Deth Kopta, nearly finished to gaming standard…

This is quite a simple model to paint.

Starts off with a black undercoat, drybrush of Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.

The rotor blades are painted with Bleached Bone and will be getting a highlight of Skull White.

At this point I am happy for it to be used in a game.

Final details will be adding some copper and bronze to various components, painting the dials and seat, as well as giving the machine some glyphs and details on the tail.

I really like this model, I now have a squadron of three and may get some more in the future, maybe to convert into a heavy version.

Ork Airfield Defence Force* airfield vehicles

Here are a couple of the Ork Airfield Defence Force airfield vehicles.

The role of these vehicles is to support the function of the Flyboyz, but they are armed with light weapons and/or AAA weapons.

One of the models is armed with a flak weapon from a Flakwagon. The other is towing a Big Gunz trailer with two bombs (lifted from a FW Ork Bomma).

I am using the same basing structure as my Feral Orks to allow the models to be used with either army.

* I know a more Orkish name would be more in keeping with the fluff…

Orks with Twin Big Shootas

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.

Junkatrukks

Here are two Junkatrukks that I have finished for my Feral Ork Army.

I know they could do with some detailing and maybe the odd glyph or two…

The models were painted orange and light brown and then given an ink wash.

Before I would use a plain ink wash, but after reading an article on Dropship, I added some Vomit Brown to the ink and water mix and as a result the finished models are not as glossy as when I have used an ink wash.

Also you may notice for my Feral Orks that I (for once) am following fashion and I am basing my vehicles…

Epic Ork Landa

I have undercoated my Ork Landa.

It is a really nice model, and it would be nice if Forgeworld made a 40K version.

Junkatrukks

I have made little progress with my Junkatrukks.

As you can see, since I last mentioned them, I have only managed to drybrush the metal parts.

I have since these pictures were taken experimented with an orange colour, but I am not sure at the moment, so I am only painting one to see how it comes out.

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.

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.
