Hi!
I've finished another Ork Nob for my Goff warband!
 |
| Rugnug Red-Axe |
He's originally from the newer Ork Boy box that came out a while back which comes with the bits and bobs to make a Nob to lead them. I've had him built and base coated for quite a while now but gave up on him and he's sat unloved and unwanted in a box ever since. With the success of my latest project, I thought it was high time I painted him up!
In hindsight, I'd probably paint him in components to simplify painting as the Ironjaw made getting the details in a bit of a struggle and is why I do prefer the older figures as they aren't covered in details that requires a bit more effort to get a good finish on them.

He's a bit smaller than the other Nob I've painted which came from the Nobs box but that's ok as I like Orks appearing in all shapes and sizes, Rugnug is just a bit lower on the pecking order of Orkish society!
I'm hoping my Ral Partha delivery arrives today so I can crack on with some more 15mm scale stuff and do a bit of a delve through Crucible but with postage taking a bit longer than usual due to lockdown, I suspect I'll get it next week so in the meantime I'll keep painting assorted bits and bobs and will try and get the first of my Random Encounter cards put together.
I also need to rummage around to see if I can find some random jungle denizens to menace my adventurers with but that's a post for another day.
All this success with painting has got me thinking of putting together some 28mm fantasy adventuring parties too but I'm resisting temptation for the time being as I've got enough to keep me entertained for the foreseeable but I'm keeping the idea on the back burner as I think it could be quite a lot of fun, especially as I'm having a blast working on my random sci-fi shenanigans at the moment!
Maybe I'll have a look though my slowly depleting lead and plastic pile and see if I have anything I fancy painting but in the meantime, All the best!
I like the posing on this guy. The way you've positioned the arms and head make it look as if he's twisting to swing his axe. A lot of the ork models are rather 2-d if you see what I mean, and I think he's come out well.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHe is a bit more dynamic than some of the older plastic stuff but I must admit that there's something to be said for the simplicity for the older stuff!
