oh, and try to AVOID the pin vice that has the inside handle storage for drill bits if you can, they might seem useful at first, but when you are drilling clockwise, your hand will loosen the storage cap, piss poor design IMO.

Thanks man helps.

Oh guys btw what do you think about the eyes on the orks too? I was trying to go for a glowing effect especially in the helmets and the crazy looking ones. (Like the one with both hands in the air and covered in blood!).

Bright blood red would be best for the eyes IMHO, I can barely make out the eyes as-is bro.

Orks looking good HAZ And looks like Father Christmas got something for you . Fasteddie got that book and it's a good read and you'll enjoy it. Keep it up!!

Thanks man but,
I was inspired by the front of Ryns World book by BL to do yellow eyes because the way that they have been painted looks excellent!Its also unique too!

Hey thanks grey for stopping by again long time no see!Oh and yes that book is excellent I wanta try out the smurf armour guide but with mordan bule instead of regal bule!

I remember reading in an Old White Dwarf about the Ork fluff, how they are fungal life forms, and technically, they would have green blood or chlorophyl or something like that, but the design studio liked the contrast of red blood on green skin better for aesthetic reasons, so that is how they came to have the red eyes. Then in other fluff I've read, some of the feral orks are even brown-skinned, so I guess anything goes really. Maybe a different colored wash around the eye sockets to make the yellow pop a little? I dunno. Personally, I like my Orks green.

Are you going for a glowing yellow effect with the eyes? If you are a thin black line (a bit like eye liner) around the orb will give them more definition and the yellow on the cheeks will give the glow effect.

easy man were the crimson fists??? LOL.
like the orks.
keep up good work. love your weathering brother.

I also get them form my FLGS and modle shops too! I got the fine detail brush form a modle show. (I would recmond going to some because youll never know what they will be selling)!

I'm just wandering if there is any critzem or tips ect that you or other's could give me about the mob of orks or the rust painting article? ...

Just keep tweaking your photography skills man! Work out the nuances of your digital macro setting. It's a learning process all on it's own.

The nice thing is that you can learn quickly, since you have to take so many WIP pics for a blog!

LOL! oh and thanks man!

This blog has a distinct lack of pictures. GET BACK TO WORK HAZZER!

I'd love to man but im getting busy agian puls I've update 3 days ago with the rust painting article!

A Dakka poster is only as good as his last day's post! lol

You kill me!

good stuff haz, liking how you are mixing up the bitz and all that milarki, although i think you should clean up your boyz eyes and i think some darker washes on some bits would go a long way. all in all very good stuff

Nice to see you back fish! So long so long! Nice to have you back though!

Very interesting article HAZ. Like the dirt on your rhino way back in the beginning of this blog. Very envious of your Christmas stuff and high-tech workspace! Orks seem a bit dark-skinned, but that will really help distinguish them on the tabletop. Keep it up!

Thanks Aeroroot for stopig by! Thanks man! I used this weathering stick from tamia which works really well! Oh yes the x-mas stuff I was (and still am) rather pleased with it! Bearing in mind that its limited edition that’s even better! (I don't own many limited edition bits only the WD sub guys from 2010 and 2011 I need to buy the 2012 one soon! The rouge trader guy's from a antique shop that I picked up for 2 for a £1! I And I guess the metal guys too.) I decide to do different types of skin tones because I feel it makes the mob feel 'a bit more unique'.

Just checked out Your blog and I see a good improvement from the beginning to the last pics, well done.

P.S. I like the kopta tail on the bike... might be stolen soon? ahahahahah

Hey HAZZER, thanks for taking your time to look at my blog, I really appriciate it

By the way, Your painting is very good! It has definetly improved since the first models posted! I like the orks to!

Subbed.
