Love the classic colours and very much looking forward to seeing dat gargant. Smash! Stomp!
Thanks so much! I'm trying to use the striking colors of old but also adding a few new elements (like battle damage) 
AustonT wrote:Your color selection and models are on point. I’m really digging the feel you are going for. This is all contrast paint you say?
Thanks a lot! Lovely to hear appreciation! But for the battle wagon (which is airbrushed) this is all contrast paints and then highlighted by mixing contrasts with white paint (not the contrast). Contrasts + highlights does wonders!
That's because they'll soon be yellow like a brick road

Delicious work on the yellerun!
And that mass of gretchin *chefs kiss*
Is there anything more nineties orks than bright colourschemes, overly characterfull characters and a ludicrous amounts of that same gretchin with shotgun mini..?
The answer is no, of course.
Your painting does this justice too, it's delightful to see. #Second ed till I die!

Thanks so much!! And yeah, the Gargant has been an on-and-off project for about three years now
But getting close to done now! Just need to paint the pilot, some glow effects and some final highlights here and there!

Thanks so much! Yeah I love that look, may have to go over all my retro orks and battle damage them up a bit. Even if it takes away a bit of the "happy 90s" feels I do think it looks great

My next project is a Nazdreg, but in the size of the new modern Ghazkhull (so I can play it in 10th edition as well) and the model is basically a copy of the original John Blanche Rogue Trader artwork. I love this so much I want to cry!
Sorry for the poor image quality, I'll get some better ones when I've started painting it.

Currently 40k is in the backseat though as Warmachine WTC is coming closer and I have tons of Brineblood Marauders to paint

That Gargant is absolutely amazing the new Nazdreg looks cool but the old one is one I'm really fond off as it was released in the first WDI got my hands on one of my mates double copies. He also still stands up as an excellent model and you've done anexceptional job on him..

Oh my, what a lovelly army and a great Nazdreg.
I'm not a great great fan of the 2nd ed orks but I appreciate the dedicaion you put into this. The authenthic feel of the colour scheme is incredible. And that collection seems like a living part of this hobby's history.
Keep on the amazing work, it is a true pleasure to the eye!
