Ork Meganob with Twin Linked Shoota and Power Klaw

Waaaaagggghhhhh!!! Another ork Meganob (still giggling at that) is done. Stomping into battle across the urban wasteland looking to smash all in its path, it also appears to have turned up with Night Fighting in force judging by the photos. Apologies about that – it was a late night shoot. Sexy shots will come when the whole squad is finished but really wanted to show him off today too.

I inverted the colour-scheme for this one a bit. Whereas the last one had a lot of red and a little black, this one has his armour the other way round. You can’t really tell from these pictures, but the skin is a bit lighter too. I want each ork in this squad of five to have a completely different skin tone, and this one started with a base of Warboss Green rather than Waaaagh Flesh and I’m happy with the look. I’m also a big fan of the black and red check look which I think I nailed (even if I say so myself) on the shoulder pad.

I won’t wax too lyrical on this. I’m really happy with how he came out and just wanted to share a few pics with you. Any constructive criticism is always welcome and if you’ve got anything you think I could be doing better, let me know why and how in the comments section. This model was undercoated in a mix of white from above and black from below, Citadel paints were used throughout and a mix of W&N (Series 7 finest Sable 000) and Citadel (Fine Detail) brushes were used throughout. Here are a couple more images for you. On to the next one!
