Ork Forgeworld Biker Boss

Here's a painting tutorial and some pics of the Forgeworld Biker Boss that I painted a while back.  Below you'll find a list of the equivalent paints in the new GW range.

Forge World Biker boss (summary and big pics)

In my last post I had some feedback for larger pics of the forge world biker boss... so here you go. Just click on the pics to bigify. I leave my albums as unlisted in Picasa, but if you are viewing the big one, just click on the album link on the right and you should see all the pictures I've taken of this mini. I can answer any questions you might have in the comments.

Biker Boss Complete

Ok, so he's not totally, completely, never to be touched again finished, but I had a deadline and this is how finished he was for that.

More Biker boss progress

I'm back to working on this guy as I have a deadline at the end of the month. Some more progress, and realistically its just a bunch of small details left now, so finishing him shouldn't be a problem. Here's some pics of the checker pattern I'm doing on his shoulder pads. I've also corrected the red/pink problem by giving the red stuff a GW blood red glaze.

More Forge World Biker boss pics

Here's a couple more pictures of the Forge World Ork Bike boss I'm working on for Miniwargaming.com's Painting Deathmatch. I have until the end of the month to finish him off, and I think that's a reasonable goal. The reds were done with reaper paints and some GW baal wash and glazes with GW blood red.

Biker boss progress

I've finally gotten around to working on this guy. I've been distracted by a number of projects, but I've got to get him done by the end of January, so I need to get going. I've started on the green skin... ork hide shade, dark angels green, snot green, scorpion green so far. I'll probably do a thraka wash and some more highlights when I finish the scorpion green.

Biker boss primed

Here's a couple pics of the Ork biker boss in his current state... black primed. As you can see, he's huge. This is going to make an awesome centre piece for my army. And, yes, that is Canis Wolfborn next to him (also assembled and primed).

Mega Death Match Painting Challenge

Over at the forums on miniwargaming.com they do monthly Death Match painting challenges. Two (or more) people will thrown down the gauntlet and paint up the same mini over the course of a month. At the end each posts pictures and they are voted on by the other forum members. I've entered a couple of these (and won), but this month is different. First off, since we're entering the Christmas season, its going to be two months, so I have until the end of January to finish this model. Secondly, I'm facing off against Mike, MWG's resident commission painter, and Falknerbitz, a forum regular. The best part is that we're all doing the forge world Ork biker boss. I picked this guy up at Gamesday, and I think this will finally serve as motivation to paint him up. Its an impressive model, and I can't wait to try him out on the table once he painted up.
