Gavverin da ladz and other green nonsense.

[Messiahnide]

Well im finally doing my log after promises to too many people.

So earlier on tonight i got a fair few hours painting my warboss and nobz but my cameras gone the way of civilised conversation and flipped me the bird.............so pics tommorrow when I get him fixed.

So as the title up there so imformatively points out this will be an ork log, I painted about 1500 pts of orks last year then decided i dont like em an easy greened the lot! so this will be my tale of version 2 of da ladz but may also incorporate my marines when i get round to them.
also there will be a picture of my cat as is tradition.

So until i can get my camera to cooperate I bid you all good night.

I'm not a big fan of an OP that says people are starting a log -dadadada- then apoligise for lack of photos. Why don't people wait until they get the photos to start the log?

I apoligise is that sounds a little rude.


I am a fan of people adding pictures of their pets that hang around them as they paint/convert; it adds a little personality to the thread.

Then someone will most likely stick the picture in paint and shove a big squiggoth cab on its back.

I await greenskins!

[Messiahnide]

Be patient, ive just gotta kick kick my cam into submission

[Messiahnide]

Nice looking start, welcome to the green tide.

[Messiahnide]

cheers mate, saw your orks the other day, really like the armour on them.

[Brother Alexos]

Try to get a better focus on your pics.

Try to get a better focus on your pics.

Im working on it, im in the process of building meself a lighting rig and box to take the pics but until then this is the best i can do im afraid.

[Brother Alexos]

By the look of the pics here, its good quality painting. I would suggest that you make the skin brighter, it looks dull.

It is brighter in the flesh (no pun intended) my lighting rig isnt finished yet but there will be better pics when i get that sorted, and thanks for the compliment

Almost forgot about this my take on wazdakka





just gotta reposition one of the shootas and greenstuff a lot of it, mostly put some armour plates on the wheels to bring it inline with the new bikes.

theres quite a few kits gone into this, theres the old warbuggy and trakk, the new warbikes and boys, fantasy boar boy legs and some odds and ends, theres even a bit off a coffee jar lid on there cut up cos i ran outta plasticard.

Also a bit of fluff i wrote this morning about my warboss, to tie him in with my old gorkamorka mob:

Listen up boys, coz I iz gonna tell ya how our boss got where e iz now. bellowed Nazgit, about 12 yoofs gavered around the old ork with fresh tankards of squig brew, one was trying to bite into a squig that bit his hand and ran off behind some barrels of fuel. Rite then lads, he said while wipeing some brew from lips, some say e had a mob ov boyz on dis desert planet that was full ov orks, big orrible hot place it was where all da boys scrapped fa places on dis big ulk dat looked like da gods, all da mobs on dat place wanted ta get on this ulk ya see cos it was gonna carry em back to da big waaaargh. a few of the yoofs took a gulp of brew and one let out a echoeing belch much to the amusement of the others. Good one lad........now where wuz I?......thats it the ulk, well Udviks boys got a name fer emselves an had a few ov his boys workin on dis fing, so e got imself an iz lads a ride on it when it left da planet, well tha tale goes that when dey left that planet da ulk ad.........lets say the werky bits wernt werkin rite so it smashed on dis place we's on now. All the yoofs started leaning in more as one got up to relieve himself behind the barrels much to the displeasure of the squig hiding there. Nazgit lights up a cigar while the young ork walks back from behind the barrels taking a bite out the back of a squig he found, Now ya see when all da boys got out of the ulk it was proppa buggered, so all da boys started makin emselves at ome and scrappin ova all da loot in tha ulk, well dere was dis on lad who started bossin all da boys about an made imself boss, Dragnat or summin e waz called. Well udvik didnt wanna be bossed about cos no one tells iz boys wot ta do but im ya see, so e gavvered some more lads and bashed is way inta Dragnatz fort an mashed iz boys up, an dey say dat when Udvik an Dragnat scrapped it went on fer an ole day until Udvik ripped iz jaw from iz face, bit messy it was. Udviks got iz skull ta dis day, uses it fa drinkin iz grog out ov. So if any ov u boys reckons u can be boss one day, jus rememba dat it aint gonna be easy ta topple old Udvik.

Nazgit rose to his feet and flicked his cigar at one of the yoofs. Rite lads we got tin boys ta fight tommorra, better get ya eads down.

Phew thats a big post!

[Messiahnide]

Today I deployed my boys on a hostile takeover of the coffee table to see what i've got so far, well here it is and by jove have I got some painting to do, bear in mind half of this was painted about a year ago and I didnt like the paintjob so I stripped the lot!





And as is custom I give you kiki the bane of my paintstation

[Brother Alexos]

Two words.

Batch. Painting.

[Messiahnide]

Two words.

Batch. Painting.

Thats the plan Im doing em in batches of ten, which will take me about 2 afternoons per mob of 25 - 30 boys and an afternoon on everything else, so it shouldnrt take too long.

[Messiahnide]

Warboss and nobs now finished with an ammo runt for good measure




Hopefull I will have finished the lighting rig when I post my next pics, those will be 12 ard boys.

[Yorick]

They are looking ace mate, but yeah, you defiantly need to post pics with better light!

[Messiahnide]

Cheers yorrick, Im working on the lighting rig as we speak and Im making sure its done before I post more pics

[SneakyChris]

Loving it fella.....I cant remember seeing these in the store.

[Messiahnide]

Cheers mate Im halfway through through a battlewagon at the moment so pics for that will be up in the next few days.

Been painting up my marines lately (plog soon) so the green fellas been a bit neglected lately.
