Hey everyone,
I'm not very good at actually managing to do Modeling and painting (especially the painting, i just don't do it, when i manage to i can paint to a ok standard....)
So i would like some tips on painting and modeling orks please

1. Nob Bikers.....Just use Nob bodies? I made my first 3 bikes, and then got a Nob from the Nob boxset, and it fits on the bike perfectly....but the arm that holds the handle, doesn't reach when you use those Nobs, so i could either have none of them holding the handles, or? (I thought about cutting the arm, and repositioning it, is that hard?)

2.Painboy.....How do i make him look different enough from just the Bikers and Nob set, i was going to buy a pain boy model, but its metal, and probably would require too much conversion work......
(I'm going to use AOBR Warboss, with a bit of filing etc, he will go on the bike nicely....)

3. Are their any simple guides for painting Orks? From the Boyz (i have one way to paint them, from a friend, that i will probably follow, but if their is an easier/quicker way, i would quite like to do that, as i'm probably taking these to tournament in Jan...) to Bikes to the Battlewagons


And now a Blood Angels question (although this doesn't necessarily need answering, can probably find something somewhere, but haven't looked yet...)
Whats the best way to paint their armor? I have 1500-2000 points of Marines, and the only specific marine model i have is Shrike, and they aren't painted (much....), and since i have a few tanks (2 LR, razorback, 2 Rhinos, Pred and a Dread) Blood Angels might be the better way to go.....

Thanks

Google will probably be your friend with a lot of this. I can bump my own thread a little though:

Might give you some painting ideas and I have a few resources in there that might help.

Ahh yeah, i think i had a quick look at that thread, will have a closer look now

( i have used google, search modeling Ork Nob bikers, and you get very little in return, best i got was a discussion on tauonline, which half of them suggested just paint the boyz on bikes darker (and give Nob Weapons) to make them look like Nobz.... )
