Beautiful work Skrall. Really like the action pose and all the various bits and sundry look very well matched. Wish I had your design talents...

@gitsplitta; thanks dude!

ok.... so i'm ludicrously ill with man flu, as a result my next update is a bit weak... On the otherhand, should arrest some of the outstanding issues.




and following this design for a warboss i'm making a stompa;




so the basic works on the warboss, i added the details such as rivets and shaving the klaws, though i've just noticed the rivets peeling upwards so i need to fix that.

C&C?

-skrall

Now... This is far from my finest hour, but i thought what the hell i'll shove it up for ridicule. this is my still drying bloodthirster. I've had it on my shelf as a wip for about 18 months, i finally decided to rush a paintjob and get it done.





The base will basically be liquid blood once the varnish dries and stops looking like pink spunk. I don't own brass paint, see no reason to start now, so its... rusted metal! suprise suprise!

Any comments? ridicule is acceptable and encouraged.

-skrall

So... its been just a few days since i fell ill... but during that time a rebellion has begun!





still fairly work in progress, but he's looking ok considering i had to rebuild his right foot and left hand because i managed to buy a model from ebay without either.

C&C?

-skrall

looking good mate . is that bloodthrster a bullrog for LoTR?

That's a great figure... I've seen it before. Where is it from?

I think that's a Rebel Grot Leader.... One of GW's finest mini's!
The Orks look great btw, I'm gonna be trying your weathering technique on my old 2nd Landspeeder I've got lined up next....

Thanks for the comments guys! yeah the thirster is a Balrog, and the grot is indeed the Red gobbo, or well most of him. Love the model.

so, not much to report, just got my next set of painting mini's prepped.



I have a new warboss to paint;


And of course the flash gitz i build a while back.



Why is the medic red you ask? well i'm planning to revamp him... quite a bit infact. below will give you an idea of where i am going.




C&C?

-skrall

Love that video!

You could always hit up a nob with a big shoota and a healthy sheen of mithril silver all over him... ubernob.

if it wasn't because the tf2 medic had human skin, i would had thought he was an ork painboy.

Indeed.

Lovely ideá, looking forward to see how it turns out!

thanks for the comments guys!


So i've been quiet for an unusual amount of time.. between illness and SPACE MARINE i haven't had much time of late.... but i've ordered some re-enforcements which includes;


thats some more warriors for my oldschool army

and now for my battlwagon early WIP; so far just blocked out some of the basics;





C&C? hopefully i'll get the latest Rok full of boyz tomorrow and give a good update.

-skrall

Not sure if the deff-rolla is big enough

Also, you need to close that green paint up properly.

All looks good so far, and nice to see some of the old-timers getting called up.

@monkey; maybe this will help you see how big it is...

Ok small update, i'd hope for a larger one but because englands in the middle of 80mph winds and i'm on a island in the middle of the irish sea the post office can't do jack squat. why? because niether boat or plane is liable to try and cross in this sort of weather, and even if they have i suspect i've been let down by darksphere.co.uk and there previous 2 days from purchase to delivery time tables. It doesn't help my dad's borrowed my drill so i can't even cut the barrles for the bigshootz which will live in the housings shown below.






The last two photo's show the new heavier armoured front, and the fact the rolla is twice the size of the average ork boy. Don't let the raider fool you, this things a beast.

C&C?

-skrall

That's awesome.

How's that for a comment?

Like the new front armour. And I thought the rolla was plenty big enough, don't worry



Still not closed up that green though

@git; rather a good one!

@monkey,i have many things to say about those new paint pots. none of which is legal by forum rules. thanks for the feedback though!

Now.. painting update. I've discovered a great way to do blood effect and... me gusta.





-skrall

Well??? Fes up man!

Nice and bloody

Looks a bit like Tamiya Clear, except for those really deep red gory patches. Do tell.

And yep, those pots are certainly not great. Now my local shop has shut down and it'll all come from t'internet now, I can see myself switching to Vallejo and their dropper bottles.

@monkey/gits; the tutorial will be popping up tomorrow when i paint zagstrukk...

now, someone mention the gaze of gork?



-skrall

Holy !
SUBBED

Very spooky!! (love it!)

@norn; lol best comment of the thread so far.

@git; indeed, i shall put it in the window at hallow... or maybe something cooler.


Stompa time! after 2 days i've got enough to be worth showing. currently its about 70% finished, i've got detailing to add, the deff arsenal to model and some other bits and bobs...





and it came with enough spares to start me off with the rolla!


C&C?

-skrall

Seriously cool.

This thread is so full Gork and Mork, pure win win!

Thanks for sharing

Dakka stompa. So, how many Supa Mega Gattlas you got on there?

@git/ migsula; thanks guys!
@anvildude; just the one, the other is a gigashooter. the rough load out is;
Deff arsenal, repair crew, one of those shields, co-axil deff cannon/giga or gatler, gigga shoot, bellycannon, gaze of gork. lot o' dakka.

I'm off to bed now, but before i go i thought i'd get a headstart on zagstrukk.




-skrall

so. zoggin. cool!

like what you did with the stompa. since the deff arsenal said, that the mekboy got a bunch of "borrowed" weapons, he simply slapped them on the stompa, so thats what i did. slapped some weapons i had lyin around and glued them to the hull.

do you always use a white base-coat?
