This is so epic! It reminds me of the early 20th century gatling guns that poured out firepower like flamethrowers. Nice paint jobs, too!

Thanks Killy! Much appreciated man!

Thanks Dave! I thought that was what you had said a while ago, but I wasn't certain. That is the lowest price I've seen for that AB!

glominescent ´s stuff is very unique! i follow his thread for quite some time now... his last update is still on my to read list tho will do that asap^^

oh NVM- you've already been there

To better answer Weety's question from before about the Windex that is always present in the background of my painting bench...



But I usually do a few additional steps, because I know how sloppy I can be

-Between fillings of the cup with windex, I wipe out the cup with a rag
-Folding the rag and holding it tight to the nozzle causes backflush and the windex bubbles back out of the cup
-Spraying windex on the regulator cap helps detect a clogged nozzle or loose seal, the air release will blow bubbles
-I use a Citadel Stippling Brush (grey stripe) to clean gunked paint out of the regulator, because that is the only thing on earth that brush is good for.

..Anyways...time fer sum Dakka!

cant wait to see some riveted orks! and im jelous of you getting that plane, i want it more than most models out today

$45.50 is not bad, the price of a tank kit...I think it is priced right.

I have somewhat joined Dave, I has Dremel!

Yay Dremel!! Smile BIG while grinding and making wonderful noise Shas!!

dsteingass wrote:Yay Dremel!! Smile BIG while grinding and making wonderful noise Shas!!

I picked up the pistol grip and the chuck for my drill-bit, so I am now no longer bore drilling or pinning to the Arthritis anymore!

Good Tools are ALWAYS a good investment!

I think I really like painting Ork skin

Lascannon and ork turned out pretty snazzy! you should make a gang of orks to terrorize your underhive

Thanks Bama, but I'm not quite done yet

Yeah, Orks are the most straight forward when it comes to paining them.

well he looks done to me man. either way he is still looking good.

i like this ork!

Thanks, lots of little details that need contrasting colors

You ought to go see my Bren, I made it very contrasting,,,,with filth and grunge!

I did..The mud is excellent!

I see you caught the "green" bug off of Weety

Looking good btw

Thanks Childe! -Yep I got bugs from weety
...and..
What's that loud noise??....

you know uc that sounds kinda dirty when takin out of context just saying.

Looks like it's the sound...
*sunglasses on*

OF PROGRESS



The ork looks ace - I think you've got the shadowy recesses to the skin down well. Weety's zenithal highlight seems to be a much lighter green than yours - maybe that's what you're seeing that's different? I think he looks great as is, tbh, it's a pretty stylistic choice

Are you planning any OSL for his eyepiece light thing?

WOW, that kit is so much bigger that I had imagined... (I had to reword that for the flithy minded blighters out there).

I'll have to get my hands on the stormtalon some time... I think I need to Pre-heresy-fy it

p.s. I still love all the rivetty posters around your workplace - some inspiring propaganda for while you work?

Dude, you don't know me well enough yet, everything I say (just about) can be taken in a dirty way... I take pride in it

HAHA It's Rivet Propaganda! - of course it inspires me!

oooh a shiny! that looks awesome! not all of us are filthy minded blighters. it think it is a british thing in your subcocscious (feck it i cant spell that today) that it comes out dirty sounding

hey dave... you really need to explain why after years and years of catachan influence and deeds you then switched to munda and now prepare a green tide??? all because of the bomma? hmmm... of course that would be a good choice any day^^

the lil green ape looks quite good...the red tnt bit really helps to make it less dark looking... what have you planned to do about the base?

and i bet you know aim for that extra title as an orkish riveteer^^

and yes... from these still sprued parts the bomma looks quite big...

Subconscious < thats how you spell it Ironic that, me, who's a dyslexic, can actually spell it

but also, subconscious? why limit it to there, when it can be made concious thought for all to witness

true but on that same note if you are making the conscious effort to not make it seem unremarkable then your conscious thought of dirty has one by subversion

Subversion is my middle name don'cha know?!!!

according to your screen name its unearthly

My screen name is a description of me

but also a reference to the longest running TV series of all time

Vik, I've been slooowly building an Ork army for several years now, These aren't my first

i wdamn i rolled dumb i have know idea what show it is. i failed my pop culture check....

