Finally finished my Deffkilla wartrike let me know how it turned out!

Warbikes: The paint palette Mournfang Brown for the tires and ground base, Balor Brown for the seats and handle bars, Bleached Bone for the front and back rolled up tarps, Pig Iron for the bulk of the metals, Quick Silver for the headlamps, Troll Slayer Orange to serve as a base for the Big Top Red that will go on the gun barrels, front fender, hoses, and exhausts and black and white for touchups/repairs. Red acrylics are usually a bit thin so painting an area orange first makes for a stronger red and better depth of color. If you make a mistake and need to repaint something you can use white or black to blot over the mistake and redo it.

The paints are from four different manufacturers, Citadel makes a lot of really good products at the moment, that hasn’t always been the case though. At one point their bottle designs caused the paints to dry out ridiculously fast. I use a lot of white, particularly as a dry-brushing base, so the big cheap bottle works great for that. Find what works for you. I’ve done all of the small parts and I’ve started putting on the Pig Iron for the main body metals on the column of bikes on the left. I thought the Pig Iron would be darker and unfortunately it’s only a little darker than the Quicksilver on the headlamps.

I love Ork warbikes. I have a pile of old Ork warbikes from 23 years ago that were never finished. Some were missing cannons but I found I had a bag of Tau bits and I was able to glue them onto the warbikes. I figure the Mekboys reworked the Tau particle cannons to shoot big, heavy, slow-moving slugs. After all, if you can’t see streams of chunky bullets flying out of your guns what good are they? Ork philosophy there. I did have four bikes finished from back in the day, here is three of them;

They’re a bit dusty. Under the old rules you couldn’t bring many bikes, but they also used to have twin-linked auto-cannons and generated smokescreens from their exhaust that provided cover saves for any troops behind them. A bit silly and over-powered back then, much more balanced now, and the current lists allow biker swarms. After finishing the mods and making sure they all have the same 25mm x 50mm base they all get black primer so the paint jobs will all have the same base. There are eleven bikes, plus riders, to paint, but they are all using the same color scheme/palette and that should help get this done quicker.
