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.

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.

Feral Ork Heavy Bomber for Epic Armageddon

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.

Epic Ork Bommerz

Made quite a bit of progress on these lovely models… Well after doing the metal parts I have spent a bit of time on my Forgeworld Ork Bommerz.

The first thing I did was to do the bases, which starts of as a simple flying base, I stuck a small rock and GW’s sand mix, before painting Bestial Brown and drybrushing with Bleached Bone.

I wanted to go for the orange/brown look of the FW 40K model.

Though I don’t think I will go for the checks or the flame effects which I think wouldn’t work in this scale (painted by me they wouldn’t).

I first painted the underneath in Vomit Brown.

This meant that I could avoid getting paint on the black metal work.

After painting the complete model in Vomit Brown, I painted the bomb loads in Bestial Brown after thinking that black would be too harsh. I then gave the model a wash. In the following picture the washed model is still wet!
