I always think that looking at people in crowds is a good idea when deciding on decorations (or colour schemes in general). You don't see many people with flashy trousers; and decorations tend to be kept to the head, shoulders and torso. Awkward to get to, but it'll give a nice realistic effect.

Inspired work on the meganobz. They really look hulking and sinister now.
As far as more decoration, maybe kill markings on the armor? Or trophies?

[CMDante]

Give them some more highlighting on the plate edges (bleached and iyanden or bad moon or whatever yellow your using) and some black flames and checkers and you should be sorted. Looking good so far mate.

Cheers,

Sorry if someone has already asked this but how did you do the yellow? Looks realy real!

NOBS DONE!

(barring the 2 missing power klaws, which will have to wait until my uber-cheap ork reinforcements arrive soon)

im pretty pleased with them, actually. theyre no masterpieces (you can clearly see the inside of the carapace of one of them where the spray undercoat failed to reach... oops!) though im not bothered. orks are a horde army and as long as the army looks cool as a whole (which im really hoping it will) ill be happy. these guys, the warboss, the 10 flashgits and the battlewagon will be the 'centrepiece models' with 2 mobs of 20 shoota boys (theyre bad moons after all and prefer the sound of a shoota to the swish of a choppa... leave that fetish tothe goffs and blood axes). and 10 choppa-armed ard'boys and 3 koptas filling up the other slots in the 1500 point army.

Group Shot


the group shot (and yes they do look like NY taxicabs. theyre bad moons, they like to stand out!). you can see the chequers and the 'bright' bases here - bright, meaning non desert/rubble/urban, which we see so much under 40k models. i do like those bases, but i thought it would be a breath of fresh air to see something nicer... for the orks to ruin!

Gornob (the noble slaughterer)

the original model on which the others (including the insecure camerashy warboss) are all based on, and one of my faves. he looks the most hard ass of them all, hence the name. im very pleased with the chequers and the smurf trophy, which im really plased with.

continued from previous post...

Gofgoff (Blacknight)

one of the 2 guys in need of a klaw. note the kill markings (4 - a lot of kills considering his accuracy) and the chequers on the weapon.

Meknaz (Mekaniakmoon)

the 'mek' of the unit, as evidenced by the snazzier weapon and the slightly different armour. blood angel terminator trophy. and blocky carapace chequers.

Badgoff (Evildeath)

no-nonsense Badgoff, who just likes killing things... whether with his snazzzy klaw or his double-drum-mag twin shoota, he doesnt care.

continued from previous post...

Gofgod (Wargod)

the loose-cannon of the unit (as clearly evidenced by his name), this guy has the coolest CC weapon, if i may say so myself!



in hindsight their names are probably more suited to goff than badmoons, but considering theyre meganobs, i dont think its too bad.

next up are the warboss and battlewagon, which i hope turn out as cool as these guys.

oh yeah, im also considering making another 5 of these guys with combi weapons and (skorchas/rokkits) and a porper mek model in mega armour. im also mulling over making a gigantamous (counts as) wazdakka on a snazzbike thatll be as long as a rhino. im looking forward to that one

(check out the previous posts for the other meganobs)

[Hadriel Caine]

oh. my. god. the truescaled marines were cool. but nothing compares to that mega armour. this army is going to be fantastic!

well done

Adam

[Yayale]

I've said it before I'll say it again these models are absolutely brilliant, epic even!

iyanden darksun applied thickly anda thin badab black wash over it.

A Blood Angel Trophy! HOW DARE YOU! Looks awesome I think they look wicked, very old school curvy-esque armour like the old orks. I hope that they're trasport actually gets a little taxi cab sign on the roll bar or roof. Very cool weapons, what are you going to do for the mek hand?

actually now you mention it ill give him one of the nob buzz saw arms. cool, if you hadnt mentioned that i would have just given him a normal power klaw. the buzz saw is a bit mekkier actually.

thanks!

lol

[Deus Ruinus]

my your a big bugger arnt you?

very nice stuff again mr synapse, your too much of an inspiration to most of us.

[Nazerth]

You have combined plasticard and AoBR nobz and created the greatest meganobz possible, I tip my hat to you good sir.

[tcraigen]

the Buzz saw will look awesome, much mekkier choice

Synapse, beautiful painting on the orks.
There are a lot of Bad Moons orks lately.
Is yellow the new black?
