Nob Painted
After a long hiatus from WH40K and orks, I have once again immersed myself in it (eventually I hope to find a middle ground between hiatus and immersion, but that’s another topic completely). I recently painted my Ork Nob. For those who don’t know, a Nob is an ork who is bigger and more important than a regular ork, but not as big and important as a warboss.
This is only the 9th ork I’ve ever painted, and it was a significant paint job because this is the first time I ever tried painting:
- Checker patterns
- Chipped/battle-damaged paint (most notably on his power klaw and boss pole)
- Highlighting on the skin rather than drybrushing
It’s not perfect but I’m really happy with the way it came out!
Here he is a little closer up:

Here he is from the side so you can see his beat up power klaw:

I saw this Ork in his living flesh and it was amazing! I’m bothered by having a chain as a carry sling on his gun. I guess orks have no respect for their weapons or their own comfort but it bugs me.
