CosmicCreations Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hey everyone, I have taken a break from my blood ravens for a bit, I went into town today and had a bit of an idea. I had some cash so I went and bought a box of Ork Nobz, a SM Combat Squad and some Green Stuff. I have never done a diorama before and was eager to try it, and I have also never used green stuff before! But what the hell i'm giving it a go. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65036.jpg this was my starting point, I tacked up a quick mock of a dual. I know there are still mould lines, it was just a quick rough idea. I wanted it to seem like the marine sergeant had moved to the side and had come down hard with his chainsword, decapiating the ork. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65037.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65038.jpg With this in mind I started the final assembly of the two... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65046.jpg Its not perfect I know, there's not much movement in this one, but you need to remeber this is my first attempt, and it can only get better :D With these two almost done I moved onto another ork, one armed with a flamethrower. I wanted to try and add the flames like other people had done, and like I said, I have never used Green Stuff, so it's not the best... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65039.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65040.jpg I found the flames hard to do, but i'm happy considering they're a first attempt. And heres where I am now, so more updates soon... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65044.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hidje Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 bweuch, they screwed up the orks in the new codex :( I'm glad you're going to cut those new sissy-vegetables down, keep up the good work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 The Marine o' cutting ork heads off. seems a little too static too me. Maybe if you replaced those Tactical legs with some Assault legs, it would add a feeling of motion, also perhaps cut up that arm and give it a more fluid pose, with bends at the elbow and altered wrist position. Also is there going to be Green stuff gore coming from the ork's neck? I just couldn't see a chainsword cutting into an Ork without gore, or an Ork turning his head from an enemy. Looks promising, keep at it. EDIT: Oh and that Ork reminds me of a dog who is getting the back of his head scratched. "Oi, yeah right der puny Marine Boy! Woof!" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_unforgiven Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Maybe when you paint it make it pretty gory and have some blood splattering from the orks neck. Other then that great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicCreations Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thanks eveyone for the replies, I'm happy with it as it is only as first attempt There is some green stuff gore around the orks neck, but becase its such a tight space you cant really see it anyway, but I'll have a play about and see what I can do. This morning I carried on a bit and came up with this... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65049.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65054.jpg Firstly, I know there are mould lines and I havent tidied them up yet, dont worry, I will. Since I have never used Green Stuff I thought I'd try and make an Ork arm from scratch and I'm very pleased with it although its not perfect. I wanted to try and make this look like the Marine had had about enough and had lunged onto the back of the Ork in a last ditch attempt to shoot it in the back of the head, a little bit like the clip from Dawn of War 2 where the marine climbs on the warboss' back and them hits him with the hammer. I had originally opted for a right arm with a Grenade, looking like he was going to shove it down the Orks back and then run! Perhaps a little inspiration there from Starship Troopers :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge Dreadnought Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I would suggest re-posing the marine's pistol arm to have him pointed it at the ork's head to make his intent a bit more clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Instrument Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm really enjoying seeing this develop over the last couple of days. Impressive creativity, I can't wait to see it all finished. Once GT is out of the way this may inspire me to do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 All of the poses look good to me. One thing I personally think when people make battle scenes is that they place all the models to far away from each other. I would consider, moving everything a bit closer to one another. Also, what is the skortcha ork shooting at? I love the marine thats grabing the back of the orks armour. Really looking forward to how this turns out.

CosmicCreations Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thanks to everyone who is enjoying ths thread it means a lot :( The damned- that ork in the picture is shooting at nothing because when I took the picture I had removed the marine that was there, I'm going to have him aiming for the marine who is kicking the ork off the hill I think, but i'll have a play about.
