Those of you familar with my website may have already seen the page devoted to the Kult of Speed.

I have decided to add some more forces but using the paint scheme that I am using for my other Ork variant armies.

I am also intending to look back on some of the miniatures I have done and either add some detailing or even re-wash some.

To give you an idea here are some Ork Guntrukks I did a year or two back.



They are simple E40K Flakwagons with Ork Buggy Gunners and Imperial Guard Dozer Blades. They have used a pure ink wash which is why they are slightly shiny, whereas with my more recent painting I have used an ink/paint combination wash which reduces or eliminates the shine.

I am sure that I have shown these before.

I might now give them a new wash.

These models also show why I like the older lots of parts E40K models over the newer single casting Epic Armageddon models.

These models take parts from three models something which would be difficult to do with the current offerings from Specialist Games.

I do realise that the multi-part aspect of the older models made it difficult to build them, but it certainly made them easier for conversions and new models.

Jimbo, they look really good as is, but you're right, they do look shiny. I use a flat matte sealer on all my minis which, in addition to sealing them, takes away most of the shininess.

I, too, have thought about going over minis I painted many years ago to spruce them up some now that I'm a better painter.

Speed Freeks also need some heavy artillery.



If they can use looted Basilisks then I think this ought to be allowed...

NAh, looks more like a Katyusha, or as WMN calls it, Stalin's, I mean, Ghazghkull's Organs.  :p  :D

Hi!

I dont mind the "shininess either. They look great as is. Although I understand that orks may not have "pristine" looking vehicles, so dulling the shine may work too.

Started to re-look at my Epic Ork Dethcopters.



They are made from buggies without wheels, a bit of sprue and some plastic strip.
