So I now have even MORE motivation. Apparently no one thinks I can get this done. Yeah, its probably insane I even decided to do this, let alone start it, but still. Really? You're going to outright tell me, to my face, I won't get done.
WRONG!!!
I'll show you guys!
But seriously. It IS a challenge. That's just how I roll in the hobby. I just get to point and laugh at everyone when I AM done 1250pts of orks in less then a month.
Now, on a more positive note... progress!
1. Got more orks! I needed more orks to finish off my list and got all but two of them today. I am waiting on a Banner Nob and a Kombi Scorcha. Green Feevah is helping me out with the Nob! Another local guy has bitz for the scorcha.
2. Got metals done quite a bit. If you read Day 4, you'll see my recipe. I am up to the wash on all of them now. So yeah, I got some progress done on the painting.
3. Started building the Battlewagon!
Day 6: I will be putting the wash on the metals at the very least. Hoping after that I can start all the cloth. I am thinking a heavy drybrush of grey, wash black and blammo, done. Also thinking of doing brown: Scorched Brown, Bestial Brown, Graveyard, Snakebite, wash brown to tie it in. The black cloth idea goes way faster though. Thoughts?
I personally am a fan of the black clothing, as it makes the skin pop, and it gives them (the orks) a more sinister, bad guy feel. When I started Orks way back when, I gave them red shirts (get it?) and it was certainly brighter on the table, but at the same time, it looked very cartoony.
ReplyDeletePerhaps take a look at what Doompickle is doing with his Orks and do something similar, to tie the two armies together?
