The orange has not worked…
Despite two coats the Citadel Orange paint is not covering the brown undercoat at all well…
Not sure what to do now, I may have to go for a different colour entirely and my dream of an orange Ork Bommer is fading fast…

Ork Bommer
Trying to ensure that the panels look battered…
You find the previous history of my Ork Fighter Bommer on the workbench section of the main website.
One effect I wanted was to ensure that the fighter looked like it was cobbled together from bits and pieces and then painted orange. I also wanted to have some “new” pieces that looked like they were from captured Imperial vehicles.
However first I needed to do the edges, and these were painted roughly in black.
These will then be drybrushed with Boltgun Metal and Chainmail to give a rough knocked about a bit look. The panels will then be painted orange (though some will be painted Cadian green as though they were taken from destroyed Imperial tanks).
Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons – the painting process has begun…
When I was at GamesDay 2003, I managed to get my hands on the new ForgeWorld Epic Ork Gunwagons (which are the Epic versions of the FW 40K Gunwagons).
They are good value for money, just £5 for three, and there are four different types.
As I suspect with a lot of people, I did not paint them straight away and put them in a box to do later…
However now I have got them out and undercoated them.
They are very detailed models, though the exhausts are somewhat delicate and many of them were broken in transit.
