looking very good bigfish very good indeed

Anvildude wrote:Actually, I really like the reflectivy-ness. Makes it look fresh, still wet.

Maybe try just a thin layer on the main body of the roller, but have caked chunks of muck on the edges? So the surface that does the crushin' is still fairly clean-ish, but on either side, just in from the edge, is a ring of gunk that doesn't get scraped off by the ground and bodies.

this was very similar to what i was thinking originally and now i am just leaning towards having the deffrolla slightly raised? but then the weight distribution will be messssed up. so hmph?

i think i will try and do the mud on the sides thing but i am not sure how it will turn out? worst case senario i sand it off and do it again

thats one sweet looking battle wagion!BTW my plog is finally upadated!

Maybe some streaks of red/dark reddish brown and/or red wash on the rolla and treads, as though they were running over stuff? Or just little bits of different shades, maybe a chip or a spot of blue- right now it's a little too evenly muddy- which could be exactly what you want, depending on what you envision it running over (muddy, grassy field, for instance, as opposed to rocks and mud puddles or beakies)

But yeah, looks awesome.

Orky

It's looking good, bigfish. I would deface that aquila on the top though. Scratch it up, file off one of the eagle heads, etc. I think, that despite being a looted imperial vehicle, that eagle needs to be orkified.

i was kinda thinking muddy grassy fields tbh because thats how the rest of my stuff is based, but i do think it is a bit even so i guess i could add another drybrush of a darker brown and then maybe patches of subtle redy browns?
i will think about it though

i might take some chunks out the the edges and generally ruff it up a bit then with my scalpel, just to make it a bit more uneven and orkyfide.



All of this has been very helpful guys thanks

Look into weathering dust. It helps alot with ork.

Nice to see a non-spiky deffrolla. It looks really nice.

That is a product of orkness. Completely Morktacular. Gorksome.Very WAAAAAGH!!!tastic.
...
Seriously awesome finish after following its build, really well done. Would love to see that in play.

some serious complements there , thanks Runna means a lot


Ok so with the battle wagon i have done the ruffing up of the top imperial eagle but i was'nt really feeling the blood effect on the tracks and rolla so i think i am going to leave that for now.
next thing to do now will be to finish the lootas unit and the truck and 12 boys units so i have a legal army.

Love that wagon! Your Dreads are sweet also. Very nice. I see improvments in your skills also.

thanks a lot on both comments but especially the improvments in skills one. means a lot.

Anyways i put some colour down on my warboss.



just started really but i am liking him so far, i am going to try adding some red on the arms as well around the bits where the wires meet the rest the the arm on the power claw side.
but anyways thanks for stoping by

Try using either a different mettalic or a bit of weathering (light drybrush or wash of red or brown or black or whatever) on some of the smaller plates of the metal bits, like the jaw of the belt, or the bolted on plates on the Klaw, shoulder pads and guns- it's an easy way to give them a lot more depth, and make them look more detailed.

i just did it today this morning so i missed your post but i think i have kinda done what you described anyway



thinking the power claw arm needs a bit off a clean up on the metal blue paint. But considering i am very happy with this as is.

Yup, exactly.

Boss looks good bigfish, and nice looted wagon by the way, don't think I commented on that.

Thanks monkeytroll

Did some basing and stuff today and took some new pics.



Clasic truck boyz and truck

i cant decide if i want to repaint my deffkopters next or if i should do the 20 strong clasic shoota boys squad? choices choices.
anyway thanks for reading

bigfish, could you at least tell us what you've done on your RuzzBot?

NOPE, that will spoil it for when it is done. but i will tell you this, it will have 3 super kannons

Cool stuff, they're Death Skulls, right? That's what I'll be painting mine if my boyz ever arrive from eBay.

Very nice Bigfish. Your army is coming along great. I checked out you army profile also. Good stiff. Gonna have to make one once I get more done on my Brazen Klawz

MrH wrote:Cool stuff, they're Death Skulls, right? That's what I'll be painting mine if my boyz ever arrive from eBay.

Awesome, more boyz for the deathskulls camp. if you are doing death skulls you might want to save some of the bits from your spacemarines and put them on your boyz when you get them. just to make them even more deathskully

schank23 wrote:Very nice Bigfish. Your army is coming along great. I checked out you army profile also. Good stiff. Gonna have to make one once I get more done on my Brazen Klawz

thanks mate, Btw we still need to do this trady thing at some point ya know if you still wanna (maybe once you get lots more brazen klaws done )


Oks so i have decided to redo my deffkopters (for the 4th time(and the last time))
so far i have based them and base coated them, pictures below. The other one is just to show how bad they were befor really, anyway any surgestions with the deffkopters would be great



anyway thanks for looking

Yea I still want to do a trade. I just got Frawgs done and working on prime12357. You where wanting a Mad Doc if i remember right?

yep that was right, i was doing you a big mek

HEADS UP: painting the deffkopters tomorrow and maybe somemore lootas.

did some work on the deffkopters but i really need some advice on them. i am not quite sold on the paint yet and dont know what i could do to make it look better, does anyone have any surgestions?



(image above)
This one i quite like but its is the other two i am not so sure on.





as said above, any constructive critism would be great

thanks for looking

What are you unhappy about? It may give us some idea of what to suggest...

It looks to me that more coats of thinned paint to block out the colours better is in order - but I'd hate to suggest that if that was the effect you were after!

I feel like the first and third one could use some checkers on the wings. However, I'm confused, because I don't know what that slice of pepperoni is doing on the front of the third one.

I agree with Arakasi, knowing what you're unhappy with would help us make suggestions for you.
