Quarantine Roundup 1: March 20 - April 26

So far, despite the hardships throughout the world, my own experiences with the Quarantine have been very productive. Painting miniatures is very therapeutic.  I painted a lot of characters that have been sitting on my shelf and they've been a great palate cleanser and also cleared some big wedges from my backlog.

April 1: This rad rocker is done in my pink Emperor's Children scheme except without the mad motley of other colors. The purple does such a better job that I am considering dragging out the rest of my Noise Marines to repaint them.


April 2: This Anvils of the Heldenhammer Leena Stormspire was another personal challenge to take time and have patience during the work. I almost succeeded. I mean, I was done in a day, so I clearly didn't truly give her the time she deserved.


April 4: My swamp-dwelling Defenders of S'val Necrons force have a new Cryptek, The Hag. She says "peace out!" This is another one thatd' been sitting around for some time.


April 5: I bought this fella with the intent of using him in Hero Quest, but we recently wrapped our game up. Still, I thought it'd be nice to give Slambo the paint job he deserves. This is also my go at Contrast over metallic.


April 12: I wrapped up these 56 old Saurus Warriors, a fun ebay find, in about a week. I am very excited to finally try out  two giant blocks of Saurus as these are in addition to forty others that I've already got.



April 16: I painted a fourth Weirdboy. Because sure, why not? And the "Red" Gobbo had to be added to my army!



April 16: I painted a couple of models for a charity auction that 1 Hour a Night is doing and they were a lovely palate cleanser. First, I did the Exorcist...


April 20: Then the Praetor of Orpheus.



April 25: I had a load of Gretchin in my backlog because my friends are jackasses.


April 26: After painting the Gretchin, I took the squad of 19 I already had done with blue guns and repainting them, turning their white clothes yellow and highlighting up their skin a bit.



After all that, this is what remains of my Warhammer hobby -- 3 Titanicus Knights, Tech Priest Grombrindal, two Squigs, old Ghazghkull & Makari, the Unmade Warband, the Splintered Fang Warband, the Elucidian Starstriders, the original Blackstone Fortress models, two Inquisitors, a couple of Victoria Miniatures models, Huron Blackheart, and a giant turtle dude.

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
