Hello, welcome to my painting blog, Ive got a sizeable army for my deathskulls orks. Ive been collecting them for around two or three years. Theres no better way of collecting these little green buggers than going buying a ton of boxes of models and help the death skulls loot the hell out of them. In time i will add some pictures of the army as it currently stands and put in some battle reports. currently im gong to add a small amount of boyz to the force, that will be fifty in total-half a green tide. To make this a challange for myself i will paint the whole squad up in a month (dec 12) so hear goes.
its now been some time since ive started this thread> so as every hobby evolves ive now got myself some nurgle to start a fantasy army. Thanks for all the encouragement during the last six months. Also anyone wanting any commisioned stuff done please get intouch

heres the firs few pics of my army to date, starting with a few trukks that drive the boyz around

sorry about the stompa being posted twice

That's a lot of armor you have there! I like your color scheme, it is simple but very effective. I would love to see some more pics.

more pics are on the way. for this month im going to aim to paint up half a tide. 50 orks in a month, i think its going to be a stretch but i could get it done

Those are some cool Orky things you have there. I really like the three looted Baneblades. You have used lots of imagination when you've put them together and I think it has paid off. The addition of all those parts works really well and makes them very Orky. I'm not sure which of the Baneblades is my favourite. I think number two because of the Killa kan turret, that is very cool.

The Dreadnoughts that you have are awesome as well. I've always liked the Ork Dreadnought model.

I agree, those Baneblades are something else. I have a Shadowsword or whatever it's called partially assembled and I may respectfully pinch some of your ideas.

I think the Stompa looks a bit plain in comparison; I would liven it up a bit with maybe a large painted horned skull glyph. I really ought to finish my stompa as it has the same over the top feel as your Baneblades.

Looks pretty sweet. Looking forward to more.

That's quite a good start. I'm really digging the muted blues, it's nice to see Orky armies that aren't over the top once in a while.

By the way: You iz makin a bad mishtake wif dat spellingz. 'Deff Skullz' not 'Death Skulls' like how da 'umies say eet.

WOW, really quite a collection of converted stuff. I like your stompa's and the converted bomma battle wagon thing. very cool and creative, subscribed


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I forgot about the super heavies..... changed my mind i like them the most

Some really cool conversions in here. I like the rust and scraped paint themes as well, it really gives them the look like they've been out for some krumpin.

i love kanz, they are so much fun to build and paint up. tho i never used any on the table to date.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


more kanz. Hopefully santa will bring me a new box of these guys, tho i do have three to strip i got from a trade

the deff skullz just love all the bitz left over from a krumpin with the ummies


Automatically Appended Next Post:


looted tank, courtesy of the golden throne


Automatically Appended Next Post:


that is all the armour i have painted up at the moment. Theres plenty more in the pipeline with some builds nearly finished. Once i get all the infantry done im going to go back over the armour with some weatering powders and varnish them. overall its a realy fun army to build and painting is a blast-once i get a new tank i will add some stage by stages for anyone intrested in it. I should point out that all the painting has been done by me, however a good friend of mine has done most of the large conversions, credit where its due. If anyone has any similar projects to paint up feel free to get in touch, Usaly i dont charge for ork stuff like this, tho i will take any orky leftovers from you as a payment. So next up is all the footsloggers that make up the army....

That flying thing is cool, I'm not sure of it's name.

I think it looks really Orky the w`ay it seems to be like a fortress or tanks made to fly about.

ive been painting like a man possesed, trying to complite a fifty strong squad in a month is pretty hardcore, so far ive done all the bases and some of the armour, currently on the leathers, that only leaves me wih skin, washes, highlights, drybrushing and metalics to go.......
also ive been checking out the stormraven/thunderhawk conversion thats been going around. Once the mistress that is payday arrives i may look to make one of these then turn it all orky

ive re assembled the last of the stompas, hes painted up but at a later date i will be adding battle damage and i fancy adding some sort of turrets and kanns to him.


Automatically Appended Next Post:

The models are actualy warmer in colour in the flesh, getting good light in the uk is not a easy task


Automatically Appended Next Post:


thats them all !

Maybe a shot of them all together?

really like the one with the custom club, very cool

going to order up the parts for my thunder-ork, two stormravens and a battlewaggon. i was going to paint a nurgle army but this seems a much better use of funds, and as far as painting up my 50 unit in a month they now have skin and a wash.

ive got the first ten boyz finished, At some point today i will take more pics of the rest of the army

Grotz


Automatically Appended Next Post:


heres a close up of one of the little fellaz. All the infantry in the army have been painted up to a good table top quality, my aim was to have a big painted army to a good standart. Perhaps even the biggest army painted.
Im not sure if the quality of the pics shows up, any feed back on this would be appriciated.



Automatically Appended Next Post:


two of my objective markers. one is from the fantasy empire box set with a roge trader sholder pad. tho for a fantasy model it has 40k armour plate moulded onto it.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


The other two objectives, from forge world, these guys are big mek buzz gobs grotz


Automatically Appended Next Post:


HQ warbosses from black reach


Automatically Appended Next Post:


My final HQ section, big mek with a KFF. this for me is a must as it gives me a 5plus cover save on the boyz allowing them to get into combat with less bullet holes in them


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Stay tuned as theres tons of sluggaz, big shootaz, a few storm boyz and some random other guys.
On a side not ive orderd the kits i need to build my thunder-ork they should be hear with in the week.

Wow what a day, if finaly finished painting up 50 orks in under a month. This is not a easy task and its not one i reccomend, but on the plus side the army grows by 300 points. Pics will folow soon.
Im also im the middle af moveing house so i went to grab my carry case to pack away some armour and i have found two built and painted deff dreads and a five strong squad of kannz. Result. Having had some spare time the kannzs and dread have been weatherd too-pics to folow.

I'm not sure if you can call an ork army beautiful, but this one fits the bill.

