Cheers Slowly getting there!

Blimey, page 2! Time for a very brief update then. Not much progress in the past few days. Just a little work on Ghaz.

Skaven/Kroot/Tau kitbash test for me today, and the Mrs got herself a Dread Knight and Kalidor Draigo.

The Mrs finished her Grey Knight banner

that banner is very nice. I also like the progress on gazz.

So the good lady made herself some custom bases out of glass discs and printed out ice texture.
Looks pretty damn effective, I think. (Clicky for bigger)

i am very impressed at the simplicity of the ingeniousness. However, dont drop the mini...ever...

Heh, I know, right? But it adds a very nice weight to the mini. They're a lot more satisfying to hold, and actually easier due to the weight being at the bottom.
I can't compete with my wife's standard of painting, but Ghaz is getting closer to completion.

Puppets war have been in touch about the Orcoplane, and are sending me a new one. YAY! And they haven't asked for the other one back, so it's going to become a crashed orcoplane for scenery. YAY!
Which is just as well because I'm a bit disappointed with how Ghaz has turned out. Well, tried some new things, and first time painting on GW finecast resin. Live and learn.

awe your painting is good, just not enough patience to do all the layers for sheer win! And that is fantastic news. <Farns Worth> Hmmm Yes... Awweeee.... Wuhh? </Farnsworth>

Nice orks you have there squidbot...but I'm really loving the skavenaughts...never enough ratties in space.

Look forward to seeing more spacerats....

Cheers guys
No new mini painting this week, for two reasons.
Firstly we have a new cat, he's a stray that turned up at a friends house. He's about 8 months and is terrorizing our resident cat.

And the other reason is a new project:



I'm pretty sure many of you will know what this is going to be.

i got money on judge dredd.. just saying.

Heh, wasn't much of a bet
Not much in the way of updates. Been busy giving up smoking (Yay!), cutting off the new cats balls (Boo!) and cutting off all my hair (WTF!).
But things are starting to take shape Dredd wise.

Supply drop! So, puppets war sent me a replacement for the awful Orc Plane I bought. This time it was packed far better and the quality of the plane overall is much better.
And they threw in some really great Orc heads for free!

Loving those Russian Orcs!

Also today the Kurganova Sisters boxed set from Raging Heroes arrived.
Damn these things are nice, really well detailed models, going to be a pain in the bum to paint


And the box they came in was pretty cool.


But the real stars of today's supply drop are the Kromlech Orc Juggernaut Mecha-Armour Squad. These guys are mind blowingly good. Amazing detail, fantastic sculpts and really great quality casts. I am in love with these.
Here they are against the kitbashed WIP Ghaz for size comparison.


All images can be zoomed in the gallery but my camera is crappy.

Nice drop....you going to be chopping and changing the juggernorks, or building as is?

Are you going to convert those manz?

Not sure, just yet. Going to have a really good look at them this weekend and decide what I want to do.

I just had an idea...

Man all of this stuff looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I too just got back into the hobby after 22 years and are returning to the ork way of life.

Keep it up!

Now that idea is 100% genius!

Cheers lads. I'm REALLY behind on my painting, as the Dredd costume is taking priority.

nice helmet! Now you need the visor.

Working on it.

Getting there. The party is tomorrow night and I haven't found anything suitable for visor. Left it a bit late, really.

Helmet looks quality....what did you make that from?

You can use a motor bike visor from any bike store? typically finding a replacement should work. That or try a costume store and "borrow" a visor from them.

Oh I can't take credit for the helmet. Ebay!
That would have worked perfectly!
It worked out ok though, as did the Mrs' Link costume. My Dredd won me a £500 bottle of whiskey!
Pictures from the night

that costume is epic. Nice win too!

Aye, very nice win. This is the whisky: http://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/chivas/royal-salute-38-year-old-stone-of-destiny-whisky/

Puppets War heads coming together.
