I am currently painting a few of my older Imperial Guard miniatures.
This Hellhound was undercoated white, before being given a green base coat and other details added with Bestial Brown and Camo Green.

Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons
I have painted another couple of my Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons.
I am not too sure about these. Checks are something I have not tried before. The gunner is from a metal Ork buggy.

The beauty of Orks is that there is no need for consistency and sometimes a mistake turns out really well.
I painted one of the Gunwagons in Bleached Bone, expecting the dark wash to add a nice touch, however it contained too much Chestnut ink so it looked awful wet. However when it dried it just looked great, really rusty.
It’s the one on the left…
Forgeworld Epic Squiggoth
With a future model I may paint the armour panels in a similar style to my Junkatrukks but with this model I am going down the dirty rusty armour style.
The black painted armour was drybrushed with Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
Next stage is to do the skin of the Squiggoth.
Epic Ork Bommerz
With a final drybrush to tone down the wash and accentuate the detail…
I have finished my Forgeworld Epic Ork Bommerz.
I did think about adding some more detail and glyphs, but thought at this small scale it may not work well, and I was pleased with the models as is. I have some metal conversions hanging around which I may try some yellow flames on.
I probably will get some more of these models.
Forgeworld Epic Ork Battlewagon
This is a picture of the Forgeworld Epic Ork Battlewagon.
I took the photo at GamesDay 2004 it was in the FW cabinet.
Feral Ork Heavy Bomber for Epic Armageddon
I got round to sticking the wings on my Terradon which is the basis for a Feral Ork Heavy Bomber for Epic Armageddon.
However I initially stuck them on the wrong way round and it looked weird, so before the glue had a chance to dry I got them in the right way.
This model is not the most recent version, it is the one before. It is not a perfect casting with a quite a few gaps which will need filling with green stuff. It also doesn’t fit the flying base, so more filling there as well.
I still need to think about the howdah and the bombs.
Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons
Here are some pictures of some finished Ork Gunwagons.

The Gunwagons mixed in with other Ork vehicles.
I am hoping to have more finished soon.
Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons
I wanted to use a desert theme for my new Ork armies, which would mean that all the vehicles would be painted in different shades of dark orange and brown but still have an element of consistency amongst the units in the army. Having said that I will also be painting some in shades of green as well, though the brown wash will help blend them in.
Having painted and drybrushed the metal parts of the Gunwagons, the next stage was to paint the base coat. With the two models shown one was painted Desert Yellow and the other Bestial Brown..
The next stage was to give them a wash of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown and water.
This was then followed by a drybrush of the basecoat to tone down the wash and highlight the detail.
Here are some more pictures of the finished Gunwagons so far.
The bases were Warmaster bases and were covered in GW’s sand mix, before painting Bestial Brown and drybrushing with Bleached Bone.
Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons
Here are some photographs of my Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons.
After undercoating them white I undercoated the underneath black.
I then finished the metal parts in black.
These were then drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
These are very nice models even if the exhausts break off really easily.
