Mganga Moto Mwitaji

Moto Mwitaji is considered by many to be the bravest of all the Star Eagles' Mganga to the point where some say his zeal borders on suicidal.  As such, he is primarily deployed with the Chapter's Third Company or Eighth Company.  Mwitaji has always had a deep connection with fire, seeing it as a living force of nature.  He is often seen to commune with it in times of great need. This worship sets him apart from not only the other Mganga, but all the Star Eagles. Many of the Astartes are wary of the Mganga's strange spiritual nature, however they do not deny his assistance when it comes in a blast of heat and a wave of flame.

It was 11:30 last night when we finished our D&D session.  I'd drank an entire pot of coffee throughout the evening and was not really in the mode for sleep.  I found myself almost unconsciously reaching for the last gray plastic model in my Space Marines collection.  I was up until 3:30 painting him and I'm largely pleased with how he came out.

Please note that my Space Marines are a speedpaint army... they're there purely for quick and fun paint work and for a different army to play.

As such, the quality on my Star Eagles pales in comparison to my Orks.  I still think Mr. Mwitaji is awesome, though.

The expressive face on the plastic Librarian model is really quite wonderful.

I love the layered textures on this model.  It makes for a challenging
paint job, but a very interesting model in the end.

You'll notice some Grey Knight and Dark Angels bitz used here. I'm
saving the flying war baby for my Saint Celestine model.
Mwitaji's Brand can incinerate even the mightiest of foes in one swing!
Sgt. Taia in this picture represents the usual paint scheme for the Star
Eagles.  As the Chapter's Pyromancer, this Mganga has chosen to tint his
armor red and don yellow, flame-retardant cloth.

  1. What?! I can't believe you painted him that color! That's just ridiculous and totally inappropriate!

    Every KNOWS that Librarians wear BLUE armor...

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
