@djdutton: Thanks!

Some more progress. I've been taking pictures as I go, but the quality has been poor and I've been having trouble finding time to prepare and post - but here they are at last - better late than never:

Zoom in for huge Ork and Grot skin is complete. Grey is complete. The copious amount of black has been started - the metal is based 3:1 Chaos Black/Fenris Grey while the cloth is based 3:1 Chaos Black/Codex Grey. I've just today added weathering to the black with Fenris Grey, Chaos Black and finally Chainmail as well as Chainmail edges. I'm still to do a black wash - but I'm saving that for after I've highlighted the cloth.

On the plus side, I'm finally starting to get back into some form of rhythm - hope to get back to Da Dark Angelz soon! (Due date for above is next Saturday...)

WIP continues... photo is a bit better - you will need to click through for any detail though I think...

Black material highlighted with 1:1 Chaos Black/Codex Grey. All black shaded with Chaos Black. Looking much better in person - but I am really looking forward to adding the silver, gold, red and other details to bring it to life so to speak! Have an idea for the banner too...

What I can make out is looking very good - but it's hard to make it out at them moment just because it's all sooo dark.

I think the colours really will bring this one to life as you say, and I look forward to seeing what you do with the banner.

Keep it up!

Looking nice - I'm looking forward to seeing a few more colours on it to see how it 'pops'.

So much orky goodness. Now if it only came with a nougat center. Lets see some more pics with some more paint. That nob will be epic finished.

Thanks guys! Hopefully this post will sort you all out...

Right, WIP:


And as final as it is going to get for today's deadline - not sure which pic is best, maybe it doesn't matter...


While I plan to continue painting, this should pass for today's deadline Not sure if planned painting continuation will happen this week though - I've run out of teef wiv Da Boss regarding time to spend on this...

Doh! I just realised I missed the grot's nails...

Looks awesome Arakasi... simply awesome.

Wow, that Kommando is great !

Looks bada** !

Bada$$!! Will you be adding blood to the klaw?

I think it is the banner that just makes this for me, awesome

Looking damn good! Even with the green nails!

Thats wild, I keep losing the other arm under the mask's canisters

Looks sweet, and finished in record time too Good job.

I'm forever missing nails till I put up 'finished' pics too

Banner looks great, too... If a bit Skaven-y

@Gitsplitta, Yggdrasil, bigfish, NakedBatBoy, Eckeon: Thanks!

@CommissarKhaine: I'll probably add blood to the Klaw. Da Boss thinks I should add it to the banner too...

@monkeytroll: Not quite finished yet (and not just the nails), but still a record for me!

@Yggdrasil: It's meant to be an "A" (for Arakasi) in Ork teef/tusks - a lot of Ork letter glyphs are similar from memory - perhaps even a bit oriental - which I guess *is* a bit Skaven-y... but then Skaven are sneaky, and Kommandos are sneaky... wait - there is a hint (for those non-DCMs) in the other glyphs on the banner...

Awesome. He looks so dark and bad ass.

Oh and a great idea for a back drop. He is standing outside of a giant storm drain that empties out in a canal or something with a dead guardsmen or ganger at his feet.

Such a fun model. Again awesome.

Didn't read the whole thread, but I read the OP. Any chance of you using fantasy night goblins as "watcherz in'na dark" (that is the little midgets that live in the rock, right)?

Thanks again schank23. I think any backdrop will be awhile off - I do need to finish Da Dark Angelz! But I'll keep the idea in mind (most likely when I get around to another update post...)

@Sharkvictim: Start at page 50 - there is a *huge* catchup post that covers everything of interest up to that point. I have a box of fantasy Night Gobbos ready to go as Wotchas - but they are so far down the priority list... Thanks for chiming in!

I'm not that proficient in Ork language lol...

Good thing you are a DCM then!

Well, not that much... As I don't have any good idea about it...

I'm not deep into Ork kulture, so I'm struggling to find something I could do...

Plus most slots are already taken !

PM me some information about you and I'll see what I can come up with. I found the options a bit limiting anyway - all in all I'd rather be a Mek - but you do what you can

(Or start a thread - I'm sure I'm not the only one who could help out!)

I GET IT!!!

Very clever Arakasi...

At last! BTW - just received your GMS trade. I'll need to appreciate it more after "work", but, did you send it as two parts or three? (The Deffkopta blades were separate and looked like they were meant to be, but he is also separated at the knee to his base - which looks like it was separate at one stage, but not necessarily supposed to be during transit...)

I think I get it too, but only because I think I know what it is supposed to mean...

Or am I clear enough ?

If you guessed they were the glyphs for:

..then you would be right!

News release here!

Ok, maybe that's what I'll do... (start a thread)

Thanks !

So I guessed correctly ?

The glyph-maw means waaaagh, and the glyph-fire means dakka ?

Jup.

Just the lower teeth means 'grim'- though I actually think the shoota glyph might mean Dakka, and the fire glyph might mean Krak or Bang.

@Yggdrasil: Yes - you guessed correctly!

@Anvildude: I believe the shoota glyph is actually "Nob" I'd have to reference my Ork Codex to be 100% sure though...
