Now this was a proper glow up from the old mini. I have to say I still do love the old sculpt and I think it stands up, but this was very satisfying to paint. Had a lot of fun working in a bit more blood and gore than I usually would. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #orks40k

The Deffkilla Wartrike was on the fist minis I bought when getting into the hobby a few years ago so here’s take 2 on a much loved classic. Can’t take any credit for the build on the base that one goes to the Ebay seller! #Paintingwarhammer #orks40k #Warhammerhobby

Pushed myself to create designs for what my warband of Orks would use to identify their kulture. Shout out to GW for giving a bit identity space back to the minis in this new edition! #paintingwarhammer

What a model, this has been so fun to paint so far and it feels like such an approachable model. Nice large surfaces to play with, clear muscle definition to follow, and loads of space to be creative! How are you finding the new Ork sculpts to paint? #warhammerhobby #paintingwarhammer #wipwednesday

Getting base layers on my Big Mek in MA. Made a slightly darker blue-green adding a bit of purple to which will be the shadows for the blue-green areas of the model, based in a light pink to help out the yellows I'll be adding to bring out the split hue effect. #paintingwarhammer #Warhammerhobby