Looking at all the extra Dakka that comes with the Bommer, I may get one just so I can finish the scratch-built Bommer I have waiting to be done.

Yes, it has many lovely bitz!

dave mighty ork army needs to loot the guard bitz or it gets the hose.

hell if i knew you about a year ago i would have givin all of my ork bitz to you i think i got a head flying about some where and a silly warboss that i keep for sentimental reasons

Finally got to watch the Christmas special for season 6 of the new stuff. Matt Smith doing a quite manic job as usual.

An unearthly child was the title of the first ever episode of dr who IIRC

that is the aobr set of orks with the odd addition...not too shabby looking i might add^^

THanks Vik!- Just the boss and Nobz from aobr partially painted- the others are the old plastic boyz. I have a bunch more primed though.

I smiled at those tips of the hat. I grew up on Tom Baker series on Public Brodcast Service. Sarah Jane, Leelah, Romana at his side.

I grew up on re-runs of it on BBC2 lols... gawd I'm feeling old now lols.

These parts are amazing..soo many possibilities!

buil;dlooks like it is coming along very nicely. are their any noticiable problems with the kit?

no...everything fits perfectly

The only problem is deciding which variant to build

Thats the ONLY reason I haven't bought one yet... seriously i can't make up my mind at all!

well the wd did just come out so you could stat crunch or you could always rule of cool.
personally i like the third then the second then the first but thats just me

so far I have committed to these rear stabilizers


and the bigger thruster option (duh)

can never go wrong with a bigger thruster. yea man it is coming together nicely. i was thinking about picking up one of the sky talons for my space marines but im still on the fence about it.

The wing flaps can be modeled open or closed

It reminds me of an Orky MiG-15/17

Quite a fun side project you have here, Dave!

I'm pretty impressed with how un-orky the bomber is. It might actually be convertable into some imperial flyer (Gasp! Xeno-heresy!)

Don't really feel like reading 260 page's worth of dakka, but I read your first page (which AFAIK is edited every so often with updated progress), and all I have to say is nice work, and you have much more of a steady hand and eye for detail than I do
I'll try and read the last few pages and carry on from there ^^
BTW I love the steam-train walker

Faster looking Storm Talon maybe. Out of the three I think it's the best one.

Model the wings Open!

Model the wings Open!

There are also two different styles of flaps to choose from, which change the look of the wing


The wing connected straignt


And this other bit, which serves three different purposes

1. Gives the wing a swept, angled up look (totally MiG Fishbed)
2. Gives a spot for another Supa Shoota
3. Gives another hardpoint for another bomb



Automatically Appended Next Post:

MAKE IT A MiG!!!

Dakka Options!


Nose fuselage options


Rear Fusealge Options

The Grot gunner can be built as a 360 degree bubble turret, or a static rear-facing gun for after dive bombs

All the options... all of them, use them all!!!

HAHAH Trust me!
..tryin' to tink like a propa' Ork 'ere


But I really need to decide what role this fighter will play, you really need to pick one at this point:

This is NOT a DOGFIGHTER kit, remember that, all three options for this kit are all different Ground Support craft- these can be used in regular 40k games, so no need to have an Air-Superiority or anti-aircraft plane, - you need Apocalypse units to really play dogfighting top-gun stuff

Dakkajet- The Most Shooty option:
-the pilot/owner bolts as much Dakka as possible to the plane, and is a better shot because of it (more guns means something is bound to hit) +1 BS vs. non-flyers- This makes an Ork shoot as accurate as any regular human troop BS3.

Burna Bommer-
-Dropping napalm is sooo Orky!
It can drop a S5 AP4 pieplate flamer bomb every turn, and has skorcha missles, which do the same damage, but lg. template at range

Blitza-Bommer:
This is an Orky Stuka dive bomber!
-Drops a s7 ap4 Boom Bomb, and then you roll on a table to see whether you hit the deck, causing a spectacular orky explosion, or pulled up just in time, to all of the above AND your grot rear-gunner gets to pop something on the way up!

