Hi all,

This last year or so I've been busy working on an Ork army inspired by the cover art of the most recent edition of the codex. Dark skin tones, gritty colours, and minimal highlights. Of course, such no-nonsense boyz have to be Goff klan! I've got a WIP thread over on The Waaagh, but I'll also post the finished pieces here.

Looks great! What colours did you use for the skin?

That's one of the best painted Ork trukks I've seen. It's not easy to get the Goff look to come off, especially with vehicles, but you've absolutely nailed it.

Is there a big mean Warboss, ala the codex, cover on the way?

Thanks for the comments, glad you both like the stuff.

For the skin it's literally just Elysian Green, and Agrax Earthshade. Nice and simple.

Regards the warboss, I've got two at the moment - the old metal one with the 'uge choppa, and the one from AOBR. Both I painted whilst getting myself back into painting/trialling the scheme, so I'm probably going to revisit them first.

Can't wait to see more

Excellent work, great colour choices and overall tone!

Elysian Green is such a great color. Fantastic work on these, the whole army's going to look great on the table, especially with those checks in there to add some flair.

Cheers all, hopefully get some more pics up soon.

Very nice too. Really like the use of the bronze metalics.

Nice n' dark!

Hi folks, thought I'd post up my recycled old Ghaz model which I finished off just recently. Part of my goal with this army is to spend as little as possible by salvaging my old orks from when I was a kid. I had a fair job getting it use-able again, resorting to chiselling off old superglue and the like to get the refit sorted. I forgot how heavy the model is!

Again, I've used minimal colour and adornment to give him an air of 'no nonsense', but decked him out in cheques as befits a tru' Goff. A motif I'm going to sprinkle throughout the army is 'da white stripe', and Gorbash sports it right on his iron 'gob.

Cheers both.

New Deff Dread inbound -

Excellent work. Always good to see a new take on orks.

Nice work.

Great work - good to see some well painted Goffs.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your boyz.

Some brand new 'Ard Shoota Boyz inbound. Cheers folks.

This is a damn good looking Ork horde.

Glad you like!

I've just gone back and edited the post and the picture from yesterday because I realised (with fresh eyes) that the white balance was pretty whacked. Not sure why it's a bit small there too, but clicking on it makes it a bit easier to see.

MANZ inbound....





Not sure how I'm going to store/transport these guys. Can see them being pretty fragile too. Anybody out there any good storage tips for metal MANZ?

This wartrakk is one from my childhood (easily 14+ years ago now) that I've converted and pressed back into service. I can't believe there still aren't new kits for these, but one day maybe!!

Some random shots of my favourites from the shoota boyz mob so far.

Looking great, Boss!

Yup, off to a great start. Nice work on the checks.

I love the skin tone and also the red lenses on the meganob and vehicles. Come to think of it I love it all Great job!

Nice work, sir. I really like the paint scheme you have going here. Keep up the good work!

Cheers guys, appreciate the kind words. Spruced up my painboy today as I wasn't quite happy with the previous finish. I've called him 'Butcha', and he makes a cracking Mad Doc Grotsnik proxy.

Loving that Painboy - he looks ready to botch up surgery on both friend and foe. Also you've thought of gravity when you painted the liquid in his 'urty syringe, so great work

G.A

Love the way the skin turned out. I think I might use that technique for some greenskins on my workbench.

Also, you said you chiseled off some superglue: on a metal mini you can remove super glue easily with acetone (nail polish remover). Don't use it on plastic or resin models though!!!

Nice skin-tone and excellent metal-work on the truk.

Love your colours! Muted green, black and checkers works really well.
