Terrific work! I like that they are not just blue, but still recognizable as deathskulls.

Thanks wherkind.

High Novasetri, it was the style in the 80s for deathskulls to be multi-colour, with only the facepaint being definitely blue. I think the new style is for everything to be blue or white, which looks a little sad to my eyes.

Nice Deathskulls. The blue face paint is great, I really like how they've all got a different style too.

Great work on these old plastic Orks. The snakebites and deathskulls both look great. How many are you planning to do of each clan?

Somewhere between 10-20. Depends what I can rustle up.

I'm taking a break from orks now to do a horde of zombies! Its a commission job which is nice, and the regiment is made from a mixed undead/empire kit. A regiment of the fresh battlefield dead risen to fight again! Should be fun.

Merry Xmas everyone!

The long hard slog to provide the people with frozen turkey and prawn rings is finally over. Now the heavy drinking and movie trilogy watching will commence.

Hoard of zombies is coming on.





The back rank are a bit more rotted than the first two...



with colour:

They're looking great weets! Merry Christmas to you too.

Merry Christmas.

Great looking unit there. Great colours. Like the mix of levels of decay.

Mooooore progress. Need flag?

Looking Excellent nice conversions as well.

Great stuff, Weety - the (ex-)Empire Zombie horde has come up brilliantly!

The flag is nearly done. Needs a little more dirt methinks.

That banner looks great weets. Fantastic work!

Thanks gitsplitta. Looking at it I think I need to define the red stripes slightly with a darker shade towards the edges.

The banner is looking really nice weety.

Agreed. I also like the "in-between" nature of the Empire banner with the rather foreboding message on it...

That is one outstanding banner, fiddly work well done.

Its not even quite done yet... There I think its finished now.



To celebrate I knocked out some 80s era gretchin.

Those are some cool old-school grots. Well done, Weety!

Love the gretchin, especially the guy with the bandana.

Cool, I love a good gretchin, especially these old ones and the newer ones. the single pose autogun ones from 2nd ed are fairly awful, and space crusade made them lanky and they look like hopping frogs. Hey maybe I should lop off their ears and make a frogman squad?

Anyway I've been furiously batch painting the couple of dozen orks I had left to do so watch this space for pics. I'm doing goffs and yet more bloodaxes.

Lovely stuff any plans for Ork Specialists?

I've got weirdboyz!

Anyway goffs, my goffs are the elite shock troops of the army and have all the best weapons:



The bloodaxes form the rank and file of the army:

I just love the care and attention you give to these retro nuttaz

Hello back again... getting a lot of work in the new job. I'm back on tills again but now I have a chair at least. Retail, its a bee-atch.

Hey graven thanks! I enjoy making them special.

First day off in a week tomorrow and I am stoked about some multipart plastic kits that came today. I've got some frostgrave soldiers who will be ideal for adv heroquest or just for armed civillians. They are too scruffy to be proper soldiers whatever they call them. Nice models, good quality plastic, kinda skyrim-ish in style.

Also picked up a sprue of samurai from Warlord Games. Stuck them together already. People have complained that they have boring poses, I've tried to make mine as interesting as possible. One of them has taken a head as a trophy, I heard it was a samurai thing:

Nice work on the skeletons, love the flag barer.

and great work on the classic orks.

Hi Doc. The client is very happy with the skelly regiment. I enjoy painting undead so its win-win.

Frostgrave soldiers are stuck together. Might have to get another sprue of these, they are perfect for fantasy roleplay.

I've tried to give them archetypal characters:



Paladin, fighter, thief, rogue or barbarian, choose your adventurer!

Nice layout of them, Weety. They'll look good painted up!

You looked at the Frostgrave rules as well? They seem pretty good and it encourages a bestiary......

Had a read about it. It sounds like fun!