Dakka-jet every time imo...for me the others don't suit my style of playing, and tbh, I'd get what they do with other elements of the army. the +1BS is always a good thing with orks lols.

^ (btw childe im doing you banner right now, hopefully i can finish before i go to GW)

Cheers RW, mucho appreciatto!!!

Here is everything, all cleaned up



Boom Bombs

To make it MiG-like, and the plane it mostly looks like is the 15 aka "Fagot"

MiG-17 aka "Fresco"

Can we see a comparison pic next to your Marauder?

Thanks Rawson!- That's a good Idea, I'll do that

There are already threads trying to magnetize the kit, as well as discussing the use of the kit in the end days of 5th edition.

did you go with the dakka jet variant then Dave? can't tell the difference between them lols

I'm making my own Supa Killy version

I'm having fun with it, having such RULES is in it's very nature un-orklike
I will have at least three of these before we are all done

That looks like such a fun kit to build, and so many options!

Just like the IG Valk, I'm pretty sure that once I'd built it, I'd spend the next half an hour waving it round my flat making nyeowwww noises

Already doing that Scarp!


I need to mask the stand and it'll all be ready for paint/

again thats lookin pretty snazzy.
I have flown around my house with a razorwing haven't done that with my storm raven.

I was thinking that front grill could hold MOAR DAKKA myself, but I liked the turbocharger intake, it was too comical and OTT and completely unnecessary for me to pass up

I'm so proud of you Brian!! Drop me a link to the thread that covers your builds!!

I'm not sure I'd start a new thread. Once the Ordinatus is finished, my plog thread will be switching over to OMFG AIR FORCE.

Note: Did not buy any Necron fliers. I can't bring myself to buy Necrons. In fact, I should really sell off the ones I have (bought and painted pre-Codex) since, in the new codex, they're all absolutely useless.

Please tell me you're not going to build the storm ravens/talons stock?!

blacking in before inking the panel lines

Thank you, I finished it on Monday(6/4/2012) I was lucky enough to get it only a few minutes after the store put it out on Friday, and immediately started on it. The first time I have taken time off to paint something of mine in a long time.

Dood..I had fun building it...but I am having a BLAST painting it!

I'm mildly jealous of you right now dave having all that fun....

Have some fun of yer own!

darn... yet another weekend and i miss out on so much....

that figher sure looks stunning! how do you will work on further after that black lining? then with a regular brush? or with the detail AB?


and i second the need to see loyal imerial versions of this kit... heck if i had the money i would be demoulding the kit already... i think it looks beautiful and with all these option i hope you will soon built a nice tank from scratch to use up all these nice leftovers dave! you hear me?!!!

When will you learn to quit dakka-slacking on the weekends Vik?

Still plenty of painting still to be done here Vik, but mostly all brushwork.

SOmeday a tank Vik...someday

Dangit, I just started getting back to work on my Battlewagon, and now I want a Bomma too! WaaaaggghhH!

Looks freaking awesome Dave! You picked all the options I would have gone with! Nice!

Just got word that my Bommer is incoming.

Incoming!!!

I'm jealous! I need to save some more money before I get one.

It's an Air WAAAGH!

slacking ...darn... yeah i plead guilty on that one... we had a day out in the zoo... just the kids and me... wife stayed at home... boy... that was a walk and a half... i was totally pished after that... and the kids went to sleep way easy^^ after that i went zombie in front of the telly and let the day slip...well thanks for the backslap then

and mate... you know you want to make a dave (tm) tank...there is no stopping to do this... for this i even allow you to get yourself some tracks so you don´t have to make themn on your own

Hmmm, Dave making a tank! DO IT!

I still have two unbuilt Chimera kits, and 8 tanks I have never finished painting But thank you for your blessing on the tracks vik

i have already ceased with the nudgings to get gim to cast his stuff... but the need to see dave make his own tank is something i think we have to make a petition for...!!!

Speaking of, My thread has a fresh picture

You'd just fall asleep in front of the TV and miss all the WIP shots anyways Vik

now that was a low blow dave... i think you now have pulled succesfully a LDD or even a childe...


and at shaso... about to check on yon pics...see dave... i do catch up on all the happenings...

