Yes, anvildude is right. And I usually just mix enough for one go on my palette. Like just one drop of paint and five or six drops of water.

ANYWAY... update on the tank and the big mek with kff

did a black wash (watered down chaos black, 6 water to 1 paint) on to the tank quite lightly into the metal and i am thinking it looks ok, still not finnished but closer. also did some of the base colours on the big mek. PICS BELOW



















CONSTRUCTIVE critism would be great thanks for looking

i think that all your metal looks too clean but i like everything else

also that guy is a moron id like to see HIM paint this good

Bah! Hater. I like Bigfish's style of painting. And he has gotten better since he as started this thread. There is negative criticism and constructive criticism. I believe Dakkadakka promote the constructive not the negative.
So as the old saying goes "If you don't have anything nice to say. Then get the hell out." Well thats how my mom always said it.

Oh and Bigfish if you want to do a trade later. Ork for ork let me know. Once I get caught up I'm game if you are.

prototype_X wrote:i think that all your metal looks too clean but i like everything else

cool's i was going to do some more black wash's on it because the wash i did befor was kinda more glaze like. i reckon 2 more thin layers and then adding the mud and i will see what i am thinking. The black wash has actually been awesome so far so im defo going to be using that on my tanks ans tompa from now on.

thanks guys

I think your painting has improved and that is by far the best use of scrap I have ever seen. You have everything in there!

I'll echo the metal comment - more washes of Badab Black/Devlan Mud really. A lot more. Just paint them on and let them dry as to get a dark metal it takes some layers.

Loving the freehand though.

And haters? Here? Naaaah. Proper Orky spirit dis lot iz.

Wow thatz on gde tak vat masng yde mak da yer gde da mek!!!
tranillation:
Wow, thats a really good tank you would make a good mek!!!

We can do boy for boy. Thats the most common. Or nobz and even specialized units (stormboyz, kommandoz, ect...) What ever you feel like doing.

riiight im kinda a meky maker so i might be able to make you a mek boy or a big mek depending on what bitz i can find and salvage from what i have.
and i dont really mind tbh. a painboy would be cool or a flash git. but i would want it in your clan colours if thats ok.
oh and would you want yours painted or just made up?

schank i looked and
"i have the technology"
to make you a awesome deathskull bigmek with burna, eavy armour and cybork body. i could also make a grot oiler to go with it as well.

A Pain Boy sounds fun. Never done one of them before. And yes I'll paint in my colors if you paint in yours. As for the pain boy I'm thinking like a Dr. Oct type back harness. And a oderly. I'm gonna have to go to the hobbie shop tomorrow morning and get supplies first. Running low on mats. So dont tell the wife. She will look me in the celler again. Smells like feet in there. You have been added to the list bigfish. Might take me a bit to get it done but you will have it.

ok painted it shall be, and a Dr. Oct back harness sound kick ass. i've already set up the basis of the big mek just need to sort him out a base and put him together. (i had the pieces already lined up for it for a while but he did'nt fit into any of my units so you shall have him)
and dont worry abouts time, no rush
thanks for offering the trade. anyway i will have yours made within the week but painting will be later.

im almost done making yours.... (i am really fast at building) i need to do some touch ups with green stuff but apart from that he is pretty much set up. i made a grot oiler/ammo grot. i'll explain on the picz.

BIGMEK








GROT BOT (ammo runt or grot oiler you can pick)










ok so the big mek first, it is a termi body with burnaboy arms a loota head and the legs from my old mega mek. i then added some extra armour in the form of the marine shoulder pads, and then gave him his set of meks tools.
next was the shoota, it is a bolter from the spacemarine bike set and a bolter from a OFP marine parts spure i had.

The grot bot thing is.. (inhales) a space marine bike wheel, a grot body from the lootas set, the grot head from the stompa kit, the klaw is made from scrap and a deff dread claw and the burna/skoorcha on the other side is made from a standard burna boy's burna, the eyes/ googly things are made from the deff dread kit and lastly the spike on the bike wheel is from the stompa kit.

the fluff is basically the mek built the grot bot after all his other grot helpers kept getting blasted to pieces or eaten or stepped on or the various other way a gretchin can die in a happy ork warband. so he took inspiration from the killa kanz and made his oiler a suit to help protect him from harms way. the suit also incorperates a klaw and a burna so the bot can help with battlefield repairs (and bloody combats) and a small wheel and suspension so he can carry his masters ammo and gubbinz.

tells me whats you thinks (i am going to clean it up quite a lot and drill the barrels just so you know)
hope you like it

Nice Like it alot:d

and man that Grotbot and mek are awesome like em alot aswel

Keep it up dude

Ow and Haters gonna Hate

UPDATE!
today peeps i did some more painting on the looted wagon and on the big mek with KFF.
took everyones advice on washes and did another 2 black washes all around and the 2 watered down bestril brown washes into the recesses and places that dirt would get stuck.
then using a technique i picked up from smurfmaster i weathered the tracks to look like they had just rolled through a WHOLE LOTA MUD.
i would be very happy to call this a finished model now but i just don'nt want to put it down. so next time painting some touch ups here and there and some more washes into the rivets ect. not really worth pictures for what i do next but hmm,. oh and i got some more colours on the mek. still quite a way to go with him but the model is a joy to paint, which is quite strange me saying that, but ANYWAY
ONTO PICTURES!

i loled at the "haters going to hate image" its quite cool indeed

I like what you've done weathering-wise on the wagon. You can almost see the Deffgun shots going in the side and blasting out the magazine, then the Lootas falling on it, cleanin' it out, and fixin' it up.

Right - now it needs some rust streaks down the sides

Likin the mek and the grot. Very nice. Got my restock of supplies today so once I get caught up I'll start on yours.

And you might want to have your orks take that tank to the car wash. That mud is really gonna clog uo the road wheels.

Loving these vehicles man, keep it up !

that mud looks real!

thanks, when you said that i kinda just realised that lootas are equiped with str 7 wepons that can only imobilise armour 13, makes perfect sense now, since they want the tanks to still work after the battle.
thanks for the comment.

siiiigh, lol. There is always more to do.
but ok , next time and it will be on the bolts dripping down.

thanks you , it is (jus incase you wanna know) ground up coffee into a powder, mixed with bestral brown and applyed liberally.
its really good. i am going to do it on all the trucks wagons and walkers at least a lil. (and another great plus is it makes your army smell like coffee )

mmmm coffee

update

i have done a lil bit of work on my black reach warboss and based the truck mob. still need to weather the looted truck though. oh and i am going to go and restock up on supplys soon so that willl lead to a lot more getting done.
anyway onto the warboss.





so the main things are, i made the shoota tri linked and i rplaced the lower claw on the power claw with a tyranid horn to make it more killy.
its only blue tacked now but it will be glued by tomorrow.

thanks for looking

Awesome plog man, orks represent.

loving the mud tracks, looking to do something similiar, care to share?
