No, that would be more easily understood.

Fun fact: I've met most of the surviving cast at a convention, and got to play with Herr Flick's hat.

I also have a signed picture of Helga in uniform and had real trouble picking one out from her stash that wasn't saucy. Seventeen year old me was confused by this.

Helga was good, but she was no Yvette. Ohhhhh Yvette.

Just the warboss so far mate, I am still working on my one too. I am building a shelf for them though, so it should be good once they all land!

I'll do a groupie when Inspector's Ork arrives.

Got a pic to send you, Januine, re. Tanith. Need to remember that long enough to actually do it.

Tanith?? Send send SEND!!!!! Just finished rereading all of the GG books from the very first to the later collection of short stories. The wife keeps teasing me as they have defintely affected my swearing patterns

I've read the first two, and got the recent anthology in a super posh version, but I'm holding off any more until I finish writing my own IG stories (not a deliberate plug there) because it's easy to get influences or nick bits of lore that don't otherwise exist.
Gonna be a nice reward, that.

Super super series. Though Abnett is an utter bastich at times in his writing!! But that's all part of the tales eh!!!

Does British first class mail get delivered by a dude in a top hat?

That is an excellent suggestion.

My postie does not sport headgear. He wears shorts in winter, when it is snowing, so he must have heat load issues. A hat would probably make him spontaneously combust.

I'm unfortunately aware of who gets bumped off in various stories, and I now almost don;t want to read them. But yes, good stuff.

It's some kind of tradition to see who can keep wearing shorts longest into the year. Now they just do it all year round.

+1 green migrant.

I would consider joining the Postal service if that were true, but alas.

It's called Royal Mail 24 now, rather than First Class. feth knows why.

I refuse to accept that, I shall continue to call it the proper name.

See, less than 24 hours, the new name is misleading. Glad he seems to have arrived unscathed.

He's a cracker. Mum is very impressed by his "neat nailpolish", as she put it.

I'm wondering if that's probably it for the UK crowd, in which case we're just waiting on me and my unassembled fella.

Many thanks for the comments from both yourself and your Mum, and I will remember 'neat nailpolish' for any future orks.

I am finally home from travelling and can finish this Deffkopta off.

Keen to get stuck in, I still have a few days leave, so might try to put it away quickly.

I still haven't been added to the list...

Sorry tactical, I'll add you shortly

Any word for us NA folks yet? It is getting to winter here and it'll be tough for me to prime in two weeks or so.

I've still got mine to add to the UK pile, just being very slow at the moment. They have base coats done.

Done, sorry mate, Internet at home doesn't work and this forum is terrible on mobile

NA bros awaiting shipment, please be patient, oadie has rl problems which have delayed things but he'll be able to ship soon I'm sure.

Put a few hours into the deffkopta.



Not too much left to do on him now, few patterns on the missiles, a few highlights here and there, and the rotors and he will be done.

Looking awesome winter. Weathering is fantastic

Just realised I still have my Ork Boy, but fear not! He's pretty much done, just his shirt left. Sorry for taking so long!

Finished! I'll find some time to take some better pictures tomorrow.

Will have to find time to also hand it off at some point too.

Another one that puts mine to shame! Great stuff!

Oh, and a random thought for the USA painters; since we have an Ork emblazoned with a Union Flag representing GB, anyone fancy trying to incorporate the American flag into theirs?

Awesome!!!!!

Oh god there has to be an AMERICORK

And jesus Christ winter that is amazing!

I am kinda bummed that my model is going to look ordinary sitting next to some of these ones, but I have a plan - put all yours at the front of the shelf, and mine up the back
