Today's update is three more members of my Space Ork crew, who also happen to reflect three different races of ork!
First up was Skabslag, another Mekboy for the crew. I figure since they are mercenaries they need both Mekboyz to keep the ship running. I gave him a gorkamorka pistol arm, and green-stuffed a shirt sleeve onto it (forgot to take pictures). Painting wise he received an orange jumpsuit, and I left the skin brown because it looked really good at the end of the undercoat stage.
Second is a gretchin named Skiz. He was a fantasy goblin that came in an ebay lot of models. He looked like such a sneaky git that I had to include him. I used some greenstuff to fill in the chainmail and make it a vest. Then I added a couple of pouches on the back so he'd have a gun. Painting wise he was done similar to the rest of the crew.
Finally we have the squig Zod! He's actually the last model I decided on for the crew. Originally I wanted a human companion to act as the face of the crew and get them jobs. After weeks being unable to settle on a good model for this, I was going to just add another gretchin. However while digging through the bits and models, I found this guy and just had to paint him up. He's all contrast and some quick highlighting (I finally got some white primer by the way!). I was going to add some additional colors... but then I thought why not keep him simple?
That brings the crew to 8. Now all we need is one last mate, and of course the captain.
Wot you after Zod? |
BONUS: Remember how I said Runt was my first greenskin? I lied.
He's a naughty boy (who lost some paint...) |
Ok I didn't lie, I just forgot I painted this guy as an objective marker decades ago. I found him recently and thought I'd include him here. So now you get all 4 races of Ork in one post!
Lovely warband you've got coming together and I love the blue Squig! It sounds like a tavern...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Could be a fun tavern... or could be a lot of trouble!
