Hit the throttle on the Wreckas last week. I've been painting pretty slowly this year all things considered, decided to change that with this project. Finished up free-hand on a few items, got the squigs painted up, did the bases and oil washes last week resulting in a final project I'm pretty happy with! I dug out some of the leftover terrain bits I had from the sector imperialis/Chalnath terrain. I put a fine terrain paste around those bits and then put in some sand to act as larger rocks/rubble. I was moving pretty quickly with these and might have done things differently in retrospect, but I'm happy enough with the final result. Oil wash on the armor knocked down some brightness and added a ton of depth. If I was going to spend more time on it I would have done a few other washes on various parts, to build up the volume in the skin and leather, but the clock was ticking and I'm happy with the final look I'm happy to have a new team to play regularly, and these boyz are a fun one. I broke my normal "rule" about only painting finished models and brought them to my weekly KT night while they were still a WiP. Unlike my last team (ratlings) this one is WAYYYY more my style to play. They have a ton of problems at the top-competitive level, but they get to roll tons of dice and blasting rockets left and right before charging in to knock some heads feels perfectly orky.

Quick WiP post to keep my momentum going Been picking up details and missed base-colors the last couple of days when I have time. I was going to use waterslides for a lot of these details, but they seemed like more work than Free-Handing them so I just went for that. Better practice anyway. I decided I wasn't happy with the yellow tone so I went back through and made it deeper on them. I'm hopeful that I'll have time tonight to get an oil wash done, then its basing and done !

"Listen up ya gitz! Mork may have tried ta eat us, but I'z too ard and too flash for dat. Now he'z gone and spat us out into da biggest fight any Ork's ever seen!

Thought destroyed by the formation of the great rift. Later seen leading an assault on Proxima Cragallum. Record sealed by inquisitorial order. Greetings fellow bosses! With the new edition of 40k, a new waaaagh was in order (after selling my last army at the beginning of 7th.) That meant a batch order of green and yellow paint, a ton of Boyz and most importantly of all version 3.0 of Nazgit Flashdakka! Nazgit has been my boss since the beginning of Gorkamorka, when he started out as just another Morka nob. His trusty Klaw and bionic bonce have been with me ever since, tearing up the tables through most of fourth and fifth edition, before taking a breather for sixth and seventh. Now, with the galaxy in utter chaos, Nazgit and da lads are back and ready for a fight! http://i.imgur.com/6MnodJx.jpg Next on the table is a mob of thirty slugga boyz, that just need their bases finishing up. So an update will be coming soon. Until then, stay flash!
