Just becouse I cannot afforrd miniatures, does not mean i cannot paint DA BEST GIT!

I played back in 5th/6th edition (though was aware of earlier editions when I was younger) and the inclusion of Orks in the latest launch box pulled me back in.

I finished building and spraying last night.

Ork Boyz and Grots are sprayed black then grey, should make speed painting them/slap chop easier. I plan to batch paint these to get through them I think. Ork vehicles and bosses painted black for a more traditional, slower deliberate paint method. I’ll paint these start to finish one at a time, hopefully improving each time. Marines are sprayed pink, initially I was going to make these Imperial Fists, but I’m not sure. I’ll stick to the yellow colour scheme though.

There’s a red sprayed Rhino in the back there. I bought some Chaos/Red Corsair boxes, and I let my 4 year old son pick out a model from the local game shop. He picked a Rhino (and often runs around the house with it shouting “boom boom”). He helped build it, I sprayed it Red and we’ll paint it together.

I'm really digging it so far. The changes to mission structure made for an exciting game where we were working toward very different objectives but still butting up against each other. My buddy's Dark Angels got an early lead and looked like he was going to walk away with it for a while, but he eventually just ran out of stuff and I was able to pull a win in the fifth turn.

And his raven.

Not my best work. Missing the blast visor on one guy and had to cut the DW pad on the other and ended up breaking the resin. Tried to make it look like battle damage.

Anyways, the smoke trails are from Deadly Print Studios and they are SO much better than the flight stands. Highly recommend getting them if you can.

Line Breaker

The Warmaster Titan project marches on. I've reached a point on the base where I feel comfortable attaching the miniature to it.
There's two decking screws up through the cargo containers and one through the bottom of the other foot. In both cases construction adhesive is attaching it to the base.
I experimented with making a scale chainlink fence that the Titan is crashing through.

The last set I bought and used was Dark Vengeance. I started with AoBR and immediately fell in love with Orks. L I did buy Leviathan, but life got in the way and I ended up donating it to a local school club. My son is a bit older now, so I think I have the time to get back into the hobby. Orks being in this box is perfect for me.

The addition of contrast/speed paints really excites me, should make even my terrible paint skills look reasonable on the table.

I’ve bought some black and grey spray. Some speed/contrast paints, some brushes, some clippers, some sand paper and a knife.

Not sure the point of this post, other than to say hi and that I’m excited to be back.

Any recommended purchases that I’ve probably overlooked?

I love this story, "a simple 1% increase in the tithe"

Two squads of Sisters in Bloody Rose color scheme, I went with brass for the shoulder emblems instead of white because I think it looks better... and, you know... Blood for the God Emperor, Skulls for the Golden Throne!
