AFK Full Army Painting 2nd Quarter – Deffkilla Wartrike
My first entry for the 2nd quarter is complete! To stay on pace, all I need to finish next is three Warbikes, which are ready to begin!
Squighog Boys – AFK Year Long Army, 1st Quarter Complete!
The Squighog Boys are ready for WAAAAGH! Gitsmasha!
I painted the Squighogs in a style reminiscent of a tiger shark. The bottom 1/3 is Apothecary White while the top is Space Wolves Grey with Basillicanum Grey stripes.
The various pelts on the boys were painted using some of the reject colors that didn’t make it to my main paint scheme, but it ended up paying off by making the pelts look similar but just different enough from the main scheme.
Because this was the last unit in my 1st quarter queue, here is all of Q1!
Next: Legion Imperialis Kratos to round out previous Kratos squads and finish my obligations for March!
Ork Boys Squad – AFK Army Challenge 1st Quarter
Included in these lads is the Ork I used as my model for the paint scheme.
Next: March Large Model challenge – a Redemptor Dreadnought, then Squighog Boys and one more selection of Legion from the box set to cover March!
Gargatok Gitsmasha, the grumpiest Ork Warboss – AFK Year Long Painting Challenge
The Warlord for my 2000 point army is complete! Gargatok strides into battle with my first Blood For The Blood God effect.
Next: Legion Imperialis infantry, and that clears me for February! After that anything I paint for the Orks or LI puts me ahead of schedule!
Year Long Painting Challenge – Ork Meganobz and finalized paint scheme
The first entries for my first quarter part of the year-long army painting challenge at AFK are complete!
First: one Ork boy, the finalized prototype for my paint scheme:
Recipe: Slapchop over black primer with Administratum Gray and then Pro Acryl white. Skin is Mantis Warriors green. Armored areas are Asurmen Blue. Cloth is Gore Grunta Fur, Frostheart, or (not shown) Basillicanum Gray. Metal is Duncan’s Sir Coates Silver with Nuln oil wash. Teeth and nails are Skeleton Horde. Rust effects are Dirty Down Rust. Hand painted checks and dags in Pro Acryl White. Bases are a coat of Rhinox Hide with technical Agrellan Earth and Pro Acryl black on the rims. Plants are Gamer Grass.
With those basic colors, behold the first completed unit: Five Meganobs!
These old pewter minis may not be as capable in close combat as the new plastic ones with killsaws, but they still hit like a freight train and have decent shooting in the Taktikal Brigade. Plus they are SOLID pewter which means that if they can’t, they can simply be thrown at the opponent for maximum damage.
That being said, these old sculpts are LOUSY with wires. There’s wires everywhere! I spent a whole day finding and picking out wires to make the details pop.
Next: Gargatok Gitsmasha himself in Mega Armour!
