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 is a picture of the Nob:

Here he is a little closer up:

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

Here he is leading da boyz into battle:

My Very First Ork

Perhaps this thread is a bit ambitious, but I think it would be fun to document the building of my Ork Waaagh! from start to finish.

So here is my very first ork wearing just some basecoated skin and a wristband:

And here he is all finished and ready for combat! Waaagh!!
