Grots!

I honestly don't want to know how many hours it took me to finish these. I've now got three squads of thirty and one squad of twenty Grots. I already had ten of each of the yellow, red, and orange Grots. These had suffered a rather catastrophic frosting incident involving Games Workshop's terrible Purity Seal product and I did get a chance to fix that a little bit, though the gun barrels and some of the flock is still sub-par.

I also got an opportunity to paint the Warboss a good friend of mine gave me from his last tournament winnings. I've always wanted a warboss model to represent the "All the Attacks" build with Attack Squig and little else. SEVEN attacks on the charge at Strength 6? Sure! I'd try that!

I haven't decided on a name for him yet, however.

My Process:

Basecoat with Valspar Labrador Brown

Drybrush with Boltgun/Leadbelcher, heavy on metal areas, light on other areas.

Basecoats. I mainly use Apple Barrel paints.

Dark brown wash, then highlights.

Basing. My orks use a heavy amount reddish brown/wood glue mix dipped in sand, then decorated with stones and a bit of flock. The world is meant to be one where there is a great deal of rain but also a lot of solar activity so it's muddy, but dries quickly.

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.

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
