wow, really nice plasticard work there O.O might have to have a go with plasticard myself now XD

Thanks I really enjoy working with it.

Some update to the horde. The Bad Moon shootaboyz are coming along. Still need a layer of Tausept Ochre to get the yellows as deep as I like. Next picking out some details, highlighting and giving the bases another go.



I've tried to use Tausept Ochre for the hardware and Iyanden Darkson for cloth and leather. Different materials should not look the same. But I'm not entirely sure it was worth it. What do yo think?

edit: the image didn't come out that great... it may not be possible to see what I'm on about.

Nice freehand job on the flames!

really nice yellow! It must take ages to do, but it sure is worth the effort!

i think the yellow is good but it just needs a wash of something to make it look less clean.. they are orks after all. apart from that all good

Looks like you're off to a good start on the yellow!

Nice start! Yellow is looking good it perhaps looks a little too clean at the minute. Washes and weathering are your friends. Haha.

not mandatory, but i'd also put a wash on it (my orks are always dirty). In my case that'd be devlan mud.

But then again, clean orks would look nice as well for a change.....

Thanks for the nice comments

The plan is to make them a bit dirty - but not too much. The cloths and leather will get a tiny bit of devlan mud and for the guns I'm planning some scratches and find something to use as rust. I think I used snakebite leather for the Killakan and will see if it fits to this.

Its possible I do some more dirt on the boots. But its also ok to walk upright - my orks charge into battle - they don't crawl

^lol

great looking orks in general

Loving the orks! How did you paint such clean yellow?

Thank you and welcome to Matt and Killytoof.

The yellow isn't that hard to do. It just takes time. Thin paint and many layers. I will confess it is probably why progress is slow... I got a bit sick of it.

Will try to get them finished soon and post new pics in a couple of days.

So here we go. A long overdue update. The reason beeing that my work (irl) is going well, so I guess that is good news

This is just a teaser. Later tonight or tomorrow I'll have more pictures of the individual boys. Let me know what you think so far.

great looking mob! very orky indeed, and the yellow looks very good!

Thank you MrMerlin Waaagh!

Here are some detail pics of the mob.Fairly happy with how they turned out. As said earlier there is 2 kinds of yellow. One for the metals and another for cloth/leather. On the table it looks alright, but not sure if it comes through in a picture.

First up is the Nob.


Here are da 'eavies (one of them will go with some sluggaboys later on).


Up close and personal with the shootaboys.


And this is what they look like after they ran over you and are heading for the next fight.


C&C is very welcome. If you like you can also head over to my gallery page and comment/rate them there.

What am I going to paint next? There is not much to do on the Nobs and the Gretchin, so most likely I'll finish those first. Or is there something else you'd like to see?

The red compliments the yellow on these models really well, also got to admire the strips on the rokit guy. very cool and very skilled. I also withdraw my dirt comment from before as a group together they look quite good clean, and as bad moons im sure they would have the teeth to just pay someone else to clean there stuff. very good show

oh and gretchin and then Nobs. keep them till last because they will be funner and it will make the gretchin less of a chore.

Thank you Bigfish I did mud-up the boots and used some browns as rust/dirt on the guns. But something deep inside me whispers '...stop before you ruin the colors...!'. So there is not enough of it to show up on the pics.

Good clean job, really like the red/yellow combination!

Thanks Later I'll be painting some red vehicles (of course they'll be red!). They will have some yellow markings. Hopefully this will tie the army together and make it look alright on the table.

never EVER give me a choice of choosing new projects (or what to paint next), as bigfish has learnt
I've been known to.. persuade you to do something you never intended....

So......

GOFF ROKER FLASHGITS COZ' ORKZ ARE MADE A ROKKIN'

hahahaha

Great drawing! Yes; I will make a rokkin' ork!

Is the drawing yours?

Saddly, no
But still awesome

I really like the diferent skin tone; the one GW does is way too bright and shiny. Yours looks somehow more "realistic".

Keep it up!

Thank you

The Gretchin Green was pretty random as it was the only green I had when I started. But now its growing on me and I'll do the rest of the army using the same colors (gretchin base, thraka wash, gretchin highlights).

These pics was taken with direct light from 2 spots. So there is some reflections. Would like to invest in a lightbox some day...

Good looking minis, great painting

Thank you Cassius

Progress is slow on the paint. But gluing stuff together is something I can do whenever I have a few minutes to spare. Tonight I spent some time rivetting my deffrolla.

That deffrolla is looking promising

well i followed you through the rabbit hole^^

there coould always be more rivets squeezed on that deathrolla...but i think rivetwise it looks quite good...

will there be spikes then? and i have yet to look through the rest of your thread^^

good work...and i like the fact you went for the pin rivets...that is no easy task! how did you get that rolla and the PC around it so nice and bended to the shape?

The pin rivets was the 'easy way' I feel. A good drill and some time - job done ^^ No need to invent the wheel (or the deffrolla...) all over again It was simply a matter of protecting my eyes while cutting pins.

The pc bending thing is a nice little cheat that I wish I took pictures of. I used some pipe from my local hardware store. Plastic tube for shower drain or something like that. Then I cut random pieces of pc, stuck them on with glue, wrapped the entire thing in rubber-bands and left it overnight.

Some of the thicker pieces came off, simply glued it again. After I did the rivets nothing come off it yet

edit:

As for spikes I'm not sure. Could be I just paint it up in random orkish colors. So it looks like the big mek used whatever scraps he had lying around.
