Painting 'Black Reach' Orks

I hated Orks till I painted a couple.

The plan was to just to practice dry brushing, but now I'm thinking I'd like army of these guys one day...

I finally got around to painting my first "big" guy, standing at about 3" high he towers over the orcs.

I spent a couple weeks slowly working on him, and while he's far from perfect, I'm happy with him.

Rawr.

Starting on some Chaos Terminators

This is my first time messing with green stuff. I was really happy with how the posing turned out, but I should have done a better job of cleaning up the excess.

C'est la vie.

More on these guys later!

Painting 'Black Reach' Space Marines

I'd had the 'Assault on Black Reach' 40k starter set for about a 6 months before I decided to paint it.

It was a spontaneous decision. I honestly thought I'd find painting miniatures to be tedious and hard and had no intention of painting the anything when I bought the set. It is tedious and hard, but I like it anyway.

I started painting before I'd read any 'fluff', so I didn't realize I was painting 'Ultramarines' so similarly to 'Black Templar'. Oh well, I don't even like Space Marines.

Now Chaos...there's an army!

This is the first painting I've done, so please excuse the gloppy mess. All tips, tricks and comments are always welcome!
