Da Gitzkrieg

[G.Hawke]

OOooooo. So you are going off that pic for the mini? Like, GSing a bunch of flames to attach him to the base and then having him in midair??? Because that would be epic.

quite so, shark, flames, flying ork..... and if i ever decide to enter GD.... An exploding plane high above.


anyways, its the long awaited update... BADMOON time.

This time i've gone via a different style of weathering and damaged look, there's the current WIP (the lower body needs alot of work, as well as the whole needing general touch ups)






thoughts? comments?

I like the badmoons very much. I also love the rusty/junky look to them. I do think that they would benefit from some black and or another highlight color. But solid work nonetheless!

Absolutely love this guy. You've done a fantastic job weathering this dread. Are you planning on painting up the rest of your models in this manner?

Only the badmoons, they are a different brand of orks from my gitzkrieg guys.

Huhu,

Why only 9 boys in your squad? You have room for more and really need the numbers when shooting starts.

C&C welcome....

Thats a lot to do, but i've got 3 bikers and the two kopta's ready for the fun over the next day or two. i also must make a start on scratch building that damned warkopta. turns out i also need more orks with CC weapons, as the 30 shoota boyz i've got won't fit the job... and 9 the big shoota guys who are now redundant.

-hawke

edit; Ewwww just spotted the mold lines on the basecoated deffkopta. Must fix. must fix now.

[AtmanAbecedarian]

Everything is looking great, Hawke. Keep it up!

[G.Hawke]

Update time, ive gathered together all of my models for this army list, so here is a picture of what is to be painted, with some junk in the background. 3 models will act as 'count as' until i buy/build replacements. Rep will be given for the first to spot which model shouldn't be in the army....





Looks pretty shabby atm, but i need to buy/build/paint a lot more before i consider it to be respectable. wish me luck.

in the meantime, this is my necron warrior test model.



FINAL IMAGE

C&C?

It's not green!

Ah stood up warriors, so much taller. Very interesting use of light sourcing, but I think it should have glowing eyes to, but otherwise I approve!

Now if you make an Ork Boy stand up straight....

[AtmanAbecedarian]

Nice Cron! Is this a preview of things to come? As I too have a bit of a tangent project on my mind. The new fluff is just so much more fun. Also, I wanted to do that exact same leg work to my Crons. Thanks for showing me how good it looks

[G.Hawke]

Itz Killboy Time.

Still early WIP, need to do alot of adjusting, scultping and replacing to be done. the head is only a temp, but in the meantime...





and here is the original artwork i am basing this off.

Great dynamic pose.. I like that head a lot actually, what are you planning to replace it with? Does he have a jump pack? Or he just a berzerk living bomb, along with all the bomb squigs? Those would be fun to add too. Me likey!

[TheConverter15]

Great stuff G.Hawke! The pose does Killboy justice

Hes just a living bomb, you drop him on someone then GTFO before he hits the ground. then you go back later to pick him up and loot whatevers left

Great stuff G.Hawke! The pose does Killboy justice

thanks man! glad you approve.
Tutorial time! here's a weathering tutorial for tanks since i've had a few people ask how i do it.

Part 2; Speed weathering.

step 1; get a tank.



Nice isn't she?

Step 2; the brown coat.



Now i used scortched brown with a little chaos black. All you need to do is get a sponge or the old foam they used to do in the days of the metal blister packs, and dab it on in places like corners, the bottom of armour, near guns ect.

Step 3; silverz




Same process, just get mithril silver, use a sponge and dab it on, ensuring to touch only lightly and never to cover all of your browncoat.

step 4; other bitz



All your doing here is simply adding a chaos black/scortched brown mix on to the barrel of any major artillery pieces of damaged spots. in this case, start with the dark coat, then add another tone (see below for pics) over the top. i usually mix up a orange/brown/snakebite mix to get the best scorching i can.

[G.Hawke]

Step five; Admire.




And there you have it, one speed weathered tank. Result will varey with time/race/painters.

[G.Hawke]

Ok time for an update, i'm currently batch painting orks... lots of them. here's how the they stand atm. I've also been working on a warboss i got off ebay, he's still not done yet, but you get an idea of how 'eavy armoured he is.





C&C welcome as always,

-hawke

[Jihad_Ragsta]

Ahah excellent, nothing like batch painting dozens of greenskins! Not that I've ever done that but it's the thought that counts....

Looking good so far, G, I can tell that the Ork skin is going to be impressive. I have high hopes for that army list of yours, any battles lined up in the future to test it out?

I'm a real sucker for this log, I need to post more