I know it has already been said, but that color scheme is amazing. Simple but effective. I loooooooooove your armor. All those stompas....

Air power looks great as does all the tanks. The army has a great feel to it and very cohesive.

Have you thought about making a Gargant? Just wondering since you have so many stompas.

@ gorgrimm thanks for the love for the army. A gargant sounds realy realy cool. I will have to see if i can find any instructions on how to do such a beast.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


This is the first of my decembers painting challange i set my self. 32 ork boyz with sluggaz and choppas, plus two big shootaz. Most if not all of the boyz are from black reach set.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Something a little diffrent, My currently finished slugga boyz-23 strong unit


Automatically Appended Next Post:
At a later stage i will be drilling out every gunz barrel-but not today


Automatically Appended Next Post:


This is the first of the five kanz i found earlyer in the week. Ive only recently dirghty them up a little with a powdering or the old boltgun metal, it give the orks a very battle hardend feel


Automatically Appended Next Post:


hers the other two, Sadly for the little guy i had no big choppy armz left, so he looks a litle puny


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ive orderd up some more kanz, i think three, pluz i have one spare and ive also got three in some break fluid cleaning at the moment. Once they turn up i quite fancy some IG sentinels to make Senti-kanz. Its one of the many little projects i have floating around in my head at the moment, i figured if i put it in hear it is "safe" from me getting other ideas. Like the one where i put rockits on tau gun drones ( any spares anyone )


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Deff dread-nuff said


Automatically Appended Next Post:


In future im going to spend some more time on the bases, building them up a little with debris and leftover bitz. Im not sure if i can top this guy.....................

Nice Dreads!

So how much do you play? I use two claws and 2 Kustom Mega Blastas on my dread and it works out pretty well. I know a lot of folks won't have any shooty bits on deff dreads. I want more and I would definitely do one at least that has four claws.

your tide o' ladz is growing too, how many are you at yet?

Impressive.

@ gorgrim I dont play as much as i would like thats sadly for sure, i belive ive got one or two games in since the new edition of the rules came out. My previous list was based around a ork infantry horde, about 180 in total running across the battle field. KFF giving a much better survival rate for when i reached the enemy. That list mostly won games and occasinly drew, with only one defeat. Tho the new rules this list seems not so good, i like the idea of storm boyz, and im dropping the power klaws as they get killed before they strike.
As to how big the entire army is i have no idea, perhaps once i get it all online i will do the maths


Automatically Appended Next Post:


.............so the only thing cooler than the deff dread is...Forgeworlds mega dread-top model. in hindsight i should have made a size comparison, but its big


Automatically Appended Next Post:


the shooty section from my decembers painting challange


Automatically Appended Next Post:


The few stormboyz that i currently own, one day they will grow in size but alsas

My order has just arrived-its huge! i need to take a picture of this , theres so many models to paint and build i dont know where to start

Just a quick post before i have the joys of going to work. Inorder to improve my orks i think the next logical step was to make the bases more realistic, so here is one of the new style bases for my kanz

Heres the mother load of all box sets. Look on with envy at the shinys. Most of this lot will make my two thunder-orks, the rest is for my ogre army and the deamons are for when i find the right colour scheme/or i take them to gw to pay for the next storm raven.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


So this is the base from this morning, Hopefully the model has some height to it now and look like its actualy on the battlefield, Theres a squad of seven to make intotal, possibly ten if i make the senti-kans conversions. Once this guy was painted ive threw on loads of weathering powders, once this is dry i will apply a coat of matt varnish to hold the powders and a few little bushes to the base. enjoy

This thread makes me proud to be an ork player, I have a similar army to yours, albeit with fewer super heavies and stompas! I even have an ork with a plan sign

@ Gork and possibly mork. Thats a strange coincedence, I first seen da plan on the gw website by someone who had there own models on there.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Painting day today. Why must it take so long for each layer to dry. yesterdays kan is nearly complite and ive now begun work on a couple more scenic bases, again im waiting for stuff to dry. Think i will try and finish one of the bikers in the drying time

Things progressed nicely with the first kann, all finished off and armed up according to what i think he should have. Sadly the IG sentinels are only available single models, so i cant realy afford to make the three strong unit of them, so its only one sentinle spread out over several kannz-should be good.

Pictures?

Thats number one of v.2 kanz complited. i think i will make a 1500 kan list up, Plus they are going quite cheap on ebay. Would have had a few more pics but photobucket is playing up

Love the Baneblade with the Battlewagon on top. The side door really fits in nicely with the design and makes it look like a real battle fortress. I'd like to see more shots of the Baneblade and the flyer from different angles.

One thing though: For a Deathskull army I don't see a lot of looted things. If I could get away from my Evil Suns red I'd barely use regular Ork vehicles at all.

This little project got finished today


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Thats the last of the boyz, theres no need for me to ever paint another one again. ever


Automatically Appended Next Post:


So im definatley doing aroun 1k of kanz. heres a set of wip bases for the next pair. Im movein house at the moment so does anyone have the basic points for a single kann?


Automatically Appended Next Post:


wip for one of the sent-kanz


Automatically Appended Next Post:


this ones done apart from the arms. It has the legs from the sentinle.

