The Eternal Growing Process Of My Waagh, new painted big'uns :D

Thanks Kees, I'll be really glad if you follow my plog, it's also thanks for the feedback you guys give me that I keep staying motivated
Anyway I'm painting a lot this week, a big'un every evening, and that's a record for me.
I'll post some orcs tonight or maybe tomorrow

The renown of Zork's Rompizkatolez arrived to the mysterious shores of Lustria, where those big'uns literally chopped to pieces whole regiments of primitive sauri in one day and one night. The orcs of the regiment are all old and each of them can boast decades of experience of fighting, looting and violence in general: every guy has some sort of personal debt with the big boss Zork, since unlike many orcs he is not uncaring towards the fate of his troops, and several times his huge choppa has had to parry blows of bronze and stone for one of the boys. The saurus captain Karanatl's head adorns the horrid banner, along with a large gold skull raided from the Amazons, who had covered it in anathems, but they proved not really effective, judging from the continuous victories of the terrible unit of orcs who carry it.

This is how I'm keeping my project for AoP alive. I'm managing to paint an orc every night, which is a promising rhythm for me. The raider with torch is a great model, I did not want to risk with OSL, since I've never done it before: I want to practice on some useless models first. The first rank is finally complete, now we are missing four more ranks xD I also painted a couple of models from the behind, including my conversion Varag, another beautiful model completely ignored.
The photos, as usual, are not so good, but better than usual.

Love the character of this unit and how you improved your paint work

The big'uns look good so far. Keep up the great work.

Cheers,

Great diversity of different figures and stuff! I love the woodcolour. How did you do it?

grtz,

Kees

I second the question, how do you weather your wood colour?

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like them ^^
The wood colour is actually really simple to achieve, I used a Lifecolor color as a basecoat, it's quite similar to the old Graveyard earth, then I washed it with lots of thinned devlan mud, making sure that I shade mostly the lower part. When dry, I re-applied the base color as an highlight, only in the upper half, and then I mixed the color with some Dheneb stone and re-highligted the top ^^ The magic of Devlan Mud The secret is to keep it quite thinned, so it doesn't create ugly pools for the checkers I used dheneb stone as a base color for the "white" and a really dark grey for the black
