Transmissions From Mars: Wherein Mars Joins a Kult.

So I was working on Bad Moonz when last I posted. Since then, I have decided that I don't want to do that anymore. I wasn't unhappy with the way they were turning out. They just weren't getting me all reved up. I need some severe reving, because there is a lot of army to paint. So in the spirit of reving, the reving of engines has served as an orkish, siren's call.

5 Minute History: Ork Boyz

Orks first appeared in the Rogue Trader rulebook and the Space Orks boxed set, containing eighteen metal models. These Orks were squat, powerfully muscled humanoids, wielding crude ballistic weaponry (usually black powder or other explosive projectile-based equivalent) and large 'stikbomz' or stick grenades; along with their helmets and other paraphernalia, these are apparently modeled on German equipment from World War I.

Modeling: Rust Technique

Hey guys, this is my introduction post, as i've joined the minds behind the scenes. My handle is Skrall, i'm something of an ork addict... in fact at current i have some in the region of 3000 points of orks... and its just the tip of my project iceberg. In the next 3 months i'll be putting up tutorials for modelling as well as reviews of new products (ogre kingdoms mainly, which i suspect isn't going to be the greatest source of interest for this group but who knows).

So first here is one of the 3-4 tutorials on weathering i'm doing. This is salt resist rusting.

Weathering Tutorial 1; Salt weathering.

Firstly, get your model painted to the quality of rust you like, mine seems a little washed out in this light but you'll see i go for a brown/orange rust, a mix of fresh and old rust.
