That die guy is great! Would be great to go on a knight base or something to keep track of hullpoints.

Just love the barding on the horse Damo... you need to find more excuses to do that kind of thing.

Hot dog.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, your reds are S.E.X.Y.

They're like paint porn.


And that freehand work on the horse.
Heaps jealous.

I'm more and more impressed, the more I come here mate... Special kudos for the "good" Vampire <3

Thanks again guys! I'm pretty pleased with these mini's as a whole, they are all subtly different in painting and I think they pop enough for what they are intended for the barding? I think it looks acceptable if I go back to when I started the blog, my goal was to find methods and techniques that look good and can lift a model but were easy to do for anyone! and that horse blanket is just two washes and some silver paint! and that saves from lot and lots of blending!

I fink my Orky 'ome iz reely a orky 'ome now! we'ze been doin' a new back fence to keep the squig hounds in and we fought it a gud ideaz to make it reely orky so no one will mess wiv us eva!

Waaaaaaaagh!!!!



Also got the net line up for the paint bench! and it's a bit of Orks for myself I have a wall of Kans and my new Deff Dread to paint up after being inspired by the look of Gits Cyborks metals!

also gonna do the same for Ghazzy! yes he's getting some love! I will paint him until I get some heads! you can see how he fits on the base squishing the marine!


and the Banewagon and friends waiting for brush!


and I took a nice pic of 'Father of Nerdfest' he came over to make sure the fence wasn't going to fall on anyone I hope one day I can coerce him into our hobby!

Oh wow Damo that vampire on horse is amazing, the freehand, oh the freehand is so draw dropping.

Great stuff bud. Loving the fantasy minis! Keep on keepin on bro!

BB

I wudn't go enywere neer dat fence, dat mek 'hoo put dit togeva mustav' been wantin' to be propa' safe inside dat rokk. Git.
Where kud I gets mezelf one!

Great work on the orks, Nerdy. Love the dirty metal you have going on them.

Good job on the other mini's. The girl and her horse are very nice. :thumsbup:

lol at fence. Let's hope you don't have to explain some of that to the fuzz one day. "No honest, I don't actually want anyone to die, officer"

DUDE !

I mean DUUUUUDE

Ab-so-fething-lutely tastic ! Love it all mate, Little H is so chuffed to have to "Evil" characters for his adventurers to fight !
Pure brilliance, knew you'd do the Slann proud !

Not so sure about the fence matey, I mean, what about if the Inquisition pop in for "a chat" ???

Kan I show you some progress on my Kans! yes of course I Kan!

as I mentioned I am copying Gits Cybork style I just did because I really like the simple feel and look to the metals. I washed them all again (inc Ghazzy) with Agrax/Sepia/black so that is the base worn metal colours, next I go back and highlight rivets and edges with pure metal and selectively wash again with orange and blacks




Now for Ghazzy! who I'm christening the 'Bulldozer of Blackstone!' after seeing pict vids of Terran construction on an imperial world he invaded, the image burned into his piggy little brain was of great machines plowing through forests an buildings, their dulled and worn yellow paint barely visable on the leading edges destroying all in the way! using this image he modeled himself in the same vein letting nothing stay his momentum!

So, hence you will see the start of this big bad mutha! he has select patches of muted yellow on him but I don't know if to add more? I don't want him to look like a Bad Moon! but I think when I get him a decent looking head and add a beret to it he'll fit into the army just nicely






I'm pretty happy so far! it's easy to get this look and i'll be using it on my vehicles as well but with more coloured army panels

You got love the rust colour the joke not so much kan I get an amen ....."

Dread and khans look great so far your colour technique has to be admire works a treat plus screams ork to me

As to the Big Bad Mutha I think if you use the yellow sparingly and scratch / rust it up a bit it should be enough to stylise it with out labelling it as a Bad Moon allegiance.

I gather that's not the head you are using then ? Have you a head in mind then ?

If you don't find a head for him soon I will have to send you one for him damn it

@LDD: Damos getting a selection o head from me that he can choose from.

Nice work on the models man. Great to see paint on them.

Or maybe add the black chevron/hazard stripes?

I'm a fan of the rust covered/ looking orks.

I never would have guessed.

That's good to know I was getting worried for the poor guy no head and all that

Really love the look you have going on the clanky stuff.

As a slight side note on the head, I really liked this one, kinda suits your theme as well. Cant for the life of me remember if it was a spellcrow or a Kromlech or a maxmini head.



I know spellcrow do some awesome Green Beret heads, but knowing Gits he has you covered perfectly anyways.

Hey Cam I might be wrong but it looks like one of the MicroArt range Ork heads.

Peeps! do I wait or do I update? I'm torn! I've done a heap to the Bulldozer of Blackstone and his armour is nearly done and the same for the Deff Dread and some more on the Kans but I don't know if just a bunch of pics of weathered scratched metals is going to really excite you!? :-( especially since I plan on having them all as mainly just weathered bare metals :-) which means I suppose that they're nearly done except the lenses and details like engine furnaces and random panel spots which won't be thrilling to only show you them later!

or I just finish at least one tomorrow to show..... I don't know?



i'm going to bed...... obviously i'm tired!

Updates are always better then no updates. Always.

I have to agree plus you could do a step by step process

Well if updates are good I better update then

I have just about finished the metal parts on The Bulldozer of Blackstone! and the Dredd! my goal was to make them look 'heavy' like solid metal plates heavy! I think I've got it right lots of scratches to battle scar them and now it's the details to go! woo hooo!

I'll start with the Dredd, he's gonna be dead killy I reckon! what's the consensus on blood/old gore? should he have some added?








And the Bulldozer! he's gonna be sweeeeeet! looking forward to finishing him up and snapping some good shots! does he look enough like a battle hardened warlord?







So? do you guys think this will work across the force? vehicles as well? more chipped and dirty with more coloured panels I plan on doing? should be pretty fast to do when I line up a bunch of stuff and should look pretty good all arranged for Waaaaagh!!

They look very impressive Nerdy, what do they look like next to some boys so we can get a feel of what the force would like like all together?

That's so cool. Yeah, crusty old gore is a must.

The rust is spot on mate you have that nice mix of dusty, dirty, grubby, decaying rustic look

As to adding gore yes but I would not go mad maybe some on the Klaw and a little splatter up the arm, maybe some on the main body (like a splash back) but be sparing as sometimes it can get to much.
I think the colour should work well across your army, as to add a little difference here and there maybe add a splash of colour just break it up, but only on the odd panel like one dot of colour and make sure it is scratched and dented though as if a quick fix plate.

Have you considered making the Tusks on the dread actual ivory just to give a break of colour to it

Everything has a "fresh made from da scrap-yard look to it

Wooooooow!

Always love how your metals come out, nerd. Its just something about the extreme contrast of the rusty grimy metal and the super sharp scratches that really really works for me.
An entire force of these would be a sight to behold!!

I'd recommend the same advice as LDD about gore: Just a bit, but dont go overboard!

Quite a lot since I last checked in. The Cyborks look great, and I love the old, worn, rusted metal effect you used on both those and also on the Dreads, Kans and Ghaz. I'm also very impressed with the silver-stitched livery for the vampire. Very impressive stuff!

Your Orc weathering is great Damo ! Simple, effective , and all acrylic , Brilliant !
