3ed squad of ork boys all done!

     This mob of boys was a big project I wanted to finish before I went back to school and it was looking bad for them for a wile but after I started hitting the washes and sponge weathering they really went fast and started coming together.
     The nob and the three boys with big shootas I am rather happy with. Tho that may be largly due to them being nicer models then the assault on black reach guys and I believe the nob is actualy from the legit nob's box.
     Any way I hope you like them next up should be my custom trukk and I think people will really enjoy that one.  

15 more boys to fill out the seckond unit

Right before the codex came out I cranked out these boys to max out the second unit. So now that leaves me with just 30 more boys to paint but then all the punishing parts of playing orks will be finished and I can happily mess around with building crazy mek inspired contraptions.

Five boys finished for the mek's unit

Nothing new or amazing hear just five boys with some blue lucky shirts so they don't get killed by the shokk attack gun the mek uses. fifteen more to go to max out that unit. If I keep doing a few hear and there It should seem less pain full to paint the tide of green skins up.  

Big Mek's shoota boys

These are the big meks personal army at least the start of them. They are the first ten of the thirty that are planed for the Meks body guard of shoota boys.

I tried to keep there gear worn a bit but I wanted to make it seem in much better shape then the rest of the army to represent how close they work with the big mek.

10 more boys part two

Not a ton of progress but I am all most done the first layer on all 10 of them.  A few more sessions and they will be fit to fight.

10 more boys

I started on 10 more boys during the power outage caused by hurricane sandy. What was done was by the light of my lantern so there is a lot of cleanup needed but that is ok.

Ten Ork boys finished

I went to finish off the first squad I did before to cap them out with the maximum of 30 total guys. not really exciting stuff as they look like the last batch. But take a look at the last picture and tell me that doesn't look like a proper horde of boys!   

500 points of orks all finished

After finishing the warboss yesterday I finaly have the base of my orks done. Now its on to expansion!

Orc batch painting part:six finely finished

well there finely finished my first squad of boys is clear coated and ready for the table top.

 I had to shoot them 5 at a time. my light box is only so big sadly but this is the fruit of my labors following the paint scheme set up in  orc-speed-painting. I cant wait to get some more done so i can start throwing dice with this army. 

Orc batch painting part:Five

The base coating is finaly finished 100% and to boot i did the wash as well. One more good session should finish them off.

Orc batch painting part:four

The boys are finally based all they need is washes and then the rust. oh and some odd little details picked out.  

Orc batch painting part:three

Just a little update I am all most done base coating. They will get done very quickly when the base coating is finished. it's just a matter of getting there 

Orc batch painting part:Two

I am still chugging away at these guys when I can and technically they are tournament legal... not that i would play them this way but they do cover the 3 color minimum plus some and are based at least some what.

Orc batch painting part:one

I know this doesn't look like much but there is a grand total of 3 hours work in on this batch of 19 orcs. So far they got sprayed green and the brown leather got its bestial brown. I have learned that 19 is a bit to much for me in one shot I am going to try 10 next after these and see if it it more manageable. For now I am going to go the distance with this batch. I think the other colors will go faster for the most part . well maybe not the black there tends to be a lot of that.... o well i will just have to keep cranking after work tomorrow.    

Orc speed painting

This guy went from primer to this in under an hour. I Plan on needing ALOT of these guys so i had to find a way to paint many of them quickly if I wanted to see the army playabil at any point in the next few years.

So hears the step by step. This is as much for my own reference as for any one who wants to replicate what i did. So hear we go.
step 1: prime black
step 2: spray krylon leafy green over most of it but mostly to get the skin based 

step 3: base coat brown= bestial brown
                            black= chaos black 
                            red= khorne red
                            silver=boltgun metal
                            gray= Codex grey
                            the base is painted Dark flesh rimed chaos black

step 4: add some streaks of codex gray to the black cloth to show scuffs and damage  
step 5: washes  silver gets washed Badab black
                         red armor, leather, black cloth and gray fir all get Devlan mud also the base gets a bit
                         green skin gets washed Thraka green

step 6: add khorne red details to the gun and any other places needed
           then stipple on bestial brown followed by blazing orange on the large surfaces of the metal like the sword and gun to show rust
           Finally add white tips to the fur rim on the hat and painted the stitches bleached bone the teeth are also bleached bone.
          also paint large sand pieces on the base codex gray and dry brush a little graveyard earth wile you are at it.

and that is what I will be replicating again and again to get this army painted but it should be worth it to see a fully painted hoard charging across the board. The big guys and more interesting units will get more attention then this but it should be good enough for a normal guy.
