Making a fist of Indomitus

I got a copy of the new kill team box, and choose to start with the terrain, this got a base coat of leadbelcher, and then different panels picked out with assorted metallics. The whole thing got a black wash which dried a lot darker than I anticipated, then picked out the ork glyphs in different colours as well as a few black panels.

Lastly it was weathered with ryza rust, dry brushed with leadbelcher and then necron compound.

Basing the orks was a bit more of a challenge than I thought, but I have most of the beast snaggas done now, just the speed freaks to go. After the last step the bases are painted Oak brown (a step I regret now but ho hum), then dry brushed with monster brown and then some army painter summer undergrowth is stuck on around the clumps.

These babies have been sitting on the shelf since speed freaks came out. So its finally time to blow the dust off them.

I’ve changed tact on the basing as I cant find a nice set of bases I like, so I’m going to go for a jungle base. These are my first efforts, hot glue aquarium plant leaves the base then some pva with some army painter basing material.

The plan is to paint it brown with then add some green flock, maybe a tuft or two.

The Snaggas are all painted up, they just need basing now. I’ve 3d printed some bases and I’ll paint one up to see what that looks like.

I had these boys sitting around forever so I though nows the time, one of them has lost his back banner and there should be squig on the bosses base, which I’m sure I’ve seen recently but cant find now.

The yellow is Iyanden Yellow with an edge highlight of Flash Gitz Yellow.

The ones below are the first batch of beast snagga’s

I as lucky enough to get my hands on a box of beast snaggas, and I thought I would fish out my other orks from the pile of shame piller of pride and have a go at painting them up.

This is my finished test model (so old its on the wrong size base), I went for blue squigs just to be different.

The squig lothern blue, the a drakenhof nightshade wash and then highlighted with lothern blue again and final highlight of blue horror. Its mouth is wraithbone with the tongue volupus pink and teeth skeleton horde with a white highlight. The squigs hair is talassar blue and the claws are terradon turquoise both over wraithbone.

The ork skin is orruk flesh with biel-tan green wash and then highlighted with orruk flesh and and final highlight of krieg khaki. The leather straps are snakebite leather over wraithbone and the dark leather glove is Wyldwood with the fur over the shoulders is space wolves grey also over wraithbone.

His pants are baneblade brown with a agrax eathshade wash and then highlighted with baneblade brown and a final highlight with karak stone. The metal work is leadbelcher with nuln oil wash and highlighted with silver. The whip is aggaros dunes and the wood of the staff is gorthor brown.

The boots are black with the mechanicus standard grey highlight and the eyes are mephiston red and mouth and teeth are done the same as the squig

Sorry for the portrait shots, I always forget that. I am still still looking for a basing scheme so any suggestions are welcome.

Finished this a while back but haven’t got around to putting it up. Pretty standard paint job.

Finally got a new base and finished the monolith off, not sure what happened with matt finish on the outside, maybe another coat of varnish.

I also managed to finish these while I was waiting for the base.

Well the monolith is complete mostly, it still needs some varnish and a base which now looks more like a pringle after I tried to flatten it by heating it up with some hot water and clamping it flat. Another one is on its way so hopefully that will be complete soon.
