Mad Doc Drillteef D.D.S. Refurbish Project


I have been meaning to start a blog about my hobby progress and now seems as good a time as any. I just completed a short project involving the renovation of my WAAGH!'s warlord, Mad Doc Drillteef D.D.S.

This is what he looked like before I started.  Of course, this isn't a terrible conversion.  He's got the giant, over-the-top 'urty syringe, drill, and mask on.  It's pretty obvious he's a big ass Painboy.  He's just gotten long in the tooth. My warlord should evoke my abilities as a hobbyist and I've grown a lot since then.


So the Doc got cut up, which is fine because he's used to it.


I rummaged through my bitz and found an old Enterprise nacelle I could use for the Nitrous tank as well as some pintle turret bitz.


A snug fit.  I also added some chaos trophy poles.  I chose the one with Necrons and Space Marines because WAAGH! Drillteef hails from Ultima Segmentum and they are the WAAGH!'s main opponents.


I used the bussard ramscoop from the Enterprise model and filled it with hot glue to make a new 'urty syringe  I also cut the size of the "needle" down to a more sane (yet still over the top) size.


Start of the greenstuff work.



For the head, I started off with a fantasy Ork head because it'd be the easiest to put on the big warboss miniature's neck.


The best way to go about this is to build up around the base a little at a time so you get the right size. It's easy to get too big.  It might even be good to stop and let it dry when it's relatively small.  The greenstuff has a way of shifting while you work with it.


Here he is after day 1.


On day 2, I added the big scar across the top of his head, his big teef, and a few more bitz. I removed the heads from his belt; those were gross.


Here he is, completed in all his glory...









I am super happy with this model. I haven't received a lot of comments about  him, however.  Odd, that, but those comments I have received have been quite positive, so that's heartening.

Ordo Draconis Armies on Parade

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Orks either for F

2021 in Review and Looking Forward

Newly-painted models of 2021 Hobby progress was largely successful in 2021 with a huge focus on repainting old Orks into the new scheme.  Album for fully painted models of 2021: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CPwtmvia5UQLguka8 Album for repainted models of 2021:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/WxGgtThxS7M6bdmp6 By the numbers: Points fully painted: 4457 Models fully painted: 132 Points repainted: 5467 Models repainted: 205 Total points: 9924 Total models: 337 After completing all the repaints, I managed to get some army shots of the Orks, which doesn't include the new Megaboss or the Bossbunker, but it's most everything else, about 26,000pts in new money: Morkers Morkers Dreadmob Gorkers Mercenaries and Misc. 2022 For 2022, I have a lot of projects on the burner including more Orks, a Cities of Sigmar project, and Tau. As usual, the Rogue Trader idea keeps percolating and collecting one kit at a time in its little, plastic container. Orks: 9x Killa Kans 3x Deffkoptas (also need to rebase
