Heres a few pics of my 1st by the book ork knob progress!

Looking great so far!

Looks good, but a black wash will really pull the detail out. Clearly not finished, as his choppa is still black, but looking good so far.

You realise that's a boyz head, right?

Ok Really? Fairenuff, must of been a mistake on the sprew as they was next to each other, this is from the black reach box set.
Plus this was my first buy so i hope that wont happen again as i intend to buy the proper packs now as they have better options in them.

This him finished for now...

Lookin' great VicStaUk, and really diggin' the yellow teef!

Nice work, what do you use to get that skin colour?

Give the metal areas a Devlan Mud Wash, followed by a Badab Black Wash. It'll look much better.

Ah, apologies. I was looking at the image at the top of the page, pre-wash.

To be constructive, then; it looks good, but I think it's a little... plain. What about doing some of the armour plates in a colour? Red, for example. Just use it on one or two panels; the one on the shoulder with the spike, and the one bolted onto the... crotch (teeheehee), for example.

@ popsicle...no worries dude, and i think ure right anyway, i dont think i used badab black i think it was Gryphonne sepia wash, i like that more on metal, as long as you dont let it pool in too much it gives a much better effect on metal in my opinion.

And yes i know what you mean about the plates, I'm working on a Evil Sunz at the moment trying to find a clan that i'm happy at painting, i've tried a few blood axes and well i'm still not happy with thos lol!

Yeah, the Nobz heads are slightly larger, and there's only four or five of them. Nice job

Looks Great dude, I love it!!

a bit of highlighting on the skull and face and job done!!

I made the exact same mistake with my AOBR box, but twice: I did a boy with a nob head, and vice versa, and also confused a nob head with the warboss one. Eh.

Good job dude. I'd highlight the metal with some mithril silver, and add a dot of white too each eye but it's a great first run .
