Not sure why, but I decided to start this too even though I'm no where near completing my tower gate. Trying to make this look epic scale by adding Orks to the structure to start with. Although a bit reluctant, I'm now planning to decorate the inside of the head.

One stand to paint and the small Tower Mob is done. So I thought I'd start on the tower/gate itself. Pieces cut from the Stompa sprue seems too thick, hence the sprue that I had left from the Epic Tyranids is used instead. However I only have one of these and there is still Tyranids on the remaining sprues I have.
My slowly growing collection of paints, although a varied experience with each. I've used the black most and its perfect quality and consistent paint that I can get perfect droplets out. The yellow and desert yellow I'm still getting quite oily paint lacking consistent pigments. The white was extremely oily with no pigments despite a lot of shaking. This luckily has stopped, however unlike the perfect controlled drops out of the black bottle, the white spurts large thicker blobs. I tried the weapon bronze and luckily like the black is a good quality. I've not used the others yet, but hopefully they are OK.
Although not as convenient as painting from bottles, I do see these lasting longer and less waste. At least small droplets dry up rather than half a pot as it was with the paints in the background.
Finally got the first part of my planned Tower Gun Mob. I decided to have two Lootas with heavy weapon per stand. The middle Ork has a large rifle and tool. The remaining two position would be padded with the standard Orks. Currently I have one stand with three Nobz, two with duel heavy weapon and one with a super heavy weapon on one shoulder. I don't plan to fill the gap. Now the choice of either painting these or work on other stands.
Running out of enthusiasm to make more as exhausted the ideas on how to make these look varied and different. I like the uniformed look though, so not sure whether to mix these with other none custom Orks. Arms are not my favourite thing to make either as the elbow is quite difficult to shape. I need at least six more stands. Any thoughts or ideas?
