Hi Everyone,
After a long (read very long - 10 years) time of not touching anything to do with war gaming hobby i decided to dust off my brushes and a few old models of Warhammer, and see if i still have what it takes to paint a miniature or two. I will be posting some works of progress, and hopefully will get some constructive criticism from you all 
So today i painted my first miniature after 10 years, and i'm mostly happy with the results. What was amazing is that my old paints are still usable, and only one of the whole batch completely dried out (and it had to be chaos black ...)
Here are some shots of the Orc boy i'm working on. The base is still in progress as you can see, and i know its far from perfect, but i like it nevertheless
All comments are welcome, and feel free to be brutally honest
Just go easy on me since it really was 10 years like i mentioned

Thanks for the welcome.
In the meanwhile the glue on the rocks dried, so i was able to finish off the base, and here are the results.

Now that i remember it, 10 years is slightly misleading since i did paint one (yes, only one) warmachine model about five years ago
Thanks for all the warm welcomes

As i mentioned, 10 years is a slight misdirection since i did paint one Warmachine warjack some 5 years ago (photos will be posted later today when i get home). As far as Warhammer goes, i didnt paint anything for 10 years (pushing on 11) until i dusted off my old kit and painted that orc boy. Right now i'm waiting for a nice bunch of space marines to arrive (when you live in Israel you have to order everything from abroad ...) so i can start assembling and painting them.
