Karitas, over at Excommunicatus Traitoris [link] has made good on his promise to paint up a character figure of my choice, after I won a prize on his blog...and boy, did he do a blinding job on it! I am sooooooo chuffed with this model!
The pics he took speak for themselves...:
It's my conversion of Nork Deddog from a very old Ogryn model that I did years ago (based on that story from the old Codex where Nork salutes with the wrong hand after dragging his officer from a urning Chimera). Here's the parlous state the model was in when I sent it off to Karitas:
I can take no credit for this at all, but please show your appreciation for Karitas's awesome paint job!

Very glad he meets with your approval sir. was such good fun to paint all the lovely sharp detail. makes the newer ogryn models look like badly cast children's toys.
ReplyDeleteToo true, mate. And thanks again!
DeleteSkin looks really nice. What a cool looking model. Lucky sod. ;)
ReplyDeleteYup: I love how Karitas has managed to paint variety onto what to me was just a broad, flat area.
DeleteAbsolutely awesome! Nork has long been my favorite IG character, and that is a fantastic rendition using a great old-school model!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Mordian!
DeleteWhen this post popped up I thought "oh Drax has modelled himself again" ...Just kidding!!
ReplyDeleteKaritas, what a paint job! Far out it is stunning!
And saluting with the wrong hand is brilliant Drax.
Oh ha, ha, ha!

Cheers, Ackland...
