Finshed Models and eBay Oldhammer

Firstly; Some Graduates from my painting queue...

 Recently eBay has been very good to me - and after selling a whole bunch of unused Epic I had a bit of cash to play around with - here's some of the things I picked up:

Reaper Were-Rat

Wargames Foundry Mercenary Orcs (OOP?)- with Queen and Jester

The Mother lode!

 Among the Chaos Champions I also managed to nab myself a Space Skeleton (finally!), a couple of Chaos Warriors, a Pygmy and I also picked up a Space Pirate Loritta.

Anyway, enough of me showing off the extent of my eBay addiction.
Until next time!

The Paint Queue

So, I decided to arrange my current painting projects into a painting queue with the help of a chess board. 20-25mm bases take up one square, 40-50mm take up 4, and so on and so fourth. The only rule is that to add a new model to the queue, space must be cleared for it.

I've found it a fun way to focus myself whilst still giving me freedom to flit between projects (also, it limits my potential paint queue to a maximum of 64 models, so it's not as daunting).

Orctober Unending

Ok, so, i'm only a little late for the end of Orctober. But i did get my model finished (ish). The photo quality is a bit crap (the lighting in my current set-up is a bit basic) but hopefully it doesn't look too washed-out and awful. 

Anyway! Onwards and upwards! 

Orctober Fest 'Old Gory' WIP

Ok! A quick WIP for old gory. Sorry for the bad photo, my camera skills haven't improved much over the years (plus, I'm on a phone camera). Anyway, here's to progress!

Orctober fest!

It's Orctober! Well, it's been Orctober for 23 days and I've only just gotten involved. Which is unsual, since I'm a long standing Orc/k fan, but real life gets in the way. Not to waste an Orcy month, I thought that I'd paint something up that's been sitting in my collection for a long time:

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Gorethz The Massive. The Warlord of the Chaos Goblin army that I've been planning for a long time but has never moved on from there. That is, until now. Specifically since I saw Chico's Chaos Orcs I've really had to give myself a kick up the metaphorical. That's not to say I'm going to get anything completed any quicker. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment. 

What model it it you ask? Well it's from the original Rackham line, before they switched to pre-painted plastic and then to the liquidators - interestingly (to me at least) I was an avid Rackham collector up until I started collecting old Citadel so I've amassed quite a large collection. I guess hoarding OOP is in my blood. 

Anyway, I'm planning on getting Old Gory painted up before the end of the month - as you can see, i've got my work cut out for me.  Wish me luck!

I done made me a building!

Erm, yes. Excuse the title. 

Anyway, so I had all these terrain pieces lying around from the Deadzone Kickstarter,and I decided that I'd try and knock up a couple of pieces. I'm going for less of the Deadzone theme, more of a post-apocalypse sci-fi. Kinda like Gorkamorka meets Necromunda. Meets Fallout. Meets Metro 2023, I guess. 

Who's Tor? He owns the shop (and it is a shop), and he has some very dapper turtle friends. 

What's all this for? I dunno, I like collecting to a theme, and I'm going for PA Sci-Fi. Maybe someday I might play something with it all.

When will it all be done? Never? I'm not really working to a deadline here haha.

I've noticed that we're almost through with ORKtober, and I've not painted a single greenskin! I should probably get around to that....

Some progress!

I've actually done some more W on one of my WIPs! It still needs basing (and I've done some more on the guy on the left) but it's almost finished!
