Waaagh Scraphead Project Log

[Dominic]

Hi Guys,

This is going to be my log for my Waaagh Scraphead project log; the basic idea for the army is that its lead by a Big Mek with the assistance of a Warboss who pillage and plunder as many worlds as they can get there hands on to supply parts for the Big Meks 'modifactions' (soon you see what I hope to be some pretty cool Battlewagon conversions.

I'm going to leave this page just as a contents one, so once this log really gets going, you'll be able to quickly find any WIPs and showcases you want easily

Very nice, well done!

[HarlekissofDeath]

Quality wise they are very good looking models, but color wise have you thought about maybe doing one more level of highlight on them, they look a little dull (I don't know a better word to use). Nothing really pops about them.
Even if you are looking for the griminess of the 41st century you still one something to help your models stand out amongst all the others out there.
But I'll go back to what I said at first; they look really good, I can tell you do a good job, just consider adding a extreme highlight, or a spot color to contrast and draw out the model more.

Thanks :D

Yeah, I agree with that in relation to the infantry, however, I don't feel liking adding highlights would help the battlewagons at the moment, as they follow a really dirty and grimy colour scheme.

I'm currently painting up a squad of boyz, and will have a go at adding some highlights.

[Night System]

I whole heartily endorse this thread. :)

[The_Farseer]

They look really good, I've bookmarked this thread :)

I like these shots a lot ... what method are you using to achieve the rust / weathered look? Is it a wash, overbrushing, etc?

On the battlewagon its just FW rust power.

On the models:

Dwarf Bronze
Wash Gryphonne Sepia
Overbrush with Chainmail

Leave me some feedback guys (:

How should I paint the Eldar bits? I was thinking either Saim Hann red (the orks would obviously only plunder a red eldar Fire Prism) or like the rest of the red on the Battlewagon, as if they'd painted over it (which would be Boltgun metal, followed by Badab black wash, Scab red, the dry brush chainmail)?

[MarneusCalgar]

Well, I´d do it on Saim Hann red...

It has been hacked from a Eldar device, but sure orks had time to customize it for their desires...

There's actually no Tau pieces on the model, just a combination of ork and Eldar bits.

[MarneusCalgar]

Fixed!!!

I meant Eldar, really...

Thanks!

[Dominic]

Haha, I thought you did.

I'm in the process of painting it now, and so far the Saim Hann red looks good and blends well, I'll post a pic up when all the painting is done (but probably before its weathered)

[MarneusCalgar]

Good!!!

Hope to see it soon

[Dominic]

Quick update:

I've just finished painting the basic colours on the KFF. These pics were just taken with my phone, so please excuse the lack of quality. Also, this is before I did all the weathering, so at this stage, everything is meant to look really bright!
