Having washed the model, I went and gave it a drybrush to tone down the wash and accentuate the detail.
I also did some more on the motorbike front and the fuel trailer.

Ork with Rokkit Launcha
I have undercoated my conversion of an ork with a Rokkit Launcha.
It is a plastic Ork Boyz model, then using a Shoota and sticking a metal grenade (from the Stormboyz set) in the end, making it look very much like a panzerfaust. The head is also from the Stormboyz set.
Grot Rigger for my Skorcha…
This is the supplied Grot Rigger that comes with the Skorcha model.
He will be sitting on the trailer.
Feral Ork Heavy Bomber for Epic Armageddon
I got round to sticking the wings on my Terradon which is the basis for a Feral Ork Heavy Bomber for Epic Armageddon.
However I initially stuck them on the wrong way round and it looked weird, so before the glue had a chance to dry I got them in the right way.
This model is not the most recent version, it is the one before. It is not a perfect casting with a quite a few gaps which will need filling with green stuff. It also doesn’t fit the flying base, so more filling there as well.
I still need to think about the howdah and the bombs.
Orc Characters
I seem to be making very slow progress with my Warmaster painting as I get carried away doing Epic and 40K.
These Orc characters seem to have been unfinished for what seems ages…
Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons
Here are some pictures of some finished Ork Gunwagons.
Another view.
A line of Gunwagons.
The Gunwagons mixed in with other Ork vehicles.
I am hoping to have more finished soon.
Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons
I wanted to use a desert theme for my new Ork armies, which would mean that all the vehicles would be painted in different shades of dark orange and brown but still have an element of consistency amongst the units in the army. Having said that I will also be painting some in shades of green as well, though the brown wash will help blend them in.
Having painted and drybrushed the metal parts of the Gunwagons, the next stage was to paint the base coat. With the two models shown one was painted Desert Yellow and the other Bestial Brown..
The next stage was to give them a wash of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown and water.
This was then followed by a drybrush of the basecoat to tone down the wash and highlight the detail.
Here are some more pictures of the finished Gunwagons so far.
The bases were Warmaster bases and were covered in GW’s sand mix, before painting Bestial Brown and drybrushing with Bleached Bone.
Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons
Here are some photographs of my Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons.
After undercoating them white I undercoated the underneath black.
I then finished the metal parts in black.
These were then drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
These are very nice models even if the exhausts break off really easily.
Ork Skorcha
My Skorcha is nearing the end of its journey.
This shot shows the model after painting the entire bodywork in Vomit Brown.
The next stage was to give it a wash of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown and water.
This accents the detail and I will then drybrush with Vomit Brown.
The driver is nearly done and the Grot Rigger is now finished.
Still quite a bit to do, but it is looking good.
Feral Ork Boyz
I have done some more to my Feral Ork Boyz, these models use components from the Ork Boyz sprue and the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Orc sprue.
You may notice on one of the models that the body looks “funny” this was down to a poor quality sprue.
Still a lot more to do.
