40k Ork Warboss

Goran Krunić, 2nd March 2022

In today's article, I will go through the process of coloring the figure of Ork Warboss with Big Choppa, produced by Games Workshop.

I started with black base color, which I applied with black matte spray, the reason is that this color is better for the darker color palette, which I used when painting this figure.

I painted the skin of the figure in a relatively saturated and bright green, called Irati Green from the Scalecolor collection. I did not dilute the paint, as I usually do when using Scalecolor paints, because I think that, except in the case of thin coatings, which are necessary to achieve extremely gradual and gentle transitions, they do not need it.

The next thing I painted on the figure were pants, belts and other leather details. For this purpose, I used the Walnut color from the Scalecolor collection.

Then I started painting the shoulder pads and bracelets on the wrists, as well as the iconography on the bar above the figure’s head, I painted these parts using the Decayed Metal color from the Scalecolor collection.

This was followed by silver metal (Heavy Metal - Scalecolor collection), these parts include both arms, buckles, belt holders, chains, protective caps on shoes, spikes on the collar, spare cartridge, metal plate on pants, bar handle handle figures and metal handles of weapons on the back of the figure.

About the same time I started painting the teeth and the inside of the figure's mouth. I started with Deep Red from the Scalecolor collection, then I put on Carroburg Crimson from Games Workshop for shadows. I also painted my teeth with Thar Brown paint from the Scalecolor collection.

Using the color Dubai Brown from the Scalecolor collection, I painted the leather straps of the weapon on the back of the figure, and the leather handle of the weapon in the right hand.

I also painted, just the color Orange Leather from the Scalecolor collection, a bag on the back of the figure, as well as gun cases on the back. I also painted the collar on the figure with Black Leather from the Scalecolor collection.

The next step in painting the figure was to apply shadows and give patina to metal parts (Wash - a filter that also works shading in the recesses on the figure). For this purpose I used Agrax Earthshade from Games Workshop and put two layers of the same. With Agrax Earthshade, I also darkened and shaded the weapon handles on both my back and right arm.

At the same time, I highlighted the bulging parts of the tongue and gums again with Deep Red, and completed this process with Aldebaran red, trying to keep the previous layers on the deeper parts as visible as possible. Any leaks of paint from the surface to the surface, usually on the teeth and green skin, I fixed with Irati Green or Thar Brown, depending on whether it is teeth or skin.

Then I started painting the teeth on the right shoulder guard with silver Heavy Metal from the Scalecolor collection, and I made, following the example of the orc Goff clan, black and white fields on the left shoulder guard.

I did this with a lot of trial and error, because it is a very detailed and precise technique of freehand drawing with a brush (freehand).

Finally, following the advice of my colleague Jure Cukar, whom I thank on this occasion, I started to add stronger shades on green skin, using two washes from Games Workshop, Druchii Violet (purple) and Biel-Tan Green (dark green), but I started with dark green first, so I intensified the deepest shades with purple.

Also, to give extra importance to the pieces of armor on the shoulders, I added using Heavy Metal and Black paint from the Scalecolor collection, an imitation of the damage from the battle on those surfaces.

    In this article I will briefly describe how I painted another set of three cars for Gaslands. Same as last time, I started with a black undercoat.

    Click for enlarged picture

    As I decided to keep the colour of the vehicles matt black, I left it at that and proceeded to paint the windshields. Using much the same method I used for the yellow crew, I applied the chosen paint scheme. Unlike blue windshields with the yellow crew, here I decided to use the yellow/red combo.

    I then added chrome.

    Click for enlarged picture

    In the end, I added metallic details such as guns etc.

    It was time to add the decals. I first painted all the surfaces with gloss varnish. Then I added the decals and after they set properly, I covered everything with Ultra Matt Varnish..

    And thus ended the painting process.

    S obzirom da sam odlučio da ovaj crew bude mat crn, farbanje karoserija sam tu prekinuo i počeo sam sa staklima. Slično kao i prošli put, koristio sam sličnu shemu, ali u drugim bojama. Za razliku od plavih refleksija na žutim autima, na crnima sam se odlučio za žuto/crvenu kombinaciju.

    Dodao sam krom.

    Na ovim autima, odlučio sam dodati i naljepnice. Prvo sam na površine s naljepnicama stavio gloss lak. Potom sam postavio naljepnicce i nakon što su se dobro osušile sam te iste površine prekrio mat lakom.

    In this article I will briefly describe how I painted a set of three cars for Gaslands. I started with a black undercoat and then applied a silver (Leadbelcher) spray as the base color.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Then I used the Rust effect from Dirty Down. Once the effect was dry, I sprayed the cars with a clear matte varnish to protect the layer of rust (which is activated when exposed to moisture). After the spray dried, I applied the Scratches and Heavy Chipping effect from Ammo by Mig Jimenez with a brush. After about fifteen minutes of drying, I sprayed the cars in yellow and let it dry for about 15 minutes. I used a brush to apply water over the cars and used a stiff brush, wooden skewer and cotton swab to remove the excess paint that was activated due to the Scratches and Heavy Chipping effects.

    Then came the painting. First I covered all the details that would not be yellow in black. Then I used blue to draw out the reflections on the glass. Added the metal details (engines and weapons). And finally added the chrome effects (using GSW paint). For the very end I left the engine shine effects.

    The painting of the cars for Gaslands is now complete.

    U ovom članku ću ukratko opisati kako sam bojao set od tri autića za Gaslands. Krenuo sam sa crnim undercoatom na kojeg sam stavio srebrni (Leadbelcher) sprej kao osnovnu boju.

    Potom sam koristio Rust efekt od tvrtke Dirty Down. Kada se posušio efekt, autiće sam posprejao bezbojnim mat lakom da zaštitim sloj hrđe (koja se aktivira u doticaju sa vlagom). Nakon što se sprej osušio, kistom sam nanio Scratches i Heavy Chipping efekt od Ammo by Mig Jimenez. Nakon petnaestak minuta sušenja, autiće sam posprejao u žuto i ostavio da se osuši cca 15 minuta. Kistom sam premazao vodu preko autića i tvrdim kistom, drvenim ražnjićem i štapićem za uši sam uklonio višak boje koji se aktivirao zbog Scratches i Heavy Chipping efekata.

    Zatim je uslijedilo bojanje. Prvo sve detalje koji neće biti žuti sam prekrio u crnu boju. Zatim sam izvukao plavom bojom refleksije na staklima. Dodao metalne detalje (motori i oružja). I na kraju dodao krom efekte (koristeći boju tvrtke GSW). Za sami kraj ostavio sam efekte sjaja motora.
