Laz's Extended Waaagh

Firstly, a Thankyou to the Community and the Crew. It was great to have been included in the Awards for this year. It was very motivating, and it made for a fantastic extra Grotmas Gift 🙂 So Thankyou very much 🙂

Now Onto the Update!

Ebay had me in its grips this Dakkacember, so I’ve been awaiting these additions to the horde eagerly. I came across a Warboss in Mega Armour and an Ork Weirdboy, both from the same seller. The Warboss was unfinished, and the Weirdboy had a lovely classic paint job with a well-arranged base. Paid less than £18 for both with delivery, was a no-brainer.

The Warboss was just in need of some shading, a little highlighting and some neatening/roughing up. I don’t think they had quite reached the shading stage, so I applied the usual in the usual spots, and it was already starting to look a little more Orky and defined. They had started a bloodstained job on the big choppa, but it had a slightly too pink appearance, so I slapped on a little Citadel Blood Effect just to cover over some of that pink and added some more splatter. Not usually one for adding gore effects, but they had already started the job, so why not?

I applied some Coelia Greenshade to the Warboss to darken down his shade to bring it more in line with my horde, and the same in reverse to lighten/brighten up the Grot firing from his shoulders with some Ork Skin Speed Paint. A little layering over those, then the base, this one not so complete, so I gave it what has become standard for this project, a fine sand base.  Still some work to do on this guy, but happy with him as it stands.

The Weirdboy is something else altogether, very well finished and with a lovely classic style. It does, however, struggle to read well at a distance, especially his accompanying grot hangerson, who cascade down the back of the model. The basing arrangement is likewise very nice and perfectly acceptable. I’m reticent to make any changes at all as of yet, but I think I may have to rework the Grots and perhaps some of the other colours to give it a bit more table presence and a better read on the table.

Also a Deffkilla Wartike 🙂 Very dusty and previously loved, but all there and just in need of some cleaning up and maybe a fresh spray of primer. My Snazzwagon from Combat Patrol still is a no-show, so I had to treat myself to something on wheels.

Something to get on with, huzzah!

Still working on the Nobs and Big Mech, and now plenty more for after 🙂
