AettHobby Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Really beautiful army, live the bright vibrant colours across the board. The two tone maw-krusha is really sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ok so tonight I present the latest Orruk to join the ranks, Warchanta Warzag. His beatz are known throughout Mitzmanheim. Edit: I just noticed that his teeth aren't painted... That's what considering a mini complete at 2am does for you!!! Photo will be edited tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlySarcasm Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 @Mitzy this all looks fantastic! I cant wait to get my Ironjawz painted! Keep an eye out for a blog popping up in the middle of next month, as my exams are at the start of June, then I'm free on uni until October, so its HOBBY TIIIIIIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ok so the troll unit is complete, I really love how this unit looks, is has a real tough brawler look about it. I think it will have to be used as a "Too dumb to die" Sourbreath troll unit as they just look like they could stick out a good rumble and still be standing at the end of the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Finally this evening I have managed to get the MawKrusha's body and wings finished and they have now been liberally bathed in good old Agrax Earthshade wash. It is worth noting at this point that I literally pour Agrax over every mini I paint. It doesn't matter what I'm painting our what colour it is, it gets Agraxed... I really love the earthy tones it gives each mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Next up its the Gore-Gruntas I've built 1 of the 6 I have (I think 9 is the optimum unit size so I may be adding more...). Anyway I simply love these minis, the size of them is immense and they are really going to look great thundering accross the battlefield soon!

Mitzy Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 So hobby time was very much restricted last night so I only managed to build the other two Gore Gruntas and sadly didn't get more paint on the MawKrusha. I love the unit of Pig Boyz they look so menacing, they will get undercoated white and then I'll get the Turquoise fur airbrushed on to the Pigz ready for all the other base coats. There is so much detail on the minis that the airbrush will really get in to all those hard to reach areas that the brush won't get to. I also started putting the Brutes together, boy there is a serious amount of components to them, I sat for 4 hours and only got 2 Gruntas and 2 Brutes built (not sure if I'm a slow builder or not but they seem to take forever to put together). Anyway here's a photo of the finished Waaaghh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AettHobby Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Regarding putting together models I'd say taking your time is better than rushing, that way you don't spot horrible mould lines when you come to paint. The Maw-Krusha looks really good without the wings! Although better with, loving the paint job on him so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I like to take my time too. I'd rather get it right. If I rush anything, I always go to bed thinking it could have been better. That might explain why I never get anything finished though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Wing membranes done, turquoise has had its first highlight, should get the skin finished tonight, then it's the details including all 677 spines/horns (Seems GW have gone from skulls to horns)...

Mitzy Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Afternoon folks, so for those of you who missed the news on Twitter, I decided that the MawKrusha needed the Turquoise body colour breaking up and following a direct request from Dictator Ming (@Thornshield) for the big blue brute to have white stripes like my Pig Boyz I sprang in to action and decorated the beast. I think you will agree that the stripes have really broken up the monotony of the turquoise and will tie different beast units together as the army grows. I'm really happy with how this model is coming together, however I now need to push on and get him finished for a group game on the 20th May where he will be leading the forces of destruction to war. #iloveadeadline Anyway other progress was made on the first unit of 3 Gore Gruntas which have now been undercoated white and the Turquoise base coat has been airbrushed on the the piggyz (photo to follow). Thanks for all your interest in my little greenskin project it really does motivate me to improve and progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walverine56 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Love the colours of the maw crusha. Could you post a pic of the combined destruction army so far with the ogres and Orruks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitzy Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 And he's finished... I finally managed to get the Big Blue Brute finished in time to post him on Twitter as my #miniaturemonday. It seems he is well liked by the community as he was liked over 100+ times (my biggest ever tweet response) which is great. I'm super pleased with the results, the MawKrusha really is a great model to put together and paint (although the build is slightly more technical than others out there). But the results really speak for themselves. Now he's done I can concentrate on the 12 Gore Gruntas I have (3 of which are on the painting table as I type so stand by for updates...

Dez Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 He looks great, I particularly like how you painted his armor...it has a fresh 'Pig Armor' look to it, like he just scrubbed it off using Moonclan Goblins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomlin Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Fantastic work bro! Always a fan of your work Mitzy and these are right up there with the best. Really inspirational stuff, would love to get a game against these at a Tournament! Love the colours chosen for the Maw-Krusha, currently mulling over a few options for mine, though I think I want to get some Brutes done first before treating myself to him. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Ming a while ago so am pretty sure I'll be seeing you boyz at RAW! I'll have to get you lot on the podcast nearer the time to talk about it if interested? If you have a group chat or something let the rest of them know and we'll sort it. Anyway, get back to painting your Orruks! What's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomlin Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Looks like you've made a solid start there...you're hammering through this stuff. Like the blue fur a lot. Good shout to tie them in. Are you laying down base colours across the entire model and giving them the same wash all over? I think I will have to pick a couple of boxes of these boyz up at some point! Perhaps you should change you profile pic to a green filter, better befitting of your Orruk-y nature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate, that's how I have painted all of my miniatures, I also only use Agrax Earthshade (wash of the gods) the only time I use other washes is watered down with Lahmian Medium for specific small area glazes (like under eye sockets and stuff like that). I tend to by Agrax in bulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
