Happy New Year, all! I've got quite a few things I'd been painting over the last few months, but never got around to posting them. I'll be putting them up throughout the next few weeks, though. Here's one I'm really happy with. The Ork flyers are a lot of fun to paint and assemble. They've got so many options to choose from, but I went with the dakkajet. I did quite a bit of experimenting on this one, and things turned out pretty okay. I based it in brown, and then drybrushed several layers of yellow with about a total of 3 highlight colors. It ended up looking way too pretty, so then I set about dirtying it up. It's a mixture of washes with browns and blacks, and stippling with browns and oranges. I went a bit overboard with the exhaust fume stains, but it adds to the orkiness of the model, me thinks. I can't really explain the method to the madness here; I just kinda went nuts. I almost went cross-eyed working on the cockpit panels, but it was worth the effort. Oh, I used some of the new Citadel technical paints on the rusted out bomb sticking out of the ground for the base. Let me know what you think.
