The Ork Walkers Krump On, Magfest 2015, Revised LVO List

1/28/2015

Comments

 
Welcome back friends!  It's been a crazy hectic week.  I was able to hit up all the walkers with a purple pass, including the stompa.  So now every one of the walkers is at the same state in paint!  I also attended Magfest 2015, played some x-wing, and changed my LVO list to be "friendlier".

Lets start off with Magfest, since that is the freshest thing in my mind.  Magfest is a video gaming convention held in the National Harbor at the Gaylord hotel.  It is similar to an east coast "pax lite".  There is a room full of arcade cabinets, another room with console and indie games, a tabletop section, and multiple concert and panel halls.
Magfest has grown steadily in the past few years, and now is easily hosting over 10,000 gamers, tabletopers, and cosplayers.  I mainly just hung out with the FYN crew, played a few games, went to the powerglove concert, and played some xwing.  I was hoping to catch a 40k game or two, but they didn't have the table there this year.
One thing I noticed the second I stepped into magfest...I'm starting to stand out as the old guy.  I'm 38 and I'd say the average magfest age range is in the mid-upper 20's.  Boy does it feel weird.  After attending Nova, I feel the tabletop crew seems to be a better fit for me these days.  (I'd say nova's average age range was mid 30's. I felt right at home there).  Maybe its because there is the need to actually have disposable income that pushes the 40k crowd up higher...and also gives them a wonderful sense of "personal hygiene" (no con funk).  I think next year I might just stop by magfest for the day, instead of making a weekend of it.  But enough about Greg getting older and changing his likes and dislikes! On to the Orks!

This week on the ork channel, I hit up all the models with a transparent coat of purple in the darker areas.  This was to add a bit of subtle color pop, and also because purple is very commonly found in rust.  Here is a lovely example from Jamie over @ Sons of Sotha!

I wanted the dark sections to have some color to them, as well as the lighter sections.  Lets see how it turned out!
Fiddling around with the gallery today, to see if it resolves an issue with mobile devices.   

It's definitely hard to see the effect the purple has on the models.  So lets take a closer look.

I'm big boned.
Some harsher lighting...but now you can definitely see the purple tones!  I gotta say, the stompa was probably one of the best models I could have started airbrushing on.  It's given me a ton of practice with paint thinning, and how to control the brush.

The next step is mixing is spraying down the oranges.  I haven't quite gotten this down yet.  Will have to decide if I want to do some ryza rust or powders for the orange...right now it's not laying down the same way the purple did...but it could just be my inexperience.  I'm also testing it on one of the kans, which are the least useful for testing, as they have very little surface area.  Now that I look at it in the photo, ti doesn't look so bad.
Picture
The edge highlight is me fiddling with Ryza rust.
I also have decided I will be using chipping fluid instead of salt on these guys.  One of the issues I'm running into with the salt is that if you prematurely brush it off, it will expose the effect, making it possible to accidentally paint over it.  The chipping solution is more akin to the hairspray technique, where you use water to dissolve the upper paint layer.  So I can still paint some metallics  (with a normal brush) to add contrast to the rust colors.  I'm going to be using Vallejo's chipping medium to do this (airbrushed on).  If anyone has any advice with using this, please "chip" in!

Last but not least!  This is my final LVO list.  I noticed in their faq's that they had swapped around the custom stompa stuff, so I wanted to just go head and use the codex stompa to be as fair as possible.  This cost a buttload of points, so I had to shift some things around (and drop the formation).  So now it's just pure unbound walker fun!  The best part? It's 100% WSIWYG!  No counts as stuff!  Reece just approved the list, so I'm good to go!

Well that is it for this week folks!  I wanted to do more, but Magfest took up a huge chunk of time.  And now I'm a bit worried because it won't get above 0C for a few more days, so I can't spray. (Needs to be 0C or higher to heat the garage).  I'll figure something out!  Hope you all had a great weekend and have a good week!
