Here is my first ork HQ
Big Mek with Kustom Force Field, Burna, and Attack Squig
Please comment or criticise as this took many hours to complete
thanks

I think you have really got the hang of the whole modelling and conversion thing (something I have yet to even start on).

However, I think your painting skills need improvement. The eyes of the mek are a bit messy and the skin colour really needs a highlight. Teeth on the squig also need some work (just put a fine line of a brown between the teeth to separate them)

i know the squig teeth need to be seperated
but it is orkhide shade, dark angels green, badab black wash, snot green highlight
i do not wish to have the bright skin you are used to

That picture is much better from the last couple. I agree on the eyes, but other then that, I really like how he looks man. Nice work on this one.

I like the eyes , but ..

I think they are supposed to be white with a black dot , call me crazy , but thats how i do ma orks !

Well if you want to go by fluff, Ork eyes are just red. So fluff wise your both wrong. I like the way his eyes are done, but just need the yellow run over to be cleaned up is all.

I like the Yellow eyes.

thanks im going to fix the squigs teeth and try to fix the eyes
hardest part you know

i like the yellow eyes
this is the first army i have painted pupils for

I love the gretchin carrying the burna fuel, nice work.

And i also think the yellow eyes are cool, just need a little touch up.

i did touch up the eyes, not sure if it looks better but its different than it was they are much smaller with almost no yellow

the teeth have benifited greatly from a devlin mud wash

Nice. I love the way the burna w/ grot looks.

It's a relatively clean, nice job. Definitely tabletop quality. I like the darker skin tones you've used, personally. There's nothing wrong with the eye color, but as others have said, it would be good to clean it up a little. The yellow has bled out a bit onto his eyelid area. If you clean that up, that will help a lot. Also, an easy way to get some more definition on the teeth of the squig, is to hit it with a brown wash of some sort. It will give you some nice shading, and dirty them up a bit. I'm pretty sure squigs don't brush their teeth very often!

Needs more shading and the base needs a good amount of work.

Good conversion but painting could be better.

Great job on the mini! I love the base!

Awesome Mek! I've been thinking about making one with a burna myself. How does he hold up in game?

Nice job well done I really like the Burna Fuel Grot.

Like everyone else, I love the conversion! but some better painting would REALLY help. In a month or two when ur more comfortable with a brush you can come back and touch it up but until then it will still make a great tabletop piece.

Oh, I like it. The Big Mek is an awesome model, worthy of the sort of embellishment that you've done. He can well be the centerpiece of your whole army.

You've got my attention. Looking forward to an encore!
