Oh, is that battle fortress conversion or regular kit? Looks like a baneblade with battlewagon bits on top and a couple of spares from the orkjet attached to the side. Oh and a big spikey deff roller, is that Forgeworld? |

The Battlefortress is pretty awesome! The only thing I'd suggest to do to it before painting is to cut/scrape off the Aquila symbols, or cover them up with some Ork glyph plates.  |

Depending on the paint scheme you might be able to just graffiti the Aquila.

lol yeah I forgo to scrubb the humi symbols off, most are covered! and yes its an old baneblade from ebay fused with battlewagon biuts and well spotted the dakka jet bits! the deff rolla is from the ork vehicle extras sprue you can buy direct from games workshop! ive got some boys and some gretchin crew to go on still but need to paint and place them still, I want it so the turret can still turn incase im ever up against some one who sais "you can't shoot at me because you turret can't turn all the way around" lol |

3 Colours + Based minimum, any models which do not adhere to that rule are at -1 Armour Save. You should come anyway, despite they Greyness another Ork player would be a great help! Oh and a number of IGMB guys are going so it's gonna be like a mini meet-up What about many fine colours but not based? All my orks are based but my jets right now, which I can base easily but I was going to drag my feet until I did some sweet bases for them. Though I can probably get those done in time anyway. |

^ lmfao some kid at the local GW took plastic models - not undercoated - and washed them black and put flock on the bases to one of the Warhammer World Invasions. *Facepalm* Actually, back in the day, if I recall correctly, GW used to wash bare metal (lead at the time, and later pewter) minis with the old, old black ink prior to photographing them for the catalogs so there would be better contrast to show off the details on the figure. |

yeah I still have a couple of mini's undercoated like that, people used to use the black wash as a primer because they thought it made things look more metallic.