Ok here it is, i belive the first thunder-ork conversion step by step guide. It may seem lengthy but i figured everyone is at diffrent levels in the hobby so this instruction set should work for everyone. Also with a few tweaks this is easly a spacemarine thunderhawk. Im a little dyslexic so dont worry too much about my spelling. Please leave a comment if this is of any use to you and any pics of built thunder-orks. Lets try and keep the name as its pretty cool too. Should this project be a bit hard for anyone i will happily do the build for you.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The kits ive used are at the moment two stormravens and a marine vanquisher, tho i imagine towards the end of the build i will have used diffrent orky kitz


Automatically Appended Next Post:


stage one, get out them ravens and build to the instructions on the first page, missing out the parts where my thumb is and the part ive coverd over.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Providing you have not fethed up stage one you should have this infront of you. Also i should have mentioned im using the humbrol glue with the needle on it. Defo recomend it.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The sections where the lights go i left open, being an orky machine i figured they would rather have more gunz than being able to see there target. The doors will be left open till the detail stage, depending on what you go for they will realy personalise the kit for you.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


ONLY on ONE of the kits glue this section to the base


Automatically Appended Next Post:


The two sections are now going to be glued together, i did snip a couple of interior details to get a even edge to glue together.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Glued, there will be a couple of upside down skulls to snip away at a later date. you will know whitch ones when you do the build.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Ok, now put the ravens parts to one side and get out this box


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Build to this stage using the gwinstructions, however dont put in the inner doors as the extra armour wont glue on properly, perhaps the instructions are a little off from gw?


Automatically Appended Next Post:


continue building to gw instructions to this stage, then stop. have a little break as them glue fumes will be makeing you high


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Just a little reference on where things will be going and should be at this stage. Next up will be using the razor saw to do some serious remodeling

I never considered mashing to Stormravens together like this. Looks promising, keep it up.

There is much i can teach you, young padawan


Automatically Appended Next Post:


grab your vanquisher, cut away the section that is behind the saw. this should be a clean 90 degree cut. On a side note you may feel like a boss with a power klaw muchin threw umie tanks.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


next up were going to remove the rear section from one of the ravens. Again this is done in a 90 degree fashon.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Glue the two sections together, this then makes the body of the thunder-ork. Be carefull as to the height of where the wheels are, they should be just below the top of the model. At a later date the wheel section will be boxed in and it should all sit flush. This is very tecnical by orky standards.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Enableing a level finish i found it easyer to line up two existing sections of the ravens body with two fixed points on the vanquisher.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


As all of the main body is glued together, whyle the glue dryes ive built up some of the smaller sub assemblys. starting with the tail section. Just build them and pop them to one side for now.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


no surprises hear, this is the tail section


Automatically Appended Next Post:


There is only two wings required, one for each side. these are just built from gw instructions.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Again only two engines are needed, built as per gw instructions.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Thats the wings, done.

Won't the wings be too short for the final model once you're done?

onto fixin the wings, step one. Remove the exhausts from the vindi, Also take off the raised detail arount the area, i think it was ike two small rectangles of plastic. Then give it a little tidy up with a sharp knife


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Remove what i would call the spare flap, on the right of the photo. then alighn the square with the square area on the vindi, Glue sandwitch and one wings done.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


repeat with both sides and hold in place untill dry. This is where a good quality glue is important. now the model is realy starting to take on some shape


Automatically Appended Next Post:


If you followed the instructions clearly, the result will impress everyone. Guaranteed


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Feel free at this point to make areoplane noises and fly this into peoples heads


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Timw foor something a little more skilled. take the spare ravens top tail section, cut it in half. Down the middle. Place one of the pieces onto some plastic card to draw around to make a template, Ive used four pieces from the plasticard, each piece is 2mm thick. Glue the pieces together, so you start with four bits then end up with two at 4mm thick. These are going to be the stablser wings near the fromt on the craft.

Wings look fine now. This is getting more interesting by the post.

Just a quick shout out, one of my friends does lots of orky stuff on facebook, hes got a nice little page to have a look at. give him a like its called Grot orderly.
Progress is happening on the thunder ork, will hopefully have some more pics later today


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Attatch the two mini wings. Keep them nice and level


Automatically Appended Next Post:


close up on exactly where they go.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


ok, so hear is exactly where they will sit


Automatically Appended Next Post:


next section. build up two more wings. However dont add the warheads into front, as later on we can add a bit of dakka. however do put in the ends of the mistle pod


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Remove the flaps that are behind the saw.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


glue your baby wings onto the daddy wings like this.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


A close up of where to sit the wings, i found lineing them up with the lower section of the vindis exhausts looks good, and theres a little more to glue too


Automatically Appended Next Post:
With the wings firmly in place its time to move onto the tail section. Grab the tail that was built earlyer, then remove the section under the saw.




Automatically Appended Next Post:


This bit will require some measurement. cut some plasti card to fill in the section that is the top of the thunder-ork, glue it too the top of the vindi wheels. you may need diffrent sized card depending on where the wheels sit, but should ultimatley sit level with the top of the craft.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


If everything was measured correctly, glue the tail in place.

This makes me happy.. Great work man.

Now THIS is a great army. Subscribed!

Thanks again to anyone leaving comments. Ive also got my first ultra marine thunderhawk to build for someone. should be a good chalange, as the marine variant will have sharp crips lines whear as this ork variant is going to be a more scrappy look, as if the orks have looted it.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Work todate.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


More sub-assemblys next. This order is for the cockpit. It should be easy enuf to find the spare bits to make this section. Dont glue in any weapons as later were going to add some more orky gunz in there. Ive removed the front aquila with a knife and glued over a bit of plasti card to the entire section. Try mixeing up the plasticard as this will give you lots of diffrent details and make the model more looted.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Build up the gun, that is used by the servitor. Ive opted to keep the laz gunz, personal choice. Dont worry about the interiors.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Glue the two sub assemblys to the front of the craft.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


This little section is a little more time consuming. by makeing a housing fot the top of the vindi you hide all the traks and bring the whole back section together. Ive used the top of a gun section from the ork battle wagon. build this as normal around the outsides and cut off the bottom so it sits flush, dont glue the top section on as you need to do some fiddly work on it


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also now is as good a time as any to pull the top set of wings into the model by laying plasti card. 1mm thick to fill the wing gaps as you can see above


Automatically Appended Next Post:


heres a close up of the zap gun, ive cut it and added a length of plastic tubeing to make the barrel. glueing the end of the zap gun to the end of the barrel.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Progress so far

Looks brilliant! Cant wait to see it orkificated.

