Now, normally I paint a model in one or two nights - three at the most.
This one took over a week. Whenever it seemed done I noticed a new little detail somehow overlooked. And when that was done another one came into view. And so on, and so on... There's just a lot of details on these big orks.
Anyway, blood axes are my favourite clan so perhaps it's fitting I spent some extra time on this one.
Yeah, Orks tend to be quite busy minis. Even lowly Boyz have plenty of detail to work on; that made painting 30-ork units a bit tiresome for me. Anyway, this Blood Axe fellow rocks. Job's a good 'un. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah - I hear you. Don't get me started on the plastic stormboyz... There's just so much stuff on them. I painted five and that was quite enough... Same reason I never bought any lootaz - the prospect of painting uo ten+ of those bitzbonanzas isn't very compelling...
DeleteGlad you like him!
Hi, greate paint job on all orks. Can you share how you make bases for them?
ReplyDeleteCheers mate! Its just plasticard cut to look like rocks with gw textured paint.
DeleteI love these conversions! Did you use different arms for the guns, or did you just change the position of them?
ReplyDeleteI am buying some next week to do the same thing...
Glad you like them! They all mix the Flash Gitz with the Nob kit.
