Vindicator turned out awesome, Siggy. Glad to see some more of your Evil Sunz. Did I miss that Empire Boat? Or have you not finished that yet?

@Moltar: Cheers. I'm also glad I get to paint an Ork character for a change. The Empire Landship....sadly, I haven't painted it yet. :(



Before the day ends, here's another WIP of the Warboss:



...and we're off. Good night!

Those flames on the loin cloth are epic. Nice model in whole too! Also, while I'm here, do you have a colour list for your wolves? And if so do you share that sort of thing?

Cheer, James

Dont mean to seem negative (and i couldnt do any where near as good) but the metal on the klaw just needs something, im not sure what. But as you said this is WIP and does look BRILLIANT.

@jirc: Thanks for the comment. I'm sure that you will find the third in my series of Step-by-Step Painting Tutorials quite helpful: http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/new-step-by-step-painting-article/ Let me know if you have any questions.

@Tekeino: Hey, thanks for the input. I redid the claws a little now. Let me know how you like this newer version.

Warboss finished:


Hope you like 'im.

Amazing as always, Sigur!

you not doing the base on him???

Still looks epic though

Nice! As always, your highlights are beautifully crisp and clean. Are you going to do the base?

_Tim?

@Moltar: Thanks again.

@bigfish: I'm not allowed to. :( It's really getting a bit frustrating on how many armies I'm not allowed to do the bases lately. But anyway, I get that people want to match the bases with their existing armies/gaming mats/tables/boards.

@Tim: Cheers. Nope, no bases I'm afraid.



The Warboss looked a bit unhappy all by himself. Well, not entirely all by himself....




...but a Warboss (can you spot him? :p ) just isn't happy without his retinue of Nobz around him so I immediately commenced painting them:






*) In the picture of the shelf you can again see my camera's weird love for blue. The blue Marines on the top shelf stand out like crazy and the Land Raider looks way more blue than it does in real life. Weird.

Every time I look at your new stuff I get a sudden urge to go and paint. Thank you for being a catalyst of production.

@Grim Smasha: That's great to hear. Thanks.

Update on the Nobz:

Your speed and ability continue to astound me!

@Arakasi: Thanks.

Here's another WIP:


Not all that much is new; I mainly refined the cloth, did most of the detail like wristbands, bandoliers, boots and so on. The stuff you don't really see. But I really like those guys. They're colourful and fun which is kind of surprising as I was pretty surprised on how much the 2009 plastics' heads are ...well...let's say I'm not convinced of them. But once some paint is on them, they're getting better. Painting this unit really reminds me of when I painted my own Ork Nobz in power armour.

The Space Marine trophy helmet was painted like a Space Wolf because over on the forums the client I'm painting these Orks for reads as well - each time I post an update on the Space Wolves I'm doing simultaneously there he replies something like "great painting but I hate Space Wolves " so I thought it's just fitting to make that helmet a Space Wolfy one.

Hey Sigur, do you have by chance done a tutorial on your method for painting the Ork skin tone? I've had a look at your site and posts but I may have missed something!

thanks dude.


Nerdfest09

@nerdfest09: Not at this point, sorry. But I've been getting this question basically each time I posted an Ork picture during the past four years so I might do such a tutorial soon.

Nobz finished:






Hope you like 'em.

Love 'em! They look fantastic.

@Moltar: Thanks very much!


So after I had put the Nobz over on the shelf to have them with the rest of the army, I first thought I may be ready again to go back to Space Wolves. I'm not. I'm completely wolfed out. :p

So after stabbing the brushes at some Wolf Guard and Wolf Priests uninspiredly, I put them aside again, glanced over the Cockatrice.... the Landship (there was one in the US Golden Daemons this year and it has some things I envisioned for my Landship as well which kind of got me going for that again but I simply had to realize that there's more important stuff to do at the moment) so I went back to Orks on which really not all that much is left - one Trukk, the Bikers need finishing, one Battlewagon.... oh what the heck, I'll tell the tale in a more timely fashion:



Well, I'm sure it happens to all of us. Right? :S Anyhow, I'm working on the last Trukk and the last Nob now.

That totally sucks! Done it more than once too. I feel for you brother.

Ahahaah, Love the meme!

LOL that is awesome LOL

You seem to be having a mega productive week though Sigs, everything look great, and the amount of stuff is pretty staggering too!

Haha a meme to get with the hip young crowd ^^
love the painting, keep it up

That meme sums up my life. Love it!

_Tim?

Thanks Sigur, whenever you get a chance between painting Orks and wolves I'd be keen to see how you do that Ork skin, but no rush dude i've only got one Ork to paint unlike you! I just want to make sure I learn how to do it and do it well.

and that meme is awesome! lol, I believe it has happened to each of us at least once! kinda puts a stop on my painting when it does though!


Nerdfest09

LoL

@jirc: Cheers. It used to happen to me more often when doing larger units (and a messier desk).

@Knightley: Same here. It may not be really funny but for some reason many of these rage comics just crack me up. :p

@MajorTom11: Thanks muchly.

@LiveforFun666: Indeed. It's this scizophrenic situation of trying to keep up with them youngsters while yelling at them to get off my lawn. :p

@Some_call_me_Tim: Yus, I really aimed to go for "gripping realism" on that one.

@nerdfest09: Cheers. Yeah, it really made me not want to paint that guy at that moment so I decided to make a silly comic strip instead.

@big fish: Glad you like it.


Anyways, back to business. Here's the next trukk (WIP of course):








Automatically Appended Next Post:
Update!

Well, the trukk is basically finished (just some touch-ups on the crew and maybe if I find some other troubling bits):








Hope you like it. Next up: A single Ork Nob with power klaw and slugga I suppose.

Greetings! Update! New model started! (last Ork Nob finished!) Doesn't look like much at the moment! Just you wait! Will look very cool! Promise!

Nope, you're wrong it looks pretty damn cool already! can't wait to see this bad boy done! ;-)

Looking great, so far.
You don't have to promise us that it'll look good. We know your history enough to know that already. : )

Eric

@nerdfest09: Cheers, glad about your trust in my abilities.

@MagicalMemories: Hehe, thanks.

Update time!




Initially I had planned to only show a frontal view again but there's some totally not cool reflection going on there so I'll also post a side view:




Hope you like it so far. At the moment I'm at this point at which I'm really not sure if it's going to be finished either soon or will take much longer than I think. Still hunting for details and such.

Of course we trust you dude! :-) and we're not dissapointed either by the looks of that! it's madness I tell you! looks as Orky as you can get! bloody good job with it!
