Kustom is good mate, all in all I am loving your orks mate especially like that nob with the buzzsaw hand.

One question though mate as I have started back painting my WFB orcs, do you find that the endless cycle of painting boyz to a really good standard sucks the life out of you like it is doing to me (and I haven't even finished the first 10 )?

Thanks. I did at first find it rather annoying to work through such a large bunch of colour in one block (I did 75 orks almost back to back). But I found my painting method was quick, easy and I blitzed through them quickly. The painting method I used can be found in this thread, but in my mind these are tabletop standard for me, the highlighting is rather sloppy in places. But I found doing them production line helps. Take small batches - maximum of 10 minis (I was doing eight at a time), then chose an area and paint each layer onto all the minis before going back to the first. (Sorry for teaching you to suck eggs there) But I found it helped a lot, but mine were being done quickly and tabletop standard only.

I have now finished the bases and taken better pictures of the nobz. Here below for your viewing pleasure...

I am working on the warboss today, I might get some WIP pictures up a bit later, we'll see. Anyway, as usual C&C welcome.

They look ace. Any chance of a group-shot?

This is today's work. I have managed to get his skin and the blue cloth done. I've been attempting to do it with the light source up above, rather than my usual edge highlighting. I'm pretty happy thus far.

That last ork nob that you posted is awesome! Fantastic character. I like the face too.

Love that warboss, the skin on him looks brilliant.

Well your certainly improving Kuffy...ABOUT TIME!

I may be a little slow here but I wanted to ask. Where did the text of the story about the Ork who lost his arm come from. I seem to remember reading it as part of the lauch of Gorka Morka but I can't remeber specifically where I would find it. Considering how short it is it manages ot convery a great deal...

Other than that I think the Pain Boy could stand up to some more highlighting and still retain his dark and blood soaked atmosphere.

What a mammoth thread. Nice stuff Kuffy!

Indeed, it is from GorkaMorka. Either Da Roolz or Da 'Uvver Book, I cannot remember.

You can find .pdfs of them on GWs website (Specialist Games-section, one of the headings, can't remember which).

I have managed to get some more work done on him, in fact he's nearly complete to my eyes. I have some detailing to do, as well as some highlighting - but that will be done tomorrow, after the wash is dry.

I hope it makes you happy Dan.