Ah, Ork parts. Now we're getting somewhere.

ive had a slight change of mind. Ive removed the min gub as i feel its a little toooooo small for a orky craft, going to have a look on bitz box for a stompa one instead.

Thunderhork?

ive tidy up the underside of the thunder-ork. This is fairly straight foreward to do, just bung up any holes with plasticard and any bitz you have in your bitz box


Automatically Appended Next Post:


let the fun begin, Its time to build up all of the dakka-dakka gubbinz. Raid you bitz box and get out anything shooty or blowy upy. Theres all the stuff from a ork bommer/dakka jet hear.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


As a rule of thumb i put the biggest bombs on the rear of the craft. The mistles sit nicely under the steadying wings and the shooters have been put into the top set of wings, remember when i said leave the mistles out, that was why-twin linked shootas.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
At the moment you may have notices that the armour plate look stuck on. My current project hear is to greenstuff weld each plat onto the ship. This will take ages so i may be gone some time. Theres plenty of tuts on how to make the welds, just search in google for them if your stuck.I would say at this stage you can start to build up your model with the instructions so far. Ive only the welding, adding more armour plates, battle damage, building more dakk, primeing, building a base, painting, weathering and varnishing then its job done. Oh and makeing some gunz that are where the doors are.

as the project has progreses i noticed the tail section is much heavyer than the front. in order to get the craft to sit on a flyingbase ive made two circles, one on the craft and the other on top of the flying base, this will give me a larger area to glue the two sections together.


Automatically Appended Next Post:



Automatically Appended Next Post:
the project is just about complited, ready to paint. i need to still get a gun from the stompa kit but other than that its job done.




Automatically Appended Next Post:

Looks good, could use some more orky gyphs though or more bodged plating

Allready done, i thought the same too. ive not done too many as the next time i build this im going to try to use one less storm raven to keep the costs down. this will then give me plent of oppotunity to make the pair very orky indeed.

Awesome work, I want to see some paint on it¬!!!!!!

so now with the thunder-ork finished i am getting back to my kanz list, this is the first complited three models, theres another two on mydesk plus two more part built then theres a pair more still on sprues. I think i will get a few kanz done before its time to paint up the thunder-ork as i need a bit of a break from it.

Been a little busy with moving house and some of the stuff i need going into boxes, so work has been a little slow. i should have some wip shots of more kanz up in a day or so.

wip, heres the kanz theres a bit to do on the bases, some yellow paint to be added to some of the armour plates, and a couple of armz each too. Anyone have any spare arms please get intouch

Been away for some time due to new job and moving house. Ive now got the paints out and managed to complite 3 kanns and ive built and primed two bommaz. They ill probably be complited by the time i find the camera to upload some pics of them.
Does anyone have and spare kann sized bases, also any kann feet as ive lost all six of them. oh and a bit of a long shot but does anyone have the AoBR dread, as the legs are going to be the lower half of the next kann

WoW!!! This is one hell of a Mek's playground thread!!!

Any work done on the ThunderhORK Gunship?

@joyous, The thunder-ork is currently on the shelf, as i got a little tired with it by the time it was built. Theres a few other bits to do then im sure i will be refreshed ready to paint it up.

dude sweet army, extra points for that supa tank and that gunship, also that battlewagon flyer can be used as a warkopta.
sweet orks man, subbed

Awesome gunship, hard to believe thats just plastic kits with nothing extra, gosh i love orks also can we have a group shot with all the tanks and the infantry in one shot?

Young Logan

@ logan, sadly i cant do the shot of everything, ive moved house so most of them are in storage at the moment-theres some pics at the start of the thread with a few early army shots.

the kans are done now, ive decided to use the grotzookas as one of the arms, i hate the origanls so hers my converted ones.

Fantastic conversions and bashes!

Someone once said that quantity is a quality of its own - and that definitely applies here. Not a bash at your painting quality! Just saying that the amount of models at your disposal is impressive!

Automatically Appended Next Post:


These guys are going to be the riders once i get time to build them up

Lovely stuff, mate. I really love how dark, gritty, and muted your color palette is. It's not something you see often with Orks but it works really well.

Would it be too much to request a complete army shot?

Don't know I did miss this Mek madness

Great job on everything, I'll be watching closely the progress

May Gork (or Mork) drive your WAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

Thanks again for the replys guys, Sadly i cant do a full army shot at the moment as most of the models are in storeage-but one day i realy will.
As far as progress goes ive complited two of the five nobz, with two more nearly done. sothere should be some pics coming up soon.

Thats the nobz all finished up. five not so shiny warbikes off the desk

Wow, love how these have turned out. They were origanly glued onto a flat base and sprayed with a gloss black paint-Tho not by me as i got them in a trade, Im pleased to see they have succsessfuly been rescued and given a new lease of life.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


So my orks are at a stage where im happy with them, theres a few mini projects to finish off, alongside the thunderork and stompa. But like any painter i find myself looking at other models and even entire armys-so instead of starting a new plog ive decided to show you my new army as i paint it alongside my orks..........so hears the testers


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ive decided on a nurgle themed deamon army for fantasy! time being limited ive adopted a tin of army painter quick shade and decided on the colour scheme and army size-about 1500/2000 points of all nurgle models and the main scheme is the third from left nurgling, then any secondary schemes will be the second from left


Automatically Appended Next Post:


onto the purchasing so far-20 plaugebearers and 3 plauge drones. Ive made some of the spare nurglings into unit fillers. they look the part when mixed in with a unit and it will save me some money too.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


The first unit is built-i managed 13 models from the ten strong box. The next ten is a rescue job so i will see how they work out


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Anyone wanting any deamons-these ARE the models to but. thats all for now as i need to get some paintings done

I hope this link uploads-been having trouble with the internet again-if it does heares the firs half of my nurgle horde complited. Just a little note the rescued models are in hear too and have worked out fine.

