That Victoria Lamb stuff is perfect!

Those lasgun arms especially... so cool.

yup... i can only recommend them to you... for conversion work these are some very good choices... also... they are shouldpad-less... which makes them ideal for any necromunda stuff in my book too...just saying

Looking good. vik!!!

thanks hazzer!

Nice drop aint got the new heads yet building an order the last time I checked it it was nearly $430 might have to rework that a little me thinks LOL

O come on Vik you can nock work out pretty dam quickly, but vehicles you seem to hit a wall with Don't get me wrong I cant complain what was the last thing I finished hell started

The cigaret and lighter is a great combo in that set, the shotgun arms are AWESOME they are a must mate, if you only buy 1 more thing get a set of those bad boys

Vik nice supply drop. Really love the theme of your army, do hope one day you have an army shot.

Nice to see Vik back to m,akin g proper Viktorians

Wow, that's some haul you have there!
Now if only they'd have some kind of airship or zeppelin...

oooh..Burn

haha... that zepplin thing again


well.. for now i am working powerful on the comrade panda competition about "brotherhood"...
mine is a brotherhood of xenos... tagteaming against humnanity...bound to happen sooner or later or the emperors misfits will erase all life in the end...

and they will be standing admists a blate of glory... yeah... burn baby, burn!!!


so here is the primed pieces...

(FYI i am way further... but this i will keep to myself...well if you ask nicley i will show you tomorrow )






cheers, vik

Very Very cool Vik! Although the Ork looks more like he's tolerating the others

which isn´t something to sneeze at...for a fish face and a space elve... under different circumstances they´d be a bloody smear on the pavement then

How you going to tie them together ? Matching coloured outfits ? Black and yellow perhaps

I think the ork is going to eat the other 2 to be honest

well... he would choke on them for sure

matching colorschemes is the plan... i am going for a red/ white/ black scheme here with the different skin colors as a nice fresh input... it is a rather drastic theme... atm i am rather fond of the tau and the eldar guy... these i have a good feeling about... the ork is one i have my dounts... mebby you can lend a hand here for directions...will show pics later opn of the current status quo...

Nice idea Vik. Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Maybe keeping iconography of their race still but in the corresponding colour scheme if you see what I mean, the Ork I would make one of the colours as an overall base colour (either the red or black).

Then I would take the white and either the red or black (the colour that you did not use for the base colour) and paint them as a bad paint job over the base colour, by this I mean the way tanks in WW2 were white washed for snow camouflage.

This way it will tie but keeping the characteristics of their race, you could follow similar techniques with the way you paint the Tau and Eldar, borrowing from their normal uniform designs just using your colour pallet.

Hope this helps some also to add a little more connection between the group you could kit there weapons out with a mix of each races technology

tonight... tonight...

LOL Love that toon spent many hours watching it saturday mornings
So did it help any ?

Hurry up! It's Night there now!

Cool Hydra Vik, and liking the brotherhood competiton stuff so far

Here I sit with a broken heart, night came and went, and not even a fart.

well.... star wars a new hope was on tv yesterday evening... then i had today a class of first aid i had to visit...study requirments... and thus i went to sleep a little early...

BUT...

i can post them pics NOW...

here they are...still very early WIP...i primed them...then i aplied a black basecoat on everything... (some would have suggested a black primer on all models...but i primed everything in grey... to save time...)...

then i started to heavy drybrush everything in white art paint... over the drybrushed whiteness i then aplied red paint...rather thin so then i had a kind of sweet color transition... well it worked for me ... also i detailed as good as i could... no i tell a lie here... due to immense stupidity i first did the basecoat of every skin... which got ruined due to the drybrushing with white... i know... foolish^^...

also...the display base is first whitened... then i aplied yellow wash in liberal strokes over almost everything... and thus has some points still white... when everything was dry again i brushed some golden yellow on... tonight i want to aply fiery orange and after that blood red...

better paintes probably would do this with more steps inbetween to get smoother transitions for the fire... but me... i am still a straight from the pott painter... i am learning in baby steps still

here are the pics:

















the ork atm is the model i am least satisfied with... any clues on how to make him look better and how to make the scheme work better would be greatly apreciated!

thanks, Vik

I don't see where you think it does not work ? Overall they keep their individuality but still look like a team

What is it of the Ork you are having issues with ? If you give us an idea of what is causing you concern might be able to help

The base looks a bit like meringue at the minute LOL ermmm food

well there is that bracer on his back... and the belly armor...i kinda don´t have a clue how to paint these...what color? should i go for brown on the bracer? that would widen the scheme ... dunno if i want that... or should it be red?
belt by the way too is a problem... and what color should the amo belts be in? red?... it is the first ork of my doing... so i am a bit in unknown waters here^^

Well, like I said you aint following the normal formula on this, so go nuts with it I myself would go the extreme way here (after all Orks are a crazy assed race ) you mentioned white how about doing the straps that colour ?

It's a bit out their but I think it would work well, plus help tie him in with the rest not sure what you mean as to ammo belts ?
As for the armour keep it metal based maybe with some kind of design on it, or how about markings as counters for kills

I don't know if that is any help

oh yeah... that was helpful for sure!... the white bracers...tho a bit skinhead looking then...is a cool idea... i will try to do them with a really strong drybrush... this will give them a cool weathered look...

as for the amo belts... you only see some small parts atm as the mini was photographed in an angle that didn´t show them... the model as such was a poor AOBR ork... i cut off one arm... it had a chopper... and replaced it with another gun wielding arm... and the belly already has an orky glyph... i think i will paint it either red or also white... that could work...

the white on the tau is what really makes me like the project atm... never knew how cool heavy drybrushed white ver black could look... i will endeavor this scheme in the fullness of time further... there is high potential in this...!

Well if you want to go the whole skin head feel which will also work perfectly with the Ork, how about black and white cheques on the braces LOL

Sounds like a plan mate cant wait to see this progress, the only thing is I am thinking of a skin head gang for my project now Dam you Vik Dam you

Wow Vik! That is some impressive highlighting on the black armored Elf!
The weathered armor on the Tau is fantastic!
Although I know it's WIP.. the Ork's pants stitches need to be a diff color

good progress vik!
