@Lostsoul : oh nice. Thirty terminators you say ?
Are they visible somewhere ? I loooove terminators.

@Merlin : no problem !


And as I know that some people here love orkses, here is my Warboss on cyboar. It's almost finished, ready for dipping :

Nice! But he looks a bit weedy for a Warboss. A Nob however...

Sorry, twenty Sonic Blasters, only ten Terminators, the other ten Blasters are on my Havocs.
They aren't online but if enough people were interested i could be convinced to take pictures, they are terrible though, it was my first army.

Your ork looks wonderfully grim and thoughtful.

@ Arkasi : Weedy ? He's based on a WHB Warboss.
Well, okay he's smaller than 40K's Bosses, like the AOBR one. But I wouldn't say weedy. ^^
Anyway, he's my second boss so it's not a problem if my Big Boss remains bigger. But it's true that I could play him as a nob. I'll consider this option !


@ Lostsoul : oh, I thought it was 30 slaanesh terminators. It would have looked really cool.


I have dipped my boss/nob :



What do you think ?

Salut!

Great job by the way, I love well painted Ultramarines, and yours are excellent.

Sadly not, something to think about though. Maybe one day, i can only dream. If it makes it any better they were worth so many points it was sickening.

Your boss looks even more awesome after his bath!

You should definitely think about it. A terminator army looks so good. ^^

And thanks for the boss. I'm quite happy with the way he turned out.

Damn you! Now i'm considering building 'The Lost Soul's' second generation for the next codex. Not the current codex though, its horrific.
Hmm, all Daemonettes and Termis would be awesome...

Indeed it would. ^^
You HAVE to build this army now. Hear Slaanesh murmur those sweet words inside your head.

"Termiiiiiies..."

A preview of what's coming next : A mob of Ard'boyz !

Dem boys iz proppa modelled! I'z devinetly gonna be back ta see how ya paint them!

Nice 'ard uns!
I've been pushed by the nice people on dakka to add some more extra armor on my 'ard boyz and the result is preetty good IMHO, If You want check It out in my gallery, It may give You some ideas.

Looking good!

You, sir, are pure evil. The Prince of Excess has always had a hold over me and just when i think i've escaped, you pop up! It really has to depend on the next codex though, i can't stand what they did to us in the current edition.
If the next codex allows me to run Slaanesh Terminators with Sonic Blasters and Daemonettes not just 'Lesser Daemons' then i'll build a huge termi army.

Your orks look like battle hardened vets, they are going to look excellent when you get them painted up. Can't wait!

Haha.
You can't resisssssst. ^^



Thanks for the idea of adding other armour plates. On these ones it's too late because they are already half painted now, but I'll consider seriously doing so when I build some more !


On a french forum, friends told me that the cyboar rider looked good, but was too "brown" and their was missing some colors.
So I decided to put some white and pink on several areas :



Hope you like it.

Pink?? Naa, it looks waaaay too....pink! Don't leave it like that, paint some red over it. Orks are not pink!

I really liked it before. Please change it to red (or better, change it back!)

I quite like the pink actually, it's refreshing to see orks beside an interesting colour for a change. That and the white add some nice colour flashes which brings the model up a level, maybe the new colours could use some more weathering though?

Looks damn good. Unorthodox but effective

^^
Mine are. Haha.

Look, other people seem to like it.


I've painted a mob of 'Ard boyz. For this squad I chose the purple as main color, it works pretty well for me. What do you think ?



(click to go on my gallery page and zoom)
The blood angel helmet and the tyrannid... thing... on the bases are in reference to some of my friends armies.



Also, I have received lots of PM asking me where to purchase Viktoria, but it was sadly out of stock :



There are some back online here and here, I thought that this could interest some people here. ^^

Yes, they look good and 'ard.
I love the shadings and highlights on the trousers, well done!

Unbelievably cool! I've only ever been inspired to collect orks once before now. But your 'pink' orks make it twice, for some reason you never see orks with an interesting colour, particularly not ones painted as well as yours.

I must admit, I actually like the colors on that mob! They look tough like nails, very well done!

Wow, that's one of the nicest comments I ever received !

Anyway thanks to you three.


I've painted again, this time with my beloved Ultramarines :



I now have to paint the markings on shoulder pads and so on, and the weapons that are only undercoated because I only got them today. ^^

I still have to do the markings, but the weapons are finished. Hope you like it :

DO WANT.

You can buy them at WarForge, like Viktoria (see a few posts above).
I'm done with the markings so I have finished painting them, anyway I really enjoyed painting the weapons. I had never tried this hot metal effect on meltas but I'm quite happy with the result.



Edit : link to see the full size image (I'll add them to the gallery when I get a better photo) - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Jacobk/Figs/Armes_Warforge_07e.jpg

The flamers are still my favorite ones. They look damn good IMHO.

Some closer views I made for a friend !

Minus wrote:Wow, that's one of the nicest comments I ever received !

Well it is well deserved, your work is really amazing!

The marines are really nice and the alternative weapons makes them memorable which is a nice touch!

Oh, I hadn't seen your comment Casey's Law, thank you.

I'm currently painting some more orks, A friend of mine offered me Stormboyz, so here they are (still in WIP) :



Yep, they are pink.

i like the purple! makes them stand out in the hordes of yellow, blue and rusted orks!

Orks look surprisingly good with pink/purple. Of course, judging by everything else in your blog, you can make anything look good.
