Ork Stormboyz Nob

One of my Ork units I do like are my Stormboyz (even despite Simon calling them the Lipstick Boyz) however they are leaderless, until now!

Games Workshop do produce a Stormboyz Nob, however it is only available by mail order and not from their shops. So when I was up in Nottingham I did get the Stormboyz Nob when I visited Warhammer World. It is a nice model and will certainly give my Stormboyz mob a bit more punch.

Now I just need to start painting him to match my Stormboyz mob.

Ork Kannon

One of the things I like in the Forge World range are the Ork Heavy Weapons, not just the new ones, but the older ones as well. I ordered an Ork Kannon some time ago and it had been hanging around for a while, so I decided to stick it together. It goes together really easily.

I then gave the model a black undercoat.

Once finished I will be able to use it any of my Ork vehicles or a Squiggoth

Old West Outlaws

I was lucky enough to get for one Christmas a few years back two packs of Foundry Old West Outlaws (thank you Simon).

Here are three more of the Outlaws based and undercoated with a white undercoat.

Have a look at my Old West miniatures Gallery.

Grey Knights Jetbike

The greatest threat to the Imperium of Man is, and has always been, the followers of Chaos and the foul daemons of the Warp. The Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus, the Daemonhunters, are at war with forces too terrible to comprehend and, together with the holy warriors of the Grey Knights, they must take the light of the Emperor into the darkness. The threat of the daemonic is so great that only these heroic warriors have the necessary skills and knowledge to stand against such diabolical foes.

When the Dark Angels were released I really liked the Master of the Ravenwing on the “last” remaining Imperial Jetbike.

Master Sammael of the Ravenwing is a true Angel of Death. From the saddle of his jetbike he cuts down any foolish enough to stand in his path with the infamous Raven Sword, its blade cut from the same meteorite as the Sword of Secrets. A highly accomplished hunter of The Fallen, Sammael is rightly honoured by his brethren and he is feared by his foes as few other holders of his rank have ever been.

So much so I knew I had to get one for my Grey Knights army, possibly maybe more than one! If anyone other than the Master of the Ravenwing was going to have arcane technology it would be the Grey Knights!

This is as far as I have got putting the jetbike together.

Undercoating the Ork Trukk

My Ork Trukk was undercoated, in the main black but with some components in white.

This is how the undercoated model is looking.

See the workbench feature on this Ork Trukk.

Undercoating the Ork Sqwadron Commander

The Ork Sqwadron Commander is a really nice model (only available as a show model from Forge World).

Next stage for the model was a white undercoat, this is different to what I usually use with my Orks.

Forge World Generator

One of the purchases I made from Forge World was the generator.

One of the key things you need to do with virtually all Forge World models is to give them a good wash.

When the Forge World models are cast, the mould is given a spray (I guess) of some kind of lubricant to allow the cast model to be released from the mould easily. However the lubricant also acts as a barrier to paint, so as happened with previous models I (and others) have painted is that the paint flecks off.

Washing the model in water with a drop of washing up liquid should remove the lubricant. Avoid using hot water as this could warp the resin (a useful tip if you need to warped resin back to its original shape).

Once washed the model is then ready for painting. The model was given a black undercoat.
