Hey ya'll. New to Dakka here.

Have been trolling the forums for about a month now and really like the painting i see going on here. Some really great stuff happening, learned alot. This is my first army and I wanted to share my journey here with you.


I realize that there are ALOT of ork players and painter on this forum, but I wanted to post anyway and get some opinions, fairly new to modeling so my basing isn't the best.

Comments and criticism welcomed!

Here is some more progress. Two of my favorite models thus far I have painted.

I can't wait for more progress onn Snikrot he looks great already!

Well it certainly is evident they were painted by a girl... O.o

Very nice painting! You really have an eye for detail. Also, love boss snikrott.
So, keep it up.

WOW! if this is your first army you are destined for big things.


they are amazing, simply amazing.

Looks great. Just one little nitpick, Drill out the barrels. I'm guilty of taking pics before I drill because I get so excited a mini is done. Snikrot is ace and good pics.

I like the red on snikrot , what colors do you use? for it to shine like that

Thanks for the comments all. I finished snikrot, he looks real good, may be a couple days before i can get a picture up of him.

As per the comment from Watsabi I just haven't purchased a hand drill yet, though they are just 4 dollars from Michaels, would be a worthy investment. IM just not looking forward to the carpel tunel I will surely get from drilling out over a hundred barrells haha.

Also LunaHound I don't use citidel paints, I figure that GW gets more than enough money from me with the minitures and all.

I use craft store paints. The brand is called Folkart, i use the artist pigment, it has a higher pigment count like the citadel paints due but its about the 3rd of the cost and works the same.

So I finished up snikrot. I am very pleased with the result. Let me know what you think.

You will also find attached my Zzap gun that I have made, and my WIP scratchbuilt trukks im making, I have 3 in progress.

Comments and criticism welcomed and encouraged

TONKAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! digging the trukk, keep it up!

You Owe me for the bits on your zzap guns and also getting you to add them to your army list. any ways see youat work tomorrow.

I don't owe you jack. I'm painting your command squad for you. Which im about to start on wednesday once im done painting this squad of boys. I'm probably gonna post em up on this forum too. Never painted space marines before so im pretty stoked about it.

I like the sinkrot, nice gem effects on the mask. The only thing that bothers me is it looks like the blades on his choppas are rusty, like they havent been sharpened. The edges of those things oughta gleam malevolently in the moonlight.

The pictures are dark, the blades are actually quite orange and not rusty at all, they gleam quite nicely =)

Snikrot looks great- actually everything is awesome!

What did you use to coat/ protect Snikrot? It looks like he has a shine to him. I use 'Ard Coat from GW to protect my models, but I only paint it onto spaces that I want to shine; sweaty body parts and shiny vehicle pieces. Then I spray dull protective coating on from a spray can.

Can we see an entire army photo? Your HQ units look great so far!

I use the Army Painter strong tone on my models, then i spray them with rustoleum matt coat to take away the shine.

Thanks for the comments though.

I will try to get an entire army shot up.

Really digging the scheme, like the brown and reds and the checkered helmets

ohh and good use of tonka, just jack up the wheels with some spikes or something, they dont look orky enough in my opinion.

ohh and snikrot is simply amazing

I'm getting the painting station all built up to night. So and ive buying up some of my own paints so we dont have to share. The the Tone so don't use it all.


I wondering if i got a jar where we can split it up Cuz i'm planning on going 100% next week on the painting.

I also have your army list, i'll bring them to work. later

Dude, are you at all familiar with the english language? Maybe you need to change the flag next to your name.

Nope

Snikrot looks amazing and looking forward to what your gonna do with those tonkas!

I look forward to your battle wagon with that color scheme.

Keep painting, pecker head

Also a commission painting for a friend of his crimson fist librarian WIP

Yeah so now that the lib's done, he's been kicking ass First he suck up Kor'sarro khan soul and then helped kill Eldrad. Also why did you want so many rocks on that board, it was like fighting in the Grand Canyon. I managed to pull off a draw after you left Yesterday.

I finished the trukk, will have pictures up shortly.

I have also been commissioned to paint one of the trophies for the GT coming to Rochester, NY in october. I think i'm gonna just turn this into a general painting blog as I will be having commissions other than just orks.

OK so here is what my finished trukks will look like, Sorry for keeping you all waiting.

Also this is the trophy for the GT i will be painting, Its Tech Priest Tezla, I have no idea how he is assembled so im just gonna do it my way.

Enjoy, would love the comments and criticism!

Here is some WIP shots of the GT Trohpy. Enjoy, would love the C&C. Photos may be a bit dark.

Does anyone even really pay attention here or should i not bother to continue
