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.

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.
Ork Shoota Boyz
This shot shows a work in progress of one of my Ork Boyz.
They are painted quite quickly in one respect, but I am still trying to get a good paint job on them.
I start 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, highlight with Goblin Green before doing final highlights with a mixture of Goblin Green and Bleached Bone.
The orks’ teeth are first done in Bleached Bone before final highlights of Skull White.
Uniforms (and I say that in the broadest possible sense with orks) are usually Codex Grey with highlights in a lighter grey.
Bases to fit in with the snow based theme and Cityfight games are done in Codex Grey before drybrushing with Skull White.
Here is a shot of some finished Boyz.
Grot Cutta
I have added some brown to the ropes which will eventually hold the sail. They will have a lighter highlight.
I like the detail on this model and it’s a pity you can’t get them anymore (easily).
I am still considering what I should make the sail out of. Any ideas welcome.
Squiggoth wanders through a pre-industrial village
This is an overhead photograph from a recent game.
The Squiggoth is a large creature especially when you compare it to the abandoned Trukk.
You can also see some Killa Kans and a Grot Cutta.
Imperial Guard Medusa
Imperial Guard Medusa from a recent game…
This Imperial Guard Medusa from Simon’s collection is quite a hefty opponent.
Imperial Guard Stormtroopers
Here is a photograph from my most recent game (today).
These are Simon’s Imperial Guard Stormtroopers about to try and take back a pre-tech village from a bunch of Orks (mine).
As you can see the models are not run of the mill Stormtroopers but are based on Space Marine Scouts.
The Squiggoth in the distance eventually charged them and lost in the second round of combat.
The buildings are from Steve Barber Models.
Wartrakk Gunner
Wartrakk Gunner for a Trukk or Squiggoth…
If you get an Ork Skorcha or Grot Bomb Launcha, you also get as a result a spare Gunner.
This is one I am in the process of painting up.
I am going to use it on either a Trukk or my Squiggoth.
It is a pity that the rules/codex don’t allow you to use more twin-linked Big Shootas.
Aquila Lander
The new boxed set of Warhammer 40000 has some plastic scenery of a crashed Imperial Flyer.
Forgeworld have realised a resin version of the “complete” un-crashed flyer.
This is a picture of a completed model taken at UK GamesDay 2004.
It looks okay from this angle, but personally I am not a fan of it.
Other picture I took can be found here.
