Quick everybody, kick him while he's down!

:wink:

I really like the 'glowy' effect around the gorgon's eyes.

You are a real artist Tidoco!

Tim, since you joined the site your stuff just gets better and better and better. You are light years from where you were, I wish I could see the same sort of progress you've made...I seem to have plateaued. Keep up the amazing work my friend!

Nicely put BOTWT, thats what I was going to say

Fantastic work on this model Tidoco, I love the way you paint faces, and this model as usual has so much character.

(Hope he's been too preoccupied with this one to realise the One Ring Awards are just around the corner :wink:

I love the skin tones on this model. The stubble looks great!
The red inside of the cloak is getting there! Reds are difficult to paint for pro's, you have managed to get a great colour and almost perfect texture! The only thing I can point out with it is the left inside of the cloak looks a little bright compared to the rest of it.

I really like the metallics! I generally think Metallic looks shabby and clogged but yours is amazing! I love what you have done on the chain mail and especially the armour plating. I cant wait to see the axe head when that is completed.

Good luck painting,

KJ Nromancer

Wow, you paint some of the best metal I have ever seen!
The skintone and stubble really make him stand out

Also the red is just wow!
Keep up the awesome-tastic work :wink:

The green on the cloak is just a basecoat and may yet get changed altogether.

Outstanding work on the armor! WOW! :shock:

I took a bit of a break from Kordius today, I bought this months White Dwarf magazine and of course the two free minis were on the front and I couldn't resist starting the Ork so here is the first WIP shots of the plastic Ork boy from Assault on Black Reach.

Lovely mini in my opinion far better than any previous plastics that come with the games.

Eiks! Where's his head!?!?

I've got these minis too, so I'll be intrigued (not being a 40k collector) how you paint these guys up. Nice start to green skin is that Snot Green with a lighter highlight?

gaarew · **Posted:** Fri Sep 05, 2008 6:53 pm

Damn you Tim!

There's no point in me painting my Ork army now...

What colours did you use for the skin? The highlight looks a bit like Scorpion Green.

tidoco · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 1:13 pm

Hehe thanks guys I've taken a day off from boromir today and have carried on with the ork, here he is now complete with head which has the Death Skull warpaint on.

I haven't quite got an even match on the green areas of skin from the first part I painted to the stuff I did today but hopefully I should be able to sort that out before it is finished.

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 1:31 pm

Melts my eyes

Great Stuff Tim as usual. Great idea with that blue, well tatoo I guess.

You really excell with Ork Armies

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:03 pm

Damn that's nice! Brilliant Warpaint!

tidoco · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:06 pm

Thanks guys, I want to give this ork a feel of being a loota after all he is a Deff Skull, so I have painted the armour plating as a miss match of different SM bitz, so far two pieces are Blood Angel and one piece is Imperial Fist though you can't quite see the logo as it is under his chin, I am going to weather them a bit more but they are near enough done which leaves me two pieces left to do which I will probably go for Space Wolf Grey,

The photo has washed out the final highlight on the pants also the angle it has been taken from doesn't help either as the mini is going to be viewed more from above when complete.

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:28 pm

Wow I wish I had great big green muscles like him! Fabulous work Tim, is there anything you can't do? :wink:

Looking forward to seeing you paint Arnold (the Terminator)

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2008 10:42 pm

Holy Devlan Mud that is awesome! :shock:

tidoco · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 5:12 pm

More done to the greenskin today, I have repainted the stikkbomb head since I took this photo as I was not happy with it, I am going to have to think about basing it pretty soon too.
