Finished it up, then realized I forgot the left arm! Well its as done as any Gargant Ive ever painted has ever been - they tend to be long term projects, never ending detail! |

Great work, though "'e looks a bit 'armless". Puns, terrible. |

Very nice Bro-Capt Parzval. Perhaps a bunch of lootaz stole Da Arm for their own Gargant? |

First I used an ink wash (or rather washes, as there were so many colours), then I added the highlights in one or two shades with a small brush, and when needed blended the edges between shades a little with highly diluted paint. I find its a lot easier to do this on a Gargant than on imperial or eldar titans, because Gargants dont have all those flat surfaces that really need the blending to look good. On this particular mini I did manage it in a relativly short time, I was surprised myself. The arm, well I actually did the head separately too, because it, and the arm, was very much in the way when painting the top and side of the body. The reason I forgot the arm was pretty much that it was so uninteresting, and I wasnt sure how to make it look any good. Will add it soon! |

Can you do any dust effect near the groun and maybe some scorching near gun barrels and maybe a little paint chiping or rust? I love the bright gargant but I can't imagine that orks would have such a factory fresh gargant marching around. Great work though! Cheers! Tepoc |

Zap: True, the "old old" ones are even cooler. In the future I might try to get a hold of one. Not until Ive finished the two last Gargants in the army though (I have a total of four: This one, two Slashers, and one Mekboy Gargant). Tepoc: Some dust would probably make it look somewhat more realistic, but Im not really aiming for realism here  More of what someone called a "cartoonish" style... And theyre orks so theyre better the more totally outrageous they look really! Besides my whole army looks like this so, well Im stuck with the cartoon style...
