Impressive to see a unit that size all painted to such a high standard. So much more interesting and characterful than the usual 2nd edition plastic monopose gretchin mob.

Man, they are great! They are obviously very well painted, but I also like the great variety of colours you have chosen for them.

Nice job on your paint! I like the way the grots are all different skin tones. Looks marvellous.

 

[Suber]

These all look great. Wow, really nice job.

 

[Subedai]

Thanks all for the feedback! Any variation in colours throughout the Gretchin mob mostly came about due to them being painted over the course of nearly twenty years... However I do try to achieve this more purposefully now as well by mixing up the base colours and washes I use for the skin.

The latest addition to the warband is a Mekboy with his Gretchin attendant.

I always did like that particular mekboy. He looks good!

 

[Suber]

Oi! So luvly!

Really nice, I'm impressed by the skintones.

 

[daddyorchips]

yeah, your ork skintones are pretty special. they're wonderfully lifelike.

I've always stuck to Warhammer Fantasy, so I dont know anything about old 40k stuff. Its really nice to learn about it here The Mek looks great

 

[Subedai]

Thank you for the feedback! I'm keeping my skintone method quite simple, and the results do vary over time. It's a base mid-green, followed by Athonian Camoshade wash and then highlighting with thinned Rotting Flesh. Sometimes a bit of pure white on knuckles etc.

Since it's Orktober, I'm expanding the Warboss' retinue with its first Boss and a Gretchin attendant.

 

[Subedai]

Two more Nobz finished for the retinue.