Worked, brilliant


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Onto the killa kanz again, hope its ok to be a bit random now as ive two armys going on atm. The three kannz are all finished up. they have even came out well considering they were damaged as hell when i got them. my next update should be the plauge drones finished

so it seems ive shelved the nurgle project, it was fun but did not seem to be going anywhear. Still ive got a few nice models to put into my collection. Been realy busy at works so my offerings are slim. Deciding to go back to one of my older armies and add a few bits to my ogres. These guys are all empire mercs so have all been converted, Sometimes so much you can tell that its a conversion. hope you like them and once i get a few more models finished i will add them up hear too..

Hope to have a little update later this week....more ogre stuff to come

well ive been away for some time now, actualy i did a trade with someone else on dakka and it went terribly wrong and i got quite a bit of flakk for it, wont go into it on hear but it made me leave the forum for some time. However im back again now, ive decidedd to keep this blog orky in nature from now on tho i will keep the other pics from diffrent army that are allready uploaded. Ive heard strong rumors about a new ork release this year so ive got a couple of kits to keep me going till they are out, a box of kannz and another dread.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


BOOM cant say much more than that!!!!!

well guys the new orks have indeed arrived and im super excited to see the whole new range, so excited infact ive bought a new army for around 150 sterling, secondhand theres literaly several kilos of orks in there. so lets get started on a few kannz

All asembled and running rampant round the camp, also theres lots of weathering powders been used on this too.

mong, sorry about the re post


Automatically Appended Next Post:
yes its some of the gorka morka range.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
this fella is the star of my little painting guide

first off build it and get the base materials on




Automatically Appended Next Post:


so the next stages are. drybrush the base and cloth in a dark grey (adeptus battle grey) over brushed once dry with a lighter shade of grey (astronomican)
paint up some of the leather work and boots in rhinox hide or a rich golden brown colour.
add a splash of blue with a strong pigment blue or a couple of layers of a slightly less pigment rich colour blue, ive found any blue works well.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
a dark silver colour (bolygun metal or the newer lead belcher) added.

make im green. ive gone for the older foundation range of knarlock green it works realy well with this skin, the newer waaagh green does work but its a little darker




Automatically Appended Next Post:
now make im blac. apply a liberal wash of nulin oil shade, if you have it badab black will work too. once this stage is dry you can have this as a tourney level paint job.

got me a couple of classics finished, they fit surprisingly well when mixed into a horde


Automatically Appended Next Post:


gorkamorks models, again nice little models. i feel they add a touch of something diffrent to a tide, would definatley do some more of these guys if they came my way


Automatically Appended Next Post:


thats what i call progress, around 30 or fourghty orks ready to battle. whith will equate to roughfly 30 or 40 percent of the horde


Automatically Appended Next Post:
got some more orks on the desk. going to do a fat block of twenty, so far so good built and based with the first coat on them, theres even 3 slightly diffrent models in there too. Just seen what could be the new 40k box set too with orks vs wolf in it, sadly dissapointing to start with but will see once it comes out. i was hopeing for a couple of new units or at least cheaper meganobz.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Savages, bloody savages.

just a quick update, been busy doing some more orks. these guys are very much WIP at the moment. once i get them off the desk tho its time for some heavy armour


Automatically Appended Next Post:

Next project on the desk, ive got all these unloved models from trades and a few purchases/ thought it was time to see exactly what i had and have a go at fixing it all up


Automatically Appended Next Post:


first one up to get some fixinz done. was fairly straight foreward just a couple o bitz missing to replace and its all done ready to paint up

heres the second one finished up, luck is on my side with this lot as there was only minimal work to do on it plus adding on a deff rolla


Automatically Appended Next Post:


little more work on this one, a few armour plates here and there plus ive enclosed the cab at the rear. the reason for this is to make all the models in the formation slightly diffrent yet still uniformed


Automatically Appended Next Post:


last but not least.

heres the whole set together from the front, ready to be repainted

Automatically Appended Next Post:


WIP alt view of the rhino top

got two of the battle wagons finished off, i may well go over the coloured eyes in green to fit with the rest of the army. its only a little diffrence when fw weathering powders are used but it makes enuf to make it worth whyle.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


looted rhino finished up too. will get some more shots on here as i get the projects finished, still a couple of battle wagons to go. then i may do a little army shot

Awesome Death Skulls army, fantastic work on the bases too!

thanks to everyone for there support and encouragement. it gives me motivation (well extra anyway) to plod along doing the army. there is no end in sight plus with the nex storm claw box set coming out i think the orks will be coming very cheap to buy second hand in around six months or so-cant wait to get hold of that new war boss!!


Automatically Appended Next Post:


another one rolls from the painting desk and off into the sunset. i did go for the green in the lights and pipes and amm realy glsd ive gone for it too. such a diffrence and it realy pops


Automatically Appended Next Post:
WIP for the last two battle wagons, probably the most complex of them all-if not one of the biggest models in the army. The current stage is all about getting some silver in there, this adds a level of detailing and also lightens the model up ready for the blue. aiming to get the blue done over the next couple of days or so


Automatically Appended Next Post:

some solid blue colour on the model, now the first layers of rust are being built up


Automatically Appended Next Post:


several extra shades of rust added and now a few coats of wash in diffrent places to bring out the texture

baneblade looks good, really liking the looted kannon and the rust so far

@big fish this project was a total joy to do, so happy with the scrap metal i had at the start and whats there now. just need to name him

FINISHED !!!!!!

Automatically Appended Next Post:


happyness comes in epic sizes

Tis the last battle wagon on the desk, and quite possibly the last one i will ever paint-simply i have more than i will ever need. Still very much in the WIP stage at the moment with the block colours done plus the rust. next up will be some shadeing on the working parts followed by the silver scratched being added.