HAHAHA yes, but it WAS funny

I'm in an ornery mood - I should get painting instead.

why is it that i still have to look up certain words you lot chuck out at me...??? my teach never told me of "ornery ".... well then... get painting... we don´t need you to be the grumpy old man here^^

Mischeivous, not grumpy

HAHA Vik- you were right, they edited out my "Atrocious fit" in my review
http://web.ipmsusa3.org/content/diorama-ruins

lol... well i bet they get good money from the companies that get stared in those reviews... so they will protect their milking cows... everyone that is working for money gets corrupted eventually^^

Well, I wonder if I should add the Bommer to my one thread ??

of course!

Yes..do it!

are we still talking about you dave maing a tank?

And me showing Bommer progress on my thread as well. It has shipped, I wonder how long it take to deliver? I mean I am in WV and their US base is Maryland. Just one state between us.

If red ones goes fasta, how fast do shiny red ones go?
Seriously though, this is looking great. Might have to "invest" in one of these...

the orky skin on these looks the best so far you did... hope you know this?

Awwww bless, Daves domesticated

looking good so far dude... btw, are you going to be gaking yourself when it comes to battle damage like Ironman?


Odd question for you all... does anyone else other than me think GW's weathering and battle damage leaves a lot to desired in the 'Eavy metal teams stuff... I was looking through this months White Dwarf, and someones weathered a white scars bike with mud... but not the riders... yes, because they keep their armour so shiney mid battle

sorry, makes me mini cringe lols.

I know what you're talking about, on the show models the team seems to be very inconsistent with their weathering, and it isn't always the most realistic.

Its something thats bothered me for years... no one seems to bother looking at how things weather... and pristine SM's... eeeeeesh worst modelling idea ever!!!!

Thanks Vik! I am ACTUALLY following the Ork Skin painting formula from this month's White Dwarf! - See, the new system works!

With regards to GW making no sense, If you look through the BA codex there are some major inconsistencies. Different colour chest eagles, darker reds for one squad..... and so on. Its... its... its sad *cries*

Its lookin good dave, see ya tomorrow

My Mangalorks will love this plane! I just found it has left Tennessee? but is on the UPS system and will likely end up across the street! Silly lazy UPS guys!

AnUnearthlyChilde wrote:Yeah that makes a lot of sense Shas

Yep, Imean would they really care if some black shows through in places? It can depend on the Orks and how they may see that "Red Paint Job" Laid on thick, like Dave, or haphazard like mine, it still makes it go fasta!

what is that second metal color dave used on those engines? that looks very good together... it isn´t tin bitz now, is it?

Three metallic colors actually
Tin Bits and Brass Rail

I'm NOT doing a half-assed paintjob, sorry, but if you'll kindly wait until it is done, there will be more orkyness to it than you can shake a shoota at.

brass rail? that surley is not a gw color? any equivalent from them? hmmm... cause i really like that hue...

no, it's a P3 or Ral Partha color. I'm not sure what the new GW equivalent is, but it's the same as the old Brassy Brass.

Wow fantastic, that bomber is so fantastic!

And strange grot hahah! Thought of that when I first saw those massive bombs too

Thanks TS! once I pick up a couple more of these kits, I will definately be converting a grot to be riding one like a bull

@Childe- with a thing like this, you really need to paint it to look brand new first, then weather and damage it down after decals. It takes time, but soon.

You have one of the most -schizophrenic- eclectic approaches to this hobby that I've ever seen, and everything you've done has been really well done. Steampunk Lascannon to Ork Bommas in how short a timeline? And the sheer amount of genuine productivity is staggering.

Great work all around. Looking forward to seeing what madness you come up with next.

Thanks Skalk! I'll take "eclectic" as a compliment!

I'm totally with Dave. Work on what you love, and let the creativity lead you.

Oh, I know the approach Dave is taking, but I will have to show what I did to my battlewagon and stompa to show what approach I take for my orks and their "Painting style" I swear, I must be channeling an Ork Mek when I work on any machine of da Ladz!

oh no..I wasn't knocking anybody or their style, not at all.
I was just commenting that I like to paint things as they are fresh off the showroom floor before I weather it down. If I do weathering out of sequence, I always forget something. It's just more or less my process.

