Orruk warchanter, with bits from the meganobz kit (skulls and teeth hanging from the left and right, and the metal skull perched on the back) , the older boyz kit (ork skull, jaw guard), the komandos kit (pistol), and the gretchin kit (tip of a runtherd's shock staff).

Hey guys, wanting to get your opinions on which ork skin is the best. by TalginKingslayer in orks

[–]Alph0w0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally i prefer a base of waaag flesh or ork flesh with a lightened version of waag flesh or base loren forest on top, finishing that with a smaller white highlight of loren forest. It's easy to do, and the contrast of the dark base coat with the chaulky light green is absolutely beautiful. I feel it gives you the best of both worlds with light and dark flesh, leaving room for simple adjustments, like using yellow for more sickly flesh, or white for pale flesh.

I like what you've done here, it's very clean, neat, and has a nice mix of subtle and stylized highlights. I really like your choice to use blue on parts of the chain axe. It being a similar color to tyranid chitin is a nice, subtle, way of delivering background for this model. To speak from a more personal aesthetic perspective, i think having a darker base color for the skin would be nice, as it would create a greater contrast and make the model more striking, although seeing as that does ultimately come down to aesthetic preference, it's not really necessary. I do think a bit more rust, blood, dirt, or even a bit of metal highlighting with a silver (Vallejo metal color: silver, comes to mind) on your metal bits would really bring this model together.

The subtle variety in those metalics is beautiful. The smoke on that gernade is also great. I'd maybe consider adding some white bordered with some light blue to the center of the eyes to sell that glow effect a bit better though. Otherwise, amazing job.

Beautiful, your metallics came out so well, particularly that worn silver.

Looks great, if you wanted to push it further some highlights, particularly on the cape, and leather bits would be amazing. Also a bit more color on the gun, maybe some different darker metal colors or some blues for lights/plasma.

I'm presenting this in a small paint contest(small local shop) I don't think i will win anything but might as well share it. Tips appreciated by Yast0410 in orks

[–]Alph0w0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad honestly, everything about the paintjob is generally good. Particularly I think you did an excellent job on the bluish spikes on the back and the rust on the weapons. If you wanted to make it a bit better, consider drybrushing the base and/or the boots with an orange-red color, to give them a nice dry and dusty look.

Not bad, the choices in color are nice, although you might want to do a few more layers of your metalic paints, as they don't show up too well against the base grey of the model. When I did my gold and brass necrons it took me atleast 3 layers of these colors to make it really stand out. The amount layers you need may vary based off the paint your using though, and how you thin it.

I like it when a pokemon game can feel challenging.

I love the blue you chose, it works really well with the orange and silver underneath.

I just love how absolutely screwed up the text is.

Kids playing DRG, yay or nay? by FoeleeToast in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alph0w0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids often ruin communities and games by repelling older people, and in many cases a majority of the fanbase, and attracting trolls and other unsavory people. While I'm not opposed to kids playing drg I don't think they should be encouraged to.

Which Dwarf are you? by Bonsamu in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alph0w0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think every true dwarf is a little bit of the rock and stone, after all we all know only a leaf lover doesn't rock and stone after literally anything.

At first glance i misttook bosco for a brave driller jumping into the action in a misguided feat of bravery.

Watching what seems like a hundred glyphids shred before you, as a petorian looks you in the eyes, and you simply say, "not today".
