 Excited about 8th edition. Excited to see what happens to the Orks. Getting in one last big game of 7th. Gork knows I have enough boyz. I only have only one problem, they are mostly unpainted. It was probably a lot of me being lazy, but not entirely. I always love to build. I don't always love to paint.
So here's my challenge: I have a 7000 point battle coming up. I would say about 15% of that is painted. I give myself until June to be 100% done with my army. I will drop updates and some pictures as I progress.
Finish off strong, start new with a fresh coat of paint.
Part of the build up is a hope that Orks have a resurgence of sorts and I can try my Waaagh at a tournament. Just for fun, why the hell not?

I've been thinking about going with orcs again. I used to have a dread mob and speed freaks. I'll go with one of those themes again.

So you have around 6k of orks to paint? Thats crazy. I have about 4500 points of orks 120 actual ork boyz and I gave up after painting 2 squads of 30 boyz. Its just so repetitive and boring painting the same model over and over but I have to go back and finish them off.
Good luck. Keep posting progress
