Why Don't You Start Wearing Yellow!

It's almost finished!  Yes the Ork Killa Kan is almost finished! So here's a quick progress update on the status of the new plastic ork dreads. 

Yellow! I Hate Painting Yellow!

Up there on my list of colours i do not like to paint, among black and white, upon a pedestal all to its own is the colour yellow.  I don't think I'm mentioned before the degree at which i don't like painting this colour... mind you in small amounts it's a reletively harmless innocuous colour, but when you are painting it on tanks with huge amounts of flat surfaces it is in a category all to its own.  Other than using white primer and working from the brightest of colours and working down to the shading i have not found a reliable way to paint yellow.  I'm thinking that investing in a can of yellow primer (if it exists) might be a good idea.

Work In Progress... soo much yellow paint!

Today, I've started working on my amassed ork dreadnaught collection,  3 Killa Kans and 1 Deff Dread.  After a great deal of playing around, washing, mixing, scratching, denting, etc... i've managed to come up with this paint job concept.  Only the central portion of the dreadnaught is painted so far as i'm still working on the rest of the armour, but in another day or two this model should be complete. 

Burn Baby Burn

Sorry for the disco reference in the title, i just couldn't resist. Today I've posted some pictures of a Ork Burna that i painted last night, and finished up today. This is was just a simple project that i did to break up all the dark eldar that i've been painting over the past few weeks. The colour pallet is broken down into several complimentary colour sets (green, red, purple and yellow) and lots of industrial themes and earth tones. Lots of chipped paint, oxidization, rust, scuffs and scratches.
