N_Watson Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 So just getting back into the hobby after q long break. Played dwarves in 6th edition and collected some of the newer models when 8th started so naturally I was drawn to the new fyreslayer models. I mean, they are awesome models but after my first visit to a GW store, I have walked out with a box of ironjawz brutes.... I feel like I have cheated, but whatever. they just look awesome and their back story is just cool. Bigger than black orcs. Yes please! WAAAAAAAAGHH!!!

mrstimpson38 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I recently added 5 brutes to my greenskin army. They're awesome. Love the boss claw ability and how tanky they are. Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Welcome to the green side! I look forward to seeing your brutes! What colour scheme are you going for? Also, fyre-slayers are a mercenary faction, so if you think up some good background for it, you can have them with your orruks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N_Watson Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm planning on running Gordrakk so probably going with yellow as my main colour but not sure about the off colour. Drawn more towards yellow and black currently. Met the manager of my local store today and he was talking to me about the summer campaign. He said that they might increase the amount of warscrolls you can play with each week so I have time to put my force together. Only destruction player at my store it seems so I'm doing it for the gits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm putting mine together too. Mostly brutes. I just need a color scheme. I want to do something warcrafty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N_Watson Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Regret not buying a white spray at this point. Undercoating with a brush is boring as... First model built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think the sprays also have something in them that makes them adhere better? Either way can't wait, I love the claw versions so much Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like leadbelcher with lots of nuln oil or something with red for random trim areas. Or maybe straight black with red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah that's what I was going for, sounds good ? I went for warplock bronze, lots of nuln oil, drybrush leadbelcher from the edges it would naturally scratch and wear, and highlight runefang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...runefang hightlight. So contrasting like the GW black with the white highlights? Just with shiny metal lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just with shiny metal lol Yup, got inspired by a guy called Farmer over on the warpath forum. Makes for a dark armour whilst maintaining metallics. I have pictures on my blog or the WiP Wednesday thread. Currently working on the FW banner bearer orc boss. I used a brighter, less yellow green as it is the main standout colour. Also sorry to hijack the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N_Watson Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Don't know if you have seen the YouTube video guide for the warboss. Probably a bit of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Don't know if you have seen the YouTube video guide for the warboss. Probably a bit of both. I believe I have, a while back now though. I would advise either doing similar to how I do, and drybrush in the direction of wear (usually from a certain edge) in warplock, then leadbelcher, then edge/extreme in runefang. You can always put typhus corrosion on area of this and then drybrush them with any orange or ryza rust for rust. Or you can stipple Brown, then typhus, then rust. And edge that in runefang.

Malakithe Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I'll have my ironjawz next week. 30×brutes, 2×weirdnobs, 2xthundertusks, and gordrakk. Just need a color scheme. My favorite color is orange but I don't want to do the full orange. Maybe a dark dark metal with orange for the trim/extra areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite color is orange but I don't want to do the full orange. Maybe a dark dark metal with orange for the trim/extra areas. That would look cool. If you're interested I'd say experiment with the method I described, and you could do certain plates/decoration as rust. For example, the ironjawz sometimes have tooth/fang shaped decoration on their armour. Do that whole piece stippled Brown, then orange, and edge it bright silver, maybe a few scratches. Will really stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
