The Electrork Mayhem Project Begins

A while back, my buddy, Pat bought me a Warbus from Puppetswar. Everybody in the world loves this model. I've wanted to do something special with it from the start. Now is the time. I've decided to do it in the style of the bus belonging to The Electric Mayhem in the Muppet Movie.

As you may know, the leader of The Electric Mayhem is Dr.Teeth. This is unbelievably appropriate, I think.

The symbol for DrTeeth is AMAZING. I'd never noticed it before. It's a tooth with wings and lightningbolts shooting out the sides. Seriously, I may have to add this iconography throughout my army.

Anyways, here's the bus with a basecoat of white. The deffrolla is the standard kit from Games Workshop. I can't lie, the Battlewagon Upgrade Kit is an ace product. The fact that it comes with a cool, little Grot Rigger and a Lobba is icing on the cake.

As usual, I am extremely pleased with my airbrush. It makes my life so much easier. Here's the bus with some rusty red on it.

And here it is with a brighter red, some brown blended near the ground, and the blue/purple faded on the top.

I've got a bunch of housework tonight so this is it for now. Tomorrow I'm going to look for other basecoating/airbrushing opportunities, then I'm going to give it a seal. This model is extremely heavy, so it dings rather easily. A good seal will assure I don't have to go back and paint dings a million times. It also makes it easier to use my "erasing" technique.

In case you didn't see my video about painting Orks faster, erasing is a simple process. If you've done a clearcoat on your model before doing details (preferably a gloss or semigloss varnish), you can make mistakes without worry. When you make a mistake, simply wash away the paint with an extremely wet brush, then take a dry brush and soak up all the paint-infused water. Repeat if necessary.

Okay, until next time!

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

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