Yeah I get it. You work the way I do for my tanks, show room quality finish, then add the scratches, dings, dust and mud etc.

For my Orks though I go all sorts of haphazard, willy-nilly and chaotic as if I were an actual Ork slapping the stuff together and then slopping the paint unevenly all ofer it!

I was at work Vik

now that is a lame excuse as i ever heard one... and you told me off for dakka slacking...

HAHA- I only go there to support my habit/hobby

yeah... i know that one... i was young and needed the money...

I've been painting all night, it just doesn't seem like it yet

that looks great dave! all it needs now is some scratches and dings!

I love those checks! I just finished a load of them on my rhino and can attest to how hard they are. Will you do any more? On the wings mayhaps?

Keep it up

Proto

Thanks Prototype! - Yeah- I definately need to do more!

Soon rogue, soon...you and Vik will just have to deal with this much until tomorrow evening

looks good for factory fresh man, cant wait to see it dinged and scratched

Hey D, I gotta say. I dont play orks anymore. But this..... this amazing peice of kit, and your amazing paintjob. Is inspiring me so much, I think I may need to pick one of these up.

Well, aside from the badly applied red paint job my oprks will give my finished bommer, it will also get a "Lucky bloo" racing stripe! as all my red painted vehicles get.

This bommer is looking really good Dave!

these checkers look very good... i bet you have been totally cramped by doing this... i know i would... but i just love these!!!

and i can wait... just i don´t wanna

lol...

what additional color do you want to include to that scheme by the way? i like the idea of adding blue into the mix... heck why not do something to get a twisted version of a stars and stripes on that bird? or try a lil freehand and do the ork cheerleader as a sort of freak pinup

Maybe just a few more checkered areas like the flaps or a bit on the tail.

This bommer is looking really good Dave!

I think I will add "Go Fasta" stripes to one of the other two! Good idea

what additional color do you want to include to that scheme by the way? i like the idea of adding blue into the mix... heck why not do something to get a twisted version of a stars and stripes on that bird? or try a lil freehand and do the ork cheerleader as a sort of freak pinup

Thanks Vik...I thought about some yellow Dags maybe?

Yeah definately some on the tail, we'll just have to see what the paintboyz are in the mood for

Same here. Of course w/ my Nurgle stuff I use GS etc, but the first paint job is "straight from the shop" and then I proceed to mess it up from there.

Yep Skalk...That is really the proper way to do it, at least in every modeling book I have read.

I don't think my readers realize that the base paintjob isn't done yet. Even Orky aircraft would have to be somewhat maintained to be able to keep flying.

There isnt any other way to weather is there?

Surely painting a panel fully, then weathering then moving on would just lead to disparity?

Depends on the look. Sometimes, for Orks, that works very well. It also works for "scavenged vehicles" made out of a bit of this and a part from that.

True, but aircraft weather completely differently than ground vehicles do.

dsteingass wrote:True, but aircraft weather completely differently than ground vehicles do.

...have you ever seen how Orks fly Bommers?

Yeah yeah...at least they don't have teflon dirt-proof armor like the almighty marines

hey its not teflon its windex that way they can spray and wipe

Well, I will definitely get some shipped and gitty look to my bommer, but I am waiting on the USPS here now.

Thanks Man!- My GF suprised me yesterday and ordered 2 more kits for me! - Now I will have a WING of them to harrass my Marauder Destroyer, which means I will need a couple of FW Thunderbolts to fly escort - This will turn into a huge Imperial Vs. Orks Cold War!

2 more!! Your painting 2 more!? No! I dont think my wallet can take it!

Yep! My GF is awesome!

wow...that wing idea sounds too good to be true... i am so envious...

those FW models... how do they look? i think i never saw these...

First..Here is the bEST painjob on a Bommer that I have seen to date!

http://alariccantonain.canalblog.com/
It's all in French, so I have no idea what it says..but scroll down and look at the pics!

Then check out the teef on this one!


