[Pandoras Bitz Box]

Great to see this thread revitalised! Rally nice work, it will be cool to see these guys in action when normal service resumes

@ Azaiel

Thanks for going through.

 

@ Warbringer

I know, it's going to be an epic Deathskulls Waaaagh by then! We are both increasing in numbers. Also this must be the first time we are doing Orks at the same time.

 

@ Pandorasbitzbox

I know, busting to get them on the table. You might like this next bit too...

 

 

 

I've dusted off and finished another long neglected model. It's the Looted Carnifex Pandorasbitzbox made me as a gift something like 7 years ago. I mention it further back in the thread.

 

 

 

 

 

He put a lot of work into this beast so it's great I've finally managed to (hopefully) do it justice!

DATZA WEIRD LOOKIN'SQUIGGOTH!

[Kierdale]

That is absolutely fabulous! I love it!

[Magos Takatus]

Amazing. I've seen a looted Carnifex before but this one is loads better. I think your painting breathes life into a very sold conversion. I think your friend would be proud.

[Warbringer]

Wow krakendoom stompy is looking amazing. I can’t wait to see him in person. I think with my finished Ghaz I’ll have a model to run up with. Poor stompy can give me some cover!

[Krakendoomcool]

@ Quixus

It is quite squiggoth like tbf.

 

@ Kierdale

Thank you buddy, I only painted this one mind.

 

@ Magos Takatus

Thank you. I was a bit concerned with the paint job as he had put so much effort into the model.

 

@ Warbringer

Yes would be amazing to get them altogether. You can definitely see him IRL, forgot last time actually.

 

 

 

Anyone who remebers or has looked at page one of this thread will see a Burna Bommer from 2 years ago. I've finally finished painting it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The smoke is made by Glueing Autumn flock onto a bit of sprue and coating it in superglue before painting. Brad Glover has done a tutoorial on twitter for how to do it.

[Kierdale]

Great stuff. And the SENMM aviator shades are outstanding! :tu:

[MithrilForge]

I loves me some Orky Flyers and dis one takes da cake !! really well done (those 80's shades  )

the exhaust smoke is stellar ,thanks for sharing the tutorial  

 

cheers, Mithril

What a wonderful thread ❤️

 

I've managed to paint up 2k between February and April this year. Currently on with flash gitz and you're not wrong! They're taking some serious painting compared with everything else. Yours look superb as does the Burna bomber. Epic job dude!

 

What's up next?

Flyer is amazing! Great work with it.

[Smoke Frog]

That is a beautiful ork flyer and base!

[Slave to Darkness]

Amazing army mate, I love the little retro touches like the skull hats going on. These are by far the best Deathskulls I have ever seen. 

[Urauloth]

Really magnificent. I like the lighter blue a lot, I also noticed it in the Kastorel-Novem artwork but I've never seen anyone translate it onto a Deathskull model before. You've got some great kitbashes here too, very inspirational stuff.

[Krakendoomcool]

Really late to reply sorry everyone.

 

@ Kierdale

Thank you buddy. Pretty pleased with how they came out.

 

@ mithrilforge

Thank you. Seeing Brad Glover do that smoke is what really got me interested in the project all over again and get it finished.

 

@ 01RTB01

Thank you. Yes those Flashgitz are a pain. Happy to have them finished. Up next is either finishing the Meganobz at the third time of asking. I really want to get my unit of bigger lootas done. I'm currently doing some non Ork hobby though.

 

@ Wulf Vengis

Thank you very much for the very creative 40k compliment! Sets the scene.

 

@ Ilgoth

Thank you. Really happy with that one.

 

@ Smoke Frog

Thank you! You are an Ork flyer connoisseur afterall.

 

@ Slave to Darkness

That is some compliment. Thank you very much!

 

@ Urauloth

I've also not seen anyone try to copy that colour scheme and style. It's my love of it that is making me do it. It's quite a task though. Thank you.

 

 

 

I'm not currently dong Orks but I wanted to reply and might as well post some pics at the same time. Here's some better pics of the Deffkoptas that appear at the start of the thread...

 

 

 

 

 

The last thing I was painting for the Orks was the Meganobz. These also appear at the start of this thread. I've got further with them but then hobby butterflied off to something else. Tried to apply some of the battle damage techniques I came up with when I painted the Burna Bommer.

 

 

 

When I return to Orks I will try and finally get these finished. 

 

In between lockdowns I did manage to have a few games with my Orks. 25PL games. My Burna Bommer performed well so I was happy with that. Had some pretty good games. Even played @Warbringers Deathskulls! I'd like to say it was close but I did lose that one. Good fun. Maybe next time we will team up for a big Waaagh again!

 

 

[01RTB01]

They're some awesome looking orkses :) well done for getting stuff finished :)

 

Since I last posted I've finished 3.5k of orks and same or more for necrons :D I'm currently on with my "not Emperor's children primaris honest"...
