Hi to all!

Finally I finished my Warhammer 40K ogre conversion: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/231919.page

Some time ago I painted this ogre but he needed something special... a great base... and I've got it! A sewer!!

I've recicled some materials to use in this base, like old pens, a little cable or a piece of brass (to get a real pipes).

1st STEP

You can see (in these bad pictures), the base before painted it.



2nd STEP

I've no photos about the painting process. I'm sorry, but I show you what kind of paints I used to get it:

1.- I printed it with Black Chaos (Games Workshop),
2.- I used the airbrush fo the base with these kind of paints (alwys mixed with Tamiya Thinner X-20A, for acrylic paints):

- Hull Red XF-9 (Tamiya),
- Brown Chocolate (Vallejo),
- shadows: Burnt Umber ( Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 040),
- lights: Sand (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 075),

3.- Rusts:

- Middie Stone (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 031),
- Dirt (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73005),
- Basic Rust (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73001),
- Turquoise (Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 966),
- Smoke X-19 (Tamiya),
- Charadon Granite (Citadel Foundation) for washes,

5.- The water (made with DAS putty):

- Olive Green XF-58 (Tamiya),
- Turquoise(Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 966) and Warlord Purple (Vallejo, Game Color, ref. 14),
- Water Effect (Games Workshop),
- Still Water (Vallejo)
- Light Sand (Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 837) and Chaik White (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73006) for the waves,

6.- Details:

- Coke can: Fire Red (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 71084) + Chaik White (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73006)
- newspaper: Light Sand (Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 837) y Chaik White (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73006) + Black (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 71057) + Charadon Granite (Citadel Foundation),

7.- Final effects:

I used Sand, Light Sand and Mud pigments from Tamiya Weathering Master kit.

And that's it! I hope you like it!

Another awesome diorama from connann. Is that a head or a skull in the pipe?

it's a nurgling...

very cool piece, connan...

cheers
jah

nice work man! If the enemy cant kill him the bacteria will. lol i just looked at that model with all his implants still pink around the edges, sloshin around in the sewer. No wonder he has a nurgling looking on.

Woah, that's amazing! I could see a unit of these stomping (or swimming) around, maybe not on a diorama base but the concept is great!

Again a great scene. The rust and corrosion on the wall are amazing.

Nice infected looking skin on the ogryn next to the pipes.

Great work, however if it is a sewer, I would expect that the walls would be more slimy/ water corroded/ damp- possible some ink washes and varnishes would bring this out. Also, if the walls were darker, it would help light up the ogre skin/ contrast?

Great work though!

cheers

Thanx a lot for your C&C!!

McFly, thanx! The head it's a nurgling, as jah-joshua said (thnx to you too!),

Silverdaemon, thank you! Yes, the virus maybe will kill the ogre... or maybe the ogre will kill them, hahahaha!

Ziggy Da'Goon, thanx too. I'll do another ogre conversion, of course!

Metsuri, you're very polite, thanks a lot!

Warhound123, thank you for your comment and good avises. Your comment is very useful!

Regards...

Oh liquid resin! I have always wanted to use that in something, someday. Is it hard to work with?

And top work, as usual, by the way.

WOAH!

That's like "the coolist ohger I've eva seen!"

Always a pleasure to look upon your work Connann.

Nice work, great weathering techniques too! I wish you had a better camera so we could fully appreciate the work.

That is really cool.

I love the weathering and the verdigris, and I love how grimdark the whole piece is. It mixes that sort of gothic fantasy with the "thing in the sewers", then kicks it into the 41st Millenium.

Nice. (I'm saying that alot today.)

sA

Very well done,once more I am amazed at you skill level it looks real good.

Connann, do you have a bottle labeled NEW Extra Strength KICK-ASS FORMULA that you drink before you come on here or what? Your work is amazing, have you ever entered anything for Golden Daemon?

Truly splendid. Love the rust stippling.

Inspiring!
I really like the way the corroding metal looks. Thanks for sharing the "recipe".

very nice work man.
You kick much ass on the dioramas

looks kl realy kl

very nice. I'm especially impressed with your paintjob on the water, but it is all done very well.

Wonderfully disgusting.
