From PaulSS: Waaagh!! Fusty Ruckers gets some air support (36 points)

 

It's been at least three years since I painted anything new for Waaagh!! Fusty Ruckers, indeed it's a project I started back at Challenge XII 

Anyhow, I'm getting over the Bronchitis that laid up any chance of getting anything finished done for last week and I decided to grab an Ork Burna-Bommer that's been languishing in the pile of shame for at least eighteen months. My colleague is playing 40K at Adepticon and wants to borrow the Orks so this was a simple restart.

The kit can be built as either a Dakkajet, Blitza-Bommer, Burna-Bommer or Wazbom Blastajet, but I decided on the end to make it up as a Burna-Bommer, for no gaming reasons but aesthetically  I liked the build. 

I'm not sure why but it reminds me of the Blackburn Buccaneers that used to practice low level runs over our house when I was a nipper. 

Having chosen the rusty look for my Waaagh! it means that even though I've painted nothing in years I can easily slip back into the colour scheme.

I added streaks of soot all over, but especially around the engines and the Skorcha missile racks. More streaks of exposed metal and dust completed the look.

I even went as far as leaving the cockpits glazed and painting the pilot and grot gunner.

One 40mm vehicle, one 40mm pilot and one 20mm gunner should net me another 36 points and get me back on track after missing a week.

TeemuL: It is good to see an Ork vehicle which is not bright red. Your Burna-Bommer looks very well used and dusted, the bright cockpits and crew create nice contrast and draw the eye to them. By the way, isn't it nice to paint some bigger minis, too? :)
