schank23 wrote:The rhino is looking good. One thing I might do is add some battle damage to the Raven Guard areas that are left. I wouldn't do any on the blue as it has just been freshly looted and painted but one the areas that where not painted by the orks the battle damage would give that extra amount of detail that makes the model stand out all the more. But solid start so far.

oks i will do that, but do you think i should repaint the areas blue that have battle damage, (the blue bits that are damaged) or not?

Nice stuff man
consider me subscribed
also I have been building stuff as wel but never Big stuff always scared it would look to detailless how do you fix that problem?

get some smaller bits .
and of course paint in the detail, like damage and all that sorta stuffs. i am still learning though. but the main thing i think is that if your building metal things to alwasy add bolts. make it look a lot better and realistic (to an extent)

Took some full army shots today just to show everything together and show what i have left to paint and finish. ( so many ork boyz to do and redo)






not gonna be painting anything today got to get a solid amount of revision done (and some catching up on black ops)

thanks for reading/ looking

What I would do is leave the blue areas alone. The areas the orks haven't modified I would add some chipping in the paint and some minor battle damage. Marines take pretty good care of the gear so no huge areas of battle damage unless the ork themselves did it after they looted the rhino or recent battle. But in short. Black add some chipping. Blue leave as is.

Love that group shot of your army. It looks very impressive so far.

thank you very much, and i will be using that advice next time i come to paint the boyz and truck.

ok so a mini update, im currently reworking my old mega mek into a "counts as" kaptain badrukk. it should be epic, and i am also considering making my black reach Nobs into flash gitz. pics up later

i think i have come to a stage where i am becoming a ork big mek. never satisfied by making and painting da boyz, but gets a kick out of cobblying together random meks out of anything i can find that is even remotly orky.
but i digress, i have done some small additions to the mega dread and also nearly finnished my new "counts as" kaptain badrukk conversion. oh and im also trying to see if i can mess around with the ork warboss from assult on black reach to make him a lil bit more dakary.... not because im giving him any special wepons or anything, i jus want him to look "dead ard"
PICS BELOW:



so with "badrukk" (i need to think of a name for my one) i was going for the idea that after being humiliated by the most recent mega mek he would go away and imidiatly start thinking of a plan to get the "mega mek" back. so thats where the idea of the walker type thing came from, it is also as a side note made from bitz of his old mega armour (he would'nt be needing it anymore anyway). i also needed something i could use as "da ripper" badrukks gun. so i made the wepon on the front out of various stolen goods and some old bits (he is still a deathskull after all) from my bitz box. The banner on the walker is surpost to represent the bossbole badrukk has and BTW i know badrukk does'nt have a power claw but it just looked kick ass on there. OH annnnd i have'nt put a force field on him either, mainly because if he has those walker legs does'nt that make him a cybork.. and dont cyborks get a 5+ invun.... like a certain other character that he is based on. so yea if anyone asks i will just explain that.


BADRUKK IN CONSTRUCTION


MEGA DRED
i managed to find some extra bits to use on him and did a little bit of work on the legs.

and finally

i was really wanting something that just made him look a bit diffrent.

there is still a lot of work to be done filling in gaps and adding green stuff ect ect. i need to get another pack of green stuff befor i can start though. liturally have run compeatly out... (thats the only reason why i hav'nt been working on the squiggiphant at all, soooooo annoying)

ANY COMMENTS OR CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM WOULD BE GREAT AND THANKS FOR LOOKING

(3 POSTS IN A ROW WITHOUT COMMENT!!!!!)

so i have mainly been working on painting my space marine tacticle squad and dread today but ork wise, ive finished making the flash gits, made some ammo grots for my BADRUKK and i finnished painting the truck and boyz that go in it (went over the blue with blue and did some battle damage on the black bits) pics below


BADRUKK AND HIS AMMO GROTS


FLASH GITS

the basic idea with the flash gits is that they were nobz that my kaptain bent to his will by the gifts of kustom snazzgunz and loadsa teeth.

STILL NEED A NAME FOR THE KAPTAIN!

any comments or creative critism would be great.
thanks

I will do it, I will comment (the ring to mordor... wait whot?)
the flash gitz look good sow far, but I would give them some oher stuff not just bigger gunz the look a little plain except for the gunz OFC like them a lot.

hehehe dont squigs have 2 legs

im not entirely sure what else to give them though, i really dont want to give them hats, i just really dont like the pirate hats i have seen on them. but i could give them long coats and heavyer armour i guess. thanks for the comment

well Yea I'd say give em some shoulderpads, coats are a cool idea aswel also reworking there pose almost always looks cooler buuuuut that takes a lot of time... and if they are pirates WHY DO I NOT SEE HOOKHANDS!! hahaha, also axes dont really go with pirates in my opinion thats more a vicking thing.... (which gives me an idea)
But it's your build do stuff you like.

lol

UPDATE!
just did some painting on the looted tank this morning. its not finished but its better then it being just undercoated

i am thinking chopper hands, long coats and shoulder pads
and maybe making the axe's more sword like.

