Warmaster Nice’s Epic Feral Ork Airship

This is Warmaster Nice’s (from the epic40k.co.uk forums) fantastic Epic scale Feral Ork Airship.

Epic Feral Ork Airship

Based on the Forgeworld Warmaster Dwarf Airship he has done a fantastic conversion and paintjob.

EDIT: Though it looks like it was converted from a Forgeworld Airship, according to Warmaster Nice though inspired by the said airship was in fact scratch-built, which is amazing, he has done a fantastic modelling and paintjob.

Ork Skorcha

My Skorcha is nearing the end of its journey.

This shot shows the model after painting the entire bodywork in Vomit Brown.

The next stage was to give it a wash of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown and water.

This accents the detail and I will then drybrush with Vomit Brown.

The driver is nearly done and the Grot Rigger is now finished.

Still quite a bit to do, but it is looking good.

Arc Light

Arc LightA nuclear war and then the action really starts…

I am currently reading Arc Light by Eric L Harry.

In the late 1990’s, locked in an escalating conflict with China, Russia is forced to take up nuclear arms. Unfortunately a critical mistake is made as a Russian general seizes the code cases and warheads rain down on the United States.

I have read this book quite a few times and it is still a good read and recommended.

Epic Ork Bommerz

Made quite a bit of progress on these lovely models… Well after doing the metal parts I have spent a bit of time on my Forgeworld Ork Bommerz.

The first thing I did was to do the bases, which starts of as a simple flying base, I stuck a small rock and GW’s sand mix, before painting Bestial Brown and drybrushing with Bleached Bone.

I wanted to go for the orange/brown look of the FW 40K model.

Though I don’t think I will go for the checks or the flame effects which I think wouldn’t work in this scale (painted by me they wouldn’t).

I first painted the underneath in Vomit Brown.

This meant that I could avoid getting paint on the black metal work.

After painting the complete model in Vomit Brown, I painted the bomb loads in Bestial Brown after thinking that black would be too harsh. I then gave the model a wash. In the following picture the washed model is still wet!

Once the model was completely painted in Vomit Brown I then washed the model with a wash of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown and water.

As you can see one model is darker than the other, but I don’t think Orks are that uniform.

I still need to do add some more detailing.

The detail on these models is amazing.
