Rogue Trader nostalgia.

Absolutely wonderful, I'm just going to ask for more.

[Earther]

Was any more work ever done on this project?

Are we going to get more tales of derring do on Rynn's World?

You're actually making me sad... You've managed to capture somthing some completely- so perfectly...

Hi,
The only thing that I've done since is three more orks.
I do have a lot more planned, I've had another group of 6 half painted orks sitting on my desk taunting me since early November, but I'm struggling with time and motivation; when I have the time, I can't be bothered, and when I get the urge, I've never got time

There's definately more to come at some point, including the battle of Jadeberry hill

You're actually making me sad... You've managed to capture somthing some completely- so perfectly...

Thanks for that.

Finally got those orks off my desk and feel a lot better for it.

The colourful ones are the latest batch, the dull ones are the previous batch that have already been varnished.

[Elbows]

Masterful paintwork.  Really awesome looking stuff.

[Radu Lykan]

Fantastic stuff, brings to mind my childhood, looking forward to the next instalment

[Sgt. Scream]

Awesome! Love 'em ! 

[Ray Earle]

You can't stop now!! 

I really want to see you painting an Imperial army dreadnought! 

[Suber]

Huge bravo to you!!!

[Andrew May]

Hey, I've been away from the forum for shops while but on my return I spotted this thread...I'm about to embark on a very similar project, thanks for the inspiration! This all looks fantastic. 

[Andym]

Cracking!

I've never seen Orks painted grey before, but that REALLY works.

[OSHIROmodels]

I really like both of them, although I do admit they look rather different to each other.

Even though they are varnished, could you not use some very thin green and yellow ink glazes to help "colour in" the grey ones a bit more? You can still re-varnish them again afterwards, and that would help them blend in with the new ones rather more.

And, I will also say this: I know the bright green Orks are a bit of a GW cliché, but given that the their weapons and equipment are supposed to be made from scavenged scrap, I actually quite like the brighter contrast of the skin against it more than the other way around (i.e., dull skintone but brighter/more gaudy armour and equipment).

Ultimately though, they are well painted and done (which is far more important!)... So, er, well done I guess!

@Major_Gilbear

Thanks for the feedback. I think what'll happen in the end is that the new bunch will gett dulled down when they get varnished. I've tried to purposely up the contrast and make them more colourful as away to compensate for this. So kinda accepting the dulling effect of the varnish and trying to incorporate it into my painting style if you will.

However, I was going to varnish this morning but discovered to my surprise that my compressor blew a small hole in the storage tank just as it got up to full whack. Scared the shit outta me and shot rusty water all over the floor.
I guess it's rusted through on the inside of the tank, I have had it about 6 years and it was a cheap one, so I'm not complaining. Still whacked some green stuff in the hole and covered it with duct tape. I'll give it another go tomorrow and if it doesn't hold I'll have to get another one.

In the mean time some more orkyness.



First up we have Spanna, the gretchin and ol' Dok Feelgood.

Spanna reluctantly became the group's Mek, after IrnJock, the former mek boy dissaperared while enthusiastically demonstrating his new 'Teleporta'. Truth be known it was always Spanna who fixed most stuff anyways, IrnJock was always too busy with his 'theorik finkin'

Dok's just your average fun lovin' painboy, likes nothin better than gettin out Rusty, his favourite bone saw and doin' a bit of 'amputatin'. Wierd thing about this partiular sculpt is the dead snotling the good Doctor seems to have strapped to his back.



A couple of wannabe boss orks.



more 'plazmah powah'



'Zog Sharp Eye' and 'Da Killah'



Group shot of the latest additions still waiting to be varnished.

Just a group of 8 'Powah Arma' shock troops and Warboss 'Narg ear Bitta' to go, then I'm finally free of space orks
