Hey all, today I thought I’d show a Ironjawz Megaboss that I finished painting a few days ago.
I have had this model sitting around on my work desk since it’s day of release. The model itself for a Orc is pretty big. I have used unfinished Stormcast in the final photo to show size comparison. I painted the model in seperate pieces and then glued it together I’d say about 70% in as this way it was easier to get to all those hard areas such as the face. This is not something I would normally do, but for this model it made thing’s alot easier.
My plan is to build up a small AOS army to play at my local store. I’m finding it really hard to decide which army to choose. My ideal armies are Nurgle Daemon, Ironjawz or Undead. I will paint a sample model for each and then go with whichever one was the most fun. What do you think?

This is phenomenal. I knew these models would look much better in a dark and gritty style, rather than the cartoonishly bright colors GW did them up in.
Hello! I've been looking for a long time for a good looking Ironjawz armour – and here I've found one. Can you share a short tutorial? I can see dark iron here, some copper, lighter and darker, white… but I can't see the way you've made it work like this. 😉
Such and awesome scheme and great work dude? I am semi new painter can you share your method and colors that u used to achieve that awesome? I want to try something gimiliar
That Stormcast looks really cool, what paints did you use for the dirty silver?
WOW! Just WOW! I know I've been critical before…but this is one time I am breathless. F@cking beautiful and mysterious at the same time.
Hey cheers Tim. I really enjoyed this guy, so much I just went out and picked up some of the Brutes.

Apologies for being Anon, but that is frickin awesome work. Do more, I want to see more. I think this style really suits your work. F-n love it.
Wow, that's an insane amount of greens and yellows! I was hoping there'd be like three 🙂 I really like your colour scheme though, it really makes him look green and sinister instead of green and cartoony like most orks tend to look. This guy really looks like he'd rip the head off of any poor sod he'd happen to run into just because that's what he'd feel like doing 🙂
I think I'm going to try to pick three of the colours you've used and a couple of the shades and hope I can achieve something like 75% of what you've done.
It is a lot of greens. If your going to pick up just three of them I would go with Vallejo Yellow Olive, Tank Green and Interior Green. That way you can lighten and darken them and Cheers for the compliments 🙂
I'm going shopping for greenz tomorrow. I already bought a box of brutes today 🙂 Cheers and many thanks for the pointers!
Damn it, I was all but decided on running stormcast eternals for AoS but now I'm really tempted to go with Ironjawz instead! 🙂 The models are awesome and your paintjob sure do them justice! Would you mind sharing what colours you're using to achieve the lovely green skin tone? It's really awesome!
Hey, it was quite a long process and I generally used colours going from the darkest to the brightest. Then applied washes of GW purples, blues and Vallejo smoke inbetween. The green used in order are Vallejo yellow olive, tank green german green, interior green, hemp, dead flesh, egg green and german yellow. It was all a bit of a splatterfest.
I think that is awesome. Really blew me away seeing that just now! D
