More Wip, Color, Basing, Daemon Ork??! LVO Final List.

10/8/2014

Welcome back amigos!  I got caught up some endless legend (I'm a sucker for 4x games) so didn't get as much done this week.  Plus mordor is out, and the new alien game sounds great.  There goes my painting time!
Picture
Slowly getting a hang out of this stuff. I quite like how these look.
Started out making some bases again.  figured I'd try some random floors and grit this time, on some 40mm bases.  Give me a bit more room to work in, and maybe help me to figure out color schemes.
One major difference you should be noticing at this point (especially in the last few posts), is how I suddenly have a palette, and I'm mixing colors and such.  That's all thanks to James Wappels videos.  Bursts of color all over the place.  I still haven't quite figured it out, but I'm trying my best, and will keep practicing and making crazy things until I do.

PictureThis method of painting is a lot of fun. I'm really just painting, not really thinking about what I'm doing.
Throwing down some color.  I think this is rhinoX, Mourfang, and baneblade browns all mixed together.  This is both experiments in using a palette, thinning paints (I'm still thinning them too much I think), and mixing everything up for tones.

Picture
A shot off the palette.  Realized the white might be washing things out a bit in the photos.

PictureI was having fun with the blues!
I skipped ahead a bit here, but all the blue/grey colors are P3 paints.  After I found out they use a liquid pigment (one of the only paints in our ranges to do so), I picked up a few boxes to try them out.  (They are also really cheap!, like 2 bucks a pot shipped). So far I'm liking them.  Their real application is for airbrush mixing, as the liquid pigment means they thin really well.  I'm hoping to use them for the main base stages of the ork vehicles.

PictureWhen you see shots like this, it's always with a Nikon D5300 on a tripod with an F1.8 35mm Prime at F10, 400 Iso, with a remote shutter.
I'm also trying to not use black or white to adjust the colors.  I'll use a really bright cream color, or a very dark brown instead.  It's definitely a change!  Here's a final shot of where they sit right now.  This is pre-wash/powders.  Should have post wash powders for a post on Friday.


You are probably wondering...when are you going to start painting some Daemon orks?  Well you are in luck!  I just happened to have a suitable metal nob sitting around that makes a perfect candidate.
PictureI think I had the paint a bit too wet on the upper stages, which caused me to lose a lot of contrast.
Since he's metal, it will be easy to strip and repaint him multiple times, till I find the formula I want to use.  This is a brown to red to orange slow build up.  Once again, no washes yet (that's the final stage).  

So he's brighter then will be @ the final stage.  James shaded basecoat technique started to click at the end of this model, when I accidentally mixed some red and brown into the blues, and it started looking awesome. 


 I had to stop though (just gave myself a two hour window last night).   I tend to get a bit carried away when I paint, and suddenly four hours are gone.  (It's a great problem to have :) )

PictureWoo! Palette!
My favorite shot when I was finished.  Seeing so much color just makes me happy!

Speaking of orks, I sent and had my LVO Friendly event approved.  The friendly event allows anything (even unbound), so I went simple.  Dread mob + Custom Stompa.  All walkers, 17 models on the table.  I tried to setup a list which contained elements from my tuska list, so I could work towards both at the same time.  (I'll continue painting the tuska list, and those models which fit into the LVO list will just joint it).


I think this because I didn't think I could finish the Tuska list in a few months, and really want to do an amazing job on it.  To finish the LVO list, I just have to buy a single stompa, and paint the stompa, two gorks, a deff dread, and finish some old killa kans.  Much smaller to do list!

Kustom Stompa:
Flamebelcha (Hull) (str 6, ap3, hellstorm)
Titan Close Combat Weapon (Str D, AP1)
Deff Kannon (Str 10, Ap1, Massive Blast 7", 72")
+ 
Gigashoota (Str 6, AP4, 6D6, "48")

(Put the actual weapon specs, cause I had no idea what they did either)
Basically the stompa is more of a fun stompa.  No ranged D.  The hellstorm isn't much worse then a heldrake, and the massive blast...well that will probably kill more of my stuff then anything else!


Dread Mob: (D3 hammer of wraths)

Big Mek with Super Forcefield (4++ for the stompa, making him a super knight)
Painboy (because they make you take him)

2x Gorkanauts (with grot riggers)
3x Deff dreads (two with rokkits, one with skorchas) [all with grot riggers]
9x killa kans (two set rokkits, one set grotzookas)


Simple, and I won't have to buy two different transport containers.  That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by guys! Love the comments!  Have a great Wednesday!
