Great stuff as usual!

I also what to thank you for the advice on how to take photos of red. I'm using a darker background and I moved the lights further from the light tent. huge difference. the reds no longer look wahsed out

Mottling the skin for the older orks sounds like a great idea.

Very nice mash-up of orks there Nerdy. Papa Gits approves!

Coolness! :-) glad I've done the correct thing building these guys, I know all the old skool Warboss's can be pretty finicky with the Greenskins! if ive got the 'feel' right then I'm happy because I like how they look and the personality of each one I think comes to the fore? will make painting them a LOT of fun for me!

I'll mottle the older skins to make them different which will be fun too, I'll look at lizards/frogs etc for ideas.

Styro, mate, glad I could help :-) using the white paper at different distances from the flash to get the right light is the best thing for my photography! it's trial and error but once you get it on the day you can quickly snap a bunch and know they're all going to be the same.! :-)

Interesting contrast between the Kromlech bits and the GW bits.

But as Gits said, great mash up. It certainly gives the force a diverse look. How many orks do you have total to assemble and paint?

You wanna see some assemble Orks dudes?

Got the Berets on the Orks done and some small additions to them, the Nobz have had a rockit system attached to a couple of them as well as a severed head to add some more action to the pose as well as make them larger to the eye. I also filled in the spaces on the GW Nobz bodies by adding a knife/ammo or a chain of large caliber bullet

Kans done too! pretty straight forward build with what was in the box which differs slightly from what GiraffeX had written up for me but they should still be decent I hope. popped some pva glue soaked gauze on a couple which i'll paint up as scrim net or camo canvas

so a bunch of pics to just give you an idea of what's been built and how they look, hope you like them all.

And have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS tomorrow be safe and have fun, love those you're with and think about those who aren't with you and we can all swap tales in a day or two














Phew Im gonna be a busy busy man

Noice. I like the dude with the jack hammer arm firing the pistol. He's gnarly looking.

Bags of fun! And merry xmas to you, too, as it's just about started there

Good builds on all the new greenskins (and you do do very nice green skin). Look forward to seeing them done.

Have a good Christmas.

Orks look great Damo.

Have a good Christmas

These Orks are going to be cool as you like !

Happy Christmas Damo !

Merry Christmas Damo, loving the Orks! The Barrets are a nice touch

Merry Christmas Damo. Hope you and the Mrs. really enjoy your first Christmas as hubby & wife. PUT THE MINIS DOWN and be sure to enjoy the day with your sweetie!

Merry Christmaaaaaas!!!

Have a nice Christmas!

Thank you all for the Christmas wishes! we had a lovely day Down Under with the usual lunch until we can't move, a nap on the couch and plenty of gifts and love thrown about! nothing hobby related for me though as i'm the only one who knows what its all about although I did score some new undies and socks which I was happy about which also means I must be getting old? also got a 75th anniversary collection of Batman stamps

hope you all have a lovely day with your friends an family and we'll gt back into it in the new year! or as I like to call it Green2015

much love, and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Damian

Green 2015 looks like it's in full swing! started my 5 man Nob squad today and pretty much finished the skin tones and wounds once I start blocking in the rest of the main colours they'll pop a bit more. I plan on keeping them with a small palette of colour throughout the force so their weapons will be like the Warboss' and a dark metal with rust accents I can bring in some spot colour with the clothing in the camo designs and so forth.

I also had an idea to make a Boy into a Navy Seal so I started that too and nearly have him all converted! he' got a nice little spear and Scuba tanks as well as a face mask goggle he'll be painted as if he's in a wetsuit so I think he'll be something cool to add!













And here's the Seal team member, needs a bit of smoothing and filing and he'll be ready for paint






Love to know what you guys think of them? good enough for a tabletop job? I know it little chalky in spots but all in all I can paint a whole lot really fast!

As usual I love them and hate you if it was not for the fact that you have never seen blade runner ( yes I know WTF and he calls himself nerd ) I would hide away in a hole in the ground

No you have made a great start I like that you keep the pallet simple which really pulls the unit together, some great combos and nice flow with the minis although I think you should have GS the arm joins with the torsos on the bare arms got you

Love the navy seal guy great idea count that as stolen although have a different take on it, have you considered adding flippers or at least one

Anyway great stuff mate looks awesome can't wait to see what other colours you add and happy new year to you and the family

Happy new year Mr Nerdfest. Those orks look lovely. Very cyborg comando.

Those are coming along beautifully Nerdy. Very impressive indeed!

Great work "festy" skin tones are sooo good.

Seal looks amazing, totally love that.

Awesome job so far.

I do agree on the GSing the should gaps, but otherwise the skin tones look spot on. Green 15 is off to a good start!

looks like you're off to a cracking start Nerdy.

Your technique of painting the green bits beige first is the way I'm doing my green skins too. Then I hit it with some green! Great minds and all that.

Amazing work. Subscribed!

The Seal cracked me up. I also really dig how irritated the skin looks around the bionics. It almost looks a bit graphic, and I love that! I don't think the size difference of the nobz is bad either, rule of cool Damo, rule of cool, and your got that in spades

That one Nob(?) appears to ate a grenade. Reminds me of that scene from Elysium.

I really like the frog-man... just a brilliant idea.

Thanks dudes! I've nearly got all the colours based now and ready for detailing I was going to gs the shoulders but decided I really didn't have the time to invest in them for what I thought would be a small gain in appearance I hope it doesn't distract too much? when they're all mobb deep it shouldn't matter.

Frogman! that's the best way to describe him from now on! he does indeed have one flipper if you check the blurry parts, not very detailed but it's there.

yes I see the strap now well great minds think a like as for the arms if you get the time later add a few thin strips of GS then touch up with paint like his arms have been sewn back on
