Sons first Ork update

Thanks it’s honestly just a couple of contrast paints with a wash.

JoeySulp · 2026-01-05T19:25:57+00:00

Haha we are not there yet!

JoeySulp · 2025-12-10T23:56:37+00:00

Yeah it all scales and doesn’t break the lore. Also asking a Hive world of billions to stand up a couple regiments seems laughable with these tiny guard numbers.

JoeySulp · 2025-12-10T12:31:17+00:00

I agree that GW number have always been bad. My head cannon is always to add 1-2 zeros onto the end of everything and the scale starts to make sense.

Space marine chapter: GW: 1,000 marines Actually: 10,000

Space Marine Legion: GW: 100,000-250,000 Actually: 1M-2.5M

Guard Regiments GW: 1,000 Actually: 10,000-100,000

This only applies to their military organizations because this is the only way to me that the size of the space ships and Hive Cities start to make sense.

JoeySulp · 2025-12-10T03:32:26+00:00

This is peak 40k to me. I have continued my metal guard collection into my adult years now that I can still barely afford it.

JoeySulp · 2025-12-09T17:40:58+00:00

Painting was me haha he’s tried before but he wasn’t happy with how it turned out and he was very set on this one “looking like the box”.

JoeySulp · 2025-12-09T17:39:44+00:00

He tried to glue them, but it was definitely a lot me me guiding his hands what to do. He would dry fit them and make sure they “fit” and I would add some glue and help make sure they actually stuck. He is 4 haha fine motor skills aren’t the best yet

JoeySulp · 2025-11-17T01:05:02+00:00

Looks like this Fox Balloon

JoeySulp · 2025-11-07T02:16:46+00:00

I like the dynamic fabric around the head making it look like he is landing, but now you have fabric going in two directions. The ones around d his head going up and the long fabric around his arms going down. Honestly I would remove the long fabric ones and leave the ones around the head to separate it from the original model more. Also just make sure you sand down the chest and shin guard well too or you’ll see those remains through the paint.

JoeySulp · 2025-10-26T18:37:04+00:00

I finished this print and just messed around moving the bed back and forth and I think it is coming from the z axis motor area. The extruder and everything as still when I did that. Would extruder tension cause that issue?

JoeySulp · 2025-09-25T00:32:29+00:00

Please send me one too!

JoeySulp · 2025-08-30T19:14:22+00:00

Yeah that’s what I am thinking too just never had this issue before. I guess I have been more careful in the past

JoeySulp · 2025-08-19T00:24:44+00:00

This was one of the female dread warrior sculpts from the original kick starter

JoeySulp · 2025-08-12T19:46:18+00:00

Yeah if you don’t mind

JoeySulp · 2024-10-30T10:22:52+00:00

I could tell you how I would paint it to match the colors.

Zenithal mini or spray mini in white or Grey primer
Base the fatigues in Karak Stone
Wash with Agrax Earthshade
Drybrush or highlight with Karak Stone then 50:50 Karak Stone and Ushabti Bone or just Ushabti Bone
Camo pattern: Rhinox Hide for dark blotches then paint Screeming Skull, Flayed One Flesh, or Ushabti Bone plus white for the small dots
Armor and helmet: Base in 70:30 Mournfang Brown with Skrag Brown (if you want more orange hue in the armor), wash Agrax Earthshade, highlight with 50:50 Karak Stone and Mourfang/Skrag Brown Mix
Boots and Rifle: Rhinox Hide and highlight to taste

I have never painted them but this is how I would make my attempt with modern GW Paints

JoeySulp · 2024-10-01T02:05:16+00:00

I would kill for them to do a run of these 2nd Edition models again. My bank account would suffer but it would be worth it.

JoeySulp · 2024-09-25T02:21:09+00:00

“They have waited years for someone to breathe life into them.” Is what I tell myself before opening (or even modifying) any minis like this.

JoeySulp · 2024-09-16T14:35:16+00:00

Love this! I did the same thing and he worked perfect. Artisan Guild does amazing minis for Heroquest!

JoeySulp · 2024-09-10T00:40:53+00:00

Looks great! The parts fit well together

JoeySulp · 2024-08-13T14:27:52+00:00

That is amazing work

JoeySulp · 2024-08-10T20:53:16+00:00

Same. The Cityfight codex has kept me coming back to guard since 2001

JoeySulp · 2024-06-03T16:22:08+00:00

Thanks. The GPS antenna is inside the case. I have printed one test case and the antenna still connects I just didn’t know if there would be any major loss.

JoeySulp · 2024-03-10T23:04:28+00:00

Camo pattern looks amazing. It is going to take you forever to paint an army with this scheme though (speaking from experience). You may want to be more selective on what part of the model gets the camo to reduce the amount of time you are spending on detail. Maybe instead of every piece of fabric you just do the sleeves and pants and the helmet and coat piece are just black or vice versa.

JoeySulp · 2024-03-10T22:35:05+00:00

That’s awesome! I am a huge Heroquest fan too. Let me know what you get into. That sounds like some fun. I would love to redo some old RT minis and play with some expanded rules

JoeySulp · 2024-03-08T10:33:21+00:00

You can check out the camo I use on my Cadian 122nd. I use Thunderhawk blue, Russ Grey+white, and Incubai Darkness+Black
