I have been reading quite a lot of WIP-Blogs over the last few weeks and I have decided to finally start my own.

I like modelling more than painting. Thats because I like to tell stories with the models, and a story is easier to tell with the pose and my conversions. Sure, painting is important and helps a lot, but I am a very lazy painter. It takes days until I am happy with the look of a troop-model

Lets show some models:

This is Rogbotz, my tankbusta-nob. I think he looks cool, but gamewise hes crap.



Look at the twin shoota
As you can see, the metal mask on his face has killed his facial skin, so it has turned grey



These guys are three of my Lootas. They show the career of the average loota, from collecting the suff to destroying it in rage (apparently it didnt work )



Many more Orks will follow, but right now im a bit tired (its getting late here in germany) so I'll just show you the IG-pirates I started 2 days ago

These dudes are the first of my pirates. Note the custom melta on the right and the "sawed of Lasguns", wich will count as shotgus in the game



AAAND the Commandy Commpander (), Captain *fill in name* the awsome:

His luck ammo clip!

He looks good. I like the color scheme, and the dirtyness of his gear. I feel you on painting, btw.

UPDATE TIME!! (yes i know, this thread has only been online for a few minutes, whatever )

I couldnt wait to show you my lootas:

DOUBLE PISTOLS FOR THE WIN!!


An Ork and his hovering Deffgun (they count a two lootas in the game)


The bw exhaust-deffgun!


You can even loot a pink horror of tzeench

And this is why I love Orks. Each and every one makes me smile, sheer insanity but it works. The hovering deffgun is my personal favourite and I'm sure your opponents will enjoy spending as much time looking at your troops as they will playing against them.

Sweet paint jobs too, the limited palette works great and the small touches of colour in the eyes and the gorey klaw draw your eye nicely.

Bravo.

Thank you very much for liking my Orks

MOAR:

A killa Kan with a walking pose:


Two Kommandoz; the rigt one isnt wearing camo because he is the "distracion boy"


I hope you can see the details, I know black undercoat doesnt look too nice. But theyre up next on the paintin' shelf!


He has a story of his own: As you might want to know, I approach modelling a new dude very openly. I planned to build a mek that day, but as i picked up the chainsword i figured it would work great as trakk-units. I looked around until i found a spare boys-body, and from then on the bitz jut flew together. Done. I think he looks cool.


And here hi back:


And some more nobs. The thing on the left guys back is a Waagh banner. The right guys pose is intended to say something like "Wutz you doin' on da ground, Gruff? You dyin' or wat? Let me help you wif dat!"


Thats it for today

Really loving your orks they all have so much character.

Looking forward to seeing the looted pink horror painted up, its such an excellent idea

Thanks for the post. You know, having people tell me they want to see my models painted really inspires me to do so. I primed him just before I started rthis thread , so he's on the painting shelf after the 3 Kommandoz

Very very well built and the paint jobs look great!!!!

I love th Orkyness of all your bits and poses and such, very well done!

He looks great! I don't think I quite agree on labelling yourself a 'lazy' painter.. Unless you mean in terms of really procrastinating it, the painting itself is great. I define a lazy painter as somebody that doesn't put the effort into painting their models anything above absolutely minimum standard, in which case, you certainly do not fall into that catergory

These are great! I LOVE the one that's cracked the sooks and destroying his gear, haha

Thank you very much for the reply! With labeling mysef lazy I meant to say that I dont paint much; It literally takes me weeks to finish a project. BUT, I decided to paint more to keep this blog runnning

what! I JUST noticed the three rokkits on that gun. I must be losing it.

That lootaz are awesome, and that mek looks super cool! All of the detail and character in each one is fantastic.

I thought I'd share James Bond:

Double Pistol again!


Even Orks have stormbolters! DAKKA!!

All your painted Orks look great so far. Keep up the good work.

All of these look awesome, man! Cant wait to see how this project turns out, modeling- AND painting-wise.

subscribed, by the way

Thank for the post! BTW, my painting shelf got a little messed up; while I was waiting for a wash on a kommando to dry, I figured I could try some new technices on my guardsman. I ended up painting the Human intead of the Ork. Ill try to post him tomorrow or the day after, and next on the shelf is the Pink horror Loota, becaue someone wanted to see him painted

That use of the chainsaws is inspired I'm going to have to try it yself at some point the painting is characterful and the conversions dynamic. I'd suggest you look at Monkeytroll's work for some great inspiration!

Sorry, no Orks right now. As I already told you, I accidentally painted this dude (didnt inted to do so, but i felt like it ):




What do you think? Is it a good sheme?

edit: and i'll post some propa pics later

Is that finished? If so, I think the skin tone is too similar to the fatigues..

..I assume it's not done though, and you just want feedback on the armor's colour scheme?

oo im loving the conversions you have done so far, you can count me as subscribed

This was the first human face I painted, so I guess its not finished and could be improved. Maybe you know how to make good looking black skin?

And btw, how is the armors color sheme?

Hey guys,

I just found out that this guy hasn't yet been posted here

The sm trophy on his shoulder is an apothecary, because all sm-players i know warned me not to paint the helmet in the color of their army

GOSTBUSTERS!

Your Orks have had me in fits of laughter be intresting to see how well the Deffgun will work after hes jumped on it a few times

Thanks for the replys guys! As all the other P&M-Bloggers here propably know, getting feedback is GREAT!

Love your two gun orks!

Excellent lootas. I converted some too but they look real boring compared to yours. So much more character than the kit.

I dont usually follow Ork threads but these conversions are really good and characterful. The painting is top notch as well and really does the models justice, I especially like all the kill decals you are adding to your guns and rockets. The colours scheme is not to bright and rust covered as alot of Ork armies tend to be. Look forward to seeing more!

Updates!

Here are a bunch of burnas I speedpainted some time ago, messing with my brothers Eldar



And that Kommando I was painting is also done: (its the left one)


And have a look at their backpacks

Cool stuffs, subscribed

sorry for the little updated guys, but its rather busy around here....
but im working on a scratch-trukk and im painting those lootas now. see ya.
