Orktober: The Durty Duzen


Celebrating Orktober with my first ever 40k Ork skwad! These are my Durty Duzen: the Kommandos from the new Kill Team boxed set.  I put a bit of love into them over the past month and am rather stoked with how they finished up overall.
Fantastic figs these - wonderfully characterful. Kommandos are know to use Camo so I used a whole range of different, real-world schemes on them. Fun (though time consuming) to research and experiment.  I also used lots of purple on them to show their 'Sneeky Kunnin' (have you ever seen a Purple Ork? :-)

Introducin' da boyz of the Durty Duzen:

A Boss and 'is Bomb Squig


Kommando Boy, Breacha Boy, and Dakka Boy (love his WW2 Commando look)

Kommando Boy, Snipa Boy and Burna Boy

Slaha Boy, Kommando Grot, and Rokkit Boy


Dakka Boy and Comms Boy

Stormin' Normin' Krumpkopf, veteran Kommando Nob


Ork flesh was done in desaturated tones: Black Undercoat- Base Coat Loren Forest - 2nd Base (on muscles) Elysian Green - Highlight Ogryn Camon (applied in a glaze style). 

Basing was Armageddon Dunes technical, Sepia wash, drybrush with Zandri dust, then Vallejo Afrika Tank Crew, superhighlight with Wraithbone on stones only.


Can't wait to get these boyz into action against Reilly's Krieg, which he is painting up now.

    I too lo e the new Kommando models and all their little features, as you mentioned the WW2 Commando looking boy is brilliant.
    I do like the various camo you've used across the mob, that looks great.
