Cheetor's Orks: Kommando Kill Team 16/10/18

[cheetor]

Im still chasing Da Warboyz to Valhallork.

Even better, when I looked in a box of orks to see what might be well suited to this sort of project, I found a more or less perfect model looking back at me...



It was sent to me by a friend (Captain Crooks) and I had put it aside until the ork mood took me again.  So that worked out rather well.

The wiry nature of the GorkaMorka figures make then very well suited to this project.  If any of you reading this have any spare that you might want to trade then PM me please.  Im also looking for plastic GoMo boyz.

Anyway, this project is proving to be a lot of fun.  I have some more of these on the painting table.  I should have a few more over the next week or so.

The blog post for Doubletap and Fryota is here with some more photos etc for those interested.

Thanks for looking!

White is the new Green!

Very cool 

I must resist digging out my plastic pile of Orks...

Eternal Chrome!

This whole thread is filled with inspiration.

Awesome!  The grot with the guitar and horns just rocks!  Your colour choice puts a fresh face on those figures.  Love the contrast and the browns between transitions.

Perfect little figure! Looking forward to seeing more of the similar.

[Dr. The Viking]

You did it again! Marvellous!

These are top - the skin colours great. I like your choice of shading - it keeps the skin looking organic (instead of, say, a grey shade that I would have probably chosen). Really ace. I love the gorkamorka range, I just wish the posing had been better on some (I know they were sculpted to stand on the really narrow bases though). Top work.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.  Fury Road is a crowd pleaser

how did you do the skin?

Grey primer (car spray),
GW Celestra Grey all over the flesh,
GW Agrax Earthshade all over flesh,
Overbrush GW Celestra Grey all over flesh,
3:1 GW Lahmian Medium: GW Reikland Fleshshade all over flesh (to warm it a tiny bit and blend the scruffy overbrush a tiny bit),
Layer GW Ulthuan Grey
Edge highlight pure white (I used Army Painter White).

Thanks.  The brown element was the bit that was trickiest to manage.  In teh movie, the War Boys have pale human skin tones beneath the white powder/paint, that influences the colours of the recesses.  Onbviusly green orks should look different and bee greenish in the recesses.

I chose to ignore that and try to make them look like ork versions of the palette in the movie, if that makes sense.

See above re the skin colour decisions Jagannath.  I went too far in a warm brown direction on top of a blue grey base initially (it sounds so dense when I see it written down), but it worked out with the recipe shown above.

All excellent but that guitarist is 

[cheetor]

It's been a while, but enthusiasm for orks always comes back.

This time it's the first batch of an ork Kill Team that I'm working on.



And another shot of them in front of some ridiculous flora that makes the camo colour scheme look a lot less ridiculous, with some mates.

Very nice work.

I love those old Kommando sculpts and you have certainly done them justice.
 

As for that scene in the jungle.....
 

I cannot see the wood for the trees.
