This Week in Ork

So, needless to say I’ve been painting Orks! There was a challenge on Powerfist.dk to make a goal and stick to it for January. My goal was 5 nobz, 2 snotling bases and a weird boy. The challenge have been completed.

I’ve decided to add names to all my Orks. They’re completely individual anyway and I think it will make for even better battle reports.

This Ork has a canister of laughing gas ready to… well, make him laugh maybe?

A trusty old plasma blaster will certainly help him laughing too!

Modern day mega nobz. Not fantastic sculpts but I rather like the moon side of things.

M, O, O, N – that spells moon!

Moooooonie!

Wong is the resident weird boy of power level 2.

Another old classic sculpt. He’s from fantasy though.

LAstly there’s a couple of snotling bases. I love these. Initially I put 8 miniatures on each base (1 down from the intended 9) but it was simply too many to make it look good and not hide the buggers.

A few detail shots of the blighters.

Unlike the Orks the Snotlings are painted a bit less excessively… there are so many of them! So I start out with a drysbrush and wash to build on. I normally do not use drybrushing, but for these guys I think it works OK. I of course highlight again afterwards.
