Started putting a force together for 40K as GW are the main games played at all the clubs around here.
Some folk have now got into the new Killteam so I thought I'd treat myself to the Octarius starter box that has Orks and Krieg (I had no idea neither).
The bubblegum green cartoon Orks didn't appeal so I'm modelling my boys on the rescue team from Predator.
Here's Major 'Dutch' (apologies for the not too cracking pictures), rest of the team to follow.

I like it, very gritty, reminds me of an artwork in a 2000 AD book, such as ABC Warriors. Cracking job and curious to see the others.

Love him :-*
Even a Predator would think twice before tangling with Ork`Ardnold
Very cool

That is one mean dude!
Great paint job.

Thank you for the positive comments fellas.
I've got a few more figures part painted but decided to multi task yesterday by painting up the terrain pieces whilst watching the rugby.
Very basic job: spray prime black, zenithal highlight in grey, paint a few panels per piece in watered down contrast paints, drybrush bronze, drybrush silver, drybrush sand (heavy at the bottom).
Got it all painted whilst New Zealand and England destroyed their opponents - by the time Wales and South Africa kicked off it was all done (less than 4 hours).

And the main ruins combine to make one large building:

Nicely painted, no offence to you, but you know for me personally the gw scenics remind me of kiddies play sets
-
love the 'predator' theme (arnold's brilliant), and great job on the scenery pieces.
-
Love the ork especially and nice work on the scenery!

Next Kommando up is Billy, painted early this morning as I couldn't sleep.
'There's something out there waiting for us...........and it ain't no Ork'.

L to R - Hawkins, Poncho, Mac and Glover (nod to Danny Glover, Predator 2).
Last four will be Blain, Dillon, Hopper ('Green Beret out of Fort Bragg') and Blades (for Ruben Blades - Predator 2) : Based, primed and ready to paint.
-
They're great, especially like the beefy gun on Poncho!
-
So the last 4 of the main team are complete, still thinking on how to paint the Grot and Squig to fit in with the overall colour scheme tbh.

Have a few Admech Skitarii Rangers painted from my abandoned 40K project and will be adding some second hand Vanguard to the mix for my next Kill Team.
Much simpler paint schemes and can speed paint a load on my next couple of days off.
-
So I started out looking at playing 40K Combat Patrol before deciding Kill Team would suit me better.
I'd already painted 5 Skitarii Rangers before putting the project on the backburner.
I got some second hand ones really cheap, along with some freebies and kitbashed Vanguards, so did a speed paint on them, including the plasterers scrimtape bases.
They'll do well for assorted enemies even if I never get Combat Patrol going.
The beady eyed may notice that a few of them are knights of some sort with Skitarii parts fitted - they go together well enough for me.
I have about a dozen left which may be getting some huge arms/claws fitted along with distinctly alien heads.

Very cool!
I love how you measure painting time by sport (rugby?).
I have to get my KT stuff finished. the terrain is a bit daunting by sheer volume but your method might offer an option for a good standard in a short timeframe.
-
Look good. It's nice to see some that aren't Martian red.

Yup, rugby matches is definitely the way to go with time measurement.
The method I used no way gives the sort of quality that you see with some peoples work, but I'm always happy that my miniatures can overshadow my terrain.
Look good. It's nice to see some that aren't Martian red.
Thank you.
Yesterday I saw some that were a mustard colour then heavily weathered with oils (very grimdark as they say) - they looked brilliant.

Quick paint for the Bomb Squig and Grot, trying to keep them understated to fit in with the overall Kommando aesthetic.

Squig didn't look quite right and I really couldn't put my finger on why.
Went to prime a few space dwarves this morning and noticed the Squig's lower jaw still on the painting table.
Fool.
