Starting the Year with an Ork Dreadnought

Happy New Year 


In case you had forgotten 😟.

Big Tinz - The Mega Onslaughter Dreadnought Done


Painted the dreadnought in the same speed painting method as the orks i.e. contrast paints and dry brushing. I couldn't quite remember how I painted the bases so it was a bit of a guess, but my best estimate was Blood Angels red Contrast paint then dry brushed with Bugman's Glow and finished with some light blue and gold minerals. Proving it is a good idea to write this stuff down. 

The orks storm the mining settlement with Big Tinz taking the lead. 



Some poor unfortunate get pinched. 

I enjoy creating different basing schemes for my armies and the idea for the space orks was a mining world. Something suitably different from the usual green and earth bases. 



I think Big Tinz might need a little brother and Dread Mobz has a nice ring to it. And of course I need to get these Rogue Trader space marines painted so he can have something to shot at.

  3. "Proving it is a good idea to write this stuff down." Truer words have never been written on a miniature painting blog.

    Anyway, delightful work and beautifully posed shots. I have an unpainted Ork Dreadnought that's been calling to me for a while, and I think you've finally given me the inspiration to start on it. Cheers!
