Ork Fighter Bommerz from a game at GamesDay 2005.

Ork Flyers
This was a Dambusters style game with Ork flyers (including a converted C-130 Hercules) attempting to destroy an Imperial dam which was being defended by Praetorian (British style helmet) Imperial Guard.
It looked like a fun game, excellent scenery and well painted models, see more pictures soon.
Pictures from an old Epic battle report
I have lots of pictures on my website which cover a range of different eras, ranges and scales.
It can be quite difficult to find what you might find interesting (and as a webmaster it is quite difficult to decide where to put things). I do have a few battle reports on my website which are quite different to the photographs I usually take, but show a series of photographs from a game.
These pictures are an example of one of my Epic battle reports.
Here Ork fighters attack a detachment of Imperial Baneblade super heavy tanks.
Here an Ork Gargant and a motorised Ork detachment advance.
More pictures from the report here.
Epic Ork Bommerz
Here is a photo of my Ork Bommerz…
…flying across a desert looking for Imperial targets.
As you can see the bases work well with the photographic terrain I have been working on, though I may give the terrain a drybrush of Bleached Bone.
My desert boards will be done in a similar fashion.
Epic Ork Bommerz
With a final drybrush to tone down the wash and accentuate the detail…
I have finished my Forgeworld Epic Ork Bommerz.
I did think about adding some more detail and glyphs, but thought at this small scale it may not work well, and I was pleased with the models as is. I have some metal conversions hanging around which I may try some yellow flames on.
I probably will get some more of these models.
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!
Once the model was completely painted in Vomit Brown I then washed the model with a wash of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown and water.
As you can see one model is darker than the other, but I don’t think Orks are that uniform.
I still need to do add some more detailing.
The detail on these models is amazing.

Having undercoated the Ork Bommerz with white paint, the next stage is to paint the metal bitz with black paint.
Epic Bommerz Undercoated
I have undercoated my Forgeworld Ork Bommerz.
They are in white as I intend to use an orange colour which is not good at covering black.

Finished putting them together…
I have eventually put my Forgeworld Epic Ork Bommerz together.
They were slightly fiddly to put together, but the pieces did fit well there was very little flash or cleaning needed.
I will be giving them a white undercoat and painting them in an orange colour.
Ork Bommerz
Ork Bommerz are slightly fiddly…
I am currently putting together the Forgeworld Epic Ork Bommers.
They are really nice castings and well detailed, but are somewhat fiddly to put together as the kits contain very small parts.
Each Bommer comes with six bombs, I am going to only glue four on as I will use the spares for the ground vehicles that I am converting for use on the airfield.
These ground vehicles will include fuel trucks, crane trucks, weaponload trucks, tow vehicles and other types of vehicles you would expect to see on an Ork airfield.
I also hoping that Forgeworld will release the trailers (especially the tanker trailer) from their 40K scale range in Epic scale – this will give me a lot of conversion material.
