Well, finally got my klawz on this board. Nice to see a green board.
Instead of making one of these "hello im new" threads Iīll start with my ongoing project. Oh, I dont like Orks with C instead of K so Iīll stick with the Space Ork spelling. Orcs are saved for Lord of the Ring.
I started to load up all my pics over at dakkadakka, but havent started a O&G blog there, because my old one is still in the need for updates
The army includes:

- Gorbad
- Grimgork
- Some customized bosses
- BSB Blackork
- 29Black Orks
- 10 Boarboys
- ~70 Ork Warriors
- 40 Nightgoblins
- 10 Spiderrider

Complete army [WIP]

Boarboyz


Blackorkz
to the left the ones close to get finished and to the right the ones one session before the other ones.



Single shots and bosses








More pictures about the whole process up to today can be found over at dakka. But I dont want to spam tons of pics here to start with. Iīll update this one with the latest pictures tomorrow. So far the pics aint the best but Iīll try to make better ones for - at least for the models close to be finished.

It looks like a nice start, welcome on Da Warpath

Welcome to da warpath. Looks like you've gotten a good start on your army. Looking forward to updates.

Thanks for the flowers/mushrooms

Little update with my boarboyz. Still need to get my hands on the new digicam.
Damn weather was so great the last days I didnt spend much time painting
Hmm, the pics could be a little sharper it seems. Will try to get some better shots after dinner.

Another shot, seems to be better

Wow, the stuff looks good! Welcome to Da Warpath, where the green things go to mob up!

However, with all the stuff jumbled up it's actually hard to see what is finished. Everything is good-looking so far.

Nothing finished yet

This is my 2nd O&G army and my 5th WHF army and it will be finished soon - hopefully.
Once there is finished stuff I will make clearly state it as finished.
Forget to post my "painting station" a little mess from time to time but thatīs a mans doom with that much room.
To the right thereīs another table but hey, I have some Space Orkz and other non green stuff to paint *shudder*
10years of hardcore collecting will mess thing up a bit.



If the weather aint that great tomorrow I will hopefully finish my Blackorkz and may get another grip on the boarboyz as well.

Another update. My first rank from my "Immortalz".

Still not finished - was planned but meh, too much work and blacklining is a little mess for me it seems. ~10years of "cheating" with a micropen doesnt helps with blacklinig using a brush first time
The pics are a bit blurry but I hope itīs ok.

I like the hooked hand on the Boar Boss!

And the rest looks equally good ^^

Thanks

Summertime aint the best time for me to paint. Too much "outwork" goin on and so my painting sessions are mostly eaten by commission works.
Anyway, some progress on my first Ork Warriors rank were done plus my nightgoblin filler tent got a base color - all credits to one of the Warpath members here with the awesome gobbo blog whoīd driven me into the idea of using that old tent for a filler.

Another update for da warpath.
The lone rider will be my solo W-Boss if I ever run one. I crumbled through my O&G bitzbox and put together what looked like it could fit. Well, hard to tell whatīs what with that black base coat

The boarboyz are in the last phase - finally and my first 2ranks of ork warriors as well.
The pink one is gorbad the old one not the finecasted. Started with a mix of red and grey to get a flat (3thinned layers) base coat of sth reddish on him. From that I can work up my real red for the armor and stuff. White base coat is not mine at least not for orkz so I have to go for some in between steps to get a bright and real red looking colour.

Finally I had some time to get my hands on the O&G army again!
Hopefully I have them all ready for the Christmas Stompin

Wow, your army is going to look amazing and red is always good

These are awesome! How do you do your metal? i like the muted look it's got

Thanks and yes, I hope it will look good enough to distract my opponents
The list isnt competitive at any means but I had some good success until now. Itīs all about stomping everyone or failing at the doing so and coming back another day with more boyz and since my army is a bit themed towards Grimgork I need a lot of Blackorkcs and red throusers of course, cause red is best and my mobz will be "Da red pants" and "Da redder pants" one needs an excuse for the animosity cause one will always mess around with the other pants are redder and the mob will get stinky. Thatīs the plan at least until I finally realise that freehand pants on banners aint my thing.

I did metal for the BOīs/Grimgork etc. as following:

1. Black basecoat
2. Tinbitz or sth. similiar for the first layers
3. Drybrushing with boltgun metal
4. A couple of thin layers with a mix of brown,yellow and black ink in a 2:1:1 mix
5. Drybrushing the higher/not shadowed parts again with boltgun metal
6. A couple of thin layers with a mix of brown,yellow and black ink in a 2:1:1 mix
7. Finally some edge highlightning with silver. Itīs more for the effect on the table than beeing real highlights though.

For the default steel/iron metal Iīm using the same steps except the second one.
All colours are watered down 2:1 colour:thinner and applied in several layers.
