Space Hulk model looks really good

Work has been crazy for the last few months and we have only really played space hulk. Saw this fella looking unloved and have started throwing paint at him. Long way to go but it's fun fun fun.

Put some more colour on him, can't help but think he wants a pile of dead space marines on that rock in from of him...

Today I am enjoying the delights of my snake bites, such fun to paint.

Put a bit more paint on the big guy

So I was hunting around for the Orky bits I bought from Forgeworld about 6 months ago intent upon finally putting my biker boss together and I found these little fellows :-)

Quick rinse in soapy water, bit of a cleanup and a spray of AP Necrotic Flesh and it's go crazy with paint time.... I love Nurgle, such fun!

Note to self: Stop buying expensive lumps of resin and putting them in cupboards for months

I will be running these little babies as beasts of nurgle in my next game, can't wait to play them.... Might even bring out Scabeiathrax :-)

Knocked up some more twin linked devourers for my fex

I just found this plog and greatly enjoyed scrolling through all the ork stuff. I would love to see you finish your mek shop terrain piece. You have a knack for textures, riveting and details likes signs, glyphs, hatches, fences, etc. that really bring the terrain to life.

I also like the freebooterz battle wagon. Did your son finish painting it? I'd like to see a picture. It is unbelievably good for a ten-year-old. My stuff at age 12 - 14 when I started the hobby looked like utter garbage. I can't wait until my kids (currently 0, 2, 4) are old enough to model and paint with me! Sounds fun.

I'd like to see you get back to the Orks, da best army in da 'ooniverse!

Thank you for your kind words, my son did finish his battlewagon yes but ork town is sitting in the corner looking forlorn

It will all get finished in time and I am back to orks once the nids are painted

Wow, this thread is a joy to go through! So many inspiring ideas. This is why I keep every Orky gubbin, bit and part I've ever had left over! And like a true Mek, I somehow ALWAYS have parts left over when da job's done!

Thanks for the update. Tell your boy the battle wagon looks great! I've been thinking about using that model for an ork conversion for a while (once I get my current projects done!) and now I see it really works well. It's from Dream Forge, right?

Oh, and tell those Tyranids to bugger off (hur hur). Orkses are more fun!

Brilliant thread...not just the models but the comments as well.

It's a Tamiya model that he picked up in Hobbycraft for about a tenner

I am surrounded by half finished 'nids and orks... and have promised the boy I will help him with his Ultramarines

Thanks for clarifying. It's not the model I thought it was. It definitely works well as a Flash Gitz land ship! Great work, especially for a kid. I hope when my kids are a bit older they will be building Ork models that look that good!

Now I am not a GW 'hater' but I always fancied a garden of Morr as a centre piece for cities of death type games. Last week they just wiped it from existence! Gone!

I rang round the stores and found one in Liverpool but still, they cannot have sold out so have they just binned the remaining stock?

Enjoying painting it anyway

Been a while, son went off Warhammer and just played Xbox.

Saw these sitting on the side and thought I might start painting again.
