This piece of the flatter heavily cracked board is where I'm having trouble to make it look better?

Nice painting room and nerdshed!

I'd go with more weathering powders on the large cracked area. Maybe vary a couple of tones on the surface and have some darker above, pick out some edges, and then the powder in the cracks.

Well, first day having a paint on my new desk the light is definitely the best bit! o much better to paint and pic under!

I washed all my boyz and began the BattleWagon and then got into the Weirdboy, I wanted to start again with a stand alone model and he seemed like a good pick the details in under his jacket are a bit confusing partly sculpt, partly messy finecast but I've made the parts darker and bought his face to the fore as the focal point as well as his staff in his hand.

he's fun to paint and i've stayed with the darker scrapyard style of the rest of them trying to get an oiled leather look to his clothes and trappings

Washed Boyz

Wagon


Weirdboy





There you go guys hope you like

Swwweeet sweet orky stuff there Nerdy. Those boys are fantastic - everyone looks so different and its own character. Wagon looks great but I'm loving that weirdboy the most. realy nice paintjob

Back in Green!

BW looks good, that's a really nice model, going to have to get one one day see what I can do with it.

Weirdboy is fabulous, Love his purple touches, really stand out.

Ahhhhhhhh green fog returns great Boyz love the spellcrow heads really give charater a model.

Wagon is coming on nicely Althought I think your gunner has had to much squig Juice dozen blade looks tops nice rust work

Weird boy looks mental great job on pushing the character out of that model, one crazed looking mini and the purple is awesome

Looking great Nerdfest! I particularly love the staring eye; has a real manic feel!

Wow. You have one organised hobby space! Great start on the orks by the way, that Weirdboy is excellent.

EDC

Sorry to have been away for a bit, life happening. Desk looks great, love the sonic paint shakers on the corners to keep motivation up . More lessons on greenskin flesh coming soon i see.

The sale of my Flesh Eaters army fell through sadly, so it's up for sale again! if any of you know someone who may be keen I'm only asking $1000 Aus for the force. and i'm neg on postage.

Weirdboy is done I think he's a worthy addition to the grubby little Waaaagh! I'm building just imagine when you look at him the heavy chinking sounds as the rusted metal of his adornments hits together and the oiled heavy rustle of his leather cloak made from some exotic hide.

I have fun painting any Ork characters they're really fun and the older hand sculpted ones are by far the best

Fantastic work bud, just sublime. Love it.

That is a steal for someone. It's like $750 usd, which would have to be close to just the models.

Weird boy looks great. Lots of flavor.

Yeah really, Almost a crime at that price! Such a pretty army... hopefully they go off to a loving home


Good to see you back in the green, as it were. Weirdboy looks fantastic. Love the purple details, and your super bright rust really pops against the rest of the green.

Green 2016 is looking GOOD!

Weirdboy looks great!

sweet heavens Nerdy.....that weirdboy is fantastic. One of the best I've ever seen. Wow - really gorgeous work

Awesome, the whole thing is great but that leather cloak (such as it is) takes the prize, brilliant texture work!

Thanks for the positive vibes guys :-) I wasn't planning on Orking it up again so soon but they are FUN! I'll be painting up some boyz soon and maybe some Camkierhi specials ;-)

and as for my Flesh Eaters army, yes it's a steal, especially in the US and I'm also negotiable so you could get it a little cheaper if you ask. I just need a new kitchen renovation so some of you guys can comedown under and stay with me comfortably and get our Nerd on!

Love dat wierdboy! Nice job Damo... you've really got a handle on the orks. Played a game last night vs. another ork player and he was gushing over the grots you painted for me!

Looks great nerdfest! Love the uses of red and brown on the skin....and as has already been said that cloak is top work!

Howdy guys, I finally have some update stuff to show you again!

I've got s few weeks from work and the time so far has been happily spent caring for a litter of 7 five week old Samoyed puppies and their mum! so currently I have 11 dogs at home

today though I pulled out my hobby box and built a chaplain for my Imperial Fists army not for any real reason other than I really like the idea of the Chaplains and love the imagery of them, not really liking any of the current offerings I had previously bought a Legion of The Damned Sarge and I now went about doing a small conversion so he had a crozius of sorts I like the helmet and pose very much on this guy and used the leg flame and helmet crest to mark him out as an Imperial fist at a glance do you think I should paint the flames on the greaves light at the bottom blending into darker points? or light points leading down to dark at the bottom? I personally think lighter at the bottom would look better and help accentuate the models shape?





Next up is a pretty boring two photos of a few boys with their first coat of green, still a bunch more to go..........




and a little more exciting work is the progress on the Battle Wagon it's now been washed and the first layer of scratches have been applied, it's starting to come together and look like it's going in the right direction next she'll be washed again and given a bit of the 'ol orange rust wash to give those rivets a bit of aged corrosion also had my very first play with the GW Technical paint 'Blood for the blood god' just a small amount as if they hit someone in the Wagon.





So that's a start again it's now going to be a challenge to decide whether to work on the chaplain (who is yet to be named....... ) or the Wagon.....or the Boyz.....

Love that Chaplain so far! Flames should probably light at the base, fading darker as you go up, that's how actual flames work, and it looks best anyway.

Will you be darkening the armour?

The boyz look great so far as usual. With the Chaplain it depends on how you'll be painting the armour. If you're going to have black greaves, I tend to go yellow at the tips of the flames which makes them stand out more (even though as Para points out, flames work the other way) but it really depends on whether you want them to pop more from the feet or the mid-greave.

Just love the chappy. Light at the bottom.

Chaplain looks great mAn. I will chip in and add I agree, lighter at base. On other hand they would look cool as metal against black greaves too!

Battlewagon looks excellent, nice and grimey.

Boys look good.

Chaplain looks excellent, nice few tweaks. Just for kicks I will throw in Yellow greaves with black flames!

Love the chappie. The face is fabulous.

Damn it Damo... I love how you paint your chipped metal. Thats seriously some torn-up, beaten up, rag-tag armor you have going! Blood spatter on the ram is a great touch too- stands out against the green but totally belongs there.

Green 2016 is looking goooood

I have a lot of distractions around me at the moment, well seven distractions that look like this




but thankfully Nerdwench takes over and I get a chance to sit for a bit and do some Nerd stuff Like today for instance I got the main body of the Wagon done and now only have the claw and crew to paint up! and it looks cool and heavy, battered and used!





I have also really really immersed myself into how I view and appreciate the Imperial Fists Pious and stoic, stubborn and methodical which led me to want to add another chaplain to the force, I raided through my bits box and models and decided to convert something cool, I grabbed the BA Libby and got cutting, not a huge amount of changes just subtle ones that really mark him as a reclusiarch of renown

still more to add, like his storm bolter and some gap filling and rivets, as well as his skull mask hanging somewhere as I wanted to show this guy bare faced and brutal, damaged and scarred wearing his wounds as a badge of office to inspire those around him, I used a bare head that I always thought was bloody terrible but in the right setting even a World Eaters rampager can be saved






so sorry too guys that I haven't been as productive this year so far but I hope you'll stay with me while I slowly get more done I hope you like this latest batch and any suggestions would be welcome

Nice. The Imp Fist chappy looks great.

That Libby is one ugly dude, lots of character though.

EDC

I like the termi more (crozious on the other guy looks off to me). Make sure you get the markings off his talberd and the horns off the skull on his chest and it will be like he was never a libby!
