EDIT: 'ere, da forum ate most of me post.

Dese are some of da Beastpunchas, led by One-eye da Nob. Dey've been wif us sice L'Gorg made "Da Skreem", a metal an' stone Ork 'ead that really WAAAAAAAAAGHS wen ya press da big red button.

Da Beastpunchas figure only a git favoured by Gork or Mork could make such an orky fing, so dey joined Boss L'Gorg on 'is quest ta bring some proppa kultcha to da galaxy!

Got my first git painted, in time to say I finished something for Orktober! WAAAGH! Quick and dirty has been my style for a long while, kinda stuck with it but it works! 

 

Weirdboy Finish


And since this Fest is going through Nobvember, I am gonna see if I can buckle down and paint some more gits! Starting with 5 Kommandos and their Bomb Squig from the lovely Kill Team set.

Orktober comes to an end, but
Orktoberfest
continues into Nobvember!


We've had a few completions and additional pledges, and a lot of progress pics! Thank you all for your participation!

Personally, I've really enjoyed finishing a Nob on Smasha Squig, but I'm now turning to finishing the rest of my pledge to that halfway-done "battle ready" standard. Hopefully I can get it done.

Projects this big take so much time it's unbelievable. I thought for sure I'd have the Gigasquig done by now, but life has a way of making a mockery of plans.

The skin is done and the metals are back to black base. Still have the mouth, teeth/claws & weapons to tackle after that. Oy!

It does seem to be that the Bulk of the hard work is out of the way...metals are always much easier than skin (well that's what i have found :sweat: )

it looks great so far! 

 

Great work from everyone else too... i really need to book in some time (i'm thinking tonight :biggrin.: ) to get more coats of paint on my stuff and get some pics happening....

++Updated to this point++


There are less than 23 days remaining, so I hope everyone is keeping the looming end in mind! As an American, I've got to keep in mind the holiday weekend at the end of the month. Currently, we have no plans, but that can always change and suddenly I find myself losing time I thought I could cram out some painting.

Personally, I'm still a mile away from reaching battle-ready with my lot. I've got the Stormboy rokkit packs to that standard, but now need to buckle down and slap out all these models. No idea if I'll make it in time, so here's hoping.

Great Squighogs there andes :smile.:

 

Unfortunately I'm drowning in work and anxiety batch painting 30 kommandos was a terrible idea and it's this wall I seemingly can't break. Need some more waaagh power...

 

Thanks :smile.: Kommandos are rough, so much detail but you can do it. Gork and possibly Mork approve of your efforts!

Another week, more stuff painted. Well, more surface area anyway, still just a massive squig. :biggrin.:

And I got a good deal done on the weapons, including learning how to paint "heat-stained" barrels. In the end though, I wasn't feeling the main metallic color so I stripped all 3, erasing probably 8~10 hours worth of work.

The deadline here is the 30th, so I'm doing well. The main painting comp I'm entering him in ends on the 15th though so I'm truly under the gun. Last week!
