Morghot Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Hello! Im italian fan (sorry for bad english) of all gw universe and miniatures game in general... but mostly gw . Greenskin since the start of this passion more than ten years ago, with the release of orruks in aos my happines raises a lot and i felt like glorious old time, i were literally impatient for that release! So now here we are; im always been very slow to paint a personal army but little by little i hope to raise a modest orruks force to smash some heads in mortal realms! May i present you my orruks tribe: the Ice Klaw Klan. For now i painted 4 gruntas, one missing because i try to heavily convert it and now i need some bits to fix it, but we dont care. The next in processing are 3 gore gruntas and the megaboss that ill show you in next days, im converting it at the moment. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

roberto Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 oooohhhh. care to share your skin recipe (sans the fava beans)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orruk Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 These look great! Your highlighting is amazing. How do you get that gentle pink tone on the lips, heels etc. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JokerLord Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Dang, you should work for GW, I love the axe grips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morghot Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks guys i really appreciate it!! @Turragor yep also greenskins need come compliment once in a while @JokerLord too kind im not so good! @roberto @Orruk For the skin i use this procedure, i try to explain don't know the english exact terminology used in painting: - base castellan green + elysian green 50-50 - pure elysian green on all except the fissure (like between muscle) - shade/shadow very gently with castellan green - first light always very gently with castellan green + nurglin green 50-50 - second light with pure nurglin green only in the extremity parts and insist on those sections which will be done with gentle pink; for these is always a very gentle work (a sort of glazing work) with light flesh colour first and purple red then. - last but very important a final shadow/shade with orkhide shade (old foundation colour) where i think it's needed, this help creating a good contrast. Ok it's harder said than done, its all about stay gently with brush stroke and make more passage seen the colour is very dilute with water. I hope this will be helpfull to someone but i can't explain very well 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansuz Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The skin of your orruks is great, but the highlights on the trousers are incredible! Such smooth transitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmanphill Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Wow, fantastic skin tones on the brutes. They look really fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasmarog Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 So nice! That brownish highlight is amazing :D. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbaal Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 very well done Morgoth! your models are so sweet! the only things you have to do are: - adjust the blending on the armors, they could be smoother - increase the light on the faces the rest is perfect!

Morghot Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys!! @Arbaal I will try with the next gore gruntas, specially for the light on the faces. Thanks again! Waiting the gruntas, that are really huge ill take some times to make the first try for colour scheme etc etc, i show you the megaboss!! 90% done, missing some details, it's not finally stuck some part are removable for a better paintwork! If you have some advice don't hesitate!! Morghot the Snow Beast: Edited April 25, 2018 by Morghot 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmanphill Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That is a nice looking Megaboss. I really like the conversion work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That is amazing. Helmet is really fitting with the scrap feel of ironjaw plate. Also love the use of the weirdnob staff for the weapon. I would advise shaving off the khorne decoration on the hammerhead though, it makes it seem too clean and well-made. I would advise may greenstuffing on so strapping, as if to help hold it on? You could keep the vertical bands really, just the ones between them make quite a clear khorne symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonWraith Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I think the khorne hammer head works. Very oruk. Oooo big heavy, put on stick, hit things with it. I would even paint it khorne. Tarnish it, sure, but not repaint. Red is hurtier, anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansuz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 That's a brutal looking Megaboss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morghot Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks! @Soulsmith im glad you noticed this " Helmet is really fitting with the scrap feel of ironjaw plate ", it's exactly what i try to do! For the hammer is one of the things im in doubt yet, don't know if keep khorne symbol or hide it. From a side could be cool think that is a trophy stolen from a big demon and adapted to become is own weapon! I must decide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansuz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Keep the Khorne runes on the hammer. Is there anything cooler than an Orruk Megaboss with a huge daemonic hammer taken from its previous owner? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morghot Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Hello! After months finally a upgrade (not really seen i've painted this miniature some time ago ). The first gruntas, it's not finish must do the metal things and some details plus the base obviously! For christmass i've bought the Ironjawz Thunderfist Battleforce so it's time to make larger my army (with my time: slowly ).