COMMENTS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Badrukk looks very cool with those bionic legs.

The Flash gits' gunz look awesome, too. As far as anything to add to make the look more flashy... long coats are good, if you can manage the GS (I haven't had the gutz yet). Trophy heads and pelts and other items from other armies work great too. I think the most important and easiest thing to do, though, would be to paint them bright, piratey colors (which I assume is in the pipe line already).

Also, I have to second the comment about the axes... unless this is a blood axe clan. (I've forgotten )

no its not blood axe's its deathskulls (the ones that steal stuff and paint things blue). and tbh i had'nt thought about how i was going to paint them yet.
And trophy's thats a great idea. i have a shed load of corpse's from marines and nids that i could add. had'nt thought abou that. thanks

I suppose nobody's ever heard of Boarding Axes, very useful as piratey weapons.

Anvildude wrote:I suppose nobody's ever heard of Boarding Axes, very useful as piratey weapons.

i just googled them. and hmmmmm that would be cools. altough i dunno how i would make them look less choppa like and more boarding axe like.

i am really leaning towards chopper hands and hooks

FINISHED REPAINTING THE LOOTED WAGON...... almost.
i am thinking the only things i need to add now would be weathering like mud. And then maybe touch up some other bits just a lil.
IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING THEY THINK WOULD MAKE THE LOOTED WAGON LOOK COOLER POST IT!!!!!!...... no presure

OK so first i thought i would try and add blue flames.... then i relised this was quite hard and i dont have the pataince or skill to pull it off.


so i returned to my graffiti and skullz theme i have going on and did that instead.










comments and improvements concerning the looted wagon would be great. im not sure really what else to do with it at the moment, but it just does'nt feel finished as such :/
anyway thanks for reading/ looking

"kill em, loot em and then kill em some more!"

I think the silver bits just look too clean. More scarring, battle damage, weathering on them. Things like rust, mud, dirt, paint chips, etc. Maybe some skorching around the end of the barrel of the gun, and the back of the Rokkits? Rust streaks dripping down from the edges of doors and armour plates (under the rivets, mostly), and a little spray of mud up the backside of the tank?

All shall kneel before Badrukk's Crotch-Cannon!!! Your ammo grots look awesome. I think you're looted tank could use some brown and black washes all around to give it more of a dirty and used appearance. I really dig the freehand skull by the back treads.

yea i can see what your saying, its the same sort off things i am having to do on the stompa. and i was thinking i was going to add the dirt and mud last because then it will be ontop off the other layers and look more realistic. i will be adding the rust for sure but i am not sure about how to do more chips, because the tank is mostly boltgun and i do my chips boltgun so
oh and lastly do you think i should add more physical battle damage at this stage or just paint it on/in?

"All shall kneel before Badrukk's Crotch-Cannon!!!" LOL
i have brown ink but i dont have a black so i will use the brown and see where that gets me but the thing is i used brown ink on a boltgun layer on the stompa and it just ends up coming out like it was painted tin bitz from the off. i will probs paint it into receases and then go over it boltgun so the inbetween bits look dirty. but hmmm

Paint if you wish. I'm generally more of a modeller than a painter, so I'd probably just hack some bits out, stick bullet holes into it in odd places, stuff like that. I think it'd give you more inspiration for how to paint the damage if you had a physical base to it.

alright then. i will add some more battle damage today (now) and see where that takes me

Any paint can be turned into a wash or glaze with enough water. Don't let paint companies fool you. For a wash you'd want like 5-6 parts water to your paint (maybe more for dark colors like black) and for a glaze you'd want something closer to 10 to 1 water to paint. I use some old GW inks (with water mixed in), but mostly just to get rid of them. Think how GW does that verdigris turquoise on their rusty gold. That just watered down Hawk Turquoise or Scaly Green.

Glazes take a lot more time to achieve a proper look (a lot more) because they can require a whole load more coats, but you can garnish a lot of control with them and get some really good looking layers built up with them.

Just some ideas to save you some money and give you another painting technique to attempt. I do tend to ramble meaninglessly, so feel free to ignore me at anytime...

... Moltar, i have seen your painting blog. if your giving me advice on how to do painting techniques i would be a fool not to take it. next time i am painting i will mix up a batch of black wash then. i have the pots and the black so i might as well. BUT when you say 5-6 parts are you meaning 50-60% water to paint ratio? because i have never understodd that when ever anyone talks about mixing or blending or w/e.
thanks for the knowledge you bring

Parts is a bit different to Percentage. While Percentage is like:

Water water water water water water paint paint paint paint,

Parts is more like:

water water water water water water paint.
