so here is the latest from my Ork Waaaagh! Im up to about 450 points so far, lol. Feedback welcome.











any tips on photography would be good. the colors are close but still a little high in contrast...
Thanks!

Too cool for school! That is wicked. Great colours, great character!

No, no, terrible. Send that model to me - I'll dispose of it for you.

Best I've seen in some time. I absolutely love this.
Great job!

Best Big Mek Boss I have ever seen! Great Job!

This is incredible. How'd you do the bronze?

That skintone is absolutely perfect.

That is an amazing job. Howd you get those cheques to look so impressive. Ive tried them a multitude of times (in black and red though) and cant seem to get them to work anywhere near as good as yours.

Did I finally find somebody else who wants to paint their whole force to this quality? No matter how long it takes? Awesome

lol, its taking soooo long. But im doing orks, chaos marines and space marines all the same way. hopefully i'll have 500pts per army by spring.

That is awsome, cant wait to see the rest of the army

WOW, just Wow

Very nice paintjob. Out of 450 pts, how many does this bloke take up?

Wow, 10/10. AMAZING PAINT JOB! Great choice of colours.

Very good job!

WOOOW, that is great! Love your paintjob!

But if I could give you some advice; maybe do more weathering. Chipped of paint makes it look so much more realistic and cool.

Stunning, the colors are so crisp and lively. A small work of art.

It's your rust effects that make it really great. Would you please share your method of adding the rust in all the crevasses.

Thanks

pretty simple. just some weathering powders. cheap and easy.

And here's how to make your own weathering powders.

Sorry, just thought I'd take the opportunity to make a plug.

Anyway, the model is lovely. its a perfect contrast between clean and crisp colours and a dirty ork. You've managed to make an awesome and convincing looking ork without making him a red ork.

Pastels have binders in it that act as glue, making it behave poorly compared to actual pure pigments such as Mig Pigments. IS $5 for something that will last you hundreds of models really that expensive that you would take the time to make your own?

I'm speechless.

Awsome!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!

You really have a fantastic way of painting, really prefer the base on this model to some of your other models.

amazing work.

Great job really like the colors. And the pose of the figure.

Very very good work. this is they style i am striving to achieve

Thanks again everyone. nice feedback!

that nob guy look great.. i think he's almost the entire 450 pts of your army no offense I don't have a lot of xp with ork point costs..

As others have said, great dirt effects. I think it could do with more "weathering" and I say that in the sense of paint chips not dirt and rust, which you're already doing fantastic on. I'm especially looking at the body of the Mega Armour, which is mostly black. Some chips along the edges would really enhance it.

Now, that is a REALLY small bit of criticism for what is a fantastic model. I love how you've combined really bright colors with great dirt and rust effects without dulling the model overall.
