Hi, just some ork nobz. I was hoping for a tabletop standard.







Feedback welcome!

Nice and rusty. Hope the enemy has it's tetanus shots.

Really nice. That rust looks great.
Now go do something with the base!

Thanks, any Ideas about what to do with the Bases?

Sand?

Nice piantjob.

Very nice painting, and the rust effects are very well done. The only thing I found a little strange was it's only the armour that's rusted, but the weapons are pristine - the 2nd one especially. It could just be me nitpicking, as otherwise they're spot on. But as others said, gets the bases to the same standard for them to really pop...

Too much rust. You need a contrast, not everything will be rusty, where would water pool? For example the armour plates were probably found on a scrap yard so rust them up good, the Helmets are beaten into that shape, they're not going to use rusted metal for that. The weapons shouldn't be rusty but If your going for a Rust theme you should have the Panelling rusty. Their bits of Scrap bolted on after all.

Some more highlighting on the Arms, very flat at the moment well the first one at least, the Axe on the second one has a wire that's been painting metallic. I would correct that.

Basing, I would suggest some trophies, so skulls bodies anything akin to that. Depends on what your going for. I personally would suggest muddy conditions.

loving the rust affect

Hey same way I rust mine, very nice

Thanks, I think i'll drybrush a bit more metal and give the skin another wash.

good rust effect it looks really nice!

Surprised no one said this....drill the barrels! Other than that theyre beautiful.

Nice catch.

Drill those barrels and do something with the bases and you'll be all set. Those paint jobs are ace; you have an awesome rust effect.

Very nice rust effects, as has been pointed out tone it down a notch.
I would also suggest that you look into some of the other colours that you sorta negleted in favour of rust.

Great looking rust! I think this look fits orks better than most of the bright colored themes out there.

Very nice in general! Yep bases need something but still! I like the rust - very very nice although I think in some places just a wee bit too much! Nice jobs there though!

Those look great!

Update!!! Ok now I did some things listed above (other than the base)

I think he looks better.

Looking really, really nice! I don't have the balls to attempt Orks or anything Orky ala rust!

My only criticism would be to add in a little more contrast to the models. They seem very... rusty and not much else. First picture, for example, the ammo for his shoota could do with contrast rather than all silver.

Oh, and the bases! A nice Calthan brown base, topped with sand, then repainted again with Calthan, drybrushed with bone mix would make these look fething epic!

Nice rust!

how did you get the rust effect? I love it! I can't find a good rust tutorial

Nice. I love the rusty effect.

This can be used over any colour(mine was red), I went a bit over board on mine.
First I started with stippling Gw Red Gore ( I prefer to use Vallejo Model Colour Calvary brown, its less shiny and covers better ),
Then I Gave the Rusted area a wash of Thraka Green (Badab Black would work)
And finally I lightly stippled on Gw Blazing Orange. If it was on a larger armor plate I would drybrush some Gw Boltgun metal.

I find it simple and efective, no powders needed Hope this Helps!
