Loving it at the moment

What colours did you use for the skin?

Pretty much every green I had available

If you tell me which Ork you're talking about I can tell you

Some more stuff I'm working on. A runtherd, a Nob biker and the Big Mek again. He's not done yet, but I'm getting there.

Lovin that speeder bike.

Finished the Dok....
Next up should be some more vehicles I hope....

Love this stuff! I really enjoy how every single model is an individual including skin tone! It's something I'm striving for in my Ork Horde. I noticed your use of WWII German and American soldier helmets on some of da boyz. What scale are they? I didn't see it anywhere on the thread. I'd love to use something like this on some of my boyz. Thanks.

Always love your conversions AUR .

they are always so original and unique.

To be honest, I have no idea . I got them fron a friend's bitzbox and I mostly use them with my Tankbustas to tie the unit a bit more together.

Drop me a line whenever you're in Baden-Württemberg

So...it's been quite a while, but I'm finally back to painting. There's still tons of unpainted models on my shelf so I thought I get back to my Orks. I still have an unpainted Stormboy squad, a nob squad, a stompa and Valkyre to work with. Here's the first Ork I've painted in months.

I like.

I would personally have used a different colour for the lenses, since green is so prevalent on the model. Also perhaps some camo black face/body painting?

@MGS: I might change them to red and blue. I'm not sure at the moment.

Another small update:

- I've paintend a few more Nobs, os now I can field a full squad. Bases will get done some time, but I still have so much unpainted infantry lying around, it'll have to wait.

- I also finished 3 more tankbustas, now all I need is one more and I can field the full squad.

- 4 different Runtherdz

- I painted my first Stormboy. When I started this army I painted every single Ork with a red vest, but I prefer to use more browns and grey now and keep the red paint on the vehicles and special equipment.

- I don't think I've shown you my Badrukk yet

- And a new shot of my Warboss. I recently did some minor enhancements on the paintjob


Next up are either the other 9 Stormboyz or that Vakyrie I want to loot.

Simply amazing everything I want my Orks to be and more.

Guys, I need some help.

I'm working on a looted Valkyrie right now, but I'm not really sure how to proceed. All I got so far is part of the main body and the cockpit. I'm going to leave the cockpit open, mostly because the clear plastic won't fit over the Ork pilot and the gaps will be filled of course. I have only a few ideas so far and thought I ask around here.

- I wanna equip it so that I can use it as normal fighta booma, in case I run into people who don't to play against an Ork transport flyer. So I will add gunners in the doors and then I need two more big shootas somewhere, maybe even as some kind of turret, I'm not sure yet. Though I'm going to plunder a few bitz boxes for that, 'cause I'm actually out of stuff I can use for big shootas.

- The rear hatch will be glued in place opened, with a parachuting Ork about to jump out and maybe a Grot pushing a bomb out, I'm not sure about that yet.

- the wings will be all torn and wired back together. Maybe I'll even cut one off and put it back on to get the right feeling on the model.

Any suggestions?

Make a sloppy Valkyrie and then just put bits and scraps all over it. Then swap all the guns with ork ones.

Just want to say your painting skills have improved drastically during the past 8 months.

1. Thank you.
2. Quite funny actually, since apart from the few guys above, I haven't painted anything in over over 2 months. Seriously, I just used a lot of the washes, which works wonders for Orks.

Not helping. I'm doing that anyway but that's not enough.

So, I've been working some more on the Valyrie and some other stuff.

I still can't figure out where I could attach two more big shootas, so I might just leave them off. I also switched out the guns in front and I've been working on the wings. I now decided againt glueing the hatch in place, but I did build a paraork. Thing is, he's so large, there's no room left in the back compartment for anything else once I glued in the gunners.





My Squiggoth also got a little work. I added a gunner and a "steering wheel" for the big hungry dinosaur. I wanted to use this Gnoblar for ages, but I never found a got spot till now.



The last thing for today is an old Ork watchtower I started working on again. I build it a few years back, but I dediced to upgrade it a little. I added ladders and a platform in between, though it might need even more armor plates to justify a 4+ cover save.

Would underslung on the wings work for the big shootas? I love the dangling "carrot" for the Squiggoth!

The wings are already too full. I'm using the missles from the Stompa to make it look more Orky, and the gunners need some space as well.

the bait for the squiggoth is genious!

good conversion work too, keep up the good work

Overlord

lo love your bikerboss
and good work on the kaptin badruk model
cheers!

Awesome.

Really good work. The struggle with the Valk will be to get it to look Orky enough and not just a Valkyrie that's been stolen and spray-painted, while still making it look flyable and airworthy. Judging by the quality of your work, however, this shouldn't be a problem.

At this point, there's not much I can do. The engines are too detailed to work with them. I'm also kinda running out of bitz.

Whack some big shootas above the wings as well. Also, try adding some other engines welded/bolted on for extra speed!

Im loving all the conversions in this army, and you're a good painter as well.

Good work,

Vitruvian

OK. I like what you've done with the right wing, that's really nice. If I were you I would alter the tail assembly (maybe single-boom instead of twin-boom: think conventional tail and tailplane attached to single fuselage, rather than the P-38-esque Valkyrie arrangement) and add skids to the landing gear, similar to the AoBR koptas.

Big shootas would be the kind of bitz I'm out of.

I don't think I can alter the tail at this point and I wouldn't know where to start anyway. The landing gear skids sound interesting, maybe I still have some big Lego ski lying around somewhere.

That's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of. As for the tail, if you are veering away from dramatic structural changes fair enough. Consider, however, 'extra reinforcement' in a suitably Orky fashion.
