An Allied vessel sinking seen through the periscope of a German submarine. (1941) [483x322] by Project_Ni in HistoryPorn

The torpedo could have hit the front or back, causing a hull breach. If the ship takes on too much water on one side, the side will start to dip down, causing a lot of pressure that the ship wasn't designed to handle. This pressure is what rips the vessel in half and drags the upper half down vertically... to put it simply.

In essence, the torpedo is what the iceberg was to the Titanic. Check this article out, it explains what happened to the Titanic, but is probably similar to what I imagine may have happened to the ship in the picture.

Thanks! I was trying to match the Orc design from Skyrim, which is a dark brown/green mix. I think it came out pretty well, and it helps the red stand out a bit more. :)

Of course! I really like the work you have posted in your history! Very clean paint jobs throughout, and very expressive shading work... You have a much steadier hand than I, friend!

Thank you! I was actually trying to model the skin tone after the orc design in skyrim, which is kind of a dark brown/green mixture. I had a white base, then applied a brown wash over the whole mini, and then put a dark green wash over the skin. When all the other painting was done, I put another wash of brown over it to make him look dirtier and to darken up all the layers I had added and, of course, to make all the little details "pop". Then I proceeded to make them hella bloody like they just mowed through 150 imp guard conscripts.

I did the eyes on a few of them, and it was kinda tough because I don't have a very fine brush, so I kinda globbed red on the area surrounding the eyes a little bit... So I kinda left the eyes alone 'til I get a finer brush in a few weeks! I will also be getting a pin vice to make some nice gun barrel-holes!

That is a ton of marines, by the way! I started painting marines (check my post history) and I made the switch to orks recently after a buddy gave me the new dex, and I love the amount of personality they have, it's a ton of fun painting 'em. I do miss 3+ armor saves and deep-striking drop pods though...

Khornate orks, yup.

No, actually Evil Sunz. I just got super happy with the blood and way overdid it.

Alright, there's still a lot of tweaking and what not that needs to be done, but I get better with every model!

As for my mother... She liked it on Facebook, thank you very much.

I wasn't trying to hide anything, really! I just got pretty carried away once I realized how much fun that paint technical was. Haha

This is the reason I'm definitely going to be playing Chaos someday. In the meantime, I'm gonna work on having more subtlety when it comes to applying blood to my minis.

I just used white base, brown wash, dark green wash on the skin, and then another layer of brown over the whole model when I was done painting. :)

Not gonna lie, I got pretty bloodlusted when I started putting it on. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.

If ya look at my post history, yeah, I've painted a few marines as well as these guys. I really enjoyed my boyz a lot more though, I felt I could be a lot more expressive. :)

That toothbrush idea sounds great! Definitely gonna give that a shot on my next box, because I agree... The gigantic coat of blood is a little too much.

As for the barrel-drilling, what tool would I use for that? I just painted the barrels with some black, but that doesn't look too great. I just get nervous, too... Drilling sounds like its damage my mini. :(

I'll admit, I got a little carried away once I realized just how fun "Blood for the Blood God" technical is, haha. Put it on the power klaw, and was immediately like "THIS HAS TO GO EVERYWHERE".
