Quarantine Roundup 3 - June 10 to July 26

As the summer moves apace, more opportunities for outside excursions have developed, so the progress has been somewhat lighter than in previous roundups, but I still have lots to report.



June 18: I volunteered more time to paint up three more marines for the 100-marine charity challenge on the 1 Hour a Night Facebook Group. We should be getting a lot more shipped in and then I can start putting together the display case for them.




June 25: I decided it was high time that I get the Mekboy Workshop painted up. This was gifted to me by my FLGS when the codex was released. What a delightful kit! I also added a few extra grots.



July 8: After a good week of hobby hiatus (though I was working diligently on researching and preparing podcast material for the 9th edition release) I finally completed the repaint of El Queso Grande. As usual, this involved replacing the red with blue and intensifying the yellow while making various other touch-ups here and there.


July 11: I spent this rainy Saturday updating Da Steemrolla. I thought it was high time for some more flames. Although this model was already yellow, the work was fairly significant. The deffrolla is from Puppetswar.


July 20: The repaint of the Flashy Ride was far more significant and included the removal of the original Zzapgun and shield on the front. I, then, created a custom deffrolla and set it up so I could magnetize either foredeck.



July 22: The Disciples of Purity (the fallen Black Dragons from Death of Antagonis) got a new Elites member.



Ongoing Projects: The two big projects in progress are the Gahzghkull Meets Gahzghkull diorama and the Looted Thunderhawk. These are quite daunting.

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

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
