a character for me by all means and a how to would be awesome from skin to teeth as yours is spot on I did not actually mean been there just errr purchasing from there nudge nudge

Yes I will paint it as they produce some amazing sculpts have to be one of my favourite Ork producers to be honest, I noticed you got the Kommando bodies they are some awesome looking bits.

Cheers dude nuts! Kommando bodies are great aren't they! and yes I may have obtained some bits from the land of the cheap resin, don't want to waste coin on conversion parts! I can certainly do a tute if you want? and I would like to paint you a character too if you pick one out for me to do! if you don't mind I can do the tutorial on he model you send? that way when you get it back you can see it first hand and see how I do it (and pick it apart )



Now, I did manage to get a couple hours in this morning before work on the Warboss O'MaD and he's coming along Orkingly! his skin is completed and every other colour is base coated and washed, I quite like his pants actually the brown camo suits him!






and there he is so far, now I had a happy find today too I found a box of boyz! I forgot I had been given them a while ago and put them away until I got my bits! so now I implore you to help me kit them out? I'm looking at 10 boyz, 2 with Klaws, and the rest with a pistol and a choppa?

Love the way that commando boss is coming out. Really gritty and fierce.

My question is, does Damo do anything other than paint amazing models?

ughhhhhh how you paint so fast.... stop pls.....



Seriously, dude, that looks fantastic!! I cant wait to see what else you have in store!

(in my most posh English accent ) "God Damn I want to slap you man"

Another one so damn quickly and with tremendous results is this even possible

The only thing I can say is well the base is a bit bland Damn I have only just realised his camo trousers god I thought they were just brown I hate you and your talent

Ok I am going to put something together ( probably a mix of the Kommando body and some things from around the world if you get my jist ) then once I have that done I will send it on to you if thats cool

I gather you are using the spellcrow haul to kit the boyz out then ? did you get the left and right klaw sets ?

Ooo liking the Warboss. Love how where the saw joins the arm, you've made it look like a fairly recent "modification" with the red fleshy detail.

Man alive, that is great - I agree on the raw flesh around the 'bionic' implant, that an excellent yet gruesome idea.

Your basing sucks
(P.S. I need to make myself feel better by giving you some critique )

Coming along nicely. You'll have a full force before you know it at this pace.

Boyz can't actually take a claw, just their nob. You get one nob per squad, min size of 10 boyz.

Lol thanks everyone! yep, I do tend to get a bit done when i'm in the mood. plus I feel like the last 6 months or so i've been neglecting my models and my hobby friends :-( so I want to really do something fun for myself and to keep the dream alive for you guys as you've been there from when I started and seem to like my stuff (and me for some reason!)

I wish I could video myself in real time so you can see how I paint 'so fast' it doesn't take long and it's pretty straight forward once you put in in words and pictures. My Warboss went from primed to the pics above in less than 3 hours today, although a squad will challenge me :-)

O great now he tells its takes no time at all to paint this little pieces of art really lie tell us it was a real ball ache to the point of pulling your hair out makes us feel you had to at least struggle a little come on man

P.S. Got the PM mate thanks will sort it soon

Wow they are both looking fantastic Damo, those combats are amazing

List is finished and flying round the world as I type

Squads are a challenge because of how monotonous they quickly get. With marines it's 5 or 10 Max. Orks OTOH are 12 minimum and you probably don't want so few in a mob.



Also you can paint me with a paint roller. It'll make me giggle

WAAAAAAAAAGH!

I think that's all I can really say isn't it! especially as i've just finished the Warboss of my Ork force and he looks just how I wanted him to, which is big, mean, nasty, dirty, camo'd, and NOT to be trifled with

I've nailed how I'll do the weapons and i'll do some different camo among them all when I get into them, maybe some Glamoflauge?

hope you approve of him guys and next I'll have to actually spend time assembling some boyz so i've more to paint

here he is in all his nastiness






So?.......

Yeah, he's pretty ok. He does fit theme theme remarkably well.

Why is it that your faces (and head in general) are always so good? They're always really eye catching and they always look fantastic.

It's one of the things i've noticed most about your work, Damo. The first thing I'm always drawn too is the face.

Those orks look fantastic!

I'll go back to lurking now...

O great you even did the base now what left us nothing we can complain about

Looks great and nice choice of head as it actually looks like he is enjoying slamming that chainsaw in someones face

Yeah he looks pretty happy with himself doesn't he! :-) nothing better to start the day than by ramming a spinning rotary blade through someone to really get the 'blood pumping'

the thing with the faces, it's something I always have at the back of my mind I read that faces are the focal point of any model and that they display the character and soul and feeling of a model. so I've always wanted the heads to be good because I like to have a feeling of each model and their own personality when I paint, that's why I choose to have plenty of bare heads even though tactically it's not an excellent choice. I do spend more time on the faces and usually do them first so it drives me to make the whole model meet the standard and feel I want :-)

Oh yeah LDD I based him too lol and eye. lurker eh! we'll bring you outta the shadows!

Haha, yeah - what LDD said - damn you and your basing skills...

Love your warboss Damo. You've nailed it solidly.

Not bad I suppose.

Who am I kidding, bloody amazing job matey. And LDD is so right, you swine.

Now I am silly quick but I can,t get close to this standard. Amazing bud

Come On Cam you have skills too mate plus you build stuff super fast ........ Damn you all

Very Orkish! I love them Nerdy!

Got a bunch of assembled Orks for you today! I wanted to use a good mix of SC parts and GW so I can intersperse them seamlessly into the army

10 Boyz and a Nob and 5 Nobz








and Nobz. I armed these guys with 2 Klaws and the rest with slugga and choppa mainly because I didn't want to obscure the cool details on the bodies and I tried to amend the size difference between the SC and GW ones by adding some plasticard under the smaller ones and giving them more dynamic and 'larger' poses and getting their arms more splayed so they appear bigger but just as 'Ard due to them having more Bionics as the Cybork embellishments attest to. any thoughts on my execution of these guys please speak up!






So thats where I'm at with them, only have to add some greenstuff berets on them and depending on what you all say I may have to convert some of the Nobz pistols to represent more powerful wysiwyg weapons? then it's prime time and then it's time to see how damn fast I can paint 11 boyz and 5 Nobz!

I just wonder what theme these guys will have. Just camo or are you drawing anything from the canon.

Glad you've moved to orks, I couldn't handle your reds.

They look exellent to me.

Love the posing, all very dramatic and dynamic, which is perfect for orks. Really don't like the static poses they normally have. (must sort my own out!)

One way of distinguishing your nobs as well is to make them "darker" when you paint them up. Supposedly as orks mature and move up the ranks their skin darkens, and hardens. Now with your brilliant paintwork, you have two choices, either make the nobs a bit darker, or make the boys a bit lighter. I think since your wonderful skintones are working so well, maybe when you paint the boys make them a little pailer. Just food for thought.

Model wise they look brilliant.

Damo you could probably throw gak at a canvas and it'd entice us back.

Yep, need to see this. Jump to it Damo

Some savage looking Orks there Nerd can't wait to see what they're like painted!

Thanks guys, good idea with the darker skin! I was thinking of perhaps making them slightly darker by mottling the skin?

Nice combos managed to mingle GW and SC seamlessly like the cut down Klaw arm might borrow that if I can bring myself to cut it down