Very nice models and colour scheme, very orky but also avoiding the walking pile of junk that models can end up looking like. I really like the super heavies.

Sent you a pm with some possible trade items.

this is the last one finished. i will get all five out and do a squad shot of them all. i think its time for a little orky break for now as im green and blued out. perhaps some rats to take my mind off things

Final trukk looks great, jonny. Rats should be a good distraction.

Thanks again everyone. comments are more than welcome-there will be more orks related things to come. ive allready got a good few boyz to finish. theres most if not all of a dread mob ready to do. Another flyer is still in the box, plus a load of charicters. Thats before i even unbox any of the new range.

Battlewagon steamrolla squad. now that they are all finished thought i would do a cheeky squad shot. very happy, very happy indeed. I did get a few skaven basecoated but they totaly held no intrest for me so they are back into there tunnel for another few months, back onto orks now started work on a couple of charicters to get them off the desk. Ive also got a trip into gw so undoubtedly will come away with some goodies from ther too

I really like the look of your rusted machines. And in my opinion (which is not as humble as it ought to be), one can never have enough (let alone "too many") battlewagons and battlefortresses. Keep at it. It all looks great.

got these two finished in record time, literaly under a day. good fun to paint tho the mouldings were not the best ive seen. been thinking of a unbound flash gitz army about 1500 points worth, probably not very good but could be a good little addition to the force as a whole, plus i could get the pirate boss in there too.

New recruitz have arrived, theres a couple of limited edition grotz, 10 flash gitz and these are all led by the infamous ork badrukk. time to get the glue and clippers out. 1500 points unbound incoming.

OMG these models are some of the best and biggest ork kits ive worked on, taken around two days just to build them, soooo good, definatley recomend these to anyone wanting a fun little project. i will get some pics up soon but im sure the gunz are bigger than a spacemarine whitch makes them like ten foot tall

Yeah, the flashgitz box is full of fun gubbinz. Those guns are silly big. Looking forward to seeing your waaagh! grow.

massive

heres the start of the freebooters, they take ages to assemble as theres sooo many choices, seems that it allmost impossible to get two models the same. theres some realy cool little details like meck legs and armz, one hand has a cigar on it too. one of the best gw kitz in ages


Automatically Appended Next Post:


the second half of a ten man squad, ive planned ahead with these as i figured i will never get the brus in behind the massive gunz they own. anyone unsure about these should definatley go get some


Automatically Appended Next Post:
ive had a cople of spare afternoons and a hungover day off so heres the results so far, just block colour and a wash at theis stage

the first five are officialy off the desk. ive been insanley busy with work so had so little time to paint at the moment. these guys are straightforeward to paint but theres lots and ots of ubbins to to so they can take up a lot of time to do, worth it tho.

Just got the needed number of votes for one of my models in my galler, realy pleased with the result, thanks anyone who voted on it. Oh and also please vote on anything else in my gallery

and of course keeping things piratey is the next unit after being built

cute little pirate army shot

DAY OFF WORK. its been spmetime since ive had one of these, coffie made, ps3 at the ready and a robot pirate ork on the desk rearing to get finished, should be a good day aiming to get the meganobz finished off today, plus ive got a copy of zombicide board game and would like to get ten plus zombies ready to put into armypainters quick shade then its time to build up some more oversized pirates for my orks. will do a couple of pics tonite.

I got a little carried away painting up zombies the other day so did not get chance to upload any pics. so the day of painting went well to be fair, got the mega nobz finished off plus ive a cool bunch of zombicide models on the done pile, sadly no freebooters got finished, or even built as im still building now. heres the first nob coming up




Automatically Appended Next Post:
next up is the whole squad, realy expensive models these (in real money) Also i did notice that on the packageing it says four models but realy theres only three nobz and a grot oiler in the box-felt that was a little cheeky of gw. moaning aside theres a few leftover bits and pieces for later conversions and room to buy another box and not have the modles all looking the same. Painting wise these were some of the easyest models ive done for ages



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Next big section of the army is to build up another ten ork squad of flash gitz. will add a few pics once they are done

made some progress, its slow i know but ive been insaneley busy at work and a few other things too. so ive managet build ten more of these guys and get there bases done. instead of batching them out ive gone and done one at a time, or in this case just one. hope you like im

theres seven left now to paint up on the desk, ive lost some of the momentum on them now so i may take a sidestep into something else for a short time, ive also got two more boxes that are not even opent yet-they may get changed down the local gw for a couple of boxex of mega nobs instead.

Ive got a weeks holiday to take, probably no updates going to happen but ive lots of painting scheduled in. aiming to get the whole ten ork squad of flash gitz finished and hopefully a trip into my local gw to get some reinforcements. Looking for potentialy some of the new ork walkers, a box of big gunz and possibly some knights to loot up. Oh and of couse i got a space hulkgame held back. So that there should keep me in models till the end of the year, plus whats ever is still on my desk and in the wardrobe

ive not done much noteworthy things with the greenies of late, there were three leadbelchers and a tyrant for my ogrekingdoms army alongside a huge unit of over one hundred skaven in it, all complited so i thought i would like a reprive from them all to get back to some good ol green paint. ive finished all the flashgitz now, kapting badrukk is on the desk with only his hat left to finish. I did put this model off for some time but now ive got work on him done he turns out to be a fun little fella to paint. hopefull i will get him done tonite then its onto one of many other projects, of whitch theres a few boyz still hanging round needing painting, a bommer still in the box, a crap ton of tanks to convert or my current but expensive quest will see me take on three knight titans and loot the tits off them. oh plus a stompa to finish and i do fancy both the gorka and morkanought, watch this slightly indecisive space.

