I have started to paint the bodywork of my Ork Stompa.
I am going for a predominantly red colour scheme, but I am using various shades of red and some brown for the effect. I am aiming to have something in the end which will be similar to the GW paintjob as I showed in my previous blog post.
See the workbench feature on the Ork Stompa.
Looking through the Nuts Design Notes I did notice these pictures.
Hmmm…
The Jagdtiger (“Hunting Tiger”) was the common name of a German tank destroyer of World War II. The official German designation was Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd. Kfz. 186. It saw service in small numbers from late 1944 to the end of the war on both the Western and Eastern Front. The Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle operationally used during World War II. Due to an excessive weight the Jagdtiger was continuously plagued with mechanical problems.
Maybe I shouldn’t…
This is one of the new very nice plastic building kits for Warhammer Fantasy Battle. In the “A4” sized box you get two sprues with all the parts and extras on them. Having constructed the model, I gave it a black undercoat. The roof was given a basecoat of scorched brown.
The weapons of my Ork Stompa were undercoated black and then drybrushed with Boltgun Metal and then drybrushed again with Mithril Silver.
I will pick out a few details using a variety of red coloured paints.
I am then going to give the parts a wash with black and brown inks.
Falaise House, mine has arrived. That’s three (well four) houses I have now. Nearly a village…

I am really looking forward to the new film. It’s now going to be in three parts and released over three years.
Having not really done much with my Ork Stompa for a long time… I have recently started to get going again with painting it.
Here are the feet of the Stompa.
As they will be mainly hidden by the large body of the Stompa, I am going to leave them mainly black.

Well as I said something similar…
In the process of sorting some old gaming stuff out I found a bundle of old SDD models. These are 15mm metal castings that I bought back in the 1990s. It makes me think that the other metal models that I have been painting are also SDD.
This box was mainly late war stuff and included a King Tiger. The model consists of four parts: a pair of tracks, the hull and a turret. This is a very nice clean casting, but is quite a heavy model as a result.
It went together very easily, but doesn’t quite sit flat.
Certainly not as detailed as the Flames of War model, the next stage will be a white undercoat.
The UK Games Day Slayer Sword winner 2012 – Karol Rudyk’s Vampire Counts Zombie Dragon.
A really superb model and very different to previous winners.
