I have been painting my Epic Ork Skorchaz for my Ork Airfield Defence Force.
The black painted sections have now been drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
I then painted the basecoat, using different colours of orange and brown for each vehicle.
The next stage is to give them an ink/paint wash.
I will then need to drybrush and add more detail and paint the krew.
Having finished two others, I am now working on two more Epic Bowelburnaz.
They have been converted using turrets from Ork Battlefortresses.
This is a Forgeworld Looted Rhino from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
This is the actual conversion kit/model. The picture I posted previously was just a conversion using some Forgeworld parts and roller.
I already have a workbench feature on my Grot Bomb Launcha however I did get another model of one at GamesDay 2005.
This one I am aiming to do differently with as my previous one a converted driver, this one though I want to do a different track unit and extra gubbinz and baggage on top.
The driver uses the Deth Kopta pilot.
This is how far I have got with my Forgeworld Ork Bommer. Still some way to go…
I have blacklined the creases, drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal. I am now painting the panels with Vomit Brown. It will then be given an ink/paint wash, drybrushed and highlighted.
These are my two Ork Killa Kans.
I still want to add some more detailing to them, but I have recently added some red to the Rokkits.
This is a Forgeworld Squiggoth from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
This is the big version, I like the smaller version (which I have) but not sure about the bigger brother.
This is a Forgeworld Looted Rhino with additional roller from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
I quite like the Looted Rhino, but I think it is quite expensive, even for Forgeworld prices.
This is the Forgeworld Armoured Ork Gunwagon from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
I use to not like this model, the fact it was based on that awful plastic four wheeled Ork Battlewagon (from GW a few years back) was probably the reason.
However I think because I got some of the Epic Ork Gunwagons I have grown to like it. I did try and buy the basic Gunwagon at GamesDay, but they had none in stock.
This is the Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
What I find quite revealing about the model (and it is a display model) is that this is a conversion, the Wartrakk’s tracks have been replaced by wheels and the driver has had its top half replaced by an Ork Boyz model. These extra parts are not included in the Forgeworld kit, but I would have thought a display model should be as you get it and not with added bitz…
