More green

Finally finished the Orks I've mentioned before, so 20 more miniatures painted for the challenge.

Mek Boss Buzzgob and his Grot Oilers (Nitnuckle & Lunk).

Buzzgob is introduced in Imperial Armour 8: Raid on Kastorel-Novem

2 Deffkoptas converted to have Big Bomms and Buzzsaws.

Big Bomms are from Forgeworld's Ork Bomb pack (which seems to be no longer available). One of the Buzzsaws is from Ork Nob-box and the other is an Inquisitor-scale (54mm) chainsword.

One Killa Kan.

Basically just a test for the rest of the vehicles in the army.

Ork Shoota Boyz Mob, 14 strong. Includes 2 Rokkit Launchas.

I have previously painted 16 of those (with one Rokkit Launcha & 1 Nob),

so this gives me a full 30 strong mob.

And back to painting, still have a long way to go if I intend to finish the 2013 Challenge...

When no one else can help...

The first 4 miniatures today are a tribute to a tv-show from the 80's: The A-Team

So let me present you: The A-Mob!

Left: Kannibal (ie. John 'Hannibal' Smith)

Right: B.A. meaning Bad Aim (ie. B.A. Baracus, where B.A. meant Bad Attitude)

Left: Faceplate (ie. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck)

Right: Zogging Mad (ie. Howling Mad Murdock)

Ork Kommando unit would've been more appropriate, but I do not like the miniatures that exist for that unit. So I just kitbashed something with the basic Ork Boyz-box.

Not to stop there, I also finished 10 Grots with their Runtherd:

That will be all for the Orks for a while, need to get another batch finished before dipping more of them...

More Orks

Without further ado here are some pics of stuff I dipped and then finished.

2 Ork Nobz, they will be added to the unit from the Assault on Black Reach box. They are identical miniatures to those from the box, but the bosspoles were added and decorated with bitz from my collection.

1 Ork Pilot (will be used as a  Warboss). A Forge World event only model I bought from Games Day.

 1 Runt Bot. A Forge World event only model I bought from Games Day. Will be used as a Warboss or Killa Kan depending on the game.

Still 22 miniatures from the dipping waiting to be finished, back to work...

A new foe approaches...

So, I finally got a new miniature done. Not much, but at least got something finished.

A Necron Overlord

And yes, it is my only finished Necron model so far...

The model is from Games Workshop, it is the one from the Necron Catacomb Command Barge / Annihilation Barge box (as I made an Annihiliation Barge, the overlord miniature was left over).

The first drops of a green tide

Back in 2008 Assault on Black Reach set was released, I had to paint it in a couple of weeks before the release so it would be ready for demoing on that date.

 Citadel Foundation Paints were also recently released, so the plan was to use them too. The paint scheme used exlusively Foundation Paints, except for Boltgun Metal as there was no metallic paints in that set. After painting the figures were dipped in Army Painter Quickshade Dark Tone. As usual, everything was kept very simple, only the skin had a drybrush: dark green base and lighter green drybrush.

20 Orc Boys

3 Deffkoptas (the rotors were magnetized, so they do spin and can be removed for transport)

5 Nobz

1 Warboss

Since then I have acquired a big bunch of boxes for the Orks, but mostly haven't got past priming. I am good at starting projects, not so good for finishing them. I'll have to dig around, I think I painted some more Orks to fill the Ork Boyz mob to full 30 and maybe another mob...
