Nice start on the chappy. Agree with him about taking off the horns on the skulls. Thatll be fun...

I like the crozius on the other one. Looks like a cudgel, a brutal, simple beatin stick.

World Eaters head on an Imperial Fist and it works. Thats madness and I like it.

Chaplain looks great, and the Terminator is Fantastic looking as well, but the puppies as always steal the show. . They made me sneeze just looking at the one

Hmm, got a couple of those WE heads lying around that I wasn't sure what to do with, guess I do now and my HH army is going to get another very angry looking commander!

The Trukk looks amazing,really good stuff!

He looks fantastic Damo... and the puppy is very cute too! Perfect job on that ork battlewagon... has just the right feel to it.

Puppy is gorgeous Nerdfest!

Looking forward to seeing your IFs!

Thanks so much guys, I was going to try and get rid of the horns on the skulls but I don't feel I have the right tools and wouldn't want to ruin him! :-(

I kinda like the longer crozius on the PA Chaplain Whaley :-) it's a little different, giving him a longer sweeping style of combat options,I like to think it's what he trained with ;-)

also I painted the WE head but think I'll go with a different one I just don't like my paint job on it :-(

If you wanted a simple way to remove the horned skull, I'd file it flat and use a small etched brass fist. Plus it would give him some fist iconography.

Nice start on the chaplain, but I'm afraid that this one makes it for me the most!

Ah.. now I want one!

Is that paint on its ear?

Also want two

WAAAAAAAGH!!........and stuff

got my first battle wagon finished today, it's a brutish looking thing and was more fun than I thought it would be to paint it certainly suits the rusted plates of metal look! now it's only the boyz to paint and I can maybe have enough for a small game!

and if anyone has a suitable sized imperial fist brass etch for my Chappies chest..... let me know!

That is all kinds of awesome, Nerd! Really does look cobbled together from scraps,

Now that is propa Orky!

Can I ask how you did the rust? Was it just the Ryza Rust technical paint, or some other method? Or magic?

Looks fantastic Nerdy - love how individual and characterfull al the crew are. Superb stuff

Awesome looking battle wagon.

EDC

So pretty, it brings a tear to the eye to see such wonderful orkyness. And I too love and want to know how you are getting that glow from the gaps and the rust. I have stolen your blue/sepia technique and use it regularly now, but this glowing stuff intrigues me.

Great weathering on that battlewagon! Really nice.

I love the way you use the intermittent white lining to give it that bare metal gleam.

Nice work of late, Nerdy. Keep it up.

Drill Yo Barrels, man!

Thanks guys, I think next time I do a larger battlewagon i'll leave a few panels shinier metal and some painted in other colours not that I'm not happy with my work I just think a brother wagon would need a different look to it

I can feel the weight of 32 boyz pressing on me I know once I spend a day on them I will be pretty progressed but trying to find a solid block of time is proving really bloody hard!

as for the rust, it's not a technical paint at al it's just blazing orange paint watered down and washed over the metal parts for a light rust look and concentrated for heavier rust and between the panel lines where waters may channel down or sit, or just where it looks good

Looks good. That a similar look I'm going for in my Orks. Nice and Orky.

I was feeling a little off and couldn't get myself to paint, but I could wash! so I started washing a Biker Mob! and in true Damo style got pretty far in only an hour or two on and off between runs to the toilet with the... well, runs

but that aside, here's the boyz on their rides, the riders have only been placed on so I can paint them properly they all so far have been really fast to do and as usual this style while some may find it a bit the same as the rest of the army but it suits and I like the look










hope you guys still like 'em as slow as they come!

They're coming along great Damo, never fear.

Hope your feeling better. Bikes look ace for only a few hours.

Bikes are looking awesome. like the heads.

started collect a few things to spice up my Imperial fists when I get them under way

I found I had a Lysander model from when I was going to use it to make a lightning claw Terminator Captain for my Flesh Eaters the hammer and arm was broken but I was going to convert him slightly anyway so it's all good.

I did spend a little bit of money and bought Pedro Kantor as well so I've got options and he's pretty damn fisty!

So I really like to have bare heads on my characters and I was struggling to think of cool ones I can find that would be different and I found some that excited me greatly and fit in with the regal look and feel of those mighty Sons of Dorn

BUT!

Which head for what model? I am bare heading Lysander & Kantor and have 3 choices for these bad asses! so lets see what you think works best?

Head #1 Loken

Head #2 Abaddon

Head #3 MK3 Techmarine


next question, with the two characters I'll be subtly converting them both with the heads but should I leave Kantor alone apart from that? I saw a nice conversion with two powerfists and I thought I could do similar but incorporate Dorns Arrow like Marneus gauntlet? but i'm open to suggestions on this one. Lysander will get a new arm with more swing to it and I may have a play with his shield arm too?

1 for lysander, 3 for Kantor. Bad-a$$

I think Abbadon's head, sans topknot, would work great for Lysander. Then Loken's for Kantor.

I'd leave Kantor alone apart from that, he's got a gakton of presence and gravitas as it is. One of the best SM character minis, hands down.

I'd say 1 for Kantor and 3 for Lysander.
