Splattered With Acrylic Paint
|
Hi All 
So when i was 13, all I wanted in the world was Warhammer 40K and a lifetime subscription to White Dwarf. Of course, having no money meant this never came to fruition (Although I did at one point have a standing arcade version of Street Fighter 2, so some dreams did come true).
Now that I'm 30 and have money to spend on a hobby, I have heaps of gear, but of course - no time.
Attached is the first miniature I've painted in at least 10 years. At times I scraped together cash and the occasional marine and some filthy old Tamiya acrylic - so I've had some practice, but obviously need a fair bit more.
Having spent 2 weekends worth of free time on this one nob, I don't imagine I'll be starting an army any time soon, ('cause its mega bad karma to play with unpainted miniatures) and I reckon I'm going to have to give up my dream of a 2000 point "Urzug Gobsmasha's 'Undred an seventeenteen kompazit Ork Tarsks Forz" Army, but hopefully I'll get to paint the whole AoBR box set - 'cept for the tac team which I gave to my friend Andy for his Ultra Marine army.
Hope you guys are doing good.
Sweet.

PS - if you're wondering what the case is, its real dirt from the street that I painted because i was desperate to get finished and couldn't get to a beach to get some real sand. :(

Your Ork looks very good! I likle the weathering!
And dont give up your plans to build the 2000pts Task Fortz, there are ways to paint tons of boys to a good standard in no time, just head over to the Painting and modelling section and ask for advice!

Well hello,
To be honest that is quite good for your first in 10 years. I came back after 9 years and I might as well have painted with broken hands.
Your flesh tone and arm band are great, remember that is a NOB not a HQ so he is not your prize model to show off. Welcome back and congrats on the extra money for a good hobby.
