Been doing some work on the DC guys tonight wanted your opinions, as i have been looking at the chain swords and they were not painted yet i tried painting one of them yellow and tried to add white to the blood gems. What do you guys think.

Well i picked up a black reach box over the weekend, To both bulk out my Blood angles army and to start some sort of ork army.

I have never painted orks before and wanted to try it for a while now. Started off with the warboss as I do really like the model.

Let me know what you think of him and offer up any tips you can on how i can improve.

ork warboss pretty much done now

No pictures just yet will put some up on Wednesday, This post is mainly to tell you about a challenge I have given myself with the help of my girlfriend.

Many of you will remember my ork warboss, He is from the wonderful Assault on Black Reach Box I added an "Iron Gob" to Him to make him slightly more imposing



My Challenge is to do with him in a way, and it is as follows:

I have 3 weeks till the middle of may - the 17th to be precise To paint the remaining orks from the box set.

Now this challenge won't be easy Its a large amount of troops and not a lot of time, I will be doing an assembly line method and painting groups of them at once to try get it done faster, Now I know the quality wont be wonderful as it will be a speed painting job for table top gaming except for the HQ and main guys as I will be painting them separately to the challenge I have

The models I have to paint as part of the challenge are as follows:

20x Ork Boyz

5x Ork Nobz

3x Ork Defcopters

The other stuff I have that isn't part of the 3 week challenge are as follows:

Big Mek With KFF

Painboy and Grot Orderly

Ghazgkhull Thrakka

I'm not doing these guys with the main force because I want them to be finished to the best of my ability and speed painting wont do that,

Now as I said the challenge is to get the Box built up and painted in 3 weeks to a table top standard, Which i'm confident I can do, After that I will go back to make them even better once my painting skills get better, I want to be able to do the ork checkerboard pattern on some of them and add other little bits of detail at some point.

So for now I'm off will be priming all the troops and other parts tonight/tomorrow morning.
