Love your rats, Bunnygurl! You've got some serious skills there and those bases are awesome with the skulls and bones and little details. Those little details are what take a model to the next level IMO.

Are you just painting for fun or amassing some armies? I'll keep checking out your thread either way!

**bunnygurl**

Namn - Keep workin' on names dude. Something's better than nothing. I have faith a golden nugget's gonna pop outta your ass someday.

Cave_Dweller - I'm thrilled you love my rats. Me too. The Skaven are the first models where I started doing more base detail after some very helpful advice on here. I mainly paint for fun picking out models that I like the look of and want to paint which consequently ends up in amassing a few armies. My largest are Lizardmen, Skaven, Orks, Dark Elves, High Elves, Chaos Space Marines and Tyranids. I have little chunks from almost every other army.

And without further delay!! The Stormboy.

Thanks for looking and endless thanks for your patience.

**sum1thtdiesalot**

Looks very good. I havent ever seen an ork with those colors. I like it. Since they are red and green could you call them the jingle-WAAAAGH? Thats the best I got

**logg_frogg**

Nice start! Very Orky indeed!

**thehod**

Very nice work on the berserkers. I also like how you got the muscle definition down on the stormboyz.

**Commander Cain**

Nice work as always! The center part of the rotor blades could do with being a different colour as it looks a little flat. Apart from that he looks great, the colours are very crisp and vibrant. Looking forward to more!

**medabee**

Looks amazing, great use of wash on the arms. Impressive.

**schank23**

Love the way you painted the jump pack. The bit of red really makes it stand out.

**bunnygurl**

Whoa...I wasn't expecting this many comments so fast.

sum1 - The Jingle-WAAAGH!! I love that!

logg_frogg - Thank you, thank you!

thehod - Thank you. I'm a fan of both as well.

cain - you mean the bulbous bit right in the centre? Do you think I should do it red like the other red bits? If not, thoughts? I always very much value your input. And thank you.

medabee - Thank you. Thank God for washes, no?

schank - Thanks. This is one of my favorite Orks I've ever painted.

**Inget namn**

OMG! HE LOOK AWZZUM!!!!

Gr8 work on him!

**taffiarti**

Loving the work bunny. I think the skin is done well and the colour scheme as a whole just works. I think its the fact it looks like it was all red ad it's just peeling over time - like they used some sort of cheap paint instead of what they should have! My favourite part are definetley the goggles though. My eyes get drawn to them every time I look a the photo.

I can't really tell from the photo, what is he standing on?

**bunnygurl**

Namn - Thank you again good sir. ^_^

taffiarti - Firstly, thank you muchly. I wouldn't imagine Orks to be the best painters in the world, eh? I love the goggles too. And so simple.
Sorry the pic's not the best. It's just a half tire and some rubble. I didn't paint it very well (I know, bad me, slap on the hand) but I was just so excited that I was actually going to finish one.

**taffiarti**

No bd words or hand slapping here. A tyre and rubble? Sounds like he just got out of his ride! Perfect for the Orks. But don't sell yourself short hun! A lot of the time the base adds a whole new level to the mini!

**medabee**

If it wasnt for washes my bolt guns wouldn't look as good as they do.

**PDH**

The new Orks are looking good. I'm especially fond of the chipped metal.

Peter

**Some_Call_Me_Tim?**

Nice job on the metal, bunnygurl! Really works well for Orks, though a light rust wash, followed by really bright silver chips, would look nice to!

Have you had a chance to play against the new WHF O&G's? If you haven't, watch out for mangler squigs. They are basically fanatics, except that they could take out a block of Clan rats, in one turn.

_Tim?

**tallmantim**

I like the stormboy - my son has just ordered a unit of them (plus the special character guy).

**bunnygurl**

Thank you all for the comments. I've nearly finished another Stormboy. They're turning out to be quite alot of fun.

Excuse me, but can I have my colour scheme back

!

Only kidding, though I have painting my stormboyz in an almost identical scheme (though my panels are much less weathered, and went for black+red on the shoulder pads instead of bare metal!

Liking the work in the thread so far!

**Perkustin**

Nice goggles bro! Same with the skin.

**bunnygurl**

Oh sorry Zero. I didn't know you had a similar scheme. Though to save myself, I've been painting my Orks like this for several years before I came on this site. At least I know you approve.

Glad you like my thread though.

Perkustin - Thanks ya muchly. Two of my favorite points. ^_^

**Inget namn**

ok just got to go off topic... FIRST TIME I'M ONLINE AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU BuNNY!!!! FTW xD

**40kFSU**

Very nice, as always. Guess Ill join the club and say the skin looks great. I also like how you picked out the bands and stitches on the pants.

**bunnygurl**

I just had a sudden curious thought...are the pants too dark? I looked carefully and noticed there's not much difference between the bands on the pants and the pants themselves. Thank you 40kFSU for your comment. It made me look at them more carefully. Even though you said you liked them (I do too), I think maybe too dark and could be better. Thoughts?

**Paranoia_Agent**

Great painting as usual "Bunnygurl"

Love the paint scheme on the stormboy keep up the good work !

**40kFSU**

I think they are fine. The straps bring out the detail. I dont see orks as fashion plates.

Fixed that for you

**Truffle**

That storm boy is very lean and crisp I like it.

Black so they is ded 'ard, red so they go fasta!

To be honest, when I painted my stormboyz I didn't even notice the straps until very late in the painting, so all they got was a quick coat of GW scorched brown. If you're worried about them being too dark, I added constrast to mine by painting all the cables with hazard stripes (using the old GW Bad Moon Yellow on top of Iyanden Darksun). Perhaps adding some random small spots of an ultra-bright colour to details around the body may brighten them up enough?

**bunnygurl**

Paranoia - Thank you.

Truffle - Glad you like it.

Zero - I use Blood Red on wires, Space Wolves Grey on fuzzy bits and Sunburst Yellow on any strips of clothe. I think it gives 'em a little more somethin' somethin'.

And I must say thank you all for your patience once again. Now that my son has learned to crawl and climbs stairs, there is no sitting to do anything let alone painting. And with not much help, I'm stuck in a corner. However I have found some time here and there so I have finished a second Stormboy, nearly finished a third (hoping to finish tonight before bed) and almost finished another 4 Clanrats. I plan to post pics of the two newly completed Stormboyz tomorrow. Give ya'll some more eye candy.

Thank you all for sticking around and commenting and I shall fight my way back here with pics for your enjoyment. Sweet dreams and don't let the Tyranids bite.
