@bigmek... same story here, and thanks for the comment!
@norn; i ran out of red car primer, and black kills red/green colours that i use.

so... stompa is done, all the rokkitz and gunz i could find/bash have been added.




And since a group shot was requested, heres what been painted so far, either completed or 50%+


-skrall

I love 'em.

OH you've got the giant tank thingie from FW.... what are it's rules like?? Is it fun?

Its been a while since i did some work on my orks... my flesh tearers are taking up what free time i have. however, i have started work on the stompa once more...





Its just basecoated in red, i've done my usual flakey rusting paint in areas.

C&C?

-skrall

It's red....

Next question?



(like the eyes though)

Now... everyones a fan of fighta's... and i've built one before. I am now happy to announce i am going to build Da Deff Skwadron.



Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, i am building 9 full scale fighta's and fighta bomba's. Below is the first frame for my fighta bomba, as well as the first one i built does look a bit naff now but.. hey, what can ya do.




So... comments? suggestions?

-skrall

Just.... really cool skrall. I'm going to enjoy watching this come together!

me too

@git; thanks for visiting my thread again!
@git & crazy; hopefully this will satisfy you interests!

Ok time for update on fightabomba 1. I've got little to no plasticard till payday tomorrow, so i've been pvc'ing my framwork to get it moved forwards.





C&C?

-skrall

Definitely looks promising!

I like it skrall, has all the right orky feeling and proportion!

Holy crap that jet engine on that second one is epic. That build is pure genius.

Excellent start, that's cetainly heading in the right direction.

Nine of these lovelies to come you say? Looking forward to them.

Thanks for the comments guys! So... i'm planning on adding a special character to my wing...

here's the datasheet i have.



there's about a 50point cost above the costs of each of the weapons he's armed with, but what do we think?

-skrall

could you make that datasheet bigger? its a bit hard to read it.

i tried about 5x, it keeps autoscaling it, the largest version that's legible can be found HERE

its the long awaited update... BADMOON time.

This time i've gone via a different style of weathering and damaged look, there's the current WIP (the lower body needs alot of work, as well as the whole needing general touch ups)

-skrall

C&C welcome....

Thats a lot to do, but i've got 3 bikers and the two kopta's ready for the fun over the next day or two. i also must make a start on scratch building that damned warkopta.

-skrall

p.s see attached as to how i felt when i woke up this morning.

Hmm, that looks like a fairly full schedule you've got there, but that's some good progress you made today

Liking Wazzdakka and the finished mek looks great.


I see a big ol' mould line on those kopta shootas though.

Really excellent orks.

cool

I wana see the BIG THING in the background of one of the first shots

thanks for the comments guys!

@monkey, yeah i saw it too.... it has been corrected.

@nightfall, there should be images around... if not i can put some up with my next post.

Update time, ive gathered together all of my models for this army list, so here is a picture of what is to be painted, with some junk in the background. 3 models will act as 'count as' until i buy/build replacements. Rep will be given for the first to spot which model shouldn't be in the army....





Looks pretty shabby atm, but i need to buy/build/paint a lot more before i consider it to be respectable. wish me luck.

in the meantime, this is my necron warrior test model.



FINAL IMAGE

C&C?

-skrall

Itz Killboy Time.

Still early WIP, need to do alot of adjusting, scultping and replacing to be done. the head is only a temp, but in the meantime...





and here is the original artwork i am basing this off.



C&C?

-skrall

Awe inspiring pose skrall.... really good.

@gitz; thanks man!

here's a weathering tutorial for tanks since i've had a few people ask how i do it.

Part 2; Speed weathering.

step 1; get a tank.



Nice isn't she?

Step 2; the brown coat.



Now i used scortched brown with a little chaos black. All you need to do is get a sponge or the old foam they used to do in the days of the metal blister packs, and dab it on in places like corners, the bottom of armour, near guns ect.

Step 3; silverz




Same process, just get mithril silver, use a sponge and dab it on, ensuring to touch only lightly and never to cover all of your browncoat.

step 4; other bitz



All your doing here is simply adding a chaos black/scortched brown mix on to the barrel of any major artillery pieces of damaged spots. in this case, start with the dark coat, then add another tone (see below for pics) over the top. i usually mix up a orange/brown/snakebite mix to get the best scorching i can.

Step five; Admire.




And there you have it, one speed weathered tank. Result will varey with time/race/painters.

-skrall

Nice approach skrall... and it sure works!

@git; thanks man!

Ok time for an update, i'm currently batch painting orks... lots of them. here's how the they stand atm. I've also been working on a warboss i got off ebay, he's still not done yet, but you get an idea of how 'eavy armoured he is.





C&C welcome as always,
