I’m proud to showcase the next 250 points of my 40k Ork army
for the narrative escalation campaign that I’m organizing. The campaign has
been going really well and it’s been such a blast getting to play more games!
The orks are doing surprisingly well, having only suffered one loss out of four
official games so far.
Now that we’re bumping up to the 750 point level I decided
to include a unit of Lootas to provide some more dakka for my army, as well as
a Big Mek with a Kustom Force Field to help keep said lootas alive and have
them move and shoot. These are painted using the same techniques and schemes as
my initial 500 points, with a real emphasis on speed painting and no
highlighting whatsoever outside of multiple ink washes.
I’m relatively pleased with how the converted Big Mek turned
out, and the Kastellan parts certainly came out looking as beat up as I wanted.
I really enjoyed incorporating the brass/copper metals on the Kastellan
portions, and figuring out how to paint the green patina these materials accrue
was a blast. I do think the patina is a little sloppy around the rim of his
head, but otherwise it looks alright!

The model does feel a little dark
overall, as does the rest of the army, although I don’t think I’ll be bothered
enough to go back and highlight stuff in the future. Also the darkness helps
draw attention to their signature orange skin, which was super minimal on this
particular model so I’m glad I managed to emphasize it so much.
I'll be sure to post more closeups of other units in the army, as well as a picture with everything all together. Thanks for looking!
