I think the rust is overkill, it should be more minimal and multiple layers of orange and browns, not just dark flesh. Use scorched base, dry brush dark flesh, dry brush orange then a thin and I mean think wash of develan mud after that. Then another thin drybrush layer of orange with another thin wash of orange or vermin brown.

i like them... nice rusty and bloody bunch... would love to see them getting shot to bitz by my own^^

I've been using this hi-tech, expensive rig here with decent results

Hmm nice I use something a lot like that, I put up pics later when I’m on my own PC.

Arakasi wrote:Second some closer shots. It looks like a riot of colour at the moment. How are you going to do their bases? I think that will help define them as well.

Thanks, man I'm going to try to get the bases done soon...well hopefully And I'll try to get some more close ups done later.

I'll try to get some done later, and there only wip's

I do washes of babbad black and delvean mud on the metal then a 1:1 mix of scorched brown to fiery orange, then blood. But yes I going to try to add some more definition. Btw did you notice the soot on the PK and chansword orky things.

I think they are fantastic, Haz. I love the rust, can't imagine an orc mob would be all into preventive maintenance. Also, the blood can never be too much, coated with it is not enough for orcs. Bloody mess, killing machines.








No match for CSM's, though. HAHA

I like them.....lots of variation!

I'm subbed HAZ, so I'm always here... just don't always comment if I think other folks have your back... which they usually do.

Right then, hi guys,

Update (Well sort of) By popular demand here are some decent clear close ups of my orks and what I got for x-mas warhammer wise .I've inculed a pic of ausslt marines because I feel that I have gone a bit xenos crazy so this should help balance the loyaity to the emporor .Oh btw the white is where I'll be adding goff checkers.
Note:PIC HEAVY

HAZZER

Just rembered this pic for dsteingass...

Nice haul, Hazzer.

Thx.

Try getting the lamp really close when you take the shots, shadows can be a bitch at times.

God tell me about it!

You're gonna love the brushes!

Hell yea!

Woo blog on homepage again!

In focus... much better. And never underestimate the power of a good brush.

Hey, Hazzer, those orks are coming along rather nicely. I just wanted to toss in my two cents about your rust effect. Earlier someone (sorry I don't remember who) mentioned that you should add some orange to the scorched brown to work up layers for your rust. I thought I would provide a visual reference for you. This is an old WIP pic of a nurgle marine I did using that same rust effect. You can see where the layers are built up from brown to a brown/orange mix to almost a pure blazing orange. With some chainmail dotted in for added detail.



Feel free to take as much or as little from my advice as you please. I just thought the visual ref may help you out. It's not a hard technique to achieve you just need a small brush and a little patience.

Keep on going! Your minis (and pics) are looking better and better.

That does, in fact, look very good Moltar. I actually know nothing about painting but I think that your rust is better suited for the Orks, Hazzer. More of a "scrap metal found in junk pile" look versus the "10,000 year old been in use just not taken care of look".

Just from my experience working (for 22 years now) around tanks and large metal objects that see a lot of outdoor use, is that a certain amount of corrosion will occur that is dealt with, removed and prevented and a certain amount that is accepted and just cleaned off every now and then.

A fine patina of age, such as is expertly done on Moltar's Nurgle Marine, may not be found on Ork armour. A) Orks would make their armour out of anything and B) paint would be rare, if at all. Mass produced equipment, even 10,000 years old, would still have a machined and treated appearance that would change not only the type but severity of corrosion that would be found on it.

Your stuff is gold, Haz, keep it up. Please find a way to get bright clearer shots up close, though. They are getting better but I really want to get there and see the finer details. And you should go get some mini's that you don't care about so you can do a paint tut.

Ok thanks, helps a lot I was also thinking of adding a turquoise like colour for weathering and painting lime scale? I was thinking of using hawk turquoise oh and that pics great. For orks I use mitral silver for highlights and chainmail for SMs.I may need to to a tutorial when I have mastered the rust effect! (Oh im going to need spare time too).

Hoping to perhps do one on rust effects when I master it!And maybe one on NMM when I can do it with help of course from my eavy metal masterclass book!Just noticed I've got 14 posts to got till 1000 posts may do a toutoral or two then to celebrate it!

See, now that the pics are clearer I can give some advice! Try putting a dot of black at the end of the barrel of the guns - or even better - start learning how to drill them out (maybe with an unpainted gun first...) It's never too early to start learning to drill those barrels!

LOL!I currently don't own a drill but I am thinking of getting one!

You should purchase a pin vice right away! Essential tool!

checkers on orks always looks classy!

Much better pics, I would say though take a couple of each selection you are wanting to post so if the first one is out of focus you might get another that is in focus to use instead. Definitely get a pin vice, I have about eight, they are really useful primarily for drilling barrels but also for adding rivets and pinning models. I also sometimes drill into a model and paint it on the pin vice. Like this;



Keep up the good work Hazzer!

Should do!I think a family member has one hidden away somewhere!

Thanks, Im thinkig of doing a mix of free hand on some shoulders and gun bits/ wepons and some use of transefers...