Your work is awesome. Moar pics please!

had a little rummage threw my bitz box and pulled this out with a little conversion work added. only took five mins as most of it was allready there. onto get it painted

one more off the desk

got the little fella done

Tank looks awesome, fantastic kans too!

got some new toyz

Automatically Appended Next Post:
this is the much abondend morkanought that the boyz dragged in. got quite a lot of fixinz to go on it before i even think of a lick of paint. will update once i get spomewhere on this beast

ive done a few large overhauls on the model so far, gone are the two orks thats man the mistles and gunz. Glued back together the doors, gave him a few battle wounds and bullet holes and a patch or two hear and there. Painting wise theres a solid coat of leadbelcher, nulin oil wash followed by several layers of blues


Automatically Appended Next Post:


next stages are to work threw soe rust colours dark reds and oranges, probably some nulin oill and agrax in theretoo


Automatically Appended Next Post:


spending my evenings doing exactly the same to the body work

had a little change of heart on the weapons fromt, made up a little gatling blaster instead.

thats all my orks finished up now. ive still a ton in baggies somewhere but ive found i realy dont need anymore models painted, in tume i may add some of the grot big guns or another unit of mega nobz. All in all its been a fun little journey painting up this army. Time to move on, i will continue to add to this blog as i get into some new projects or armys. Currently ive just opend space hulk game and getting into the marines in it, going to go for a more time consuming methord of painting but it should yeild better results, plus theres not too many models in the box or indeed a marine army. will get some updates on when i get time

ive got started on space hulk blood angels and have this little beauty to offer up.

so this is where were at doing the marine secion of the box set. lots still to get threw, i do like the dead marine-hes now going to be a marker for games of 40k. ive been thinking of expanding the force to get a 1500 point army complited, thinking of all infantry then it changed to all terminators. It may play pants but i bet it will look good. Possible purchase could be the chapalin in termie armour along side a box of assault termies.

this is the current state of the force. i do have a day off in the morning so fingers crosed i will get some painting done. not sure if i will just try and finish off one model complitley of do the samestages on a few of them.

this is whats tecnicaly left of the marine section, as of the start of what i thought was one day off but is indeed two. i will do a pic at the end of my days off, hopefully this will give me a bit of motivation to get some more done

day off complited. quite happy with the results


Automatically Appended Next Post:


heres a little more WIP. i did notice that the flamer termie has the most purity seals on him, kind of ironic as hes setting things on fire. the one with the genestealer on is nearly done, ive just got to buy some new paints to do the stealer its self.
I did have a few sheets of cork board arrive today so should hopefully get them based soon and onto the finished section. ive since got a layer of red on the captain, bothing on the libby yet tho

i was going to get some more pics, dam you internet for not working

WIP ive just realised ive used the wrong shade of blue, hes going to look like a stealer


Automatically Appended Next Post:

finished!!


Automatically Appended Next Post:


flamer complited too

the most recent complition, the ass cannon

Little more WIP

thats him all finished up now, still on the desk are the libby alongside one of the termies, hes holding onto the dead stealer, im just waiting for the chance to get some new paint colours from gw to get them finished, hopefull im happy with the stealer colouras it will mean i can paint up the nids half of the box

ive had a little break from painting and plogging but im back once again. ive even got some new shinys in the form of more termies plus a chaplin in term armour, also ive got a few boxes of nurgle deamons tho you cant realy call them shiny. works progressing well with the remainder of the hulk force. ive finished the last marine just got him to base alongside getting a solid blue tone on the libby and a few areas starting to be blocked out with colours.

WIP



Automatically Appended Next Post:


just needs a base, its made just not yet painted

thats the last two marines painted and based up ready to game, either in 40k or indeed a game of space hulk. its not taken too long to paint up the set and im realy happy with the results, at some stage in the near future i would like to go over the brown purity seals with some highlight. idealy i could re do the gems a little better and im considering a slight change to the crux colouring for a greyer tone. possibly some highlights to the objective marker too......possibly
as for the rest of the nids in the box...on the to do list in around three projects time.
firstly ive got some more blood angels to build up and paint. i went for a finecast chaplin in terminator armour alongside a box of the newish blood angels terminator assault. a little project.
Marines do take me a little time so ive also opted for some nurgle deamons as i can do them quite quickly and its a variation to paint up, ive allready a small force, well probably a good sized unit so a couple of boxes of plauge beareres and some nurglings will be a welcome break.

got the chaplain complited, quite a straightforeward model to work with, plus over the years ive painted the model a few times. theres even a sneeky shot of my next project whitch is nurgle for fantasy

ive dug out the other half of space hulk and figured the stealers need some love too. going with small batches so i dont need to slog threw them all at once. first days work, made bases and painted them up for the most part. early days. going for a classical themed colour scheme, something more garish than would ordinaraly be used on 40k models.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


nearly finished the blues, just a final highlight. ive done more models than i have pics so i should be having regular updates on this one. also i figured this colour scheme can be applied to larger models in a regular army if i decide to go that way with them.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


first one is done

so far ive three complited, another day off work with a bad back so lets see how many i can nail-hopeing to get the tally to around 7 plus


Automatically Appended Next Post:


got a few more done so thought i would do a pic whyle im waiting for washes to dry on the next three. on track for geting 8 done today


Automatically Appended Next Post:


lookin good, ive also got my next two days painting sorted out. day one is five more stealers, day two is the brood lord with a painting guide. Helpfull if you want to know how to do these guys-also handy for when i forget my colour schemes. Im kinda cheating as ive allready started on tomrows nids

off to a good start. tho ive noticed i only have two more of the larger marine sized bases left to mount these guys on, so work could come to a halt shortly.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


work so far today, hopeing to get the last couple done before the end of the day then its on to bigger things


Automatically Appended Next Post:


thats the lot for today, happy with the result, once i get some similar nid stuff finished i will add it here, tho i dont want to photograph every nid, onto the painting guide for the brood lord next

So im allontrack painting up this guy, in a day. ive tryed to cobble together a painting guide for anyone to use. first off its basic assembly and prime the model with halfords car primer, its better than a traditional black as the model finishes a few shades lighter, plus its loads cheaper. the base is a cork tile clued down then primed in regular chaos black spray


