Just got all caught up on this thread, amazing work recovering some of those models and giving them new life, that mad doc was one I'd have walked away from but you managed to do it very well, he had a club of a left hand that you managed to save, that amazing. Good work, lots of good stuff in here.

Solid mob of boyz, looking good, did you think about putting the nobs on 32mm bases? really sets them off.

Thank you SJM,

I don't have any 32mm bases to use, and since all my Nobz are balanced and have weights added to their original bases I am fine with them as they are...they also fit better in the Truks and Battlewagons.

Interesting to see that the faces didn't change too much even while the heights certainly did.

I really like the Mega Armoured Nobz. Some good stuff, also the blue squigs look ace too.

I have to ask - You paint so quickly. Is there a secret to not getting burnout? - As someone, who, like you, felt the pull of the Orks, I got two squads of boys and a trukk painted up in short order, but now have hit the wall...

Thanks anazingturtles, that particular old Ork has had a head swap, and a new weapon. The old heads were similar...simpler but similar.

Thanks Rinkydink,

Well this time round when I started adding the Shoota Orks, Big Shootas and building the larger Slugga Mob I used a slightly new technique involving a brown ink wash on my base coat and then a highlight after. It cut one stage of my painting, although I still did all three layers on my Ork Flesh.

As for motivation, due to medical treatments I only was able to paint 3 models last year and am trying to make up for lost time. I am also taking enjoyment from finishing groups of models and watching the army grow from 100 painted models to over 180 painted models in two months. So to put it another way, by painting small lots of 3-5 models in a group I have a quickly achievable goal to look at to start the next batch.

Here are three Big Shootas painted up:

Thanks Cleatus,

Some more Gretchin to get the unit to 28 Grots and 2 Minders.




I think one of them is not actually a Gretchin, but one of the little critters that hang around Ogres in WFB.



Cheers,

Thank you CommissarKhaine,

I believe you are correct, as one of the figures seemed to be made of resin and does not really look like a Gretchin...he came in a trade. Someone else might be able to confirm that.

Looking good.

Could I ask a favour, could you take some pics with a more neutral colour, maybe a grey or beige background, the white is making them awfully dark and obscuring your wonderful work.

I second this. Sometimes I find that when I upload to dakkadakka that it's best to use the original rather than the "auto-adjusted" version of photos. The auto-adjust always obliterates details. I don't know if that's what you're doing, but if you are, that's a simple fix. Because seriously you've painted so many boys and we really want to see them in all their glory.

Do you mean like this?



As opposed to this:



These were the first five AoBR Orks I painted to replace my Gorkamorka figures.

Yeah that blue background really makes your colours pop a lot more. You sure are a glutton for punishment CB eh? Doing both orks and guard, that's stamina.

Oh wow. What a contrast on a blue background they really pop.

You've sure painted a lot of boys.

One might even say that your paintbrush brings all the (ork) boys to the table, and they're like it's better than WAAGH!

Thanks Inevitable_Faith, evildrcheese and Camkierhi,

Most of my photos are on white backgrounds, I will see if I can do some more on the blue.

In the meantime here is the completed Shoota Mobz:
