And...done! (except the bases...)

That is it.  My first batch of Grots complete...well except the bases, but I need to collect some stuff for that.  Needless to say it will be on junk piles.

I am very happy with how these guys have turned out.  So much smaller than even a Skaven Clan Rat.  Surely this means my Orks will be even better.

Also the first time we have used my wife's new phone with the light box, and I am very impressed with the quality of the pictures.  She went free for all in the set-ups and the quirky positions are awesome...even if I am bias.

Da boss Grot, or so he finks.

Rest of da skum.

Organised as ever.

More WIP of the Grots

Nearing completion of the little light green freaks.  Very happy with their progress.
Also test greens on the Grots wrangler dude.  I like the difference between the two races.

My narrative for this army is they are initially at the bottom rung of society.  Surviving on the mere scraps from their crashed Rok,  hence the absolute derelict weaponry.

Rust ahoy!

Escalation League - Da Nurdz!

Finally been able to put some paint onto some plastic.  I have been thwarted thus far by humidity and a nasty cough.<queue sympathy>

As usual, I am trying to expand my skill horizon.  These grots have had a black prime, deathworld forest base, biel-tan green wash, and then the skill test.  Rather than dry brush on the next layer, I have attempted to do like highlight stuffs, or whatever its called.  Not getting the recesses, and paint the raised surface.

Anyway, the result is below.  What it has highlighted for me thus far, is these grots are farkin ripped!

Which way do we go?

All those hours doing crossfit seem to be paying off!

Iron Warriors contemptor

Kit bash yeah!

My first attempt at kit bashing stuff!  Yes, it does not look like much, but it is a big shoot arm from a killa kan, with two melee arm drills on it.

FEAR THE ORKSIES.

First Iron Hands squad complete!

So I have finished painting my first squad of Iron Hands. It is just a basic 20 man tactical squad. Only 70-odd infantry to go!

Old stuff is good

I find as I do more work on weathering, that I really do love old decrepid decaying buildings.  I also love rust, seeing how it forms, what it does, and the fantastic range of colours.

But that aside, more work on the Rhino, yes.  Completed work on rust, smoke damage, lenses (first for me), and base coat on the tracks.  Yes, the tracks are bone coloured, as my army is based on limestone/sand, and as such the tracks have been discoloured.

Weathering powders up next.