And Vik, the THunderbolt looks liek this

Dave, I love his P-38 Lightning version of an ork bommer!!! tis sweeeeeet

Yeah..I've been thinking about how you could do that with the new plastic bommer kits

that flying fortress is awesome...brings forth a whole new side to the game... dogfights.... well this is utterly cool!
and the first model is surley a scratchbuild?


the yellow one i find particular intriguing.,.. somehow i think yellow is atm one of my favorite colors...tho it is THE royal painters pain^^...

and i somehow assumed it would have been an ork model...the thunderbolt well this would look too awesome if one could do such a scene...

Personally, while its a cool idea Dave... I think the bommer kits main fuselage is too fat for it to look right... maybe for the central pilot fuselage it'd work, but I think it'd be a question of scratch building the other two booms as they are much thinner!

I'm also been musing plans to convert a stormtalon, by extending its tail section and lengthening the wings, but also reconfiguring the weapons hard points... the whole thing for me is a tad confusing to look at, and it really doesn't look like its capably of flying

I think it is scratched Vik! Cardboard rivets!

I know..I was very tempted to paint this yellow too!

It can't fly Childe..lol It's a brick
I wouldn't want it to look exactly like a p-38 though...

at dave yellow with AB is one hell of a good choice i say!!!

and childe... that stromtallon could fly... if i toss it at the next wall... i think this is again one epic failure for the SM... drives me further away from ever competing my SM army... really... after the fling brick we get a brick looking fly...do i sense a pattern here?

Fair enough Dave...

and the brick side of things is why I want to change it

Im never too enamoured by ork vehicles that are a uniform colour tbh.

personally i blame the first flying brick the storm raven.
on the topic of cool planes liken them pretty good the fighter with the guns is too much looks great teeth are a nice touch (its still to clean though) yours is gonna prolly look a lot better

Well, the one bommer is likely smaller than the scratchbuild, so this will help me finish the scratchy one, and oh man can't wait to them paint 'em both!

i bet the kit will help you finsih the scratchbuild one easier... as it will have enough dakka for you to go all mad on it...!

And Bombs too!

AnUnearthlyChilde wrote:it really doesn't look like its capably of flying

Neither does this, but it does.

aye...you gotta have ´em^^

and skalk...hahaha^^

True Skalk... but I'm still going to extend its tail section and lengthen the wings while angling them down. it just makes more aerodynamical sense to me tbh...

aerodynamical sense for a kit that has the whole mass stored with the cockpit and some frilly bitz attached that others would call count as wings^^

I REALLY like that idea Childe! Go for it!


Ceramite White is AWESOME!

ONE coat!!!

Lol, The Apache and Cobra hardly look like they can fly either, but they do... and don't even get me started on the housing block that is the Hind-D

It'll be some time Dave before I do... I really need to get 1500pts of my nids bought before I go too much more off the beaten track (says the guy who's bid £50 on 20 SoB )

The ceramite looks awesome!!!... I'm going to try some pre weathering at some point (using masking fluid over pre painted battle damage)

wow that new white is pretty awesome i may have to break down and get some.

ah the yellow beast looks better now.

still yours is gonna be awesome too dave.

Yep, and this is also the Abaddon black...Very dense pigment!

My eyes have gone checkerboard

thoser are good checks. you could of went crazy and painted the whole thing in checkers O.o.

Thanks Bama! I have to put some on the rear now.

dsteingass wrote:Thanks Bama! I have to put some on the rear now.

You put some on your whatnow?

again with the dirty mind uc? we already had that discussion

yet you secretly love it Bama

shhhhh thats supposed to be a secrect

oh Childe...

Nice checker board work all over that jet. I have tried and tried to do checkerboard. No matter what some one says, it isn't easy. Mine always looks like a kindergarden kid did the paintjob for checker boards.

Thanks Martin!- No it is nOT easy...however, the new foundation or base paints cover well enough, that fixing them is a bit easier.

Huh, thats only one coat?! Ive been having so much trouble with my checks, maybe I should pick up a pot.

Looking stunning as per usual, keep it up.

Now I can't wait to see it get the treatment Ironman did.

