Squiggoth on the move with a bundle of Orks…
In a recent game I used my Ork Squiggoth something I haven’t used for a while. Well let’s just say he didn’t perform as well as he has in other games.
Here he is with some of my Orks and a pair of Killa Kans advancing on Simon’s Imperial Guard.
The Orks lost by the way…
My Orks on the offensive, moving across the battlefield.
As well as Ork Boyz, there are Killa Kans and a Squiggoth in support. Photograph from a recent game.
Ork Shoota Boyz from my collection advance on a Tyranid horde.
From a recent game (which I lost).
My Ork Skorcha and Wartrakk on the move in a recent game.
These are a group of Tankbustaz Boyz moving forward in column.
Though in this game there were no tanks, but there were lots of Tyranids!
These are my Ork Burna Boyz.
One of the problems of photographing your miniatures is that you see bits and pieces and details you missed whilst painting them, looks like these might need to go back onto the workbench.
Having used foundation paints for the basecoat of the Ork Rokkits I then painted them with normal citadel colour.
It seems to work as advertised, which is nice.
Picture from my most recent game…
Here is the end of turn one of my most recent game of Warhammer 40000.
My Orks were facing a bundle of Tyranids and Genestealers and nasty pieces of work they are too.
Despite some overwhelming firepower, the Orks eventually lost to the sheer nastiness of the assaulting ‘nids.
This is my Ork with Rokkit Launcha.
As you can see I have (again) used Citadel’s new Foundation Paints to paint the rokkits, they still need highlighting and other things done, but the red does cover the black undercoat quite easily.
This is one of my conversions, an Ork with a Big Shoota. The Ork has had his Shoota extended with barrel of another Shoota to make a Big Shoota.
I started off with a black undercoat and then do all the metallic bitz with a drybrush of tin bitz and chainmail. I then do all the Ork skin with a dark green, usually Snot Green.
I then highlighted with Goblin Green before doing final highlights with a mixture of Goblin Green and Bleached Bone.
Still some way to go…
