From KyleC - Ork Meganobs - (49 Points)

So a quick one as I process some models for a friend. 

He needed some Orks painted up, and I had gotten some of it finished already, but still have a few left over. Here is the first batch of them.. 

Ork Meganobs! Along with some MegaOrk Meks! 

Plenty of airbrush work on these boys here. Primed with the airbrush, but then dual layers of yellow laid down to get the main colors sorted. All done with.. GW contrast paints!!! They airbrush really well and smoothly!

Helps to get a good even coverage especially with yellow. 

I did attempt the skin with airbrush but has to rework it afterwards. But it's all a trial and error on some bits so why not. 

All were gloss varnished before applying a black oil wash. Then a ultra matte varnish from AK once it dried a bit before tackling the details and highlights. Like the reds and metal highlights. 

For the big Meks, I tried some OSL on the generators and such. Airbrushed in some white to the areas I would be trying the blue in. Then hit it with GW contrast pylar glacier. A horribly thin color that took many layers to get even a tiny bit of coverage. I then with the brush hit the recesses with GW contrast Talassar blue. Bedford a touch of white ink for the highlights. 

End result turned out ok though. And gives the glowing effect I was looking for. 

Only issue is no bases done. Since it's for a friend and he wants to do them to tie into the rest of his army. So normally this would be 35 PTS but now.. no idea. But glad to have them done, and looking at some Star Wars models for the Sci Fi Category next. This could have worked but I haven't done a female tribute as yet (but working on a few now). 

Have a great Christmas all! And see you all on the other side.

Wow Kyle, you have a very lucky friend, but then again I've been the recipient of your kindness more than once in the past, so this generosity fits very much in your wheelhouse.  These nasty Meganobs look brilliant in all their yellow, teeth-gnashing glory. I especially like the glowing effect on the generators. It's interesting as I've heard from others that GW's new 'Pylar Glacier' is a real challenge to use, but as we can see here, it's wonderful for some effects.

I'm going to count each of these Meganobs as 7 points each, as they look like they have the height (if not mass) of a 40mm figure, if not larger. Great work and Happy Christmas!
