ChrisP's Orks - January - Rank and File Month 1

War Buggy with heavy plasma gun - 50pts

Deathskull Nob with bolter and chainsword - 18pts 

6 Lootas with 3 kustom kombi-weapons, 2 heavy plasma guns and 1 autocannon - 185pts 

 

Really happy with how this lot turned out. I stuck to my new year's resolution to paint for at least a few minutes every day, and I think it paid off. The buggy was fairly straightforward - I looked for some good examples online, and brought in the elements I liked most. Deathskulls can be more of a struggle, since it's easy to make them very visually confusing, so I stuck to a limited pallette for the clothing. There's also a little tribute to my Deathskull wierdboy from a a couple of years ago, with his pinkish sunglasses. I hardly ever risk freehand work, but I have no regrets this time.

Chris P's Leader Month - The Boss and The Weirdness

Warlord with powersword and bolter: 74

Weirdboy and minderz: 85 

Total 159pts

 

This month was a chance to push the boat out, and see how much character I could capture in these glorious old models. The practice I got painting Goffs last month certainly helped me tackle the greatest Goff of them all, and the weirdboy was an excuse to break out all the colours. I started with a basic Deathskull blue and gray, and built up a violent motley outfit for this wonderfully miserable psyker.

 

I've also finished my tribute mini, which I'll be sending to Ben Fletcher soon.
