Hello everyone!

This is my first PM blog so I hope this goes well. I have Decided to strip all my orks and have them repainted, all of 150 orks. My painting skill has increased and I started to paint Marines (I will so some pics of them) so I wanted my main army to look as good as my marines. I was about 10 when I started playing orks, and I painted them like a five year old, so time for a change.

I will post pics tomorrow as soon as I can. But first some help, I have a tub filled with orks, and I thought I would fill it with Super Clean. Does the super clean work with about 40 models in one tub or will it work with a few models in the tub? I hope that made sense.

EDIT Yeah 500th post!

All right, this is it. Man I hope this turns out well.

Super Clean is the best when it comes to stripping minis, just make sure you wear gloves when your working with the stuff for a long time...

Watching with interest! I second the call for Gloves, but I say Dettol beats Super Clean.

Get us some Before and After Close-Ups, particularly of any Characters you've got, as well as some Pictures of your Marines!

Ok then, here are some of my new models C&C welcome (also some camera advice)










The last ork is an old one that needs a paint job, first pic is a template for all the other orks.

Better pic of the template ork.

Gloves on..... time to start!

Bath time, won't be seeing them till tomorrow

Should be fun, getting the Paint off 150+ Orks. Your Painting has definitely improved, we can see that from the Pictures. Looking forward to seeing the Stripped Result.

Here is some stuff I took pics of C&C welcome and needed. Also found a new wagon for my Warboss!

So I got a little jumpy so I got a tankbusta ork from the tub of super clean. Scrubed it good and this is the result.

Wow lots of views and no comments, well here is a pic some orks that I scrubed. Not even half way done, and some paint won't come off but its not that bad.

Well here is some progress, about 75% of the orks stripped so far. So tomorrow I will finsh the rest and proced to primer and paint!

Every thing is stripped and ready for a new paint job! Going to paint 10 orks a day so that should keep me occuped hopefuly, also painting the biker down in the pic below. So off to prime.

Looks good so far! Except I see a couple orks with paint on them

10 models a day is pretty extreme....Unless your doing them "factory style". I don't even think I can paint 10 backpacks in a day! (I'm pretty lazy. I lose interest pretty quick )

spotted some mold lines on your old models, make sure to remove them this time bfore you repaint the orks nice stuff you got. Like the colours on your marines.

Thanks, dark green basecoats are done, Iwill post pics ass soon as the skin is done.

Ah i love super clean it works so well on everything especialy if you really let them soak.
I did the same thing with my black templars that where salamanders with excellent results

Ok ork skin is almost done, just need to highlight and wash later. Now to clothes and stuff.

How the heck did you do those so fast???

I don't know..... does it look good?

Ok the ten boys are almost done, just some red and white to buy for little things here and there. I will post better pics tomorrow.

How long did you let the plastics soak for? I have some models that I'd like to strip but I'm afraid of melting the plastic!

Stripping 150 Orks? You, sir, must have the patience of a saint. The new paint's looking good though. Really like your technique on the skin. What's your secret?

@BobboDaGreen- a day or so, good thing about super clean is that it doesn't melt plastic!

@hungryp- Thanks, I use a dark green base then paint a pale green on top of the ork skin, leaving the dark coat in still showing, Highlight with a mix of bleach bone and kharloc green, then wash green done!

Looking good man, a rather ambitious project, but one that should turn out fantastic if you stick with it. I look forward to seeing your progress greatly!

Ok, I bought a couple stuff at the bazzar at the local GW, I will not paint 10 orks today but I will finsh off the ones I started and bulid some marines! Pics soon.

Ok sorry for the absence, my computer was broken so I got a new one. I have about 50 orks painted in a five day period so I will get pics tomorrow of the completed orks, well they are some what complete I have to highlight the blue and red marks and base them. Also I have some marine stuff I painted to show.

Here are some orks I have completed, and some marine stuff I painted along the way. 10 more orks today so I will post progress.

All the orks are at the almost done stage, just need to highlight the black, red, and blue clothing.

C&C welcome and needed.
