A little bit of a delay since my last blog entry, mainly due to me being
busy with other stuff. But I have made some good progress on the Orks, so a
post is overdue.
Before I post about my Orks, I want to mention the new Warhammer 40K boxed
set. After some negotiations with my better half, Oliver and I have purchased
the boxed set from
Triple Helix Games, for a mere £52 (that’s 20% off).
Oliver is not sure what models he actually wants yet, although I get the Chaos
Marines and the Hell Brute. It looks like a really good set and I cant wait for
it to arrive.
Now back to the Orks. I think I have spent the last few weeks creating my
Cyber Mega Nobs. I wanted all 5 to be done by the end of August for the
Heresy Online Conversion Challenge. I managed it with a
couple of days to spare. Actually I didn't because I wanted 5 models, and I didn’t
have enough parts so had to settle for 4 completed models. I need to get a few
more nid parts and a power claw to complete the 5th figure. But I entered the 4
completed models anyway.
As you can see my picture taking has improved. A different lighting set
allows me to get some great detail, although I have found that the light is
slightly too bright. My mate Rash has directed me to a sort of lamp diffuser
for less than a pound on ebay which I will pickup. Then my pictures should be
much better.
Painting wise I am maybe 2 days behind my schedule as I was distracted by
another conversion project, but more on that in the next entry. I hope to
finish of the orks in the next day so I can use them on Tuesday night. I also
need to get busy and make the spare 10 ork heads to replace my Mexican heads
from puppet wars. I'm still confident I can get this army completed before the
end of the year.
