Now there are very nicely painted as you can see in this close-up.

Though maybe it was the angle at which I took the photograph, I am not sure about the composition and the use of jetpacks. They appear to be all over the place!

Re-Masking the Battlewagon

Having constructed the Battlewagon the next stage was to undercoat the model. I decided that I would use two undercoats, a black undercoat for some of the model and a brown undercoat (or basecoat) for the main bodywork. In order to achieve this I masked off the areas of the model that would be brown. I then sprayed the model black. I then removed the masking tape and masked the black areas.

I also masked the areas that I would need to use glue on later.

Ork Meka Dread

Now I have my own Mega Dread which is getting there in terms of getting it painted and on the table. Since I got mine Forge World have gone and released a Mek variant, the Meka Dread.

Now though I like the Mega Dread I am less sure about the Meka Dread. Not sure why, maybe it’s a little too “busy” even by Ork standards.

However I do like the Kil Saw arm which I much prefer over the Rippa Klaw arm originally released with the Mega Dread. Thinking about a second Mega Dread with Kil Saw, though using the Meka Dread body would ensure that the two big walkers would look different. Hmmm.
