Orks - Speed Freaks

Well it has been awhile since I last posted, due to some complications in my life I have been unable to find the time to keep up to date on my blog and I want to apologize to my followers. Now to business. Over the last month or so I was painting a Speed Freaks army for a friend of mine and must admit it was a nice change to the things I normally do, like Space Marines. When he approached me with the project I was excited to take it one and totally knew what look I wanted to give his speed freaks. I thought that nice dull red would look great with a mustard yellow and I wanted to see how well an army would look if the base colors were only foundation paints.Overall I think they ahve a great look and the are far more models then what is shown in the posted photos. All the models were built by my friend and I think he did a great job with the Warboss and the vehicle to give them that orky look. I especially like the belt buckle he used on the front of one of the Battlewagons. It took me about 3 weeks in all to paint these models and thought that getting it done in that amount of time was a miracle I had no idea I get that many models done in that short periond of time, almost 200 models.
Also in the meantime while I was painting those I was able to find some time to work on my own projects and get a little more done on them, still no paint on them as I want to finish building them before I start painting them. Gamesday is approaching fast and I want to have them done for my trip to Baltimore. I promise more post in the future so keep checking back and thanks for all your feedback.

Bad Moons Ork Warboss - For sale on Ebay

I felt like building a cool warboss and thought I would build and paint the one I saw back in March's White Dwarf. It was a pretty cool model and really like the colors. So I pitched the idea t the customer and he gave me the go ahead to do. Well I tried my best to get it identical to what is in the magazine. I think I did a pretty good job. I followed a lot of the instructions that are in the white dwarf in regards to color and went about painting it. The yellow was a little time consuming only because of the black base coat but overall the yellow came out great. There is about 6 or 7 layers of yellow to get the shading right. I personally don't like a lot of brown in my yellow so I started from a more rich yellow. The skin was another fun part as I always love painting Ork Skin. Again there is about 6 or 7 layers of color there. For the most part I stuck to the color layout of the original model and just went about painting the way I paint. It was a very fun model to build and paint. He is to be sold on Ebay shortly.
Remember any questions feel free to conatact me or leave a comment, till next time.

Waaagh! Banner Ork Nob for Mark

This is the Waaagh! banner I made for my friend Mark. This was a fun project since I made the flag entirely out of Green Stuff. I then added various ork bits to give it a more ork appearance, since the the GS banner alone was a little dull. I added some heads on a chain to represent trophies of fallen regiments and what not. The model is painted in the same colors as the horde it belongs to. Other then that I cant wait to build another.

Plastic Ghazghkull Thraka & Battlewagon w/ Custom Deftrolla

Here is the completed Battlewagon and Thraka models that I did as a commission for a friend of my own. The Ghazghkull Thraka model was built entirely out of plastic card and pieces from the AOBR warboss. I painted him the traditional black that thraka is and added tonnes of battle damage, since he is a warlord and has killed 1000's in battle. There is also elements of Blue and Yellow on him to tie in with the army that he will fighting along side of.
The Battlewagon has a custom scratch built Deftrolla that I built for it since there was not one out at the time when I built this model. Again it was painted to match the theme of the army it is for, Blue, Yellow and Silver. These will make a great addition to the players army and hope he has a blast kicking butt and taking names.

All Plastic Ghazghkull Thraka Commission

Size Comparision to Space MArine Terminator and AOBR Ork Nob



A friend of my own came to me a while back and said something about how he did not like the current metal Ghazghkull thraka model produced by GW, especially the weight. So he challenged me to build him a new take or version of Ghazghkull made entirely of plastic for his Ork army that I had just finish painting about a few weeks ago. So I went about building him using well you guessed it plastic card or as others know it, sheet styrene. I used all sorts of different sizes of strips, tubing, and cut the larger pieces from a large sheet. I have been asked how I went about building the model and to come up with a tutorial on how I built it. If your interested in ordering one I can certainly build one for you , just email me. As for the tutorial if may be a few weeks before i have time to do it. Time to Paint.
