Ork WIP...



I finished off the Nob on the weekend (the one at the front with Power Klaw and Pistol) - he came up well and fits in with the rest (although looking at the pic none of the base are the same shade).  I went back over the other lads and added the 'worn' red armour which was achieved by dabbing - that's the technical term - a Mechrite Red/Scorched Brown mix over most of the armour, and then successively smaller layers of Mechrite Red and then Blood Red to achieve a worn from the inside out look - with the bare edges etc staying dirty metal (ie Boltgun over Tin Bitz with a Devlan wash) or alternatively a Chain Mail edge highlight.  Simple but effective and quick to do and it unifies the whole mob.

And these are my current WIP - the 4 Black Reach Boyz, and a couple of Gretchin.  They are getting exactly the same treatment.  The next step is to tidy of the metallics and then move onto skin and details (clothing, teeth etc).


Lots of fun and a nice mixed pallette of colours.  I only have a small collection of Orks so if I can knock a couple of these guys out in a week I should get the whole lot done in a little bit.  The biggest models are the Black Reach Death Kopters which I am leaving until last.

And that's it - quick and easy like.

Happy hobby all.

Cheers,

Pom
