I have been adding some detailing to my Orc Ork conversions.
I have made the glyph on the back of the backplate neater (using black paint) and painted the wrist bands as well. The strip of bullets also got done as well.
Though I will be using them as Boyz, I will also use them as Huntas as part of an Feral Ork army.
This is the Forgeworld Imperial City Walls from the Forgeworld Display at GamesDay 2005.
You can see this is a huge piece of scenery, those are long barreled autocannons on the walls.
The entrance is certainly imposing and an Imperial BaneBlade can fit through those doors.
I do like this, but is it worth £625? Well from what I have heard they have been flying off the *shelves* at Forgeworld. This model took something like twelve days to make and paint.
I want two!
I have been making progress on my jet packed Ork Stormboyz.
They are coming along nicely now.
I have made some more progress on my Ork with Rokkit Launcher Conversion.
I have painted the *uniform* in Codex Grey. I have drybrushed the base with white paint and I have added some detailing.
Still some more work to do.
The conversion uses a standard shoota with a grenade from the Stormtroopers set stuck in the end.
Here is a picture of my near-finished Epic Skorchaz.
As you can see from this close-up, still a few more things to do.
I am pleased with the end result, and think they look a lot better than my original Skorchaz.
I have now virtually finished my Epic Bowelburnaz.
Following an ink and paint wash, they were drybrushed with the base coat.
Some had a further drybrushing with a lighter shade.
Two have been converted using turrets from Ork Battlefortresses.
They need their undersides painted (they have been merely placed on their bases). I also want to add some more detailing as well.
This is the Tyranid Warrior from the Forgeworld Display cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
Really nice model.
I had a chance today to see the Xbox 360 in action today, available for testing at two games stores. I don’t normally play video games much (I have an original PlayStation with Bubble Bobble).
I was very impressed with the graphics.
The gameplay on Need for Speed was quite good, though again the graphics were impressive.
I also saw call of duty which looked great, but I didn’t get a chance to play.
I can see why people queued up for them (and are willing to pay over the odds on eBay).
I have nearly finished my Epic Ork Skorchaz.
They have been dry-brushed and some detailing added.
Still need to paint the underside (where they were glued down) and add some more detailing. I am quite pleased with them.
These are some wonderful Tyranid models from the Forgeworld Display cabinets at GamesDay 2005. The big model in the middle is the Harridan, the Tyranid flyer.
This is the Barbed Hierodule.
This is the Scythed Hierodule.
I am tempted to get a Tyranid army, however only tempted
