Back to the Grim Dark…..

So I did another gift…. and I know my friend always wanted to have a salamender army…. it’s not a whole army but well it’s a base at least

There we go, I finished the “I owe you” note for those which were Christmas presents.

Now I can go back to paint stuff for me. but hopefully that did help building some traction into my painting process

And here is two more, that will bring one unit to 10. now for the 3 next to bring the second unit to 10.

So I wanted to paint some 40k for a while but as soon as I started to work I ended stuck in a painter block…

After a bit I found why, the issue was the uncertainty and didn’t want to mess up a batch of 3 or 7 minis. I found I was happy about trying one so I made a prototype.
Quite happy with it, so I shall keep on painting, also… a couple of days of holidays are around the corner so more painting time.

And Finally… they have been waiting for their pictures for weeks! or even months for the nobs….

Here they are! 2k points of orks DONE!

There, been working on those since last May and finished them this week….

Enough yapping, more pictures! Of course the color guide will be below in order of application.

Well this lag has a good reason to be! It was for a birthday given on the 1st of june for my best friend. Here are some more nurgle troopers for him to enjoy (and beat my arse with) in the grim dark future.

Priviet Komrad!

Here is my first 30  31 Gretchins for my Ork Army Extention.

So you can see the Glorious Grotbadchef and his troup of Revolutionarian Gretchin ready to go on the field of honnor!

Colour guide found below.

I did one with the contrast paint ork skin, didn’t like it so went back to the regular, was it that bad? not really and if I had to get 100 orks on the table top quickly I would use it, but do I prefer it? Nope
