Warhammer 40k Gretchins

My,trip to Pennsylvania was eventful; a wedding(not mine), and 2 new found locations to get Games Workshop items. I got some Necrons, Orks, and Space Marines. Basically I am planning on starting with the Necrons, Chaos Space Marines, and Space Marines. The Orks were just an added bonus.  I started reading the rules to this game and I can only say that it looks really complicated. I will have to figure out the hows and why of building an army up properly before making any decisions on that end. But Painting them is a lot of fun and could be a lot more portable hobby when I am traveling.

Here are my Ork Gretchins fresh off the drying rack. This was a true test for me as I really focused on the details and using a lot of techniques to get them right. Nothing perfected for sure, but I did get some good practice using the techniques that I have been watching on YouTube. Got to love YouTube.

I used two different greens, one a Vallejo, and one a Citadel paint. I wanted to see which one I liked more. At this point I like the Vallejo's the coverage was better, and when they were thinned the coverage remained just as good.

I even got to practice painting checker patterns. And using different washes. On the beast I used a really bright magenta to undercoat, then a darker red over it with a soft body wash.

None of the bases are finished because I intend to make a diorama to hold all of them and will remove them from the stock plastic bases once I have that all built.

Well, that's what I have for now. Back to work on my Resin Booster Gundam now. I need to get that done before my big move in July. As always thank you for stopping by.
