Da Orange Krush (Update 2/25) Waaagh gets weird!

[Friar]

absolutely beautiful, great job on them!

 

[QuietiManes]

Serious amount of cool factor. I\'m partial to blue/orange though. :drunk:

More more more...
*throws tantrum*

 

[Shadzar]

oh yeah, you gotta post indi pics in your gallery of these guys. the group picture in no way does them justice.

now that i have seen this thread i like the idea of them even more. like an army of Ben Grimm\'s.

\"It\'s clobberin\' time!\"

 

[freakinacage]

super-crazy old skool stuff there! very cool

So, Saturday my LGS had their Lucky 13 makeup event. This was a \"paint a member of your army\" event. The idea was to bring in a primed mini and \"finish\" it in order to get your stamp, signature thingy. Stupid me, I brought in the ork weirdboy. Big model. Very big model. I actually got alot done and it was \"close enough\" that I got my qualification. but here is that nights work (about two hours worth):

He is obviously still a WIP, and I hope to finish him either today or tomorrow.

wow

those bikes are kick ass

you got them on CMON yet because i want to voteeee!!!!

keep up the work

 

[uberdark]

two hours work?! dang man...i have slowede everything down since i got more serious. congrats man

 

[Thunderhawker]

Yep two hours. The red primer make all the difference in the world. I drybrush the skin and the metal, then layer the skin. It saves loads and loads of time in the long run.

 

[matt15595]

red primer?

where did you get that?

 

[Thunderhawker]

Home Depot. Its Rustoleum Painter\'s touch Red. Its almost a perfect match for GW\'s Dark Flesh.

 

[matt15595]

riiiiiiight

do they do other colours?

like ones close to Dark Angels green?

 

[Thunderhawker]

The closest I have found to a DA green is a charcoal grey, which is still rustoleum, but its auto primer (wet/dry sandable). Its what I used on the bikes themselves rather than the red.

Also, speaking of Bikes: Vote Linky
Give it some time to get approved as I just got it set up.

if you wanted to try you could check Walmart. they have/had a dark green spray in their ColorPlace line. also a Fire Red, and Red Oxide Primer...for about $1 @ 11 ounces.

waiting on bikes to become active to see those close-ups.... :drool:

 

[Thunderhawker]

No close ups, sorry. Same pic. I am too lazy.

well its a close-up compared to the group shot.

and now we can vote on them!

i wonder if now you will need to make some soda cans and palce them on the bases. \"They are orange from the amount of soft-drink they have consumed\".

i can see an orc now carrying a backpack that is full of orange soda, or the army mascot a Killa Soda Can.

They are from a fruit based agro world, not Waponi Wu. (cookie to the first one to get the reference)
And yes I suppose it is a close up relative to the big group shot.lol
