I do not intend to actually play the tabletop games, but I geniunely enjoy painting and converting (none of the posted minis have anything converted in them, but I have some projects in progress that do involve a lot of that), hence the unrealistic dual-wielding nob. For me, it just has to look sort of cool, that's it Ideally, I would like to evolve into an above-tabletop standard painter some day. Therefore, any constructive or destructive criticism is much appreciated.

There we go!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936540.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936540.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936573.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936573.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936578.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936578.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork Keep it up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936585.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork

As far as I'm concerned, you're already above the average tabletop standard.

However, your lighting sucks. Try to get lighting similar to that first pic. Makes things nice and sexay.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936593.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936593.page GMT Re:Criticism sought - noobie Ork http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936614.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork
I think the warning strips are a tad over done. I like them on the feet and the iron gob, but I think the shoulders and hands are too much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936615.page GMT Re:Criticism sought - noobie Ork

Hmm... Now toss some checkers on that Mega Nob and he'll be a Stripes and Checkers Nob, and that would make him unstoppable!

Heh, sorry, I just really like the paintjob on it Looks great in my opinion ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936631.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936631.page GMT Re:Criticism sought - noobie Ork ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936655.page GMT Re:Criticism sought - noobie Ork ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936671.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork
Thanks for the props, and yes, I need to work on my lighting more

Does anyone think that the models need more highlighting/washing/drybrushing? Any tips for blending (I think the meganob's face is my best take at that technique so far, but I'm not really very happy with the results yet).

Also, the ridicolous pose of the biker nob is caused by the 'pursuit for coolness', simply because a 'uge axe is more cool than a dull hand on the handlebar ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/936700.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork

Actually, turns out you were right I guess

It's okay. You've got Metallica for your Avatar. I would've forgiven you if you were wrong. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/938944.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/938944.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork Q: Since you don't play, what do you do with the minis after you are done painted?

I sort of store them in an improvised display case, i.e. in a glass cabinet. My ultimate goal is creating two huge epic dioramas (one for 40k and one for fantasy), but realistically speaking, I don't see it happening in the next 3 to 4 years. For now, I'm just painting individual minis and enjoying it. I might start making something resembling duels or other type of interaction later.

what else are planning on painting next?

Right now, I'm painting a sort of heavily converted chaos terminator lord, an ork trukk and some ork boyz (I have about 7 or 8 of them left). Right after that I think I will be painting Badrukk and the two Ork Warbosses.

Well, orks doesn't seem to take care of their equipment, so maybe some chipped paint and battle damage would be perfect.

Good idea, thanks. I thought that the bullet holes that the model had from the outset are enough. They probably aren't. I probably will add some battle damage then.

I think I will make the lower legs a bit dirtier too, sort of what tanks usually get.

Thanks for the nice comments again! I will make sure I upload updates of these guys (if I make anything significant) and/or my new miniatures as soon as they're finished!

Don't get me wrong the armor looks awesome, but it needs more rust. it just looks a little too new to me.

also, you should play the miniature game, what's the fun of painting your forces if you don't get to see them in action?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/940830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/940830.page GMT Criticism sought - noobie Ork http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/944442.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254187/944442.page GMT
