Just thought I'd show off my Killa Kans Squad I recently completed. I tried some weathering techniques to make them look more realistic. I may have gone overboard with the rust but for Orks I think it really works. The arms were magnetized so I could swap them around and do some fun posing with them.

Hope you like.

Thanks.

Beautiful in all its orkiness. Good work.

Beautiful looking kans. It looks like my own weathering technique. I need to get some killa kans for my orks. Now.

VERY well done.

Very impressive!

I absolutely love them!! Would you be kind enough to share what weathering technique you used. I've got a trukk that needs finishing off, I've got oranges, browns, powders and a stippling brush but I haven't put brush to model yet. I've been too busy painting troops.

What did you use for the metal mesh on the base? It is really fine.

Thanks and very well done.

sweet ^^

if only my meks were that good. lol! awesome love the weathering and scrapes and bullet holes

Nice can line.....

Awesome work. Makes me wanna get started on my own Kan wall

I would like to start a slow clap cuz that is very nice!

Great work. Love the Orky look and especially the rust and dirt effects.

Excellently done!

Wow, glad you guys like the weathering, it was my first heavy attempt at it. To share my technique, I started with a heavy drybrushing of Boltgun Metal over everything, followed by a badab black wash. The rust effect I used came from MicroMark Rust and Dust kit. Its alcohol based and is a rust brown color. I applied that heavily. After that dried I made up a black oil wash and went over it again to try and simulate oil. The chipping was done with a blister pack sponge ( my new favorite technique btw). The mesh wire I got at Michael's Craft store, its Clay sculptors Mesh used to create an under-structure. I got it specifically for simulating fencing on my bases. The pipes are just a bendy straw cut up into pieces. I used some Vallejo pigments for the base as well as Tamiya Weathering Master powders.

They look really terrific. "Realistically" filthy and dirty. I also love the spiral on the missile, that must have been tough to do with such a thin line.

Nice work on these kans, keep it up!
