I inherited a crap load of orks - some were painted most were not. This guy was, so I made a base for him, after
taking the time to make the base I realized the paint job wasn't got to cut it anymore. So he got stripped and painted.
This is my first complete miniature ever. He's mad at the wall - so he broke it.

Custom Base



Base for play

I see no pics

Yeah First ork - first time posting... trying to fix

THERE we go

The metal is very nice, it looks pretty realistic, good job

Very nice, I like the red over metal (intentional?), looks good, checkers are even and the hazard lines on the PK are a nice touch.

The display base is really cool, nice work

Thanks guys- yes the red over the metal was intentional. A LOT of dry brushing on edges, Orks don't strike me as really the touch up paint job type, this dude is a warlord he's been around so it made sense that his armor would be torn up and rusty etc.

The things I am not happy with - the hazard lines could be cleaner, the symbols and teeth on the chest are really lost.

Now for the stormboys...

Iloke the metal also. But the bright blue hoses do pull the eyes away from the majority of the model. A toned down blue would draw more attention to the model and not the hoses.

Thanks pip - ill give it a wash

For ur first model this is really impressing.

Looks great, i agree with the hoses being to much, perhaps another darker color, maybe a brown or deep red. Also the rod on the bricks seem to pop out(i know the stones are white and pretty much anything will) maybe paint it white aswell or black(seen that alot)
the action it conveys is a great touch.

Orks get mad at things, and those things tend to break. Thats the way of it.


Very nice job on the mini. You should be proud!

Thanks all - I'll spend some time this weekend and repost
