The new Assault on Black Reach set has opened up a whole boatload of modeling ideas!

First off the rank is a converted Ork Warboss. I thought it would be fun to see how he would look in a jacket and hat.

As always, comments and criticisms welcome.

**karlfranz**

cool nice gs coat

**HuzzFivvNivv**

Nice Work

HFN

**FITZZ**

Freaking Great!!
He looks Realy good,love the coat...I'm assuming He's a Blood ax.
Exelent Job man!

**Joyous_Oblivion**

That looks very cool.

A touch of 2nd Edition with the size and nastiness of 3/4/5th editions.

**Sicarius**

You never cease to amaze me with your gs skills. I'm going to have to save up a bit of money for a commision project like this...

**Aduro**

The coat is swank, I love it. I don't care for the angle on the Power Klaw however. IMHO it would look better turned to the outside at a slight angle rather than in.

**groz**

LOL looks great!

**warpcrafter**

E'z Da Empereror'z right-hand Ork!

**whatwhat**

Brilliant. Nuff said.

edit: actually could I ask your advice on green stuff tools, at the moment i'm making do with home made ones which work but they're a bitch to clean and that's making it hard to make stuff look flush. Do you use the gw ones?

**InyokaMadoda**

Nice. Loving the style.

**burb1996**

Very nice gs there! And I second the notion of "What do you use to work with Greenstuff?".

**JD21290**

ill 3rd the notion

all i use is my trusty blade

can do pretty much anything i need with it

**biztheclown**

Really nice. I really like the epaulets.

**GhostHopkinson**

dude nice job on the boss, the ammo drum and coat + hat were nice touches!

**Cheese Elemental**

Great GS work there. He'd make an excellent Badrukk model.

**odinsgrandson**

Huzzaf for the BLood Axes!!! Woohoo and Waaaaaagh!

Really looks good too. You should do a whole Blood Axe Force!

I use a bit of a range of stuff, depending on what I'm trying to do. I have a stainless steel sculpting tool that my fiance bought me a few years back that does the bulk of the work... it actually has three different heads that swap in and out like an exacto blade, but there's one sort of spoon-shaped one that I use most of the time... and generally forget I even have the other two.

For smoothing work I use a clay shaper, which is a sculpting tool with a rubber head. They come in a variety of different shapes depending on what you want to do with them. I use a small conical one, which comes in handy for all sorts of things. Also have a flat head one, but it's on the worktable in the shed somewhere, and so I haven't seen it in months.

I also use a few tools from a soldering tool set (picked up from a discount store for about $2) that have a range of interesting shaped heads with various points and blades and the like. And do a lot of the bulk shaping and detailing when crisp lines are called for with an exacto knife.

Cleaning really just comes down to an 'as you go' sort of deal. Don't let those tiny bits of putty stay on the tools... they'll be harder to clean off when they set, they get in the way at odd times, and they stick to your fingers and wind up back on your work right when it's the most inconvenient...
