You've done an amazing work here Sentinel.

Your paintjob is clean and your plasticard skills are really good!
Now I want to steal your fighta

Rivets everywhere! I really love your work with plasticard, I soon will be doing Grot tanks, so I am keeping this on file.

@fox: the trick, water down the yellow. More than you would normally.

@Hyena: thanks! I can't wait to get paint on the fighta. Any ideas for patterns/where they should go?

@Nathan: let me know when you start, as grot tanks will likely be my next project too. I'm always interested in other people's take on things!

Very nice work on the fighta, I especially like the use of the boyz ammo belt and the wires.

Will Do!

Hey, sweet looking fighta you got there

Dude.... Really nice job. Love the rivets! I also really like your nob. Is the flame freehanded? If so, great job

Sorry I did not post sooner, been at work.

Ooh, nice Dwarf.

Sentinel wrote:the skin for this guy was actually a little more complicated than what I normally do. I basecoated in gretchin green, highlighted with camo green, then washed it twice with watered down devlan mud, then finally highlighted it again with streaks of camo green. I might hit the really raised areas with an even lighter color.

Interesting. It came out really nice. I think I'll have to try it, at least for the models that are more of a centerpiece for the army

Awesome scratchbuild. Love Orks and just parted with my Bad Moon army after several years....some times you just need the money! What colour scheme are you going for?

Hehe, shoot, it's already been a month in this blog without any updates. Sorry folks. Hopefully I'll have some more done soon for y'all.

@Kaine Larson: My army started as Bad Moonz as well. However, I like painting other schemes and I like the fluffy idea of a Waaagh! drawing from all the clans. Thus, the majority of my painted units are Badmoonz, (cause that's what the boss is) and then the special units are painted clan-specific (i.e. lootas as Deffskullz, trukk boyz as Evil Sunz, Kommandos and Blood Axes, etc.)

Back from the dead! I'll try to resurrect this blog with some juicy new pics....

So, without further ado, here are three kommandos that I am entering in Unlucky Guardsman's P&M competition!

And some individual shots.....

Oh, and a bad moonz nob for good measure

very cool stuff going on here, loving the 3 komandos and the bad moon is pretty cool too

Really like the orks, you definetly have my vote!

Love the bad moon ork

I'm really loving the Ork kommandos. Your Orks are awesome!

Thanks guys! Unfortunately, due to lighting/camera issues, I couldn't get good official competition pics... I could enter these but the rules say white background, but UG has been pretty flexible with the rules so we'll see whether I enter these or not...

Absolutely seconding this, they look fantastic and they're really eyecatching as well.

Yes the German Fleck in awsome, and the custom hats are to cool.

Love those kommandos. And the camo came out awesome! Are those IG backpacks on them?

Quite correct. From the Heavy wpns. sprue.

*blows dust off of thread*

Whew, finally, an update. 'Ere we go.

Unfortunately it's been too cold (oh look, it's December. How 'bout that.) to do any undercoating. Thus the fighta's paintob will have to be postponed until I take a trip to Florida in January.

But, I caught the inspiration bug again. *cue triumphal encore* A grot tank!!! It has a kannon, so I can run it as a big gun or as a rokkit grot tank.

The first of at least three. I had a wartrakk body laying around, so for the first one, I just used that.

The turret swivels and is removable.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Btw, these pics are WIP. I still need to rivit the whole thing.

What's the main body made out of?

It's the back of a wartrakk.

WOW, those are some exeptionally beautiful orks, I really like your conversions!

Thanks Merlin!!

very well done... but instead of rivits, why dont you try welds?
just something to consider. looking Good though

Well, I really like rivits. How would I go about doing some welds?

Fantastic kommados and looove the grot tank.
