Ultramarines Movie

Unless you have been living in a cave for the past 2 months, you would know about the new Ultramarine's movie.  Well, It releases on the 29th of November, and for me that's 3 days away (I can't wait that long).  I've already ordered my copy and I strongly urge you to buy the Collectors edition from The Ultramarines The Movie Website.

If the trailer doesn't tickle your fancy then check out 40k radio's Ultramarine's Special show, it persuaded me!

Painting Tutorial: Ork Skin

If you are like me you don’t want to waste your precious money on those amazing but expensive GW paints.  As you may have noticed my current army is Orks.  As I have not yet posted any tutorials, I will be sharing my method for painting Ork skin with only two paints. 

This Money saving method is easy, and is great for people new to painting Orks.  I used this method on my first Ork and paint all my Orks the same. 

The two paints are Dark Angels Green and Goblin Green.  The Old Dark Angels green used to be a lot darker, but the new slightly brighter version is perfect for Orks Skin.  This tutorial will be explained in 4 easy steps.

Step 1:

 Basecoat DA green:

Step 2:

Mix 1:1 DA Green and Goblin Green and apply on the raised areas of the skin (muscles).

Step 3:

Mix 3:1 Goblin Green and DA green and apply over the higher levels of the skin leaving a shadowing effect.

Step 4:

Finally highlight the skin with straight Goblin Green.

This Method creates a shadowing effect to the skin and can prove to be extremely useful when batch 

painting.  I hope this tutorial has helped anyone new to Orks.

Feel free to comment any suggestions or Questions.

AoBR Burnas

I made a huge noobish mistake last month,
I bought a box of lootas and burnas, mad 2 lootas, 2 burnas and a burna mek (what the hell could they ever do in the game in such small numbers !!) I know it was really silly of me, so I tried converting AoBR boyz into another 2 burnas...

...And succeeded!! (my first ever conversion!)

Should be a lot of fun on the tabletop!

It is so simple to covert boyz into burnas,

1. Remove both arms
2. Assemble the burna as you usually would!

Hope you found this useful.

A Weekend of Orkyness

I'm sorry I've left the posting so, so, so (etc.) late. I've been so engrossed in painting my new boyz, not to mention the new display base I made. I also have been painting a couple of space marines given to me by my friend.  Here's a few photos. Keep in mind my camera is taking really bad photo's.

I'm not too happy with how these turned out : (

The display base (a really terrible photo)

The Space marines

I've had a lot of fun painting these mini's and just hope you enjoy them too.

Ork Boyz

Finally, my 10 boyz have arrived!! After a long anticitpated 21 days...
Anyway, Im not sure if anyone else does this, but before I ever batch paint, I test a paint scheme on a single miniature, take a look:

I hope the other 9 are the same!

And Here are the other nine Ork waiting da Queue:

Hoped you liked him, I'll make another post for the finished ten boyz.
Also, is it worth posting a tutorial for painting ork boyz?
