Welcoming three new boys to Mektown!

 

The beginning of Mektown.

So for this update, I was planning on showing off more Bretonnian Knights, but instead we're taking a ride into Mektown! On a whim, Richard and I decided to put together some MDF terrain I had bought years ago designed for Warhammer 40k Orks. I've got quite a bit of terrain to put together, and I selected to put together the Grub Hut and the Grog Tank, white Richard put together the more difficult Ork Lookout Tower.

Yoofs on the Lookout.

Of course I wasn't done there, pulling out a can of black spray, I sprayed them both top to bottom, inside and out, and begun to dry brush them all silver. During this, Richard was getting a crash course on painting orks, with these three orks as the test subjects. While he was painting his ork, I was fixating on painting the terrain, along with painting two of the models alongside him.

Richards Yoof in the centre, the others are mine.

The centre ork is the one Richard painted, and we used all Army Painter paints to paint them. They are old models from the old Gorkamorka starter set from way back in 1997. These models I like simply because they are a mix of the old goofy Space Ork models and the new direction that Orks went when the new Orks went around this time.

They are quite a bit small for this terrain though, but that's fine since they will mostly be used as Yoofs for any mob they join, young inexperienced orks who need to cut their teef and prove they are tough!

Yoofs are in charge!

The terrain was quite simple to paint, with red and white and green to sprinkle some colour around on panels and the signage. Bronze was also dry brushed sparingly around to simulate rusting to an extent, and even to paint the grating and some panels too. Considering this all took one afternoon from construction to finished paintjob, I'm quite pleased with the results.

Until next time!
