About time I show some of my first models I painted for my warband…ever!

I already learned tons of stuff that’s probably obvious to all the veteran Warhammer players around here, but for people just starting out it’s all still strange and new. That’s why I decided to share some of the stuff I learned.

But first, let’s show of some of my work!

Still work in progress, gotta do alot more details on the armour (what a bloody nice model this is by the way; Grimgor Ironhide) and got to finish up the shields and base on the bottom.
Still I’m very happy how his armour turned out. I decided to keep his armour a bit shinier compared to most Orcs, since he is the boss and all and gets the best and latest loot.

Off course the Boss needs to boss around a bit, so I also started painting on the Big ‘Uns, Forgot and Agok:

Basically at the same stage as the boss, got a nice layer of paint on them with some washes, but still need to work out some details and the bases. I also got to figure something out to make the 2 more different from each other, since it was nearly impossible to put this model (Black Orc Warboss) into a different pose. And off course the obvious missing arm, which will b revealed soon(tm).
Thanks to Loek I got an awesome idea, since Forgot has gained stupidity because of a battle wound, I will put an axe imbedded in his skull! That should explain those loose bolts in his puny orc brain. I’m also going to clip one of his helmet horns, also a wound from that battle.

Now what did I learn from all this painting and (minor) sculpting? I’ll tell ya after the break.

So this is where the fun begins, I actually started putting together my warband! I’ve included a few pictures of two Gor models I’ve been working on.

I figured Beastmen mostly live in the woods so I wanted to give them forest related bases. I’m not sure about my Warbands Chaos affiliation and which God they worship yet. I am thinking of either Nurgle or Slaanesh. This will also dictate my painting colour scheme so it’s something I have to decide on soon. Perhaps you can help me out here since I’m somewhat new to the whole world of Warhammer / tabletop wargaming.
