Now THAT's a mob!!

somewhat overdue, but here's how i paint meh bloodz....



Start with tamya clearred. pretty easy so far...



then apply it!



next step; add chaos black to the mix, it'll darken the paint, representing coagulation, gore and any number of other bitz.



In the end, looks pretty snazzy, without being too comic.

still in the fething post because of the Royal Snail.

Now for some photo's of what progress i've made.





I've got quite a few of the infantry done, but i ran out of skorched brown about 4 models into the batch paint, so i've completed them and now have to wait for wednesday to go into town and buy some more.. I'm also waiting on my dreadknights so i can loot the crap out of those to make my mega/mekadreads. Similarly i have about 3 dreads i'm waiting for, one classic, one second hand and one to be sacrifised to the mek for my heavy support.
C&C welcome on the list or the army, though i doubt there is any.

-skrall

Update; still no sign of my deffdread/dreadknights parcel, but one of the other two deff dreads arrived yesterday, i've since modified it to have new gunz!





C&C?

-skrall

I really like the fact that the hatch looks like a cap! LOL! I've got one of those that I think I'm going to convert into a killa kan as they're pretty much the same size. (Oh how the models have grown!)

Update time..... I've only got a few minutes before work, but this is what i've been working on between shifts since yesterday morning, and its my meka and mega-dread!





Both are still WIP, the mega-dread needs gs'ing and plasticarding to remove the last traces of GK'ness, as well as some extra detail, but overall i'm happy with that model. the meka-dread needs alot of work, since i need to scratch build a shunta and a KFF.

-skrall

Spectacular work skrall... wow!

great meka/megadreads and blood

LOVE IT!!!!!

thanks guys! glad you like it. Hopefully this'll be more... moreish.







Whats on them then? well, on the meka dread i've modelled on the mekz claws, added a custom built shunta and the kustom force field. the mega-dreads has extra armour added, thats about it.... i'm going to be some liquid gs at it'll be perfect to fix some of the gaps that have cropped up in my build.

-skrall

these mega and meka dreads are very impressive indeed

Incredible!! Just goes to show, even wiff all der new toyz, dem smurfy gits is nuffing but squish. Orks iz best!

Cool!

thanks for the comments guys! glad ya like 'em

So this is one of my few posts without progress, because i'm working wierd hours and on other projects, however i've been considering my orks future...

in a few weeks i have a apoc game.... and i've been considering making two new units.

The first is Ork Roks. i'm thinking of making ork drop pods effectivly. av 11/11/11, drop capacity 30, cost; 70 points. +5 points for each big shoota built in, with a max of three. immobile vehicle, with the ability to deliver d6 str 10 hits to anything beneath it. it if lands on a super heavy/monstro creature it rolls an additional d6 scatter from the nearest edge (i.e so you can't scatter onto of it again)

The second is a Boss dread and wyrd dread... my thoughts are, if a warboss is crazy enough he could convince his mek to make him a mega dread. i haven't worked out the specific details, other than he'd grant Waaaaagh to his fellow dreads.
the wierdboy dread however... is a neet idea i think. When it suffers perils of warp (at ld 10 since any ork strapped into a mechanical death machine will get alot more confident) or rolls a 1 on the powers table it suffers a glancing hit.

what do we think?

-skrall

That monster reeks of awesomeness! will be great to see it all painted up and ready for killing! mwuahaha!

Most things (okay, Drop Pod and Stormraven?) that drop from orbit seem to be at least AV12 and I think you could argue up to AV14 for it. If they came in different sizes, perhaps AV12 for 12, AV13 for 20 and AV14 for 30. Thing is - holding thirty, it would be huge! If AV14 seems a bit much for Orks, it could always count as destroyed at the end of the battle for VP purposes.

Equip it with the equivalent of a Deffrolla (that gives your D6 S10 hits) and I would be inclined to treat its deep strike like a Tank Shock/Ram - inflicting a single S10 hit on anything it hits, as well as itself - even if it only hits the ground. As per the counts-as Deffrolla, you would get 2D6 S10 hits if the target chose to Death or Glory

No idea on what would be appropriate points costing for that though!

Just random thoughts - take from it what you will (or don't)

Hm... what if it counts as destroyed (for VP) but difficult terrain for the opponent, and terrain for you? So it lands and becomes a hill/cave/what have you terrain piece... with gun emplacements.

