So today marks the beginning of October, formally known as Orktober . Do you have any plans for this month of orky goodness? I know that, personally, I'm hoping to complete either a kill team or combat patrol's worth of orks this month...

Eh, I'm just gonna keep working on my Chaos Warband.

Bought a Gorkanaut for my walker list, and am eyeing up the Kromlech new releases.

Hmm, I bought some metal Kommandoz recently which are my very first 40K Orks. Orktober would indeed be a good time to paint them. Let's see how fast I can finish the Plague Marines that are on my painting table right now.

Finish painting my shoota boyz for my Croosade Force,
then add a third Deff Dred to it

Attempt to get the base coats and shading on my necrons

A well executed bolter drill and faith in the Emperor. The same plans I have for most Xenos incursions.

(one of these days I might paint some of the old orks that have lurked in the bottom of the pile of shame since the RT era. But probably not any time soon. Already have a full list of stuff I want to get done by the end of the year)

I just got a decent paycheck, maybe I should treat myself to a FW model. I think the grot super-tank is in stock...

Hmm, trying to remember if 'orktober' even happened more than twice. Even including the loose definition of the month that happened a few years back.

Placed my ForFun mini pre-order

Placed my Kromlech order (I like their new stompy beast, but I have one Gargantuan and two 'regular' squiggoths, so not as big of an order as I might have thought)

Waiting for Hardcore Miniatures to release that snazzy new boss

Hoping Artel W has a Iron Horde sale

Watching to see if GW releases the Mega Bommer in Orktober

Basically, slowly killing my wallet.

I'm buying codex space marines.

I think this explains why I had a dream that I was playing Orks. Orktober.. go figure.
Sadly the dream ended with the models being flushed down a toilet... really weird.

Just still working on Blood Angels this month until I get them done enough to call battle ready.
Wondering if Boys will move up to become 2 wound models or just be left as fodder for those killy Assault Intercessors.

Step 1: Basecoat in xenos blood
Step 2: Wash with holy promethium
Step 3: Highlight with the Emperor's Faith...

Exactly!

..... they need to make those actual citidel paints.

I'm trying to sell off my orks

Wouldn’t want to offend any Xenos players... I mean they are already prioritizing SM, so... Who knows?

If they made Xenos Blood as a green or purple equivalent to BftBG technical paint, I think a lot of people would love to have it for modeling wounded aliens. I’d love a one pot solution for some good Tyranid ichor.
