Lockdown is no fun for those who like to be out and about exploring new places. Which obviously means I need to paint the ork equivalent. The Blood Axe Kommandos
Now those who have been following me online here may have noticed the occasional photo of some Blood Axe Kommandos appearing here and there. (The Kill Team Battle report had a couple) whilst I believe this photo below also appeared at some point
On and off I have tackled these lads but never made a serious attempt to get them all done (still have two more somewhere but they can wait). That is until the quarantine came along.
Kommando models from 2nd edition are so full of character you never quite realise they are finished. Much like a Rob Liefeld comic from the late 90s they have so many pouches, kitbags, knives, ropes it's a treat to paint them. One of them even has a grappling hook.
What started as a bit of drab grey uniform (never really liked the old red gear they had in the 90s) became more of a mountain/ski/fashion camouflage with blue/white/grey as if I'm going to have some Blood Axe Kommandos I want them to blend in and disappear so you'll never see them again, just like Marcus in Indiana Jones :D
How did I go about this colour scheme you ask?
In total I got six of them painted and I'm pleased with the results. Need to tweak the Kaptin's bionic eye after taking these photos as it isn't super tidy.
I took this a while back and thought I would share an in progress shot of them all in various states of painting.
There you have it the complete squad of Blood Axe Kommandos ready to do some sneaking behind enemy lines :)
Until Next Time.

How did I go about this colour scheme you ask?
- White undercoat
- Base layers of goblin green skin, codex grey clothing, rhinox brown for weapons.
- Wash of Chaos black
- A wavy splodge of marine blue scattered across the clothes/gear of the model.
- A wavy splodge of grey/black scattered across the clothes/gear of the model.
- A wavy splodge of skull white scattered across the clothes/gear of the model.
- Various pouches, medipacks, knifes and ropes get various browns & army green.
- Axe blade and boltgun get a metal drybrush.
- Rhinox brown wash on everything that isn't clothing.
- Power axe cable gets Genestealer purple, followed by Lucius Lilac drybrush
- Beanie hat is Marine blue base and nauseous blue wash.
- Guns get evil sunz red for the casing.
- Models based in my usual way.

The all grey camouflage wasn't all that popular.
I took this a while back and thought I would share an in progress shot of them all in various states of painting.
