Looking good so far, glad to be here for round 2.

Nice looking stuff here...

My youngest daughter (now 7) is autistic, so I'm certainly happy that you've chosen to support the cause you did too!

Looking forward to more!

Great work! I love the idea behind the army, keep up the good work!

Good to see you doing another army for a good cause. As with the BC Sisters, if there is anything I can help with, I will. Not sure I will have a spare obscure chair again, but never know.

Good evening DakkaDakka,

I had a late start today to paint. I mainly added the bases colors on the nobs on the shirts, pants, boots, and leather straps.

I have come to the decision that I will not add the blood splatter and gore to the army. The army has a specific scheme which will be paled if I add the blood.

I did not expect the surge of the support for this project as I have seen so far. I want to thank those who has opened up their lives to this blog with their personal experience and stories regarding those who have Autism.

I hope that this blog will be enjoyable and informative to those who read it. I feel even more obligated to ensure the success of this armies for competition that it enters, the meaning of the good cause, and the people that are supporting it.

Please remember that this blog it open to all. Just remember there always more to come

Good evening DakkaDakka

Sorry for the delay in work. Had a personal issue to handle. My Grandfather (mother's step father) passed away on July 6 at 81 years old. Viewing was last evening for 7-9pm and funeral was this morning. Right after the funeral I had a doctors appointment, so a busy two days you can say. ( not surprised I have high blood pressure... Hmmm wonder why lol)

I did a little work on one of the models as you can see. I added the armor base colors ( ultramarine blue) and the wash of blue. This is to set the areas of where my highlights will be. I also added then first base color to the metal, I use tin to start the dirty rust effect I want for the Orks.

I will have more for tomorrow night.

Update: nob pictures will be up tonight

Looking really good man, the contrasts being so vivid works surprisingly well even before you consider why you have chosen to paint them like this. Keep up the good work!

Evening DakkaDakka,

This weekend I was pretty busy yet I was able to Squeeze out two more of the Nobs. The is one more that will need the battle damage and flock on it to make it complete. I will complete one more Nob with boss pole to after to finish off the five man unit of nobs.... What a unit of five nobs!?!... Am I crazy!!! This is not the end if this unit as a whole I just have to cut what I have in half to fit what I need on to the battle board. The Nob unit is the command squad they will be accompanying Thraka. I have. Battle wagon that will be the command vehicle but thinking of the fun stuff that I can do with Orks, I am thinking of the first conversion idea.

What do you all think of the project so far? Comments? Questions?

PS does anyone have any space marines transfer sheets by chance? I'm throw my out accidentally..

Looking amazingly good dude,

The colour scheme really fits orks perfectly too.

What is your time scale again, I could dig out SM sheets, but delivery time may be a factor.

Good evening DakkaDakka

This evening I have completed Nob 4 which means one more left for the unit. I chose the black reach nob champion for the final member. Them model is cool looking with the eye patch and the big axe. One he is complete it will start on unit 2 which will either be a regular ork core unit or a loota unit. Who doesn't like big guns.

I will have to let people know that I had a mad scientist moment today on the conversion that will be the center piece on the army. This time it will be painted and Ample room will be make for it to fit on to the battle board at the end of this protect.


Oh I think I am going to have fun with this one...mayahahahahahah.... Cough.....sorry

Quick thought:

I have to finish the last Nob tonight, what unit or model should I do next?

Good evening DakkaDakka

I just finished the unit of nobs only a few minutes ago. I wanted to point out something before people comment. You will notice that the boss nob's boss pole is not paint, that is for a reason. I will be cutting that off to add a puzzle piece that will be the units symbol and theme for the army.

I have a lot of units to complete and wondering what you guys, the subscribers are to see painting next? This is an interactive blog so I hope to here for you all.

Is it sad to say that some of these Orks look like people I know....just saying

Looking amazing.

Half the time its like looking in a mirror for me painting orks.

Ok well, I would try and break up the monotany with orks, soo many boys, I would paint something clanky next, maybe the kans or the dreads, then back at some boys and alternate it. At least thats how I work through a project like this.

Everything looks great so far and I'm curious to see how that puzzle piece is gonna look.

Next, I'd say a Killa Kan. I'm also curious to see how it's gonna be painted to fit the theme

I am curious as well lol

I believe both of you maybe correct in something clunky and a single Killa Kan maybe a good test model to test the theme on.

I have been toying with some ideas like painting each plate in the puzzles peice colors. Paint them all orange and the extension plates blue, shoulders in the puzzle pattern. Or reverse the colors by painting all blue and the orange...etc...etc. I will do what I do best and wing it if I have too... The Orkish way lol

Awesome paint scheme and an awesome charity, dude !

Yeah............I do love that orange. What is that?

Killa Kan

Only your idea is heroic good sir! I've never seen nor heard of people painting an army to send out information and help others!

And it doesn't diminish by the fact that you're a great painter! I will follow this closely :-)

I wonder if there one day will be someone that makes an army for awareness for breast cancer... Pink orcs. Or necrons. That would be something to see

@ danesk. Last year he did a SOB for Breast Cancer, Looked amazing. You should check it out.

Update:

I was not able to work on the model today. My friend, who was a ex GW, employee, plans to move to Canada. I was at his place all this morning. I plans to liquidate all of his GW armies, an Death Korp lot, massive amount of LOTR models for war of the rings, and blood bowl..ugh soo much to do. I will have to put it on eBay for him, he needs that money.


I will of picture of the killa can up tomorrow. I will be working on the metals and blues, and will pick out which arms the model will be rocking on the list.

Update: I think that. Launcher and flamer may do for the Killa Kan arms