Facile, avec Google. Si c'est trop dur ou si vous êtes paresseux.

Here are this week the release of some flying vehicles plastic at GW. I bought a plane ork. About this kit: First, this kit is of excellent quality. The leaflet is comprehensive and error-free, installation is thereby greatly facilitated, especially since the box can be mounted three different devices to choose from, with modular positioning fins, a diversity in the appearance wings, and a choice of glass. Tip for dakkajet: Note that it is not shown how to add the super-extra dakka on dakkajet. There's two options: use the basic weapons of Blitza wing (but it changes the silhouette of the aircraft) or insert the dakka supernumerary entries side reactors. This is the best number of clusters / price among the new features: three for two clusters in the Stormtalon and Nightscythe. So there is promise of rabiots (Bitz or if you prefer), and this promise is kept. Indeed, it is entitled to a few head of pilot ork grot and used more, and a turret and cabin additional plates. Parts I mounted two military models orks up, and being painted.

Note a few touches of humor in the kit, as the central pad and the anchor chain for landing (who spoke about realism?), The son of the electric cabin, some of which are cut, the driver and his scarf flies in the wind (so cliche), the turret to the big fling Blitza Bommer whose firing angle is reduced to the rear stabilizer ...

For painting, I followed the same pattern with two dominant colors (blue and white) for the Chassa-Bomba showed there shortly. Missiles and bombs are red, and I added some black and yellow chevrons on the wings and fins to break up the color code. Canopies in red to add a focal point. Some views of the pilot and grot:

Then ends with a joke.

Assembly time: 2 hours. Time to paint: a very big day (12 hours).

Ok, I paint very fast. Blame the XP accumulated over twenty years.

No Filipinos or Chinese in my cellar, Mr Pestilus.

Haha- Thanks not_u

"or insert the dakka supernumerary entries"

That's a really nice job on the checkers. I'm going to have to try out the new GW paints then. I'm out of white and black paint anyway (except for my Tamiya which I don't particularly like) so this is an excellent time to give it a try.

I think the Abaddon Black will replace my all-time favorite Polly-S Steam Power black from now on. GW really made the right decision with the new paint mfr.

I just looked at the paint range. The washes are now called Shades. http://search.games-workshop.com/search?locale=us&keywords=shade

No Dev Mud, no Ogryn Flesh, no Griffon Sepia, no Badab Black. Great. Now I get to figure everything out again.

CURSE YOU GAMES WORKSHOP!!!

As long as they are pretty close I am not completely fethed over and have to figure out a bunch of ratios again later.

http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2320032a_Citadel_Conversion_Chart
so you can see what the new and old colors are

The names don't mean gak..they never did- Badab black was always just black, now it is nuln oil. They are just the same basic colors.

GW Washes have never been, and still aren't any different than any other brand of wash.

Just got my Bommer! Has any one else noted that of all the races in 40k, the Orks understand the rule of aerodynamics by using a rounded leading edge on their wings?

The Imperials all use wings as straight edged as a wall!

the impirium uses the humming bird theroy if we make it go fast enough it should fly no matter what the shape

Yay! I\m cought up on this thread now! I've missed so much..
The lasgat looks freaking ace Dave I just have to let you know that.
And the orks are top notch. Just amazing. Love the checkers.

The one thing that I was wondering was if you are going to attempt to pain some sort of pin-up on it. Or maybe a pilot crest? I had also thought that you could put differnt stamps on him signifying his kills. Little tanks and planes?

Yeah, but it gives me something to complain about. CURSE YOU GAMES WORKSHOP!

Is there really a need for reason to curse GW?

price raising again

Right, but even with that there isn't really a need for reason.....

80 bucks for a land raider? seriously?

Cursing them for no reason is just as justifiable as having one.....

TRUE THAT MAX. TRUE THAT.

Hey dsteingass,

I just found your thread. Nice work. I like the DakkaJet for sure!

