Another blast from the past! My collection of older Orks is now finished once again, albeit with a twist. While these two were great figures, comapred to the more muscular new range of Orks, they paled in comparison ... so as rebuilding them made no sense, they had to become specialists to compensate for the size difference. Flash Gits fit the bill perfectly, so a quick trip to the bits box and a couple of comically oversized guns were born. Not even sure I could remember where most of these parts came from, but straws and plastic ball joints were involved. I'm lacking a suitable material to use as mechanical piping, and wouldn't mind returning to the first guy to add more wire in there for a slightly more chaotic fee, but it'll do for now.

Colour wise it was again a nice simple choice, with lots of reds, silvers and the key colour of yellow in there. I hadn't played around with a scorch effect before, and this one was achieved by adding lots of washes of Devlan Mud and Gryphon Sepia in a random order until it just looked right. There will be a few more of these to follow over time, but as they're not a unit being fielded in my army at the moment it's more of a casual project when I happed to have spareparts that don't really belong anywhere else.

Lots of fun painting these guys up really. Replete with weaponry, the tally stands at ... 2009 Pledge. Purchased: 6. Completed: 32.
