Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, looks awesome, and very orky.

Update:

Tonight I will have to complete the first Killa Kan. Since that color theme works on the larger model I will work on the other two and knock them out of the way. One the body's of the Killa Kan's bodies are complete I will paint the arms. I will do all the arm at once. This will allow me to change arms if I decide to play a game or two

Update:

Two more l Killa Kans are currently underway. Once I complete the bodies and bases of the last two then I will freehand the puzzle piece on the designated ares that are currently in white prime.

I like how this army is coming out. I am surprised at th results so far. I was at first worried that the orange and blue theme would have been to bright and would put people off on the army. The colors did the opposite and make the army eye catching. Thank you color theory

just bought more Orks for the project...evil grin

looking brilliant.

Oh and oooooow more orks.

BTW I would like to offer too scratch build a model for your army, I would ship it to you unpainted. Would not cost you a penny, have a look at my stuff and see if you would like me to do you anything.

Understand if you don't.

Cheers

Yes, I painted my Night Scythe pilot with a good vibrant orange and everything else is in various shades of blue. It's amazing how these 2 colors mix so well together

Loving the Killa Kans so far, keep up the great paining!

I want to thank you for the offer and I would be honored to place a scratch build model from you, a of the members of the Dakka community

All i have to ask though, if your willing to build something, is that it follows the armies on parade guide lines because if the armies wins the competitions again I will be taking this army to Gamesday of 2014 in Memphis TN

What is the percentage GW stuff required for it to be legal. For example 80% GW model, to be legal or higher?

I can work to what ever you require, and would ask what you would like. A looted vehicle maybe, or anything you like, please just let me know.

PM me if you like.

The 80% sounds right.

I will get back to you on what may fit

Quick thought:

How is everybody enjoying the blog so far? Just wondering

Update:
Once the Killa kans are complete, i will have some 10 boyz to work on with a nob leading them.

So far loving it Like I said right at the start, I only discovered your work after you won the "Armies on Parade". Loving watching the step by step of this one and participating

Btw, how did it feel to paint the Killa-Kans after those Nobz? Got your batteries re-charged to tackle lots of Boyz?

Very much enjoying your blog, love your colour scheme.

Yep what is a ork army without Orks, Orks, and more Orks

Great Ideas for an army, love the idea of basing the colours around a charity!

I must check out your Sisters right now!

Can't wait to see more!

It feels good to change up a bit. The problem with blogging an army like the Orks is that it's not fun for people to watch me paint x-amount of Orks for x-amount of posts. I want the subscribers to see different things, plus things that they have not seen before. The wow factor is the fun part for me, that and hearing people's stories and opinions. That is how to create a connection with the community.

Thank you

Update:

No painting today guys, I have just returned from the Pa Renaissance Faire. It was a blast until I returned home and received an email that one of my eBay items was received damage. I sold my friends dwarf bloodbowl team and it seems that it was "not as described " models were chipped through the shipping. not a good thing to come home to.

Ok I got bored

You just can't leave them orks alone

How long does it take you to draw the Puzzle pieces? That looks like some insane work just to prepare the puzzle piece.

Finally, are the next orks going to be painted with a different chapter armor?

Keep up the great work!

(and a a very late "Happy Birthday!")

The drawings of the Puzzle pieces themselves are easy. I used a .35 mm Micron 03 Archival Ink pen to draw the initial lines to see where I will have to paint in between the lines. In painting the puzzle pieced I use a 0 Rosemary & Co Kolinsky Sable Series 22 brush to add 3 coats of the specific color to the model to have a pure base and use a 4/0 Rosemary & Co Pure Sable Series 92 brush to add the finest of highlights on the puzzle pieces.

I still want to change the color scheme to bring together the other chapters that the Orks used from the Armageddon campaign/ Waaagh! However, I am currently having a few problems pulling those ideas to the army. The Red for the Blood Angels will be easy. You see I painting using the color theory. There are specific colors that compliment another color. For Blue there is bright orange, one brings out the color without making it harsh to look at. The Red for the Blood Angels is complimenting the green of the Orks skin already, that means I will add a neutral color in spot such as grey to gap fill the areas between the armor and the skin. The problem that I fall into is paint the green of the Salamander Chapter. Green on Green is eye hurting and will not do, red is the complimenting the Blood Angels already so that will not work for what I want to do. I will figure something out if I must. It will be a little while for that.

I don't know who would get this one but here is to my old school Mario brothers people, Bullet bills

Update:

I should have the Killa kans completed by the end of the night. The arms just need some final highlighting and the puzzle pieces will need it's final coat and highlights.

Once they are complete I will start in the unit of 20 Orks. I will use three of the models to see how the other chapters paint schemes work.

I will need to find myself some Blood angels bitz and a few Salamanders things if those are out there.
