Under Pressure



Like many of you, I've got a ton of stuff still to do for Adepticon.  I have to finish building our display board, paint my Warkopta, and go through all the units in my lists and touch them up for appearance. Some units desperately need stronger highlights and I'm adding Armorcast muzzle flares to my Shoota Boyz units.  I also need to build an Aegis Defense Line that looks like a speaker stack.




Update... it's so RED!
Of course, I still have the titan project that has had more progress, but not nearly enough to make me feel like I'm getting out from under it any time soon which is rather demoralizing.  I have a free day between Adepticon and going back to work, so I think I'll use that day to try and finish the build on the first Titan.



I may also have to skip Dominion Squad Jessie for my March Hobby Progress Challenge.  I just don't see how I can do it this week.  We'll see how the work on the display board goes.  If I finish everything in time, maybe I'll get them painted up the day before Adepticon.



Here's the Kanban as it stands now.  That which does not kill us makes us stronger.



Alright folks. Wish me luck in the weeks to come.  Summer is coming and with it a new Ork Codex release.  I need to make a bunch of progress before that happens because I have a feeling that I won't be able to pay attention to anything else for a long time after.

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