Sub'd

Thanks Guts! - Welcome!- I keep page 1 updated with anything significant on a semi-sorta-regularly basis as a summary..Lotta pages of BS in-between

but not on the same plane as the checkerboard pattern.

yup! that woould make the model too busy then... you definatly have a cool composition already here...!

hey i come here for the bs dammit the models are a nice bonus! :thumbs up:

^LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! If i wasnt so tired right now i'd sig that

Indeed.

The moment you've all been waiting for...

Inspirationuhl Dave!

thats exactly how it looked with my blind eye!

HAHA Thanks Shas!

I thought so Rogue! lol

I'm afraid you are growing a third, warp eye to compensate

dsteingass wrote: I'm afraid you are growing a third, warp eye to compensate

so thats what that was! ooooh... but dont worry, it wont see anything from where it is

I gave the whole thing a liberal bath of Agrax Earthshade (devlan mud, brown wash) I think tomorrow night that I will add some fine highlights around panel lines with orangish-red, then maybe some airbrush soot and probably call this one finished eh?

That DakkaJet looks great! Well done. Weathering really puts the topper on it.

jobs a gud un boss!

Go to my thread Dave, look at the size comparison of the Dakka jet/Bommer against my "Sky Shark" Bommer.

Thanks Guts and Bama!- I really do appreciate it guys!

Shas..It looks like you've got some work to do!

Oh my gawd... dave...you ruined it!!! it looks so wasted... all that god money... put to...wait for it...good use

the scratches looks nasty and as if that pilot is used to tackle other aircrafts instead leaving the taken down work to his gunners

cool work mate...

also...using the white decals for the kills was a good decision!!! and are there signs of sponge weathering? or how did you weather the smaller sections?

by the way... seeing the checkered parts...you see why you have to do the showroom paintjob first and then ruination after that... it would simply look not the part the other way around!!!

*pats daves head* "good boy"

Looks cool. I'm surprised it's killed so many other aircraft. When I think Orks and vehicles first thing that always comes to mind is ramming the hell out of the enemy with it.

I don't know about those kill tallies I don't think you should be able to display them until you have earned them

They're Orks it could even be previous owners that were bashed and had it taken from them. Or even count the number of grots sucked into the intake when it started or ran over on the run way. Kills are kills.

Rawson wrote:

LOL- ALMOST!

Thanks a lot guys!

Yep Vik..Sponged it up with Rhinox Hide (dark reddish brown high-pigment base color)

Yet again, Dave has outdone himself.

I am not a fan of the water release decals but on yours there is not telltale glistening-ish edge around them. Did you wash or anything else with paint over them?

Using Micro Sol and Micro Set is the way to make decals look like they are painted on!

There's a very simple technique to make decal edges go away. You apply gloss varnish to the surface, let it dry, lay down the decal, then matte varnish over it (ie: the spray varnish you typically apply, anyways.

Advanced techniques include using, as Dave mentioned, the products Microsol and Microset.

Microsol 'softens' the decal plastic, allowing it to settle into crevices, mold over curves forms (shoulder pauldrons, for example...)

Microset 'sets' the decal, making it adhere to the surface.

I still apply varnish down before using sol/set, but that's me.

---B.

Yep.. What Brian said...



If you are going to add oil-paint weathering though, a gloss varnish is essential, the oil paint is much easier to feather and blend over the smooth varnish. oil-paint weathering can create an amazing look if done properly, the only downside is that it can take DAYS to dry.

Wow, never heard of that stuff....


I swear if I read this thread long enough I will know everything there is to know about painting without ever having done it....


LOL

WOW! That thing look powerful-brilliant!

Sometimes I forget how well you paint. That is an excellent job. Wow. The weathering is perfect, I love the diminishing taper streaks from front to back on the wings.

The bommer is set to go to Primer spray today!

GoGo Shas!

Thanks Skalk! I could paint it even more, but I'm almost out of patience with this one It's about time to move on methinks- but I still have some highlights to do yet.

And Thanks Spartan!

Masterful weathering there Dave! I would cringe so hard painting damage over such intricate chequer-work, but it really paid off!

I didn't cringe until I soaked the whole thing in Agrax Earthshade!

However, it has dried all day and all night and this is how it looks now:



Do you think it needs highlights?

imo looks good as is but thats just me. at any rate cant wait to see what you start next.
