I'm no Dentist...
Today has been good for me, particularly as I managed to get the last bit of the Ork Slugga sculpted and painted. Made from about half a pack of Milliput, I did this;
I tried to do my best to sculpt in as much realistic detail, based on pictures of teeth from Crocodiles, big cats and bears. I did a base coat of brown using CarPlan Colour Match Brown-03 (why would anyone want a car in that colour?) which helped give a deep, lustrous colour as well as smooth out the surface of the tooth, more similar to natural enamel. I then washed it using Agrax Earthshade to give the other paints something better to cling to. I then over brushed with Karak Stone, Ushabti Bone, Screaming Bell and a little White Scar, occasionally stippling to smooth out some of the transitions and add in some additional detail. Again, I had pictures of real teeth as a reference.
Finally I hung it from the pistol's grip using a spare strip of the same material I used on the grip. I still want to weather the gun back a bit, make it grimier looking. I may also apply this to the tooth as well so it doesn't stand out too much. I'll have to see how it all comes together.

I'll admit, these last few posts have been as much about adding content to Ex instinctu Imperator (though this one if more X inStinktoo Gork or possibly Mork !), but from next week onwards I hope to set more of a schedule. Either way, make sure to check back often to make sure you don't miss a thing!