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Skin, kantor blue-i got with a couple of thin coats to not lose any detail.
Metal. bit harder this one, ive used tinbitz, an old gw paint. in order to make it duller and age it give it a coat of carobourg crimson shade. once this is dry waterdown either hawk turquoise or temple guard blue, the let it flow from the brush into the recess, gw makes a tecnical paint for this-ive tryed it and realy dislike it


Automatically Appended Next Post:


stage two. do a solid coat on the skulls.
the skin i only highlight certain points, allmost only whats on the upper part of a model keeping everything else darker in the recesses or where the creature naturaly shades it.
use the colours in the pics for these stages.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Give the skulls a solid shade with gryphone sepia, the new earthshade works just fine too, its just i still have a drop of this to use up.
do edge highlights in the blue, once its dry give it a liberal shade of the purple, again this stage uses the colours in the pic


Automatically Appended Next Post:


re edge highlight in the blue followed by a solid base coat of the purple on the head hands and feet. once its dry use the lighter coloured purple to pick out raised areas, more so on the face


Automatically Appended Next Post:


to finish the skin add a waterdown coat of the emperours pink t theprevious highlights, once dry splosh on some more purple shade.
tounge, firstly use the darker colour-screamer then when its dry highlight with the lighter coloured pink, horror

more to follow once i get it photographed

ive got him finished up now so i will add the final steps and a pic. ive also nearly complited a swarmlord, and around five more stealers. hopefully get the pics on today

Test upload

I've not been doing much in the way of plogging recently, I moved house and had a huge clear out of models. Most of my irks have gone now. I needed the cash and they just seemed to be everywhere. Also they never got played so we're a little wasted. I've decided to continue my nids and blood Angels, I'm painting slightly differently in regards to takeing more time and care on each figur. This seems to be going better as I'm not throwing out loads of money each month. I'm a little behind in uploads so will get on it asap. Also some projects did not get fully finished and are in store age at the moment. That's all my nids and half my Angrls

I'm really pissed off about the death of warhammer. Two lovely army's I have with no need to see the light of day again. With that in mind I decided to convert some of the new aos stuff. Here's a Chaplin, fairly easy conversion to do but very happy with the results

I'm uploading from my phone, no idea how to get the images the correct way

Love this guy.

Wip. Very early stages of painting. I'm going to start playing at some point so needed a good hq. Another plus is the colour will add another dimension to the force.

He's much closer to finishing. I was going for a covers face but it won't fit in the armour. Not a fan of bare heads but it is what it is

Got him finished off now. Happy as far as painting white goes. I've now got my hq choices done.

This guy is too cool a model not to own, did a quick head swap as I'm still not too into flesh heads. He was limited but now on a general sale from ge

Just having a test to see about loading from my I phone. Wip of one of the limited edition space marine captains. I've not much left to go on him, or indeed the army as a whole, say about thirty models all in

Blood Angels are looking good, the headswap on Karlean is a good shout, I did the same. Not a fan of bare heads on Space Marines.

EDC

Thanks for the kind words, always good to hear from a fellow ba collector,aiming to get them all together at some point for a army shot. Got a few ideas for a Dante conversion using the new chaplain

Got this guy finished this eve. He's fairly standard out the box except for the head swap.

Lovely Miniature!

Have you considered painting the winged skull on the storm bolter? and adding some color to the ceramite studs on the armor? I think it would benefit greatly from that!

Cheers!

There's a couple of thing I'm going to go over and re-work on the army as a whole, the boaters are something to consider too. Mainly it's gems and purity seals getting a little more work. The stuff are a little small for me to shade or layer so I've just opted for the bright green to make them pop a little.
Next up is my salvage squad, sounds cool but they are literally describing a five man squad I've pulled from my blitz box

Here's the salvage squad finished up. I don't really need them
For anything but had them so decided to paint them
Just for the fun of it.

Making bases, not so much fun. But there's hopefully plenty here to see the army finished

Not the worlds best addition to a plog, but it's a big stage finished up. Now I can get on with some proper painting

WIP I've gone for a squad of scouts with sniper rifles. These we not the regular ones as I think these guys are way better looking. Hopefully get them
Finished up in the next few days.

Sorry for the double post.

Sanginour, wip

I've been on and off finishing little projects and having a tidy up of unfinished/unloved models. So I've done all my ogre kingdoms army with these guys being the last few. I've slid got a few nids finished up and a jucy fex up on the bench next

Back to my angels after a break painting up a slew of tyranids. I got hold of dark imperium so it's time to add a few prinaris to the force.
Trouble is I can't remember what colours I used on the other models-going to do a stage by stage painting tut to remind my self for future reference.

The early stages of the dark imperium box set-this could take a while ...

First one out the vat. I don't even know how many there's to do
In this massive box set.

As I finish off the first squad I thought I should record the paint scheme for the blood angels.
Primed grey with Halfords primer
Sprayed with gw Mephiston red
Touched up with mephiston red w

Stage one

Stage two. Medium wash of caroburg crimson

Two after letting it dry then back into mephiston after this for a solid base colour leaving the shade in the recesses

After the mephiston has dried build up a brighter colour using evil suns scarlett

Finally an edge highlight of wild rider red. That about wraps up the armour.
Just got to do the ton of details on him next

A quick guide to remind me of the colours.
Leadbelcher. Nulin oill. Runefang drynrush followed by more oill.
Head.balthzar gold, gold,runefang highlights with nulin wash
Runefang over leadbelcher for the trim.
Mephiston red, nulin wash. Mephiston red with evil suns high light

Little bit of work on the fw beast

Blues completed on him , well on the arms and head anyway

I've wanted to enter army's on parade for years-finally did

I’ve been away from here for a bit. Hopefully this dump will make up for it
