Sliced throats and bashed 'eads: Orks and Dark Eldar

[El Aartos]

Hello dear Warseers,

This will be my topic to show my orks and my upcoming army: the Dark Eldar.
There won't be much Orks in it since I almost finished the army but you never know what the future will bring us. The orks are my speedpaint army excluding the characters and bikers because they are too cool to speedpaint and that wouldn't do them much justice.

To give a kick-off:

Here's my warboss, Kaptin Badrukk. I use him as a normal warboss but I like him a lot.


Here's his right hand, my Big Mek:


These are my pride and joy, the (nob) bikers:




More will follow soon because there are too many pics :P

And here's my latest creation, my battle wagon! It was great fun to paint and I like all the crazy things you can make out of it, especially the crew!











Hope you like it a bit, next update will be the fresh start of my Dark Eldar.

[Mr. Ultra]

Oh, great. Just another BAD MOOOOONZ army...

Seriously, what is SO great in Bad Moons? They are wimpsy gits and essencially the Ork poshes by Morks sake!

Hrmmmpff grrtfhhnatty, prim, ritzy, upscale, lavish, pricey, sybaritic, snazzy, spiffy, choice, grand, opulent, sumptuous grmmmf grtrrmm grfhh grtogggnmnnh...

PS on the hobby side, your paintjob is pretty good and well executed, and I like the big mek model.

[Breazer]

woah great battle wagon...i love the dude with the binoculars coming out...and the weathering is also pretty sweet....

i am so curious about your upcoming dark eldar too....hope they will be meanie slaaneshi dudes

[Mega Nutz]

The battle wagon looks fantastic, love the worn JCB look!

[Abraham Danglebreech]

I second what Mega Nutz said. I like the posing on the bikes too, particularly the one doing a fronty

[Fanny Crowbar]

Love the Battlewagon. It looks as solid as a Tonka Truck.

[Monsterzonk]

Love the painting on your Orks! The weathering is excellent. Looking forward to more...

Cheers,
Monsterzonk

[glenning]

Looking great!

[Meriwether]

I (a) love the choice of yellow, and (b) really, really love the weathering effects on the vehicles. Well, well done!

[Xelkireth]

This needs more Dark Eldar.

[El Aartos]

Thanks for the many replies guys! Here are my latest additions and the final ones for my orks. The quality is not so high as on the battlewagon and bikers but I don't have that much patience with over 70 orks

Here's my "deff dread". It's a conversed or better, looted dread from the black reach kit.


These are some of my lootas.


And here are some of my many many boys.


Next update will be some Dark Eldar but you'll have to be a bit patient for it because I haven't ordered them yet and I'm waiting for Maelstrom to release their latest voucher.

[Breazer]

im loving the details you added to the def dread and the lootas..

they seem like they would belong in an ork army!

[El Aartos]

And finally my Dark Eldar came with the post yesterday. I took a pic immediately to share with you guys
This is what I'll be building the coming months:


More pics will be following very soon.

[G.Hawke]

nice yellow you've got going with the orks! i'd like to see more green/yellow and less eldar...

-hawke

[El Aartos]

@Hawke: well, I'm afraid there won't be much orks here for some time since I completed my army of them

But it's update time! I put two squads together. I already like the hellions very very much and I'm thinking about buying much more of them. They can be made so dynamic with all the wild poses and ball-socket for the skyboards.

Here are my warriors, I've redone some of the poses because I found the basic poses a bit too static.



Here are my hellions with more to come.


And finally, an Archon. I'm not using one yet, but I got some spare bits left and wanted to build something really dramatically.

[Breazer]

these guys are looking awesome....you are getting me all tingly to see em irl

[El Aartos]

Here are the first warriors with my test color scheme. Basing still needs to be done, I'm thinking about something not too dark to give a bit of contrast, what do you guys think?

[Meriwether]

I like them, but I'm partial to purple. The boots on the one on the far left are too pink, IMO -- the others look better in that regard.

[razormasticator]

I would agree with Meri. I do love that Archon conversion though. Dead Sexy!!!!
