Building Permits Approved in Mektown!

Some Orky Wallls.

Todays update is more Orky buildings. These pieces of terrain were built by Richard, which he made an update for here Orktism is kicking in. These are MDF laser cut terrain he put together a few weeks ago, and I've finally gotten around to painting them. I painted them with craft paints from Shuttle Arts, a cheap 40 dollar set excellent for painting terrain pieces.

Shuttle Arts Craft Paint.

I started with a black primer on the buildings using Army Painter Matt Black, but in the future I'm going to look for a cheap alternative from the hardware store, since the rattle can from Army Painter is over 25 dollars usually. Following the primer, I applied two coats of silver dry brush all over the whole thing, followed by a two to one mix of gold and brown, and dry brushing along the edges and covering grates and gribbles.

The Main Gate.

The red and the white were the dominant block colours I used to break up the terrain, to make it look ramshackle and bodged together. I like the white washed look of the white, and the other colours also look like a poor paint job by these orks that built these walls and buildings, which fits perfectly in orky culture.

A ruined wall section.

The yellow was quite difficult to apply in a meaningful way and it was the only colour I felt needed another coat just to make it stand out. These two pieces really fit together and it wasn't until I painted them did I realise that they are part of the same wall section, but broken apart by what I imagine is a rather large explosion or an over eager truck racer.

The walls and a small tent?

The green didn't apply as well as I expected it to, with most greens I've used going on quite smooth and well, but the colours all applied about as well as one another, with the yellow being the most difficult, but that's most yellows anyway. I used yellow and green sparingly, with green the least used out of all of them.

The gate actually goes up and down.

Overall quite pleased with how these terrain pieces are coming along, quite easy to paint and looking excellent. Can't wait to get them all on a table and have my Orks duke it out with Richards Salamanders.
