Just a quick update this morning as I've got lots of stuff to do but I have managed to get my paints out and finish a miniature I primed at my last flat in the form of a Badmoon Ork Nob:
Nob!
He's from the first batch of sculpts I actually got cast from back in 2011 when I was commissioned to sculpt some space Orks to raise funds for my degree show. Looking at the original cast, the sculpting is pretty crude compared to what I can do now and I've converted him a bit to cover over some of the ropier bits but I think he's turned out alright!
I have a dozen or so more that will be added to a small warband to act as raiders or hired thugs. I am also humming and hahing about giving him a back banner as everyone knows that a proper Orky boss needs a back banner to show how important he is!
Hopefully I'll have a couple more painted this evening and will post updates as and when I get the chance!
All the best!
He'd look good if he was 28mm but the fact that he's 15mm is really impressive. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI am always taken aback by your work in smaller scales. Sure, your newer stuff is more polished, but that's still a heck of a nice looking ork. Convincing and characterful. And well painted, I might add. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments folks!
ReplyDeleteI've got a second, thuggish Ork almost finished and will get him uploaded asap although I seem to be going through a yellow phase as my Imperial Guard are yellow and black too...
15mm scale is great fun to sculpt in as you need to exaggerate features to make them visible from a distance and I actually have a half dozen or so more Ork sculpts sat almost finished at the mo and will take pics when I get chance!
All the best!
