Well here he is finished, this is the third Ork, for a unit of 5 Ork nobs, it has been a project that was put on the backburner and basically forgotten about but with the recent purchase of even more Orks recently, my interest was sparked again. Well now it is time to start the battlewagon yippeee.

Thanks, mmm palying a game with it well possibly but I would have to give it a couple of coats of Dull Coat first which then dulls the metal. I am painting these more for display than for use, I always wanted to paint a showcase army and one day I might achieve that but at the speed i paint then it will be a few years before I ever get it close to being finished.

Ha, I know what you mean, it's taken me 3 years to get my Grayven Wolves to where they are now, and have never had a game with them yet.

Favnastic! This is amazing work as usual Tim, I just don't get how you make the skin tones seem real!

Another amazing piece! I really like the weathering on the metallics. My only nitpick would be for some additional highlighting on the handles of the leather wraps on the guns on his back.

Tim, you know how I feel about your orks ;D They are absolutely amazing! Can't wait to se all orks together. Your ork skin and metal is just awesome. For god's sake, enter the ork unit in GOLDEN DEMON!!! The one thing I don't like abouth the mini is the base. To cut 1/4 of the base away just to show two pipes doesn't really make sense. But that is not your fault, that's groundforge's fault

Yet again the scores on CMON baffle me, this is 9 average easy, is it because of the metalllic i'm totally confused, i love CMON but there are so many wa**kers that vote it makes me wonder, and i've noticed the regulars there that comment and vote aren't the snipers..so who are these impresario anonymous feckin experts F them, it's a nine and the squad wil be a 10:)

Well all my images get attacked the moment they go active, the score doesn't bother me at all, in fact I am getting to the stage where I am not bothered about putting minis in my gallery to be honest. I would have thought it would make between 8 and 8.5 but it got over 50 votes in less than 24hrs of being active which never used to happen for me, when I first joined it took days and days to get to 50 then all of a sudden it went daft and a mini ould reach over 70 votes in a day and a half, the damage is usually done well before hitting the 50 vote mark and then it is too late to recover, I thinkthe problem was I made the top 100 and then after a time i scraped for 1 day into the top 50 and ever since then i have been on the downward slide. But like I say I am not bothered now about it. If the end result pleases me then I am satisfied, I get alot of good comments here and on one or two other sites as well so all in all I am content.

I think alot depends on the mini too and who your friends are as I have noticed that there are alot of minis recently that score alot higher than they should and vice versa, I saw a Leman Russ tank the other day that was scoring 9 plus with only an average sort of paint job but the vote count was extremely high and to think it had only been active about two days, these are the sort of things that get peoples backs up.

You've got a great attitude to your hobby and i respect that... i do think metallics are underrated and i don't expect great results either on CMON, it just bothers me when i see real talent and it goes unseen.... there are some amazing painters imo on cmon much better than the likes of alexiz but they seem to be unpopular.. i refer to the mainly realistic painters and those that still use metallics sooooo well... i still can't believe JRN's scores either but if any of the twits voting seen this stuff irl they'd be eating their socks!!