Also, what about a one shot heavy flamer instead of landing gear. My thinking here is a mek wanted more of da boyz to survive being dropped from space (without wasting all those grots as cushions) so he installs a well 'uge explosive fiery whatsit on the bottom of da rok. So when it's about to land the explosion goes of underneath and slows it down a bit, could have some fun misfire results too. Maybe a demo charge instead of a tankshokk.

+1 to this terrain idea, like a falling bastion for the orks, and i reckon that armour 12 all around would be fair as well


Automatically Appended Next Post:
oh and i think the warboss dread is a lot more feasable then the warp head one. just because i would think it would be more likly of a warboss to have the teeth to get a mega dread made and actually want to be in it, where as warpboyz are in fluff kinda strange. but yea either would be very very cool

ok guys, although this project is on hold for another couple of months, maybe a year, i am giving one update...

in order to fund my iron warrior project, i'm selling off the glowing stompa. the ebay link is

Here!

more pictures are in this log, though the 3 on the site should provide the current status of the stompa.

thank for viewing!

Two years since i last touched my ork hordes they are coming out of the box!


How my barricades started last night;



My force as it stands, with the warboss and the currently wazdakka free bike of the aporkalypse, as well as 18 pirate bikers


and the nearly finished barricades



The photo's are a bit dark i know, but once i get the full set finished i'll get some proper photo's done of them. C&C welcome if you can make enough out. Hopefully i'll finish them tomorrow and have the Evil Moons/Bad Suns logo done. I hope...

-skrall

Finish model time! the Forkifications for my aegis line are painted;







Oi!Oi!Oi!

C&C welcomed,

-skrall

WAAAAAAGH!

now thats out of the way, i have some major progress to report. I've eh... finished my first ork warboss on a bike.







And last but not least, the name of my warboss is beneath the banner... Cookies for whoever figures it out.



C&C welcomed, also while your at it why not like my facebook hobby page. Nerd By Design

P.s. because i've had no feedback between postings, and to avoid that lovely auto-stupidity here's a lovely ork freebooter symbol i found.

Right, i don't usually like posting WIP's so early on, but i want to keep this guys development and detailing to myself until he's ready. Sadly, now i've used an £8 ebay carnifex for the base i'm having a hard time not wanting to show this.




Heroic doesn't cover it. The master of dramatic timing is coming...

-skrall

All just insanely good stuff. If my Dread Knight wasn't already half painted....

This ork stuff is amazing! Great terrain and minis!

Thanks mate, oh don't worry i have plans to build another yet. I sold the last two for decent cashie money.

thanks mate, i keep hacking away at it until i finish an army i am proud of.

Update from me, wazdakka is now in a state to be shown off, note i am working several details and will in the long run replace his head with a better choice. For now, it's all i've got that's to scale.





the pictures aren't fantastic, but here's the next unit base coated and ready for a lick of paint.



-skrall

Ok before i post what i've managed to paint in the last few days, after 7 year's i've finally got rid of photobucket. The relentless un-mutable ads (which i then got ad-block for), insistance on making me like images to there website, and general crappyness have pushed me to far. I liked the service as was, i'm happy to be advertised to in return for a good service, but i'm not a product who'll sit there because he has no options. Btw, some more stuff is coming, i'm currently putting together the first deff kopta squad.

I've spent the past 3 days mostly building my army, and testing it out on monday. Tabled grey knights, 11vps to 1vp. The army, it turns out, is damned impressive.

So say hello to my imgur debut.What i've been painting this week;



Detail's i've been working on;




-skrall

Wow, you came back with a vengeance! Way to go! The new gear is looking great. Wazzdakka is epic.


… have you gotten any paint on those mega dred?

I actually sold the first two when i needed to fund my iron warrior project... but new ones are coming. i can't say much more yet, just...



Coming December 2013....

-Skrall

Nothing on the idea of the grox populi? i'm suprised, but then my orks never do attract much attention. Ah well, i've pushed on as always;








Batch painting like a beast at the minute, i want to have the 22 model grot unit, the 3 deff kopta's and the forkifation finished for a game on monday. At the next update they should look a little less tabletop quality and more in line with the warboss.
