I normally flock my bases prior to undercoating and paint and drybrush them.
In this instance I am using GW sand which is nice and fine and has little “rocks” in it as well.

Grotz
Here are two Grotz.
They are based and I have used Green Stuff (some that is rather old) to fill in the gaps.
Deth Kopta, nearly finished to gaming standard…
This is quite a simple model to paint.
Starts off with a black undercoat, drybrush of Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
The rotor blades are painted with Bleached Bone and will be getting a highlight of Skull White.
At this point I am happy for it to be used in a game.
Final details will be adding some copper and bronze to various components, painting the dials and seat, as well as giving the machine some glyphs and details on the tail.
I really like this model, I now have a squadron of three and may get some more in the future, maybe to convert into a heavy version.
Ork Airfield Defence Force* airfield vehicles
Here are a couple of the Ork Airfield Defence Force airfield vehicles.
The role of these vehicles is to support the function of the Flyboyz, but they are armed with light weapons and/or AAA weapons.
One of the models is armed with a flak weapon from a Flakwagon. The other is towing a Big Gunz trailer with two bombs (lifted from a FW Ork Bomma).
I am using the same basing structure as my Feral Orks to allow the models to be used with either army.
* I know a more Orkish name would be more in keeping with the fluff…
Orks with Twin Big Shootas
Orks with Twin Big Shootas Forgeworld weapon systems… Undercoated in black.
Since this picture was taken I have painted the skin tones and the main weapon.
Junkatrukks
Here are two Junkatrukks that I have finished for my Feral Ork Army.
I know they could do with some detailing and maybe the odd glyph or two…
The models were painted orange and light brown and then given an ink wash.
Before I would use a plain ink wash, but after reading an article on Dropship, I added some Vomit Brown to the ink and water mix and as a result the finished models are not as glossy as when I have used an ink wash.
Also you may notice for my Feral Orks that I (for once) am following fashion and I am basing my vehicles…
Epic Ork Landa
I have undercoated my Ork Landa.
It is a really nice model, and it would be nice if Forgeworld made a 40K version.
Junkatrukks
I have made little progress with my Junkatrukks.
As you can see, since I last mentioned them, I have only managed to drybrush the metal parts.
I have since these pictures were taken experimented with an orange colour, but I am not sure at the moment, so I am only painting one to see how it comes out.
Deth Kopta Pilots
Here are two Deth Kopta pilots in the process of being painted.
They utilise parts from the original pilot and the plastic Ork Boyz sprue.
One difference with these then when I made the original model was that I stuck the flying handle to the model rather than try and assemble the whole thing when everything is painted.
Imperial Guard Dropship
More pictures of the fantastic Imperial Guard Dropship from the UK GamesDay 2004… Following on from the EDT rumours which broke my website (bandwidth issues) there was a lot of interest in the large Imperial Guard (or Inquisition) Dropship which was used in one of the display games.
As you can see it is huge.
It was made from lots of Forgeworld models and other bits.
As you can see a lot of attention was given to detail.
Excellent effort.
