Orktober continues apace. The Gorkanaut is (final greebling aside) complete. The Morkanaut build has started, and I've finished the motion platform, rebuilt the engine to look mekier, and started on some of the more incidental detail.

#nerdlings #warhammerCommunity #orks #orktober #warhammer40k

The beginning of the morkanaut. From this angle, you can see that the horns traditional on an orkanaut have been replaced with I-beam spikes. A mek gun has been placed on top of the mech, with some pistons holding it up just visible below. A forest of tesla gubbins peak out from behind the mech.

Shown from behind, there are many more modifications for the morkanaut. The regular fuel tank has been replaced with a larger one. The engine has been almost completely rebuilt with a spread of tesla towers and power coils. From this position too the usual hatch has been removed and boxed in to provide additional support for the gun platform.

A heavily converted Gorkanaut, unpainted. It has two stubby arms with multi-barreled gatling guns, and rockets mounted to the outside of those. It has a small recessed machine gun turret on top, and more machine guns on one shoulder. In front, it has a spiked roller, which is attached to chain hoists to raise it so the front (which is a door to a troop compartment) may open.

The same gorkanaut, but from behind, showing that each arm gun has an ork piloting(?) it. THe engine has also been upgraded with more exhausts and more pipe.

Here are some progress photos and thoughts on the painting process for my latest orc. Check the alt text!

As I know some will ask, I did film most of the process and I will edit it at some point. Cheers!

1. This is just primer, rougly applied. It approximates my shadow colors. The light is set above and to the front and I use that for lighting reference.
2. Very roughly blocking out the main light and shadow areas.
3. A bit more work on the skin. Nothing is done except for the eyes which I like to finish first because it's very messy for the area around them. At this point I realized that I don't want to paint the metal tips on the boots so I decided to shave them off. Really wish I had done that before painting.
4. I've done more work all around but nothing is really complete. At this point, I find it easier to take this photo and edit it on my computer to quickly try out the next steps. This is great for me because I can try many things in a relatively short amout of time.
5. Almost done. I ended up switching the light direction on the axe blade and kept it darker as the front side is angled slightly downwards.
6. Done and varnished. The light on the leg is weaker because of the matte finish. I intentionally wanted to suggest a matte surface for the fabrics, but now I'm thinking it would have looked better with a highlight.

Starting off Orktober with a wacky one! Limited palette experiment using Ninjon's Deck of Many Colors, ended up pulling a card with mostly cool tones and found it challenging to paint the metals but we made the most of it! Very fun experiment overall 😎

One more plastic gretchin from the latest range, 9 of each kind left to paint 👀
