I, zulu.tango, will join the Waaagh! and vow to complete 1 battle wagon, 1 big'ed boss bunker, 3 "Grot Tanks" and 2 "grot karts" before October 31st 2026. If I do this successfully, I will recieve the rank I have earned in the Waaagh! and continue rampaging across the Galaxy. If I fail, it'll just prove I'm a Snot!

Despite hobbying for 35 years, I’ve never actually painted an Ork! Having acquired Armageddon, it felt like the perfect excuse to finally put my toe in the water this Orktober, so I've cleared the decks of my other projects and been furiously assembling the last couple of days.
I’ve done a bit of minor kustomisin', but I didn't want to go completely overboard - yet, anyway! Freshly press-ganged (glue still wet) and ready for paint, 10 boyz - and a 11th test git for the paint scheme.

Due to suggestions from several forum members, I went over my vow again and added another layer of wash on my Ork Boss.

The green flesh and face received another layer of dark green wash, and the hair and the squig another layer of dark red wash.

WIP - test git was pretty successful, so he's been promoted to first boy of the squad (varnish & basing pending). The other test git had an industrial accident with his hand, so is awaiting a visit to the Mad Dok for it to be reattached and some remedial skin work.

 

I like to try a new painting thing with each new army, so for these it was chromatic underpainting - or in modern parlance, slapchop with colours. Was initially planning it for the skin only, but for a laugh I also used it for the rest of the colours, and it definitely worked IMO, my iffy edge highlighting non-withstanding.

OK, being new here I'd like to jump in but I may be throwing a curveball.  The "unit" I'm painting is the introductory set, will this count?  If so, I'm in.
