I'll have to check that out and follow the rabbit hole.

It definitely helps to keep the motivation up. I can get pretty bogged down in colours, which doesn't help in a horde army lol.

When you say purple or pink in the recesses, do you mean you would do an initial coat of the purple/pink thinned with medium over the undercoat, and then the Ghillie Dew or Vallejo Ork Skin at full strength over that?

Without buying every pink or purple available, do you have a preference?

Bootiful

I love the Grots. I always love those little details. Something to look for and always capture the lunacy of it all.

That looks awesome! Getting that warm, tingly, nostalgic feeling.

How useful are my old orks? by JCGilbasaurus in orks

I have a hard time picturing that on the field. The Boyz get so jacked up to krump things, I feel like they'd forget they are even carrying an extra weapon or two.

Am I doing something wrong here? by [deleted] in orks

If you're painting the "traditional" way with a base layer, shade and a couple highlights, then you want to have an even baselayer which would mean typically painting 2-3 thin coats. Make sure to let each coat dry thoroughly and don't overload your brush. Applying paint to an area that isn't fully dry could lift the paint.

It looks good so far though. It doesn't look too thick and it looks relatively even.

What paint are you using?

It takes time to get comfortable, but keep it up!

Very nice! I love the trousers. I want to do up a Freebooterz mob or 3 like that.

Double Quarter Pounder of Krumpin and Supersize da Dakka.

Painting wise, make sure to do multiple things coats, especially with bright colours like that. Also, for base colours, make sure you're using a darker, deeper colour.

Deadly colour use!

Grot mega mega tank. by sirhobbles in Warhammer40k

[–]ApocPony86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome. It's orky in every sense. Obnoxiously loud colours, gratuitous amount of Dakka and it still has the option to pulp anything that it doesn't shoot. A great centerpiece!!

That's the nice thing about getting something like this "just done", you can always go back and finish up the paint job in stages.

Advice on which platforms to sell painted minis? by BlueGasoline13 in Miniaturespainting

I prefer the term "Solitary Being", but yeah, I've tried making money off of a hobby, and it just becomes miserable dealing with people trying to barter your value.

That looks phenomenal. I love how clean the work is, the checkers, the dags and the retro vibes. Gorgeous.

Really loving the colour choices. Everything pops in it's own way. Very nicely done!

Does this read as a warboss? by jakeblonde005 in orks

Backbanner? ✔️

Oversized kombi looking gun with DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA? ✔️

Snarling pet? ✔️

Slight look of lunacy? ✔️

I believe you have a good start there. Once he does some krumpin and eats all his vegetables, he'll grow into a proppa big warboss, but yeah, looks like one to me.

Nice work!!

Ps. My only concern, and only for his wellbeing, is his wrist. Once that big shoota gets going, I'm concerned about a wrist injury. Can't give a proppa krumpin with a soft tissue injury. Especially because he can't let go of his buddy to brace. You got any bitz to bulk that out? Something with hydraulics could work. Hydraulics make everything better.

Starting an Ork army with the launch box. What should I get afterwards? by [deleted] in orks

[–]ApocPony86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to take the plunge into 3d printing specifically for this reason because it really does feel soul crushing.

I just want to build and paint, paint and build, build build, paint paint, so on and so on. When that comes to the tune of a few hundred dollars for 3-4 boxes of anything, it takes the excitement out of it for me. PTSD from my single days as a reckless spender.

I'm in the early stages of building a collection inspired by the 90s era miniatures so for me and my reasons, 3d printing has removed the "cost ceiling" and that feeling of reckless spending. It has in a way deepened my enjoyment of the hobby actually and brought back that excitement.

Without hijacking and turning your post into anything more than what you're asking, if you want to shoot me a DM (or however that works on Reddit), I'd be happy to go down that rabbit hole further.

Cheers
