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.
I am finishing off some more of my Forgeworld Epic Ork Gunwagons.
In this picture the ink, paint and water wash is still wet.
They have being painted in various shades, one was Snakebite Leather, another Blazing Orange and the other Vermin Brown. I do like the fact they look consistent yet different.
The next stage will be a drybrush in the basecoat to highlight the detail and tone down the wash.
I have finished another Epic Bowelburnaz.
Again I am using different shades of brown (and orange on other vehicles) to create a uniformed mass of irregular Orks.
I often paint my miniatures to what I call a gaming standard (okay to put on the table) and then add detail later (sometimes much later).
I decided it was high time that I added some detailing to my Killa Kans, as they looked a little plain, especially in the missile department. The Rokkits were painted white, then red and then given a wash on ink to gloss them up slightly.
In the main I will be adding some copper and bronze to various metal parts and adding some more Ork glyphs.
A flying squiggoth type thing…
Using a Warhammer Fantasy Battle Lizardman Terradon I am going to convert it into an Epic Armageddon Feral Ork Heavy Bomber.
The basic concept will have a howdah on top and bombs and stuff attached to the wings.
I have now stuck the little beasty together.
n a previous entry I showed off a couple of my painted Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons, I was not happy with one of them. You can see the original paint job in the picture below.
I put it down to the checks, but then someone on EpiComms mentioned they didn’t like the green panel, so I have now painted over it.
In my mind it now looks a little better.
hough I have already painted some of the Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons, I am currently painting some more.
They started with a white undercoat and then I sprayed the bottom with black paint to seal in the resin.
These are very detailed models and well worth getting and very good value (compared to the metal models from GW) at £5 for three.
I also like the weapons on them and it is worth getting them I think just to get the guns for conversions.
Did the tyres on my Epic Bowelburnaz.
With some new Epic Skorchaz I am currently painting I am going to follow a scheme I have used on some Wartrakk conversions.
Starting with a white undercoat I have painted the metal parts in black paint.
Once this is finished I will drybrush with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal. The rest of the model will be painted in a shade of brown with each model having their own shade. This will then be washed with an ink and paint wash before detailing is added.
My current Epic Skorchaz look like this which was based on an all over black undercoat.
My intention is to follow a scheme similar to these Wartrakk conversions.
I have painted the base coat on my Lunburstaz.
They are going to be in the same paint scheme as my more desert models.
I really like this model, the detail on the casting is excellent and in some ways better than current models.
Note the paint is still a little wet in that picture.
